Louisiana is famed for its hot, humid climate. On the Westbank, the proximity to the Mississippi river can make mold infestations a significant concern for residents.
The sights and smells of mold damage are enough to begin a remediation process. Our goal at SERVPRO of The New Orleans Westbank is to find the source, usually a damp spot residing in cavities around the home, to make sure that the infestation is dealt with comprehensively and does not return. Using a combination of blasting techniques, cleaning and deodorization we can ensure that mold does not become a permanent problem in your residence.

Understanding Mold
Some restoration companies advertise “mold removal” and may even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy because removing all mold from a house or business is impossible; microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Here are the facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
