Old Metairie grew up along the Metairie Ridge — the old bayou bank under Metairie Road — and its houses show it: 1920s-to-50s cottages and two-stories on piers, oaks over the street, and a few feet of natural elevation the rest of the parish doesn’t have. The ridge stayed above the water in 2005. The streets sloping toward the lake and the 17th Street Canal didn’t.

The raised houses bring a crawl-space smell up through the floor, and the older plumbing leaks downward rather than into a wall — crawl space mold remediation. On the low side of the neighborhood there are still houses that were dried fast after Katrina and closed up, and a room that has never smelled right since is worth a call.
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.
Damp smell through the floor in Old Metairie? Call.
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.
