The Garden District is the antebellum mansions and raised villas between Jackson and Louisiana Avenues, on the natural levee, under a canopy of live oaks. It didn’t flood in 2005. What it has is scale: big houses on piers with deep crawl spaces, slate roofs that have been patched for 150 years, plaster walls a foot thick, and shaded grounds that keep the underside of a house wet all year.
We remove mold in Garden District. Call and describe what you see or smell and what got wet.
Garden District calls are usually plaster and floor. A roof valley or a chimney flashing that has been seeping into a plaster ceiling for a season is mold removal, and a musty parlor floor over a wet crawl space is crawl space mold remediation. Bigger houses also mean longer duct runs through hot attics, which is where HVAC and duct mold remediation comes in.
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 before the affected area gets larger.
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.
