Gentilly sits on the low side of the Gentilly Ridge, between the London Avenue Canal and the Industrial Canal, and most of it flooded when the London Avenue floodwalls failed in 2005. The housing is largely post-war: slab ranches and raised-basement houses from the 1940s through the 60s around Dillard, Pontchartrain Park, and Gentilly Terrace.
We remove mold in Gentilly. Call and describe what you see or smell and what got wet.
The raised-basement houses are their own case — a ground floor that flooded and has been closed up ever since — and that is often whole-home mold remediation. In the slab ranches it’s a bathroom wall with original plumbing behind it, bathroom mold removal, or a window unit that has been dripping down the inside of a wall. Tenants and landlords both call us; the written report serves either.
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.
Found mold after a leak in Gentilly? 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.
