Located along Suffolk's South Shore in the Town of Brookhaven, Shirley (11967) is a short drive from Mastic Beach, Brookhaven and Mastic. Homes that took on bay water during Sandy in 2012 often developed hidden mold where drywall and insulation stayed damp.
Power loss after a major storm stops dehumidifiers and sump pumps, and mold can follow within days. Mold in flood-prone areas frequently starts in materials that were wet once and never fully dried.

For Shirley property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
