Working in New Orleans
Mold grows almost year round, and after a storm or flood it can spread within days. Fast drying is the priority, so ask how soon the team can start, how they contain the work, and what humidity control they recommend for the home afterward.
New Orleans is a major Gulf port, the country's primary petrochemical-export gateway, and a hospitality-heavy market with year-round high humidity. Louisiana's petrochemical, port, and hospitality concentrations along the Gulf coast operate in a humid subtropical climate with hurricane exposure and persistent year-round pest pressure.

Questions
Do you take mold inspection and remediation jobs in New Orleans?
Yes. Requests from New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette and the rest of Louisiana are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.
Can we stay home during mold removal?
Usually, yes. The work area is sealed off with plastic and kept under negative pressure, so air is drawn out through filters instead of into the house. For large jobs, or if someone in the home has a respiratory condition, you may prefer to stay elsewhere for a day or two. The specialist can tell you what to expect for your job.
Do you handle condos, rentals and small commercial buildings?
Yes. Owners of condos, duplexes, triplexes, small apartment buildings and small commercial properties are welcome to request a quote. Mention the building type and whether tenants live there so the right specialist reviews it.
How do I get a quote?
Email us your city, the service you think you need, and what you are seeing or smelling, including where it is and roughly how big the area looks. A specialist who works in your area follows up to set up an inspection. Requesting a quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Can I clean mold myself?
Small patches, under about 10 square feet (1 square metre), on hard surfaces like tile, a window frame or a shower caulk line can usually be cleaned with soap and water while wearing gloves and a mask. Larger areas, mold inside walls, in insulation or in the attic, or mold that keeps coming back are worth having assessed. Bleach is a poor choice on drywall and wood: it does not reach into the material and it adds moisture.
Is black mold dangerous?
Many molds look black, and colour alone does not tell you the species or the risk. Any mold growing indoors can irritate the eyes, nose and lungs, and it is a bigger concern for people with asthma, allergies or weakened immune systems, young children and older adults. The approach is the same whatever the colour: fix the moisture and remove the mold safely.
