New Orleans East is the largest stretch of the city by land and one of the lowest, built out on drained marsh from the 1960s on: slab ranches and two-story subdivisions off Read, Bullard, and Crowder, plus apartments and townhouses along I-10. Nearly all of it flooded in 2005 and was rebuilt over the following decade — some of it well, some of it fast.
We remove mold in New Orleans East. Call and describe what you see or smell and what got wet.
The East call is most often a rebuild that never fully dried — a musty bedroom, a line of growth returning at the bottom of a wall — which is mold removal or, when it runs through several rooms, whole-home mold remediation. The city’s Healthy Homes ordinance says rentals must be free from mold; the written report is the record for either side.
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.
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.
