Fontainebleau is the stretch of Mandeville east of the Causeway along Highway 190 toward the state park and Bayou Cane. The subdivisions here went in from the 1980s through the 2000s — slab houses, close to the lake, on ground that was marsh and pine flatwoods and still sits low. Katrina’s surge reached into parts of it in 2005, and the drainage canals that run through the neighborhoods fill fast in a hard rain. The newer builds toward 1088 are sealed and cooled like everything on the Northshore since 2005.
We remove mold in Fontainebleau. Call and tell us what you see or smell and whether the house took water in a storm.
Houses that had surge in 2005 and were dried fast bring mold removal calls years later — a line along the base of a wall, a room that never smelled right after. The newer houses bring the sealed-house problems: a musty bedroom, a ring around a vent, a bathroom ceiling stain, which is mold odor removal or bathroom mold removal.
Say which room, what you see or smell, and roughly when it started. We remove mold; we don’t test.
Open up a wall in Fontainebleau and find mold? Call.
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.
