Jefferson Parish
Water damage & mold help in Metairie, LA
Metairie sits between New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain in Jefferson Parish, mostly at or below sea level. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 flooded much of the area, and Hurricane Ida in 2021 brought destructive winds and long power outages. Heavy rain regularly floods streets faster than pumps can clear them, and humidity grows mold quickly.

Metairie homes and water damage

Hurricane damage
Katrina and Ida damaged roofs and flooded homes across Jefferson Parish.
Street flooding
Heavy rain overwhelms drainage and pumps, sending water into low homes and garages.
Humidity and mold
South Louisiana heat and humidity grow mold within a couple of days on wet materials.
Sinking soils and slab issues
Soft, subsiding soils crack slabs and the plumbing beneath them.
Power-outage problems
Long outages after storms shut off AC and sump pumps, letting humidity and water build up.
Roof damage and tarping
After hurricanes, many roofs stay tarped for weeks while waiting for repairs, and each new rain can send more water into attics and ceilings.
Older slab plumbing
1950s–1970s homes have cast-iron drains under the slab that crack as the soil settles, leaking sewage and water under floors.
