Oakdale (11769), on Suffolk's South Shore, borders or sits near West Sayville, Great River and Sayville. After the record Great South Bay flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, mold from materials that stayed wet became a lasting problem for bayfront homes.
Mold after the August 2014 flood became common where basements stayed damp. Coastal humidity in Oakdale means damp materials dry slowly, and mold takes advantage of that window. Ground-level spaces near the bays stay damp for long stretches, which supports growth on framing and stored items.
For Oakdale property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
