Smithtown (11787) is one of the communities in West Suffolk; neighboring areas include Kings Park, Nesconset and Commack. Mold often traces back to an earlier water event that did not get dried thoroughly.
Finished basements built over original slabs can hide moisture behind paneling and carpet for a long time before growth becomes visible. Added insulation without better attic ventilation can trap humidity and support mold in Smithtown homes. Moisture from showers settles into ceilings and walls when exhaust fans are missing or vent into the attic.
For Smithtown property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
