Storm Damage Restoration in New Orleans →What Damages Property in LaPlace
Ida came nine years after Isaac, which flooded thousands of LaPlace residents out of their homes in 2012. Forecasters projected a 5 to 8 foot surge on Lake Pontchartrain for Ida, and wind tore roofs off homes and businesses along Airline Highway as the water rose.
Surge water is contaminated, so drywall, insulation, and flooring come out, and the structure is cleaned and disinfected before drying. Wind and roof damage, mold during long outages, and plumbing leaks are the other common losses.
How We Handle Losses in LaPlace
LaPlace is mostly single-family subdivisions and commercial corridors between the lake and the Mississippi River. Lake surge, hurricane wind and roof damage, and mold during outages are the losses we see most.
Mold usually follows water in LaPlace homes. A slow leak inside a wall, an air conditioning drain line that backs up, or a room that stays damp through a humid season can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove the water used to put the fire out, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in LaPlace usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
