Flood & Storm Mold Cleanup in New Orleans
Flood and storm mold cleanup addresses water intrusion from hurricanes, storm surge, and heavy rainfall across Greater New Orleans. Post-flood inspection identifies hidden moisture in wall cavities, under flooring, and behind baseboards before mold colonizes soaked drywall and insulation. Historic homes with older framing and multi-room houses require careful containment to prevent spores from spreading during removal.
Gulf Coast humidity and warm temperatures mean wet materials must be dried within 24 to 48 hours to stop mold growth. Dehumidification equipment, HEPA filtration, and removal of unsalvageable materials like soaked insulation and carpet padding are standard. Contents cleaning separates items that can be restored from those that must be discarded after flood exposure.
Post-storm remediation includes moisture mapping to confirm all affected areas are dry before repairs begin. Dry-fog treatment addresses airborne spores in spaces where water reached ceilings or HVAC systems. Final clearance testing verifies the property is safe for occupants and ready for reconstruction work.
