Starting a Restoration Business in Louisiana
Heat, humidity, hurricanes and floods. Louisiana needs restoration pros who do it right.
Where the work comes from
- Everyday leaks: supply lines, water heaters and AC drains in a hot, humid climate
- Heavy rain, flooding and hurricanes
- Mold that follows moisture, fast
Licensing
Louisiana licenses mold remediation through the State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC), and contractor licensing may also apply to repair work depending on the job. Check the board’s current requirements before you take on mold or rebuild work. See mold licensing by state.
Insurance and flood
Many Louisiana homes carry separate flood policies, and flood claims work differently from regular water damage claims. Document the cause of loss carefully and never promise coverage.
Be the company people trust
After storms, out-of-state crews flood in. Local companies with real relationships and honest documentation are the ones still standing years later.
