We remove mold in Denham Springs, Walker, Watson, Livingston, and the river and lake communities from Port Vincent down to Maurepas. If you found it, or you keep smelling it, there is one number to call, and the people who do the work are on the other end of it.
Watson took about 31 inches of rain in two days in August 2016. Most of the homes that flooded sat outside the mapped floodplain, three of every four houses in the parish were counted as total losses, and nearly all of them were rebuilt within a year on whatever schedule got the family home. Slab subdivisions off Juban Road and Range Avenue were gutted to the studs and closed back up fast. Raised houses and camps on the Amite, the Tickfaw, and Lake Maurepas breathe damp air under the floor eleven months a year. The newer, tighter houses in Walker and Juban Crossing run the air conditioner from March to November, and one seeping supply line inside a sealed wall has nowhere to dry. Those are three different kinds of house with one problem in common: wet material that never got the chance to dry.
Before we quote anything, we look at what got wet. That means the room you called about, the wall or floor around it, the attic or the space under the house if the water could have come from there, and the old water line if the house took the river in 2016. Then you get a written scope of what has to come out and what can be cleaned where it stands. We remove mold; we don’t fix the roof, the plumbing, or the drainage that let the water in. We work with contractors who handle that, and we’ll cover it on the call, because the removal only holds once the water has stopped.
We serve Denham Springs, Walker, Watson, Livingston, Satsuma, Juban Crossing, Colyell, Albany, Holden, Springfield, Killian, Port Vincent, French Settlement, and Maurepas — the whole of Livingston Parish, from the slab subdivisions along I-12 to the camps on pilings where the Amite meets the lake.
Any mold job over $7,500 in Louisiana requires a state mold remediation license from the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, which takes twenty-four hours of board-approved training to earn. Louisiana also keeps the company that assesses a mold problem separate from the company that removes it; we are the removal side only, and if an assessor has already written a report on your house, keep it nearby when you call. You can check any contractor at lacontractor.org or by calling 1-800-256-1392. Ask us — or anyone who gives you a price — for the license number, a certificate of insurance, and a written scope before the first sheet of plastic goes up.
Tell us where you see it or smell it, and what got wet — whether that was last week or August 2016. Give us a callback number and your ZIP code. Reach us between jobs and you talk to us immediately; catch us mid-job in Denham Springs or Walker and we book a callback slot and let you know which number will be calling you back. We answer at any hour.
