Mold Removal in Baton Rouge, LA
You pulled the dresser away from the wall and the paint behind it is spotted black. Or the ceiling under the upstairs bathroom has a stain that keeps spreading. Or the closet has smelled like a wet box since the last storm. Call and tell us what you found — we remove mold in Baton Rouge and the Capital Region, and that is all we do.
What we do first
We look at the room, the material, and where the water came from. Moisture readings on the drywall and framing set the boundaries of the job: which sheets come out, which studs get cleaned, and how far past the visible stain the wet area actually runs. What you see may be only the surface.
We seal the work area in plastic and keep it under negative pressure so nothing travels to the rest of the house. We wear respirators and suits, and so does anyone working with us.
What we take out, and what stays
- Drywall, insulation, carpet pad, ceiling tile, and anything else porous that has been wet and moldy comes out, bagged inside the sealed area before it leaves.
- Framing, masonry, and concrete stay and get cleaned in place, then HEPA-vacuumed and wiped down.
- Nothing gets closed back up until the wood reads dry.
- Dead mold is still an allergen — the standard is removal, not killing.

The water has to stop
Mold needs moisture. If the leak that fed it is still running, the removal won’t hold, so part of every job is finding where the water came from and telling you what has to change. EPA doesn’t recommend bleach as a routine practice and says not to paint or caulk over mold; a fresh coat of paint changes the color, not the cause.
Baton Rouge notes
Early-morning humidity here averages around 88 percent, and a wall cavity that got wet on Friday won’t be dry by Monday. Slab ranches in Broadmoor and Sherwood Forest carry original bathroom plumbing; raised cottages in Mid City and the Garden District sit over damp crawl spaces. Yesterday’s leak can become today’s mold in either one.
What you get when it’s done
A written report of what we removed, from where, and why. Louisiana law requires one, and it’s what a buyer, a tenant, or an adjuster will ask for.
