Lafayette grew out from the Vermilion River in rings: raised cottages in Freetown-Port Rico and the Saint Streets from the 1920s and 30s; slab ranches along Johnston Street from the 1950s through the 70s; then tight, attic-air-handler subdivisions pushing south toward Youngsville. All of it gets more than 60 inches of rain a year, and the south side sits in the low ground that flooded in August 2016.
We remove mold in Lafayette. 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.
In the old raised houses the call is a musty smell coming up through the floor — crawl space mold remediation. In the slab ranches it’s a soft baseboard or a stained wall behind the bathroom, from original plumbing inside the wall — mold removal. In the newer south-side houses it’s a musty smell tied to the air conditioning — HVAC and duct mold remediation.
Tell us where you see it or smell it, what got wet, and roughly when. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test or assess.
Call and tell us what you found in Lafayette.
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.
