We remove mold in Lafayette and the Acadiana towns around it. Removal and remediation is the whole business — when you see it or smell it, there is one number to call.
Lafayette is one of the rainiest metros in the country, and the rain comes in bursts that find every weak point in a roof. Raised cottages from the 1920s and 30s in Freetown-Port Rico and the Saint Streets sit over crawl spaces that never dry. Slab ranches off Johnston Street still carry their 1960s plumbing inside the walls. The tight new subdivisions toward Youngsville, Broussard, and Milton keep the air handler in the attic over the low ground of the Vermilion basin. Then there is August 2016, when the Vermilion and the coulees put water into thousands of slab homes that had never flooded, and many were dried in a hurry. We ask about that year on the first call.
When we come out the first time, we are tracing where the water went, not only looking at the stain you called about. Moisture readings on the wall, the framing behind it, and the floor mark the real edge of the job; the stain only marks the middle. Then you get a written scope: what comes out, what gets cleaned in place, and where the water was getting in. The water has to be stopped for the removal to hold — contractors we work with handle that side, and we cover it on the call. Louisiana keeps the assessor and the remediator as separate companies; we are the remediation side, so if an assessor has already written up your house, keep the report nearby.
We serve Lafayette, Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro, Scott, Duson, Milton, and River Ranch, and the ring of towns about twenty miles out: Breaux Bridge, St. Martinville, Cade, New Iberia, Abbeville, Maurice, Crowley, Rayne, Church Point, Sunset, Grand Coteau, and Opelousas.
Louisiana requires a state mold remediation license for any job over $7,500, issued by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors. Look up any contractor — us included — 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.
The phone is answered around the clock. Say where you see it or smell it, what got wet, and when the water problem started. 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.
