Mold Removal & Remediation in Pascagoula, MS
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.
Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Frequently asked questions
The river stayed in its banks. Why is the slab wet?
Because the tide is in the fill. Marsh that was piled for the shipyard and the downtown still moves with the estuary. An August cell on a high tide has nowhere to go except into that pad. A calm channel is not a dry lot.
Is this the same as a Biloxi beach house?
No. Pascagoula's water is the river estuary and the shipyard canals, not an open Mississippi Sound beach. Surge here comes up the industrial channel and the marsh, and the older downtown sits in that path rather than on a dune.
A 1973 house on piers — is it above the problem?
The floor may be. The crawl and the piers are not. Salt splash and a wet fill under the house still wet the assembly from below, and August humidity never lets that crawl dry without mechanical help. Height is not the same as dry.
