Mold Inspection & Remediation in Shreveport, LA

Shreveport Regional Airport averages about 51 inches of precipitation a year under NOAA's 1991–2020 normals, with April and December the wettest months and late summer the driest. Even in the drier stretch, the air stays humid, so a damp wall or floor dries slowly.

About 65% of Shreveport's homes were built before 1980, according to the Census Bureau. Older neighborhoods such as Highland, South Highlands, Fairfield, and Broadmoor have early 20th-century houses on pier-and-beam foundations, where humid air under the floor condenses on joists and ducts, while mid-century homes across the city sit on slabs that wet from below when plumbing leaks. The Red River and the bayous that drain the city can flood low-lying streets in heavy rain.

Most Shreveport mold jobs start the same way: something got wet and stayed wet past the day or two the EPA gives for drying.

Shreveport ranges are national, from Angi and HomeGuide. Jobs over $7,500, which flood jobs often reach, require an LSLBC-licensed mold remediator, and pier-and-beam repairs under the floor are priced separately. See the remediation cost guide.

In Shreveport, any mold remediation job worth more than $7,500 has to be done by a company holding the LSLBC's Mold Remediation classification, backed by 24 hours of board-approved training and, from August 1, 2026, $500,000 in liability insurance. The board's online search shows it. State law also requires a different company to do the assessment than the one that does the cleanup. See the Louisiana page.

Rising water from the Red River or a flooded bayou is flood damage, so it needs a flood policy. A roof opened by a storm or a supply line that suddenly breaks usually falls under the homeowners policy, though mold payouts are often capped. Mold that grew slowly under a pier-and-beam house is often excluded as gradual. Caddo Parish owners can file a complaint with the state Department of Insurance if a claim goes nowhere.
