Madisonville is the old river town on the west bank of the Tchefuncte, a mile above where the river opens into the lake. The houses near Water Street are raised and old, on piers, with the river a short walk away and in the yard during a bad spring. West along Highway 22 the town has grown fast since 2005 — Bedico Creek and the subdivisions around it are slab, tight, and new, on ground that was pine and wetland not long ago and still drains like it.
We remove mold in Madisonville. Call and tell us what you smell or see and whether the river or a pipe is the reason.
The old raised houses bring crawl space calls after the Tchefuncte comes up. The newer houses west of town bring the sealed-house kind — a musty guest room, a stain on a bathroom ceiling, a vent with a dark ring — which is mold removal or HVAC and duct mold. Either way, tell us what got wet.
Say which room, what you see or smell, and roughly when it started. We remove mold; we don’t test.
One damp room in Madisonville can be the clue. Call and describe it.
Raised cottages in Old Mandeville and older houses along the rivers sit over damp ground that never sees sun. Joists and subfloor cleaned in place, wet insulation out, the space set up to stay drier.
One closet or back bedroom that never smells right in a house that looks fine. We find the growth behind the smell and remove it instead of covering it up.
Containment, negative pressure, and the wet drywall, trim, and insulation out of the house — then the framing cleaned and dried before anything gets closed back up.
A dark patch on a ceiling, a wall, or a baseboard after a leak that ran a while. The color doesn’t change the removal; the moisture behind it is what matters.
Growth through several rooms after surge, a roof that leaked all summer, or a house that sat closed up wet. One sequenced plan, room by room, with one report at the end.
Staining on the roof deck above the air handler, a bath fan that ends in the attic, or a leak around a vent boot. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the house below.
The ceiling over the shower, the wall behind the tub, the floor around the toilet. Small rooms that stay wet, and the removal that holds once the water is handled.
Musty air the moment the system starts, or a dark ring around one supply vent. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced so it stops spreading.
