Housing stock in New Orleans
75% of roughly 194,758 housing units predate 1980, and 49% of occupied homes are rented. Age of stock matters for water losses because older assemblies dry more slowly and older supply lines fail more often — and tenure matters because who pays for remediation turns on it. Who pays →

New Orleans restoration: common questions
How many restoration firms are there in New Orleans?
We hold verified credential records for 3 firms in New Orleans. That is a count of what we could verify, not a count of every firm operating here — a firm we hold no record for is simply one we could not check.
What are New Orleans restoration firms certified in?
The credentials most often on record here are ASD (Applied Structural Drying Technician, 3 firms), WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician, 3 firms), AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician, 2 firms), CDS (Commercial Drying Specialist, 1 firm). Each was checked against IICRC's own registry rather than the firm's marketing.
Does New Orleans require a licensed mold contractor?
Louisiana requires a licence for mold remediation projects of $7,500 or more (project value, not square footage) (La. R.S. 37:2150.1(4)(a)(iv)), issued by State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) — the rule is statewide, not local. A licensed mold remediation contractor may not “perform both mold assessment and mold remediation on the same property”, nor own an interest in both the assessing and the remediating entity — La. R.S. 37:2158(A)(23)(c)–(d). Unlike Texas and Florida, Louisiana licenses no mold assessors: the duty rides on the remediation licence, which is only required where the project value reaches $7,500, so below that figure neither the licence nor the separation rule attaches.
Is older housing a factor in New Orleans?
75% of New Orleans's roughly 194,758 housing units were built before 1980, and 32% before 1940. Older stock more often carries galvanised or cast-iron supply lines, cavity constructions that dry slowly, and materials that predate modern vapour control — which is context for a water loss, not a prediction about any particular building.
