East Islip (11730) sits on Suffolk's South Shore, with Great River, Islip and Oakdale nearby. Flooding from Hurricane Sandy in 2012 soaked bayfront homes along the Great South Bay, and wet materials left behind are a classic source of mold.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss. After flooding, materials that stay wet behind walls and under floors are the usual starting point for mold.
