Drying a wet Belle Chasse home: decide which water it is first
Is your Belle Chasse floor or wall wet after a burst pipe, a roof leak, a storm or no event at all? The answer decides whether you dry now or assess first, so tell us what happened and when.
Tell us where it shows
We help you learn whether the water is a leak or your own air, then line up an assessor first and a separate company to remove or dry it.
Before anyone pulls the paper
Photograph the stain, wide and close
Note when it first showed and what changed
Write down what covers the wall
Have the scope on paper before work begins
Four things to tell the contractor
1. Where it shows
Which room and wall is it on, and how high up?
2. When it started
When did you first see or smell it?
3. What covers the wall
Is the wall vinyl paper, gloss paint, tile or paneling?
4. Anything dripping
Does a pipe, roof, window or AC line drip near it?

Quick answers for your Belle Chasse house
Do I dry first or assess first in Belle Chasse?
If water came in, dry first. If the wall is wet and nothing came in, assess first. Tell us which it is.
Is there a separate Belle Chasse drying rule?
None that we can point you to. Ask the parish permit office whether your repair needs a permit.
How fast should a wet Belle Chasse mobile home floor be dried?
Start at once: the EPA's window to dry wet building materials is 24 to 48 hours. Ask the company how it will reach the floor system under the rooms.

Water that came in from a pipe or a roof
Stop it first, then start the clock on drying, and write the time on your phone.
A wet floor after a storm
Note when the water arrived, and what kind it was.
A wall that is wet with no event
If nothing came in, the cause may be your own air, so assess before you dry.
A mobile home floor that stays damp
The floor system can hold water that the room above does not show.
Which water in Belle Chasse: a leak, a storm or your own air
The first decision is which water you have. The parish lists Belle Chasse Number 1 and Number 2 among its drainage pump stations. Those pumps clear the streets. They do not dry a wet floor inside your house.
When water arrived through a pipe, a roof or a storm, drying comes first, and the EPA's range for wet materials is 24 to 48 hours. When nothing came in and the wall is still wet, assess first, because your cooled air may be the cause. Tell the company which case yours is before it comes.

After the water: Belle Chasse repairs and the parish office
The parish's permit office in Belle Chasse handles residential renovation and repair permits, so ask whether your repair needs one before floors come up. In summer, keep the house closed and the air conditioner running, since the airport's July and August 6 a.m. reading is 92 percent relative humidity. If you bought recently, ask your seller about earlier water.
What to tell a Belle Chasse drying company before it arrives
Say which home you have, a mobile home or a site-built house, and which rooms are wet. Give the hour the water came in, say where it entered, and tell them if the flow has stopped. Tell the company if anything under the floor is wet, and whether the air conditioner is running.
Ask what it will remove on the first visit, what it will leave to dry in place and how it will measure the result. Ask for the plan on one page, and keep your photographs from before anything is moved. If the company wants to cut into a wall, ask what it found that made it decide so. If your wall is wet but nothing came in, say that too, and book the assessment instead.
