Understanding Mold: Why Quick Action Matters
Mold growth can rapidly escalate from a minor inconvenience into a serious health hazard and property damage issue. At Rescue Restoration LLC, our certified professionals provide comprehensive mold remediation services designed to tackle mold quickly and effectively, protecting your health and property.
Common Causes of Mold Growth
Mold typically thrives in damp, warm environments. Common factors contributing to mold in New Orleans include:
- Flooding and storm damage
- Plumbing leaks and water intrusion
- High indoor humidity levels
- Poor ventilation and airflow
- Improperly dried water-damaged structures
Promptly addressing these issues can prevent further mold growth and potential property damage.

Recognizing mold early is crucial. Common signs include:
-
Persistent musty odors
-
Visible dark or discolored patches (walls, ceilings, floors)
-
Increased allergy symptoms (coughing, sneezing, skin irritation)
-

What to Do Until Help Arrives: Mold Safety Tips for New Orleans Residents
Shut Down Air Circulation
Turn off your HVAC system, ceiling fans, box fans, or any air circulation devices in your home to minimize the spread of mold spores through your property.
Limit Access
Keep pets, children, and other household members away from the mold-affected area. If possible, close doors or cabinets to contain the mold spores and reduce contamination risks.
Stop Water at Its Source
If you can safely identify the source of moisture—such as a plumbing leak, damaged roof from storm activity, or flooding—take appropriate measures to stop the water flow and prevent additional mold growth.
What NOT to Do When You Discover Mold
Don't Touch Mold
Avoid physical contact with mold to prevent exposure and cross-contamination.
Avoid Bleach and Disinfectants
Don’t spray bleach or other chemicals directly on mold. This often spreads spores rather than removing them.
Don't Circulate Air
Never blow air directly onto moldy surfaces, as this can spread spores throughout your home.
Don’t Cover It Up
Never paint or caulk over mold-infested surfaces. Mold must be fully remediated before any cosmetic repairs.
Don’t Try DIY Drying
Resist the urge to dry moldy areas with household fans or heaters—this can worsen mold growth.
