Long Beach sits between Gulfport and Pass Christian with the beach on one side and the railroad a few blocks back. The Friendship Oak rode out 2005; most of the houses on the beach side of the tracks did not. What’s there now is a mix — elevated houses on pilings along Beach Boulevard, houses put back on the original slab a block or two inland, and the older neighborhoods north of the tracks that took wind and rain but not water. The Wolf River bottom on the west stays wet after a hard week of rain.
Mold in Long Beach? 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 houses put back together fast on the old slab are the ones to watch for a dark line along the base of a wall — framing closed before it dried — which is whole-home mold remediation territory. The raised houses have open space under the floor that Gulf air moves through all summer.
Say where it is, what got wet, and how long ago. 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.
