Abbeville is the Vermilion Parish seat, twenty miles south of Lafayette on the Vermilion River, with raised houses around Magdalen Square from the late 1800s and slab ranches from the 1950s onward filling in around them. Hurricane surge from Rita and Ike reached parts of the parish, and the river backs up into the older neighborhoods in a long rain.
We remove mold in Abbeville. Call and tell us what you see or smell and what got wet. If we’re available you’re connected while you’re on the line; if we’re working, you get a callback slot and the number to watch for.
The raised houses around the square bring crawl space mold remediation: a smell coming up through the floor, insulation hanging wet between the joists. The slab ranches bring the usual mold removal from plumbing inside the walls. Houses that took surge or rain water in a storm year and were dried in a rush bring whole-home mold remediation calls when a room never smelled right again, sometimes years later.
Describe where you see it, what got wet, and how long ago. We remove mold; we don’t test.
Musty room in Abbeville? Call and tell us where you smell it.
A musty smell in one room, or through the whole house when the air conditioning starts, has a source. We find the growth that makes it and take it out — no sprays, no cover-ups.
Growth on drywall, a ceiling, a closet wall, or behind a cabinet after a roof or plumbing leak. Contained, cut out, cleaned, and dried before the wall closes back up.
Greenish-black patches on drywall, ceiling tile, or paper that stayed wet a long time. The color doesn’t change the basic problem — the wet material comes out either way.
After a flood, a long-running leak, or a house left shut up damp for a season, growth in several rooms gets one plan: containment, removal, and cleaning, room by room.
Dark roof decking and rafters from a slow roof leak, a bath fan blowing into the attic, or a sweating air handler on its platform. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the house.
The ceiling over the shower, the wall behind the tub, the floor of the vanity cabinet. Small rooms that never fully dry, and removal that holds once the water is under control.
Musty air every time the system runs, or a dark ring around one supply vent. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet insulated duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops spreading it.
Older raised houses in Freetown, the Saint Streets, and the Teche towns sit over air that never dries. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and the space set up to stay drier.
