Terrytown is a residential community in Jefferson Parish between Gretna and Marrero. Like its west bank neighbors, it sits on low-lying geography vulnerable to flooding during major rain events and tropical storms. Terrytown also has a significant stock of slab-on-grade construction — the common building method in Southeast Louisiana that avoids basement excavation in the high water table environment.

Slab homes are particularly vulnerable to mold originating at ground level. When water enters at door thresholds, through cracks in the slab, or via failed moisture barriers under the slab, it saturates flooring and wall framing from below — often invisibly, until mold growth reveals the problem.

Slab-Home Mold Assessment in Terrytown

Mold in slab homes often hides under vinyl or laminate flooring, inside wall cavities at the base, and behind baseboards. A thorough assessment requires moisture meters, thermal imaging, and targeted invasive sampling — not just a visual walkthrough. Big Easy Mold Removal uses all three.
