What Makes Lake Charles Different
Lake Charles sits in southwest Louisiana, low and close to the Gulf. In 2020, Hurricane Laura struck in August and Hurricane Delta followed in October, and together they damaged homes and roofs across the whole area. Hurricane Rita also hit hard in 2005. Tarp a damaged roof the same day, because rain through a hole in the roof causes more damage than the wind did.
Heat and humidity make mold move quickly. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so drying has to start fast. After a storm, long power outages stop air conditioning and dehumidifiers at the same time, and closed up homes can grow mold on walls and furniture. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
Heavy rain can flood low streets and homes even without a hurricane, and floodwater from outside is always contaminated. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood, so flood insurance is a separate policy worth having here. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.

Checking a License in Lake Charles
Louisiana licenses mold remediation through the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, so ask any company doing mold work for its mold remediation license and look it up with the board before you sign. Residential building and home improvement work also fall under the same board, so ask for that license or registration for the rebuild too.
Plumbing and electrical work need state licensed trades, so have a licensed electrician check anything that was under water before power goes back on. For the drying and cleanup, ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
