Mid-City is the middle of the bowl: raised shotguns and doubles from the early 1900s along Canal, Banks, and the streets toward Bayou St. John. It took three to five feet of water in 2005 and drains slowly after any hard rain even now, because it sits below the level of the canals that carry the water out.
We handle mold removal in Mid-City. Call and tell us where the growth or the smell is and what got wet.
The typical Mid-City call is a smell coming up through the wood floor after rain — standing water under a raised house — which is crawl space mold remediation. In the doubles that were gutted and re-sheeted after the storm, it’s a wall that was closed before the framing dried, which is mold removal. Much of Mid-City is rented; if you’re a tenant, say so.
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.
Ready to get it removed? 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.
