Great River is one of the communities on Suffolk's South Shore; neighboring areas include Oakdale, East Islip and West Sayville. Homes that took on bay water during Sandy in 2012 often developed hidden mold where drywall and insulation stayed damp.
Mold after the August 2014 flood became common where basements stayed damp. A moisture survey shows where dampness is hiding, so remediation can target the source and not just visible growth. Low-lying basements and ground-level enclosures hold moisture, and mold often appears on drywall, carpet, and stored belongings.
Knowing these local patterns helps crews in Great River check the likely hiding spots, not just the visible staining.
