Oakdale (11769) sits along Suffolk's South Shore, with West Sayville, Great River and Sayville nearby. Homes that took on bay water during Sandy in 2012 often developed hidden mold where drywall and insulation stayed damp.
Flooded basements from the record August 2014 storm are a reminder of how quickly mold follows an incompletely dried loss.

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