PuroClean Mold Remediation Services


Mold can form when materials remain wet for an extended period of time, creating the perfect environment for mold spores to grow and spread. There are many factors that can contribute to moisture intrusion, including but not limited to:

  • Construction defects: Poor construction practices, such as improper sealing or inadequate waterproofing, can lead to water infiltration and mold growth.
  • Plumbing failures: Leaks from pipes, drains, or fixtures can allow water to seep into building materials, creating a breeding ground for mold.
  • Appliance water line or drain line breaks: Breaks in water supply lines or drain lines from appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, or washing machines can lead to hidden moisture buildup that encourages mold development.
  • Improper maintenance: Lack of proper maintenance, such as neglecting to fix leaks or replace damaged roof shingles, can allow water to penetrate and cause mold.
  • Weather-related issues: Natural disasters like storms, hurricanes, or floods can bring significant moisture into a home or business, leading to mold problems.

When mold damage is discovered in your Lafayette home or business, the most critical course of action is to have it remediated as quickly as possible and ensure structural materials remaining are dried as quickly as possible.

PuroClean’s IICRC-certified technicians follow industry standards for mold remediation, using the latest technology and techniques to address mold growth and contamination effectively. Our aim is to restore your Lafayette property to its pre-loss condition, taking the following critical steps:

  1. Establish a scope of remediation and repair: We begin by conducting a thorough inspection of the affected areas to determine the extent of mold damage and develop a comprehensive remediation plan.
  2. Implement engineering controls and containment: To prevent cross-contamination and protect unaffected areas of the building, we use negative pressure systems in combination with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) air filtration devices. This containment strategy ensures that mold spores are contained within the affected area, limiting their spread.
  3. Develop a remediation protocol:
    • Removing compromised materials and contents in accordance with industry standards to ensure the safe disposal of mold-contaminated items.
    • Using HEPA air filtration devices and HEPA vacuums to purify the air and remove any remaining mold spores.
    • Cleaning all affected surfaces with specially formulated cleaning solutions, which may include EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)-registered disinfectants, followed by additional HEPA vacuuming to remove any residue.

We will provide a comprehensive estimate, including detailed photos, to your insurance agent or adjuster within 24–48 hours. Our dedication to excellence ensures that you will receive clear, ongoing communication and regular updates throughout the entire process.

Each PuroClean franchise in Lafayette is independently owned and operated, and we collaborate closely with indoor environmental professionals (IEPs) and certified laboratories to safeguard you and your family from harmful mold conditions. PuroClean’s IICRC-certified technicians are fully trained to handle mold damage with professionalism, reliability, and respect, addressing each challenge with compassion and expertise.

Most Common Reasons For Mold Removal In Your Property


Construction Defects

Construction defects compromise a property’s structural integrity and often create the ideal conditions for mold, necessitating professional mold remediation. Poor construction practices—such as inadequate sealing, improperly installed windows, insufficient ventilation, or cracks in the foundation—can lead to water infiltration. When moisture accumulates, it fosters an environment where mold can thrive, endangering both the property and its occupants.

Plumbing Failures

Plumbing failures, including leaks, blockages, or burst pipes, are common culprits behind mold growth. Water from these issues can seep into walls, floors, and other porous materials, creating a moist environment that encourages mold spores to develop into colonies. If left unaddressed, the mold will spread, causing damage that requires professional remediation. Prompt repairs are essential to prevent mold and protect your property.

Appliance Failures

Malfunctioning appliances—such as dishwashers, water heaters, ice makers, and washing machine supply lines—can cause significant water damage, often in concealed areas. Water that leaks into hidden or poorly lit spaces, like behind walls or beneath flooring, creates ideal conditions for mold growth. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial to preventing appliance-related water damage and the need for mold remediation services.

Improper Property Maintenance

Failing to properly maintain a property can lead to water intrusion and mold growth. Neglected issues such as unresolved leaks, faulty plumbing, inadequate ventilation, or poor roof drainage provide mold with the moisture it needs to proliferate. Moreover, lack of routine maintenance may result in uninsurable damage, as some insurance companies deny claims related to preventable water intrusion. Regular upkeep is key to safeguarding your property and avoiding costly mold remediation.

Other Reasons for Mold Remediation and Removal in Your Property

Roof Leaks

Roof leaks can cause water to infiltrate your property, potentially causing mold to grow in your home or business. Often, the water will seep into an attic or dark crevice of your roof, enabling mold growth. If the problem is not detected in time, mold can spread, causing structural damage. Mold damage caused by roof leaks requires immediate attention.

Weather-Related Incidents

Heavy rains, flooding, or excessive moisture caused by storms can create a breeding ground for mold. When water infiltrates homes or buildings, particularly in places where it shouldn’t linger, it sets the stage for mold spores to thrive and multiply. Even after the storm subsides, the moisture in walls, floors, and other structural elements can initiate a silent but potentially damaging mold invasion. Prompt action is necessary to remediate the mold.

Excessive Humidity

Excessive humidity is the ultimate breeding ground for mold growth. When humidity levels exceed 60% RH or higher, especially in enclosed spaces, the air becomes saturated with moisture and result in conditions that can allow mold growth. Areas like bathrooms, basements, crawlspaces, or poorly ventilated rooms are particularly susceptible. High humidity also inhibits proper drying, allowing mold to spread further.
