We remove mold from houses, doubles, condos, and rentals across Orleans Parish — Uptown to the Lower Ninth, Lakeview to Algiers. When you see growth or smell a room that isn’t right, there is one number to call, and the person on the other end does this work for a living.
We pick up at any hour. Describe what you’re seeing or smelling, where it is, and what got wet. Give us a callback number and your ZIP code. If we’re available you’ll be connected right away with the person who does the work; if we’re on a job you’ll get a scheduled callback from a number you’ll recognize. Not sure how serious it is? Call anyway.
Louisiana law keeps two trades apart on the same property: the company that assesses a mold problem can’t be the company that remediates it. We sit on the remediation side. We don’t test, sample, or assess, and we don’t sell any of that. If an assessor has already written a report on your house, keep it by the phone when you call — it tells us where to start.
What we do is seal the area, take out the material that can’t be saved, clean what can, let it dry, and hand you a written report of what came out and why. Louisiana law requires that report, and it’s the document a buyer, a tenant, or an insurance adjuster will ask to see.
Mold here has its own history and its own housing. After Katrina, CDC investigators found visible mold in 45 percent of the New Orleans homes they surveyed; roughly 80 percent of the city had flooded. Twenty years later the stock is a mix that no other Louisiana city has: shotguns and doubles on piers in Uptown, the Marigny, and the Seventh Ward with damp crawl spaces under wood floors; 1950s and 60s slab ranches in Lakeview, Gentilly, and New Orleans East that were gutted and re-sheeted after the levee breaches; and post-storm rebuilds tight enough that a small leak has no way out. A large share of the city rents, and New Orleans’ Healthy Homes ordinance says rentals must be free from mold. On top of all of it sits 88 percent morning humidity that never really takes a season off. We ask about the house, the water, and who lives there, in that order.
Louisiana requires a state mold remediation license for any job over $7,500, issued by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors after twenty-four hours of board-approved training, and a general contractor without it is capped at twenty square feet. Look any Louisiana contractor up at lacontractor.org or call 1-800-256-1392. Ask for the license number, a certificate of insurance, and a written scope before the work starts — from us or anyone else.
