Maurice is a Vermilion Parish village on US 167 south of Lafayette that has become a suburb: slab subdivisions built since the mid-2000s on flat prairie, an older village center of frame houses, and rural lots in between. The ground drains slowly toward the Vermilion and the coulees, and in August 2016 water reached houses here that were outside any mapped flood zone.
We remove mold in Maurice. 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.
Slab houses that took water in 2016 and were dried from the room side bring mold removal inside walls that were never opened, or whole-home mold remediation when several rooms are involved. Newer tight houses bring the attic-unit calls — HVAC and duct mold remediation. The older frame houses on piers near the center bring crawl space mold remediation.
Describe where you see it, what got wet, and how long ago. We remove mold; we don’t test.
Musty room in Maurice? 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.
