Watson is where the 2016 number comes from: roughly 31 inches of rain in two days, the highest total anywhere in the flood. It’s an unincorporated community on Highway 16 north of Denham Springs, close enough to the Amite that the river came through neighborhoods that had stood dry for decades. The housing runs from acreage homes and older brick ranches along Highway 16 and Magnolia Bridge Road to newer slab subdivisions built out through the 2000s and again in the rebuild after the flood.
We remove mold in Watson. Call and tell us what you see or smell and what got wet.
If your house flooded and was closed back up before the framing fully dried, a smell or a stain years later is the call to make. Across more than one room, that is whole-home mold remediation. A single wall or ceiling is mold removal.
Tell us whether the house took water in 2016 and what has gotten wet since. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test.
Still smells off in Watson? Call and tell us which room.
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.
