Metairie is the biggest unincorporated place in Louisiana, and almost all of it went up between 1950 and 1975: slab ranches on drained land between the lake levee and Airline Highway, around Veterans, West Esplanade, and Clearview. Most of it sits below sea level and stays dry because the parish pumps rain out through the canals. The exception is the ridge along Metairie Road, where Old Metairie sits higher.
We remove mold in Metairie. Call and tell us what you see or smell and what got wet. Reach us and you’re connected right away; catch us on a job and you’ll get a scheduled callback from a number you’ll recognize.
The AC is behind most of our calls here: a musty smell that tracks with the cooling, a dark ring around a vent, a stain under the attic air handler — HVAC and duct mold remediation. After that come slab-house bathroom walls with original plumbing, and on the east side, houses that took 17th Street Canal water in 2005.
Say where you see it or smell it, what got wet, and about when it started. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test or assess.
Musty vent in Metairie? Call and tell us which one.
A ceiling that stays spotted over the shower, a soft wall behind the tub, a cabinet floor under the sink. The dampest room in a house that never gets a dry day, and the removal that holds once the water stops.
Metairie cooling systems run almost all year, and the smell that shows up when the air kicks on has a source. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet insulated duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it around.
Raised houses in Old Metairie, Harahan, and old Gretna sit over damp ground with a high water table. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and the space set up to stay drier.
That musty room, closet, or vent smells that way for a reason. We find the growth behind the smell and remove it, instead of masking it with a spray.
Contained work area under negative pressure, wet drywall, trim, and insulation out, framing cleaned and dried before anything closes back up — and a written report of what came out.
Dark growth on drywall, ceilings, or baseboards gets removed the same careful way as any other mold. CDC says the type doesn’t change the job; the moisture behind it is what matters.
When growth runs through several rooms after a flood, a long leak, or a house that sat closed up after a storm — containment, removal, and cleaning, room by room, on one plan.
Staining on the roof deck and rafters from a roof leak, a bathroom fan venting into the attic, or an air handler sweating all summer — cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the living space.
