Contain

Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.

Good to know
Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in West Bay Shore, NY: common questions
How fast should I call after a flood?
As soon as it's safe. Mold risk climbs quickly once materials stay wet, so the sooner cleanup starts, the more of the structure can typically be saved.
Can I stay in my home during flood mold cleanup?
It depends on how much of the home was affected. We'll walk you through what areas need to be closed off during the work.
Will my homeowners policy cover storm-related mold?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the water. We document everything thoroughly to support your claim.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after flood & storm mold cleanup?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a West Bay Shore home.
Is flood water mold cleanup different from a regular leak?
Yes, flood water can carry contaminants, so porous materials that got wet are often removed rather than dried and reused.
Do you handle basement flooding from spring rain?
Yes, spring runoff and spring rain flooding into basements and crawl spaces is common in Islip and we handle it regularly.
Do I need to leave my West Bay Shore home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the West Bay Shore home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
