Mold Inspection in New Orleans, LA

Mold inspection in New Orleans, LA addresses one of the highest-risk housing environments in the country. Much of the city sits below sea level over a shallow water table, and a 94/100 humidity index keeps building materials damp year-round. Historic raised-pier homes with vented crawlspaces, aging plaster and lath, and soft brick masonry trap moisture and continuously feed mold growth.
