Olde Towne is the original Slidell: the blocks around Front Street and the railroad, with shotgun houses, cottages, and bungalows from the 1890s through the 1930s, most of them on brick piers under old trees. Bayou Bonfouca wraps the south side, and in 2005 the surge came up the bayou and put water through the district. A lot of these houses were restored rather than replaced, which means century-old framing that has been wet at least once and closed back up.
Mold in Olde Towne? Call and describe what you see or smell and what got wet. If we’re on a job, you’ll get a scheduled callback from a number you’ll recognize.
The classic call here is an old piered house with a low, tight crawl space where a slow drain leak has been feeding the joists for years — crawl space mold remediation. The other one is a bathroom that was added to a house never built with one, tucked against an exterior wall with no fan, which is bathroom mold removal.
Say where it is, what got wet, and how long ago. We remove mold; testing isn’t something we do.
Call and tell us what you found.
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.
