Services
Home Elevation
Home elevation raises structures above flood levels using pylons or heightened slabs. This protects against Louisiana's frequent flooding while improving structural integrity. Our team handles projects from minor lifts to full-story elevations, working with homeowners to maintain aesthetic appeal while meeting floodplain requirements. We coordinate with local parishes and grant programs to make elevation projects accessible.
Foundation Repair
Foundation repair addresses cracks, settling, and water damage through shoring and reinforcement. We diagnose issues through comprehensive inspections, fixing problems like uneven floors and misaligned doors. Our lifetime warranty covers future settling adjustments. Services include slab repairs, pier installation, and waterproofing to ensure long-term structural integrity in Louisiana's challenging soil conditions.
House Shoring
House shoring provides temporary or permanent support during elevation or repairs. We use steel beams and hydraulic jacks to safely lift structures. This method distributes weight evenly while addressing foundation issues. Our team specializes in shoring for both residential and commercial properties, ensuring safety during construction while maintaining structural stability throughout the process.
Grant Assistance
Grant assistance helps homeowners access flood mitigation funds through FEMA's FMA program. We guide clients through documentation requirements, including elevation certificates and contractor estimates. Our team coordinates with local parishes to submit applications and meet deadlines. This service ensures homeowners maximize available funding while navigating complex grant requirements for elevation projects.
