Mold in Denham Springs houses

Most of Denham Springs and Walker was built after 1990 on slabs, fast and tight, and the same things happen here as in Sherwood Forest and Central: the house holds moisture in, the return plenum sweats in a mechanical closet, and water that comes in along the slab edge in a heavy rain starts mold behind the baseboard where nobody sees it. The older houses in the town centre and along the Amite are raised, with a crawl space that breathes damp air all summer. Livingston Parish also has a lot of rental houses, and a musty house between tenants is where a lot of our Denham Springs work starts.

August 2016 put water into most of Denham Springs when the Amite came up, and a lot of houses were gutted to the studs, dried for a week and closed back up. Mold in the wall cavities, under the floors and in the air handlers from that month is still turning up ten years later, usually as a smell that comes back every summer. See emergency and post-flood mold remediation.

What we do in Denham Springs

Inspection and testing with moisture mapping, thermal imaging, lab samples and a written report, $300 to $600.

Remediation: containment, removal of the material mold has grown into, framing cleaned and treated, drying and a clearance test.

Post-flood remediation for houses still carrying mold from 2016, and emergency drying after the next one.

Crawl spaces under the older raised houses, cleaned, treated and kept dry with a vapor barrier or a full encapsulation.

Bathrooms, attics, air conditioners and ducts and black mold wherever it is.

Water damage restoration: extraction and drying after a leak, a flood or a storm, with documentation for the claim.

Commercial and rental: apartments, rental houses between tenants, shops and offices along Florida Boulevard, Range Avenue and at Juban Crossing, worked around your hours.

How a job in Denham Springs goes

Inspection first. Someone comes to the house, finds the moisture with a meter and a thermal camera, looks in the attic and under the house if it has a crawl space, and takes samples where it matters. Written report and a price.

Fix the water. The quote says what has to change: a repair, a vapor barrier, a fan vented outside, a dehumidifier, a downspout that stops sending the roof onto the slab edge.

Contain and remove. The work area is sealed with the air under suction and filtered; damaged material comes out in sealed bags; framing is cleaned and treated.

Dry, clean, clear. Dried to normal, wiped down, and on a larger job an air test proves it is clean before the plastic comes down.

Paperwork. The report, photos, lab results and clearance in one packet for your records, an adjuster, a landlord or a buyer.

Denham Springs mold questions

Do you charge extra to come to Denham Springs?

No. Denham Springs, Walker, Watson and Port Vincent are inside our normal area and the prices are the same as Baton Rouge.

How much does mold removal cost in Denham Springs?

A small spot $500 to $1,500, one room $1,500 to $4,500, a crawl space $3,500 to $9,000, an attic $2,500 to $8,000. Inspection first, $300 to $600, credited against the job.

My house flooded in 2016 and still smells every summer. Is that mold?

Very often, yes. Houses that were gutted and dried in a hurry that month kept mold in the wall cavities, under the floors and in the air handler. An inspection with samples finds where it is; remediation opens only what has to be opened. See emergency and post-flood mold remediation.

Do you work on rentals?

Yes. Rental houses between tenants are a large part of our Denham Springs work. We provide the inspection report and the clearance test for the landlord's file, and we work around the turnover date.

Do you cover Walker, Watson and Port Vincent?

Yes, all of Denham Springs, Walker, Watson and Port Vincent, and Livingston and Albany on request.
