Mold Removal in Benton, LA

Mold problems we hear about from Benton

Where a Benton house sits up off the ground, a crawl space over damp soil is often where the mold starts. The tell-tale signs are a musty smell near the floor, floors that start to cup, and fuzz on the joists. That job is covered on the crawl space mold removal page.

Inside the house, the usual places are the attic under a leaking roof or a fan that blows into it, a bathroom ceiling that keeps marking up, and the air handler closet. See attic mold removal, bathroom mold removal and mold in AC units and ducts.

After heavy rain or a burst pipe, the question is how long the water sat. Inside about two days it is usually a dry-out; after that, see mold after a flood or leak.

How a Benton mold job is split under Louisiana law

State law keeps mold assessment and mold remediation apart: the same company, or companies tied to each other, cannot do both on one property. For a Benton homeowner that means an independent assessor inspects, maps the moisture and writes the report, while a different contractor carries out the removal. After the work, the independent assessor runs the clearance air test. Building permits for any repair work are a matter for the town or the parish; your contractor should check before starting. See mold inspection and testing.
