Mold Removal quote in Kenner

Tell us what you can see or smell, roughly where in the house it is, and whether the house is raised or on a slab. Those three things narrow it more than the size of the patch does, because they point at how the water is arriving rather than where it ended up.

Six quick questions, then your details. It takes under a minute, and the answers are what a local assessor would ask first.

Question 1What are you dealing with?
Question 2Is the house raised, or on a slab?

This is the question that splits the job in this metro, and the two answers have almost nothing in common. A raised house has a vented space underneath that pulls in outside air, so the problem is usually the floor system. A slab house has its plumbing cast into the concrete, so the problem is usually a leak you cannot see reaching the bottom of the wall. Answer with whatever you know.

Question 3Where do you think the water is coming from?

Worth knowing before you answer: in this climate a wall can get wet with no leak at all. The mean dew point at the airport is 75.2F in July, which is at or above the temperature air conditioning holds a wall at, so the room's own cooled surfaces can pull water straight out of the air. If none of the leak answers fit, that is genuinely useful information and not a wasted question.

Question 4Is anything still wet?

EPA guidance gives wet material roughly 24 to 48 hours before growth starts, which is why the date matters more than anything else here. One local caution: opening the windows to dry a room out does not work here in summer, because the outside air is carrying more water than the room is.

Question 5What is your position at the property?

It changes who we talk to and what has to be put in writing. Worth knowing if you rent: a landlord's own maintenance staff are exempt from the mold remediation license under Louisiana law, so work handled in house was not done by anyone the state was holding to it.

Question 6How soon do you want someone out?
Who you are, and which building

City permit and scope questions for a Kenner removal

Kenner is an incorporated city, so the permit comes from the city rather than from Jefferson Parish, which is the opposite of Metairie and Harvey. Ask which items in the scope need one. Then look at scale. Louisiana requires a license for mold remediation where the entire cost exceeds $7,500, and it disregards any division of a contract made to stay under a licensing threshold, so a single job offered to you as two small invoices is still one job in the eyes of the law. Check any remediator on the board's free public search.

  1. Which joint is being closed, and by whom

    Removal without the repair is half a job. The scope should name the opening, the trade fixing it and the date, ahead of the cut.

  2. How high the drywall comes off

    A stated cut height, backed by meter readings above it, is what stops a crew opening more wall than the water reached.

  3. Whether the city needs to see it

    Kenner permits its own work. If framing, sheathing or a wall section is replaced, ask the contractor to name the city permit in writing.

Local Context

Stop the water, then cut: removal on Kenner ground

Removal in Kenner has an order to it: stop the water, then cut. On the lowest ground in this service area, 5.72 feet below sea level at the town's interior point, the water that feeds a wall often arrives through a joint the house has opened, and taking out moldy drywall without resealing that joint just rebuilds the conditions. The scope should say which opening is being closed, by which trade, and then list the materials coming out room by room: drywall to a stated height, insulation, baseboard, and any flooring over the slab.

Questions

Kenner removal questions about permits and split jobs

Does Kenner or Jefferson Parish issue the permit for mold work?

Kenner. It is an incorporated city with its own permit desk and its own flood rating, Class 6, so an address inside the city limit deals with the city. Neighboring Metairie and Harvey are Census designated places and go to the parish, which is why two quotes from the same contractor can name different offices.

The contractor offered to split the job into two smaller jobs. Is that allowed?

Louisiana's licensing law says that when a contract or scope is divided into parts that would avoid the need for a license, the parts are treated as one contract. So splitting a removal does not change whether a license is required; it only changes how the paperwork looks. Ask for one scope covering the whole job, and check the license on the board's public search.

Next Step

Send the Kenner scope, or photos of the damage

A person reads it and arranges a remediator who holds the license the job needs.
