Islip Terrace (11752) is one of the communities in western Suffolk; neighboring areas include Bohemia, Central Islip and Islandia. After the record August 2014 rainfall in Islip, basements that flooded and were not dried completely often developed mold.
Extended outages after storms such as Isaias in 2020 leave basements without dehumidification, which gives mold an opening. Dampness behind finished basement walls in Islip Terrace often goes unnoticed until a musty smell appears. Condensation in poorly vented attics is a quiet source of mold growth.
For Islip Terrace property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
Nearby areas served include Bohemia, Central Islip and Islandia. Crews also handle water damage in Islip Terrace and fire and smoke damage in Islip Terrace.
