Springfield sits on Highway 22 in the southeast corner of the parish, between the Natalbany and Tickfaw rivers and a few miles north of Lake Maurepas. Water here comes from two directions: river rise after heavy rain to the north, and backwater pushed up from the lake when a storm surge comes through Pass Manchac. The housing reflects it — raised houses and camps on piers near the rivers, older frame houses in town, and slab homes on the higher lots along the highway.
We remove mold in Springfield. Call and tell us what you see or smell and what got wet.
Under a raised house the call is usually a musty smell coming up through the floor and insulation hanging wet under the joists — crawl space mold remediation. In the slab houses it is a bathroom ceiling or a wall that took water and was dried in a hurry.
Tell us what got wet, when, and whether the house is raised or on slab. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test.
Smell it through the floor in Springfield? Call.
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.
