Mold Removal in Lower Ninth Ward, LA
The Lower Ninth Ward took the most catastrophic water in the city in 2005 when the Industrial Canal floodwall failed. What came back is a patchwork: surviving shotguns and cottages on piers that were gutted and rebuilt, new raised houses on tall piers, and empty lots between them. It sits below sea level between the canal, the river, and Bayou Bienvenue.
We take mold calls from Lower Ninth Ward at any hour. Tell us what you’re seeing and what got it wet.
The usual Lower Ninth Ward call
The Lower Nine call is usually a rebuild — a house that was dried and closed up in the years after the storm and has had a musty room ever since — which is mold removal or, when it runs through several rooms, whole-home mold remediation. Under the surviving raised houses it’s standing water after rain, crawl space mold remediation.

Services Available in Lower Ninth Ward
Attic Mold Remediation
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.
Bathroom Mold Removal
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.
HVAC and Duct Mold Remediation
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.
Crawl Space Mold Remediation
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.
Mold Odor Removal
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.
Mold Removal
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.
Black Mold Removal
Dark, slimy, or greenish-black growth on drywall, ceilings, or baseboards. The color doesn’t change what we do; what got it wet does.
Whole-Home Mold Remediation
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.
