Treme is the neighborhood just lakeside of the Quarter and Armstrong Park: Creole cottages, shotguns, and doubles from the early 1800s on piers, some of the oldest housing in the country. The blocks near Rampart are on the ridge and stayed mostly dry in 2005; the blocks toward Broad took water.
We handle mold removal in Treme. Call and tell us where the growth or the smell is and what got wet.
The Treme call is very often a double — one side owner-occupied, one side rented — with a bathroom ceiling that has been painted over more than once, which is bathroom mold removal. Under the house it’s the same damp crawl space as everywhere on the ridge, crawl space mold remediation. New Orleans’ Healthy Homes ordinance says rentals must be free from mold; tell us which side of the lease you’re on.
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.
Found mold after a leak in Treme? 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.
