Bayou View is the north-side Gulfport neighborhood built around Bayou Bernard — 1950s through 70s brick ranches on slabs, big live oaks, a bayou or a canal at the end of many streets, and a boat under a lot of carports. In 2005 the surge reached it through the bayou, so the houses nearest the water took surge and the rest took wind and trees. Most of it was repaired rather than rebuilt: original slabs, original plumbing, original bathrooms behind newer finishes. The oaks keep the roofs shaded and slow to dry.
Mold in Bayou View? Call and describe what you see or smell and what got wet. If we’re on a job, you’ll get a scheduled callback from a number you’ll recognize.
The calls here are older-house calls: a bathroom ceiling that spots again a month after it was cleaned, a supply line under the kitchen sink, a wall near the floor that was closed up damp in 2006 — mold removal covers most of them. A parent’s house that sat closed for a season is a close second.
Say where it is, what got wet, and when. We remove mold; testing isn’t something we do.
Call and tell us what you found.
The work area sealed and put under negative pressure, wet drywall, trim, and insulation bagged and out of the house, framing cleaned and dried before anything gets closed back up. The job, start to finish.
A dark, slick patch on drywall or a ceiling after a leak that ran for weeks. CDC says the kind of mold doesn’t change what happens next: the wet material comes out, and the water behind it has to stop.
A house that took surge, a roof that leaked through a whole season, or a place that sat shut and damp for a year. Room-by-room containment and removal on one plan, with one written report at the end.
Black streaks on the roof deck under a lifted shingle, a bath fan blowing steam into the rafters, a duct sweating onto the insulation all summer. Cleaned in place with the attic sealed from the rooms below.
The ceiling over the shower, the drywall behind the toilet, the floor of the vanity. Small rooms that never dry out on the coast, and removal that holds once the moisture is dealt with.
Gulfport runs the air most of the year, and cold duct in a hot attic sweats. A musty blast when the unit starts is the tell. Growth at the coil, the plenum, or in wet flex duct — cleaned or replaced.
Raised houses along Beach Boulevard, on piers in Pass Christian, on pilings in Waveland — damp Gulf air moves under all of them. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and what has to change to keep it dry.
One closet, one bedroom, or the whole downstairs that smells like a wet towel after every rain. We find the material behind the smell and take it out, instead of covering it up.
