Holy Cross is the river end of the Lower Ninth, on the natural levee, which is why its 1850s through 1920s shotguns, cottages, and steamboat houses survived 2005 when the blocks toward the canal did not. It still flooded — several feet in most of it — and the old houses were gutted and rebuilt. They sit on brick piers over ground that stays wet.
We remove mold in Holy Cross. Call and describe what you see or smell and what got wet.
The Holy Cross call is an old house with a post-Katrina rebuild inside it: plaster or drywall that was closed over framing that hadn’t dried, and growth returning at the same spot years later — mold removal. Under the house it’s a wet crawl space after a hard rain, crawl space mold remediation. If you rent, say so.
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 Holy Cross? 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.
