Port Vincent is a river town where Highway 16 and Highway 42 meet the Amite, and the Amite is the whole story. Houses here are raised on piers or pilings because the river comes up regularly, and 2016 was only the worst of many years. The camps and homes along the river and the Diversion Canal spend part of most summers with the ground under them wet, and the ones on slab closer to the highway took water in 2016 that never had before.
We remove mold in Port Vincent. Call and tell us what you see or smell and what got wet.
Under a raised house it’s a musty smell through the floor and dark growth on the joists after a wet spring — crawl space mold remediation. In a house that took river water and was dried fast, it’s a line of growth along the lower wall, which is mold removal.
Tell us how high the water got and when, and what you’re seeing now. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test.
Smell it after the river comes up in Port Vincent? Call.
Growth in more than one room — a house that took water in 2016 and was closed up fast, a roof that leaked all summer, a place that sat empty with the AC off. One plan, sealed and worked room by room.
Dark streaks on the roof deck, a stained ceiling under it, a bathroom fan blowing into the attic, an air handler sweating on its platform. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the rooms below.
The ceiling above the tub, the wall behind the toilet, the floor of the vanity cabinet. Wet every day, and the removal that holds once the water is under control.
A musty smell that shows up when the air conditioner starts. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it around the house.
Raised houses and camps along the Amite, Tickfaw, and Lake Maurepas hold damp air under the floor for months. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and the space set up to dry.
The smell is coming from somewhere. We find the growth behind it and remove it, rather than masking it with a plug-in or a fresh coat of paint.
Work area sealed, air kept under negative pressure, wet drywall and insulation out, framing cleaned and dried before the wall closes. Written report at the end.
A dark patch on drywall or a ceiling gets removed the same careful way as any other color of mold. What changes the job is the water behind it, not the shade.
