Carrollton is the upriver end of Uptown, where the streetcar turns at the bend. The riverside blocks near Oak and Maple stayed dry in 2005; the lakeside blocks toward Claiborne and the Palmetto canal took water. The housing is raised shotguns, bungalows, and doubles from the 1890s through the 1930s on brick piers, with plenty of student rentals near the universities.
We handle mold removal in Carrollton. Call and tell us where the growth or the smell is and what got wet.
The Carrollton call splits along that line. Riverside, it’s a damp crawl space — a musty back room after rain, soft floorboards by the bath — which is crawl space mold remediation. Lakeside, it’s more often a wall that was rebuilt after 2005 and a baseboard that has softened since, mold removal. In the rentals, it’s a tenant calling about a bathroom ceiling.
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.
Call and describe what you’re seeing in Carrollton.
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.
