Call Now (833) 502-4258Humidity and mold growth
Louisiana's humid seasons make mold a common follow-on to any leak. The EPA recommends keeping indoor relative humidity below 60 percent, ideally between 30 and 50 percent, which usually takes dehumidification and good ventilation.
Mold after storms and flooding
After storms and flooding in Louisiana, mold can grow quickly on wet drywall, insulation, and carpet. The EPA advises drying materials within 24 to 48 hours and removing porous materials that cannot be dried.
Mold after flooding
Floodwater in Louisiana leaves materials soaked and contaminated. Porous materials that stayed wet are usually removed, because cleaning alone does not reliably stop mold inside them.
Crawl space mold
Crawl spaces common in Louisiana trap humid air under the house. Vapor barriers, drainage, and sometimes dehumidification are part of keeping mold from returning.
- Long-term water damage
- Leaks in walls
- Flooding
