Youngsville went from a crossroads to a city of new subdivisions in fifteen years, nearly all of it slab construction: Sugar Mill Pond, Copper Meadows, the subdivisions off Chemin Metairie. It also sits on some of the lowest ground in the parish, between Coulee Ile des Cannes and the Vermilion, and in August 2016 water went into hundreds of those houses.
We remove mold in Youngsville. 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.
A lot of Youngsville houses were dried from the room side in 2016: carpet out, drywall cut at two feet or not at all. When one of those has a room that still smells wrong every wet week, that is whole-home mold remediation or mold removal inside walls that were never opened. The other regular call is a sweating attic unit over a tight house — HVAC and duct mold remediation. Newer home, same moisture rules.
Describe where you see it, what got wet, and how long ago. We remove mold; we don’t test.

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.
