Plainview (11803) is one of the communities in the central Nassau area; neighboring areas include Hicksville, Old Bethpage and Woodbury. Without the moisture barriers used in newer construction, Plainview basements hold dampness that supports mold growth.
Finished basements built over original slabs can hide moisture behind paneling and carpet for a long time before growth becomes visible. Hidden moisture from an old leak is one of the most common reasons mold turns up in Plainview homes. Bathrooms in older, smaller homes frequently have weak or no exhaust ventilation, so humid air settles into walls and ceilings.
For Plainview property owners, that means finding the moisture behind the mold first, then containing and removing the growth safely.
The same crews cover nearby Hicksville, Old Bethpage and Woodbury. Crews also handle water damage in Plainview and fire and smoke damage in Plainview.
