About this Service
Mold removal in Gretna addresses visible growth in older homes, single-family houses, and row houses on the West Bank after heavy rain, tropical storms, or plumbing leaks. Low elevation near the Mississippi River and poor drainage after storms mean water intrusion happens quickly, and many older properties have limited crawlspace access and older framing that traps moisture behind walls. Wet materials must be dried within 48 hours to prevent mold from colonizing drywall or insulation.
Inspection includes wall cavities, attics, and areas around plumbing where hidden moisture accumulates. Surface cleaning with HEPA vacuums removes mold from tile and grout. Porous materials like drywall and insulation require removal when mold has penetrated the substrate.
Containment barriers prevent spores from spreading during removal. Contents like furniture and stored items are cleaned separately when salvageable. Post-remediation verification confirms affected areas are dry and clean before reconstruction begins.
