Harahan sits on the natural levee of the Mississippi, some of the highest ground in Jefferson Parish and one reason it mostly stayed dry in 2005. The housing is older than most of Metairie: 1940s and 50s cottages and brick ranches along Hickory and off Jefferson Highway, some raised on piers, many on slabs poured before anyone thought about vapor barriers.

Because the ground is higher, Harahan calls are less about floods and more about slow leaks — a shower valve weeping inside a wall, a water heater in a closet, a musty smell coming up through the floor of a raised house. That last one is crawl space mold remediation. The humidity is the same as everywhere else; the ground just drains a little better.
Say where you see it or smell it, what got wet, and about when it started. Removal and remediation only — we don’t test or assess.
See it or smell it in Harahan? Call.
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.
