Brightwaters (11718) is an incorporated village in the Town of Islip, on Suffolk's South Shore, close to West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. 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. Mold in flood-prone areas frequently starts in materials that were wet once and never fully dried. Damp bay air slows natural drying, which gives mold more time to establish after water gets in.
That is why acting early matters in Brightwaters: mold spreads wherever moisture stays.
Crews also serve nearby West Islip, Bay Shore and Islip. Crews also handle water damage in Brightwaters and fire and smoke damage in Brightwaters.
