Fat City is the dense block of 1970s apartment buildings, condos, and converted commercial space between Veterans and West Esplanade, behind Lakeside. The buildings are flat-roofed, slab-on-grade, cooled by rooftop or closet units feeding long duct runs, and packed close together. A leak from the unit upstairs, a wall unit dripping inside the wall, a bathroom with no fan — the problems are small and close together.
We remove mold in Fat City. Call and describe what you see or smell in your Fat City building and which part of it got wet. Reach us and you’re connected right away; catch us on a job and you’ll get a scheduled callback from a number you’ll recognize.
Because the units share walls, floors, and plumbing stacks, a Fat City call often starts with water that came from somewhere else in the building. Tell us what you see, where it is, and whether it has come back before. The typical job is bathroom mold removal, and the written report settles the conversation.
Say where you see it or smell it, what got wet, and about when it started. Removal and remediation is the whole service in Fat City — we don’t do the lab or report side.

A ceiling that stays spotted over the shower, a soft wall behind the tub, a cabinet floor under the sink. The dampest room in a house that never gets a dry day, and the removal that holds once the water stops.
Metairie cooling systems run almost all year, and the smell that shows up when the air kicks on has a source. Growth at the coil, in the plenum, or in wet insulated duct — cleaned or replaced so the system stops moving it around.
Raised houses in Old Metairie, Harahan, and old Gretna sit over damp ground with a high water table. Joists and subfloor cleaned, wet insulation out, and the space set up to stay drier.
That musty room, closet, or vent smells that way for a reason. We find the growth behind the smell and remove it, instead of masking it with a spray.
Contained work area under negative pressure, wet drywall, trim, and insulation out, framing cleaned and dried before anything closes back up — and a written report of what came out.
Dark growth on drywall, ceilings, or baseboards gets removed the same careful way as any other mold. CDC says the type doesn’t change the job; the moisture behind it is what matters.
When growth runs through several rooms after a flood, a long leak, or a house that sat closed up after a storm — containment, removal, and cleaning, room by room, on one plan.
Staining on the roof deck and rafters from a roof leak, a bathroom fan venting into the attic, or an air handler sweating all summer — cleaned in place with the attic sealed off from the living space.
