We remove mold in Lafayette and the Acadiana towns around it — Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro, Scott, and out about twenty miles to Breaux Bridge, New Iberia, Abbeville, Crowley, and Opelousas. When you see it or smell it, there is one number to call, and the people on the other end of it do this work for a living.
The phone is answered around the clock. Say where you see it or smell it, what got wet, and when the water problem started. Give us a callback number and your ZIP code. If we’re available you’re connected while you’re on the line; if we’re working, you get a callback slot, and we tell you which number to watch for.
Louisiana keeps two trades apart on the same property: the company that assesses a mold problem cannot be the company that remediates it. We are the remediation side. We don’t test, sample, or assess, and we don’t sell those services under another name. If an assessor has already written up your house, keep the report nearby when you call — it shortens the conversation.
What we do is build containment, take out the material that can’t be saved, clean and dry what can, and hand you a written report of what came out and why. The state requires that report. It is also what a buyer, a tenant, or an adjuster will want to see.
Lafayette is one of the rainiest metros in the country, with more than 60 inches a year, and the rain here comes in bursts that find every weak point in a roof. The housing has its own pattern: raised cottages from the 1920s and 30s in Freetown-Port Rico and the Saint Streets over crawl spaces that never dry; slab ranches from the 1950s through the 70s off Johnston Street with the original plumbing inside the walls; and the newer subdivisions toward Youngsville, Broussard, and Milton, built tight, with the air handler in the attic and the low ground of the Vermilion River basin under them. Then there is August 2016, when the Vermilion and the coulees came up and put water into thousands of slab homes in Lafayette and Youngsville that had never flooded before. A lot of those houses were dried in a hurry. We ask about that year on the first call.
Louisiana requires a state mold remediation license for any job over $7,500, issued by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors after twenty-four hours of board-approved training. Look up any contractor at lacontractor.org or by calling 1-800-256-1392. Before work starts, ask for the license number, a certificate of insurance, and a written scope. That applies to us as much as anyone.
