Damage Restoration | Paramount Disaster Recovery | New Orleans, LA

After a river flood in New Orleans, the first signs of water damage often include visible standing water in basements or crawlspaces, a musty odor, and swelling baseboards or floorboards. You might also notice discoloration on walls near the floor line. If you spot these, it's crucial to act quickly. First, ensure the area is safe by turning off electricity to affected rooms if standing water is present. Then, call a restoration professional like Paramount Disaster Recovery immediately. We can extract standing water, set up industrial dehumidifiers, and begin the drying process to prevent mold growth and further structural damage to your home.

Bathroom overflow damage in New Orleans is common due to older plumbing systems and high usage. Causes include clogged toilets, failed wax seals, or a burst supply line under the sink. The overflow can quickly soak through flooring and subflooring, leading to water damage in rooms below. To fix it, we first locate and stop the water source. Then, we extract all standing water, remove damaged materials like wet drywall or flooring, thoroughly dry the affected areas with air movers and dehumidifiers, and finally repair or replace the damaged structures. This prevents rot and mold growth, common issues in our humid climate.

Handling roof leak damage from a hurricane in neighborhoods like Lakeview or Gentilly requires a staged approach. First, we perform an emergency tarping of the roof to prevent additional water entry. Indoors, we set up containment to protect unaffected areas and begin water extraction from ceilings, insulation, and flooring. We then use moisture meters to track hidden damage in wall cavities and attic spaces. Our team professionally dries the structure, treats for potential mold, and coordinates with your insurance adjuster. We focus on restoring your home quickly while respecting the stress that comes after a major storm.
