LSU Area is in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana.

People in LSU Area usually notice mold in one of a few places: the bathroom, the attic, a crawl space, or a room with a history of leaks. Because basements are rare across Louisiana, with slab-on-grade and raised homes the norm, LSU Area pages on this site focus on attics, bathrooms and crawl spaces instead of basement mold. For LSU Area, the moisture story keeps coming back to attic spaces, where summer heat and roof or ceiling leaks can let moisture reach attic framing.

Signs to Check in LSU Area Homes

In LSU Area, the early signs of mold are the same ones worth knowing anywhere in East Baton Rouge Parish: visible growth, a musty smell, a damp patch, peeling paint, mold after a leak or flooding, condensation where ventilation is poor, or growth in an attic or crawl space. Any one of them in a LSU Area home in East Baton Rouge Parish is worth a call, and two or more together are a strong reason to describe what you found rather than waiting to see whether it clears up.

What the signs do not tell you on their own is the cause, and in a LSU Area property in East Baton Rouge Parish the cause decides the work. A damp patch can sit under a roof leak or a pipe leak, and a musty smell can mean growth has been sitting out of sight for weeks. That is why the visit checks the affected rooms first and then the rooms beside them and the routes moisture takes through a LSU Area house in East Baton Rouge Parish โ€” under floors, behind walls, into ceilings and attics โ€” before any work in LSU Area is planned. New arrivals to LSU Area should check sinks, toilets, the water heater and the rooms underneath them in the first weeks, since leaks โ€” and the mold that follows โ€” often show up soon after moving in.

How to Prepare for a Mold Inspection Visit in LSU Area

Preparation makes the visit to a LSU Area home quicker and more thorough. The exact list depends on the mold and the rooms involved in the LSU Area property, and it is confirmed with you before the visit. The general steps below apply to most homes in LSU Area, East Baton Rouge Parish.

  • Do not disturb mold covering a large area in the LSU Area home in East Baton Rouge Parish, and do not try to clean it yourself โ€” EPA guidance uses about 10 square feet as the line for when professional help is needed, and this site gives no removal instructions for large areas.
  • Note which rooms in the LSU Area property in East Baton Rouge Parish show mold, when you first noticed it, and whether there was a leak or flooding before it appeared. A short note of rooms and times helps the visit to the LSU Area home start in the right place.
  • Move dry belongings, rugs and furniture out of the affected rooms in the LSU Area home in East Baton Rouge Parish where you can do so safely, so the affected areas are clear for the visit.
  • Do not paint over mold or cover it up in a LSU Area home in East Baton Rouge Parish before the visit, and do not spray cleaning products on a large area โ€” covering it hides the extent of the growth.
  • If water is still coming into the LSU Area home in East Baton Rouge Parish, turn off the tap or the shut-off valve for that fixture where you can reach it safely from dry ground.
  • Keep pets and children clear of the affected areas in the LSU Area home in East Baton Rouge Parish while the visit is under way, and keep a clear path from the door to the rooms involved.

If water is still leaking in the LSU Area home and you cannot find the shut-off for that fixture, the main shut-off is usually near the water meter or where the main line enters the house โ€” knowing where it is before the visit helps, since a leak left running is what lets mold keep growing in the LSU Area home in East Baton Rouge Parish.
