Foundation Repair in New Orleans: local context
Much of New Orleans sits at or below sea level on soft, subsiding soils with a very high water table; many homes are raised on piers and basements are essentially nonexistent.
Most New Orleans homes sit on slabs or pier-and-beam foundations over soils that move with moisture. Repair work here commonly involves pressed or drilled piers, pier-and-beam re-shimming and leveling, and drainage changes around the house.
Local factors that come up in New Orleans include shrink-swell clay soils and heavy rain and poor drainage. For significant cracking or movement, many homeowners get an independent evaluation from a licensed structural engineer before choosing a repair contract. This directory does not evaluate structures.
Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Louisiana licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What is causing the movement, and how did you determine that?
- Which repair method do you recommend, and why that one?
- Will a structural engineer review the plan?
- Is the warranty transferable, and what does it cover?
- Who pulls permits?
