Biohazard Cleanup Services in Metairie, LA

Metairie is a dense suburban community just west of New Orleans, separated from the city by the 17th Street Canal and stretching along the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline to the north. Residents know landmarks like the Lakeside Shopping Center on Veterans Memorial Boulevard, the Metairie Road corridor lined with local restaurants and shops, and the sprawling Metairie Cemetery with its elaborate above-ground tombs. The city sits in the heart of Jefferson Parish, bordered by the massive drainage canals that define the landscape of this below-sea-level community.

Local Hazard Conditions in Metairie

Metairie sits several feet below sea level and experienced catastrophic flooding during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, making flood-related biohazard contamination - including sewage intrusion, mold colonization, and chemical runoff - an ongoing concern after major storms. The area's aging housing stock from the mid-20th century postwar building boom contains significant amounts of asbestos and lead-based paint, and the high humidity accelerates mold growth following any water intrusion event.
