Abita Springs sits in the piney woods a few miles east of Covington, and the pines are the story. The lots are big and shaded, the Abita River runs through the middle of town, and the ground under the trees stays damp for days after rain. The housing is a mix: older cottages and camps near the town center, many on piers, and the newer houses on acreage off Highway 36 and 435 that went up after 2000 — sealed, cooled, and sitting on ground that never fully dries.
We remove mold in Abita Springs. Call and tell us what you’re noticing and where.
Under the older raised houses the call is a smell coming up through the floor — crawl space mold remediation. In the newer houses on shaded lots it is more often a musty closet on the north side of the house, or a dark ring around a supply vent, which is mold odor removal or HVAC and duct mold. Pine shade is pleasant. It is also slow to dry.
Say which room, what you see or smell, and roughly when it started. We remove mold; we don’t test.
Call and tell us where the smell is strongest in Abita Springs.
Raised cottages in Old Mandeville and older houses along the rivers sit over damp ground that never sees sun. Joists and subfloor cleaned in place, wet insulation out, the space set up to stay drier.
One closet or back bedroom that never smells right in a house that looks fine. We find the growth behind the smell and remove it instead of covering it up.
Containment, negative pressure, and the wet drywall, trim, and insulation out of the house — then the framing cleaned and dried before anything gets closed back up.
A dark patch on a ceiling, a wall, or a baseboard after a leak that ran a while. The color doesn’t change the removal; the moisture behind it is what matters.
Growth through several rooms after surge, a roof that leaked all summer, or a house that sat closed up wet. One sequenced plan, room by room, with one report at the end.
Staining on the roof deck above the air handler, a bath fan that ends in the attic, or a leak around a vent boot. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the house below.
The ceiling over the shower, the wall behind the tub, the floor around the toilet. Small rooms that stay wet, and the removal that holds once the water is handled.
Musty air the moment the system starts, or a dark ring around one supply vent. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced so it stops spreading.
