Colyell is the rural stretch south of Walker along Highway 42 and Highway 63, where the road names come from the creek and the bay that drain this part of the parish toward the Amite. Acreage lots, older brick and frame houses, manufactured homes on piers, and a few newer slab subdivisions near the highway. Colyell Creek came out of its banks in 2016 and put water into houses that sat well back from it, and every wet spring since has kept the ground under the raised houses damp for months.
We remove mold in Colyell. Call and tell us what you see or smell and what got wet.
A manufactured home or a house on piers with a musty smell coming up through the floor is crawl space mold remediation. A slab house that took creek water in 2016 and was closed up fast, with a stain returning along the lower wall, is mold removal.
Tell us what kind of house it is, what got wet, and when. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test.

Growth in more than one room — a house that took water in 2016 and was closed up fast, a roof that leaked all summer, a place that sat empty with the AC off. One plan, sealed and worked room by room.
Dark streaks on the roof deck, a stained ceiling under it, a bathroom fan blowing into the attic, an air handler sweating on its platform. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the rooms below.
The ceiling above the tub, the wall behind the toilet, the floor of the vanity cabinet. Wet every day, and the removal that holds once the water is under control.
A musty smell that shows up when the air conditioner starts. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it around the house.
Raised houses and camps along the Amite, Tickfaw, and Lake Maurepas hold damp air under the floor for months. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and the space set up to dry.
The smell is coming from somewhere. We find the growth behind it and remove it, rather than masking it with a plug-in or a fresh coat of paint.
Work area sealed, air kept under negative pressure, wet drywall and insulation out, framing cleaned and dried before the wall closes. Written report at the end.
A dark patch on drywall or a ceiling gets removed the same careful way as any other color of mold. What changes the job is the water behind it, not the shade.
