Northshore Beach is the lakefront neighborhood off Highway 11 south of I-10, canal lots and a seawall facing open water toward the twin spans. It was hit as hard as anywhere in Slidell in 2005 — surge came straight off Lake Pontchartrain with nothing between it and the front doors. Most of the neighborhood is now houses on tall pilings, some rebuilt on raised slabs, with a few original 1970s houses that were gutted and put back together.

Houses on pilings have wind under them all summer and lake air condensing on every cold surface — duct, supply lines, the underside of the floor. Musty air every time the AC starts is often HVAC and duct mold remediation. In the houses rebuilt on the original slab, a stain that keeps returning at the base of a wall is mold removal — and a question about what was closed up in 2006.
Say where it is, what got wet, and how long ago. We remove mold; testing isn’t something we do.
If it keeps coming back, call.
Cold air through a hot attic makes condensation, and a musty blast every time the unit starts is the tell. Growth at the coil, plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it around.
Raised houses in Olde Towne, along Bayou Liberty, and every home lifted after Katrina have a damp space underneath. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and what has to change for it to stay dry.
One room that smells like a wet box after every rain has a reason. We find the material behind the smell, remove it, and clean the cavity — instead of masking it.
Containment, negative pressure, and the wet drywall, trim, and insulation out of the house — framing cleaned and dried before anything gets closed up again.
A dark patch on a ceiling or baseboard after a long leak gets the same removal as any other growth. CDC says the type doesn’t change the job; the water behind it is what matters.
A surge line along every wall, a roof that leaked through a whole season, or a house that sat shut and wet after Ida. Room-by-room containment and removal on one plan, one report.
Dark staining on the roof deck after a leak, a blown-off shingle, or a bath fan dumping into the attic. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the rooms below.
The ceiling over the shower, the wall behind the toilet, the floor of the vanity cabinet. Small rooms that never dry, and removal that holds once the moisture is handled.
