Alton is the unincorporated stretch along Highway 11 north of Slidell toward Pearl River — piney woods, acreage, older frame houses on piers set back from the road, mobile homes, and newer brick houses on slabs. The lake is far off, but the ground is flat and low, the ditches fill fast, and the Pearl River backwater finds the lowest lots after a wet week. Ida came through with the same wind that hit the rest of the parish.
We remove mold in Alton. Call and tell us what you see or smell, what got wet, and when. If we’re on a job, you’ll get a scheduled callback from a number you’ll recognize.
Older houses on piers with water standing under them after rain are crawl space mold remediation calls. Mobile homes with a soft floor near the bathroom, or a roof seam that started leaking in Ida, usually need mold removal in the room under the leak once the roof is patched. The water has to stop for the work to hold, and we tell you what has to change.
Say where it is, what got wet, and how long ago. We remove mold; testing isn’t something we do.
Tell us when the water problem started.
Cold air through a hot attic makes condensation, and a musty blast every time the unit starts is the tell. Growth at the coil, plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it around.
Raised houses in Olde Towne, along Bayou Liberty, and every home lifted after Katrina have a damp space underneath. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and what has to change for it to stay dry.
One room that smells like a wet box after every rain has a reason. We find the material behind the smell, remove it, and clean the cavity — instead of masking it.
Containment, negative pressure, and the wet drywall, trim, and insulation out of the house — framing cleaned and dried before anything gets closed up again.
A dark patch on a ceiling or baseboard after a long leak gets the same removal as any other growth. CDC says the type doesn’t change the job; the water behind it is what matters.
A surge line along every wall, a roof that leaked through a whole season, or a house that sat shut and wet after Ida. Room-by-room containment and removal on one plan, one report.
Dark staining on the roof deck after a leak, a blown-off shingle, or a bath fan dumping into the attic. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the rooms below.
The ceiling over the shower, the wall behind the toilet, the floor of the vanity cabinet. Small rooms that never dry, and removal that holds once the moisture is handled.
