Satsuma is the unincorporated stretch of US 190 between Walker and Livingston, a mix of older brick ranches on big lots, newer slab subdivisions built after 2000, and acreage homes along Pete’s Highway and the roads that run south toward Colyell Creek. The creek is the story here: in 2016 the water that came through Satsuma came up from the drainage rather than down from the Amite, and houses that had never seen water got two feet of it.
We remove mold in Satsuma. Call and tell us what you see or smell and what got wet.
A wall that was cut and closed after 2016 and now has a stain returning at the same height is mold removal. A smell that shows up every time the air conditioner starts is HVAC and duct mold remediation, since almost every house here keeps the air handler in a hot attic.
Tell us where it is and whether that part of the house ever took water. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test.
Growth on a wall in Satsuma? Call and tell us where.
Growth in more than one room — a house that took water in 2016 and was closed up fast, a roof that leaked all summer, a place that sat empty with the AC off. One plan, sealed and worked room by room.
Dark streaks on the roof deck, a stained ceiling under it, a bathroom fan blowing into the attic, an air handler sweating on its platform. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the rooms below.
The ceiling above the tub, the wall behind the toilet, the floor of the vanity cabinet. Wet every day, and the removal that holds once the water is under control.
A musty smell that shows up when the air conditioner starts. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it around the house.
Raised houses and camps along the Amite, Tickfaw, and Lake Maurepas hold damp air under the floor for months. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and the space set up to dry.
The smell is coming from somewhere. We find the growth behind it and remove it, rather than masking it with a plug-in or a fresh coat of paint.
Work area sealed, air kept under negative pressure, wet drywall and insulation out, framing cleaned and dried before the wall closes. Written report at the end.
A dark patch on drywall or a ceiling gets removed the same careful way as any other color of mold. What changes the job is the water behind it, not the shade.
