Bayou St. John is the neighborhood along the old waterway between Mid-City and the lake, with the Esplanade Ridge running through it. The ridge blocks — raised cottages and Greek Revival houses from the 1800s — stayed mostly dry in 2005; the blocks that slope toward Mid-City and toward Lakeview flooded. The housing runs from 1850s raised cottages to 1920s bungalows to 1950s ranches.
We handle mold removal in Bayou St. John. Call and tell us where the growth or the smell is and what got wet.
Along the bayou, calls are about damp crawl spaces under raised houses — a musty room after rain, soft floorboards — which is crawl space mold remediation. On the lower blocks it’s a rebuild from 2006 that never fully dried, mold removal. Tell us whether the house sits on piers or slab, and what got wet.
If we can pick up, you’re connected right then; if we’re mid-job you get a callback time and the number it will come from. Removal and remediation only; we don’t test or assess.
Call and tell us where the smell is strongest.
Dark staining on the roof deck above a bathroom fan, a sweating air handler, or the leak that opened up in the last storm. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the rooms below.
The ceiling over the tub, the wall behind the toilet, the floor of the vanity cabinet. Small rooms that never dry out in New Orleans, and removal that holds once the water is under control.
A musty blast every time the air conditioning starts. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in sweating insulated duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it through the house.
Shotguns, doubles, and raised cottages on piers hold damp air and standing water under the floor. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and the space set up to stay drier.
A room that smells like a wet box and looks fine. Finding the growth that makes the smell and taking it out, instead of covering it with a spray.
Work area sealed and under negative pressure, the wet drywall, trim, and insulation out, the framing cleaned and dried before anything gets closed back up.
Dark, slimy, or greenish-black growth on drywall, ceilings, or baseboards. The color doesn’t change what we do; what got it wet does.
Growth through several rooms after floodwater, a roof that leaked all summer, or a house that sat shut with the power off. Room-by-room containment and removal on one plan.
