Inspector 12: Damage Restoration & Environmental Testing in New Orleans

The most common sign is standing water in your basement or crawl space, often accompanied by a musty odor. You might also notice damp walls, warped flooring, or a sudden increase in humidity. If your sump pump is running constantly or not turning on at all, it's a red flag. Inspector 12 can assess the damage quickly and begin water extraction and drying to prevent mold.

Foundation seepage occurs when groundwater pushes through cracks in your foundation, leading to damp concrete, peeling paint, or efflorescence (white powdery deposits). Over time, this can weaken your foundation and cause wood rot. Inspector 12 uses advanced drying equipment and sealants to mitigate damage and offers environmental testing to check for mold spores.

First, turn off your HVAC system to stop the overflow. Then, remove any standing water with a wet/dry vac. You'll need professional water extraction and drying to prevent mold, especially in our humid climate. Inspector 12 can handle the restoration, including cleaning affected ducts and testing for microbial growth to ensure your indoor air quality is safe.
