The Faubourg Marigny is the neighborhood just downriver of the Quarter — Creole cottages, shotguns, and two-story townhouses from the early 1800s onward, on piers, on the natural levee. It escaped the worst of the 2005 flooding but has more than a century of roof leaks, plaster repairs, and window units cut into walls.
We take mold calls from Marigny at any hour. Tell us what you’re seeing and what got it wet.
Marigny calls tend to be plaster: a brown stain on a ceiling under a leaking roof valley, or growth on the plaster of a wall where a window unit has been dripping inside for a summer — mold removal. The second call is a musty smell with nothing visible, which in these houses is usually coming from under the floor and is mold odor removal that leads to the crawl space.
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 only — we don’t test.
Found mold after a leak in Marigny? Call.
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.
