Broussard is a city about 13 km south of downtown Lafayette by ZIP centroid. The state profile and the Wikipedia-based summaries place it in both Lafayette Parish and St. Martin Parish, so the parish of a particular building depends on its address. The address is the first thing the operator takes on the phone.
Water calls from Broussard are answered on the same line as the rest of the area. The operator asks where the water came from, whether the power is on and which rooms are wet, and the crew that goes out is the nearest one free. The owner is told the plan before the crew sets out.

Broussard is a city in both Lafayette Parish and St. Martin Parish. A building in the city may be in either one, and the permit office that applies is the one for the parish of its address. The owner should not assume the city name answers the question.
The crew asks for the address when the call is answered and confirms the parish for the record. Any repair that needs a permit goes to the office that covers the building.
The record rain of August 2016 at the Lafayette station, 22.89 inches over 11 and 12 August, is the reference for the scale of that event across the area. It describes one station, and it does not show the depth of water in any single building in Broussard.
The parish-wide figures, including more than 1,500 homes, businesses and other structures in the first week and nearly 2,000 homes in the later retrospective, describe Lafayette Parish. Broussard's own buildings are measured one at a time, and their readings are the record that counts.
Broussard is about 13 km south of downtown Lafayette by ZIP centroid. That is a longer drive than to the nearer city districts, and the dispatcher weighs it when it routes a free crew. The owner is told the travel when the call is answered, and the crew does not promise an arrival time.
The distance does not change the work. The crew checks the power, the source and the category, and it reads the moisture before any removal decision is made.
A home in a city can have an attached garage, a carport or a shared wall with a neighbor, and water can travel across those spaces. The crew checks the garage as its own area, and it checks the wall it shares with any attached space.
Water losses in a city building usually trace to a few causes: a supply line, a water heater, a drain, or rain at a door or a garage. The crew finds the cause on the first visit and records it.
A building that was empty for part of the event needs a little more care. Water may have stood longer than the owner knew, and the first visit checks the rooms that were closed up. Keep the doors and cabinets open once the crew is on site, because closed rooms hold moisture and slow the drying of the framing behind them.
A crew is dispatched as fast as one is available, and you approve the estimate before any work starts.
Broussard ZIP codes we cover: 70518. Type yours to confirm, or just call.
Yes. Give the street address on the phone, so the operator can confirm coverage and the parish that applies.
The office for the parish that covers your address. The crew can describe the work, and you should confirm the office and the requirement in writing. Ask the office to confirm in writing which parish applies to the address, and keep that answer with the claim file. The crew's record uses the address the operator takes at the start of the call, so the two should match.
A crew is sent as soon as one is free, and no arrival time is promised. The owner is told the plan on the phone.
No. It is explained on site and approved before any equipment is set.
Yes, if you can do it safely and the garage is not standing in deep water. Tell the crew where it was parked.
