Call 631-239-7110Oakdale (11769) is in the Town of Islip, on Suffolk's South Shore, close to West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. After the record Great South Bay flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, mold from materials that stayed wet became a lasting problem for bayfront homes.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss. A moisture survey shows where dampness is hiding, so remediation can target the source and not just visible growth. Damp bay air slows natural drying, which gives mold more time to establish after water gets in.
For Oakdale property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
Nearby areas served include West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. Crews also handle water damage in Oakdale and fire and smoke damage in Oakdale.
