About this Service
Black mold removal in Chalmette addresses suspected Stachybotrys growth in single-family homes, older houses, and flood-damaged properties across St. Bernard Parish where storm surge exposure and low-lying coastal parish ground create frequent post-water-damage cleanup needs. Assessment maps visible patches on walls, ceilings, and inside wall cavities, then containment barriers and negative air pressure prevent spores from spreading during removal.
Flood-damaged properties often require removal of wet drywall, insulation, carpet, and ceiling tiles that have been saturated for more than 48 hours and cannot be salvaged. Poor drainage after heavy rain and moist soil around foundations mean water intrusion happens quickly, and warm, wet summers support rapid colonization.
Wall cavity drying and HEPA filtration prevent recurrence in older houses with limited ventilation. Post-cleanup surface treatment applies antifungal solution to wood framing and remaining surfaces. Quotes include scope, materials, containment setup, and timeline, with follow-up to confirm treated areas remain dry.
