Lafayette Parish has several incorporated cities and towns besides the city of Lafayette itself. Scott, Carencro and Youngsville are cities in the parish, and Broussard is a city that lies in Lafayette and St. Martin parishes. Duson is a town in Lafayette Parish that also reaches into Acadia Parish. Milton is listed as an unincorporated community.

The towns around the city share the same parish records, the same August 2016 flood history and the same kinds of water losses. What differs is the building stock on each street and the address, and the crew asks for the address so it knows which town and which permit office apply.

Call (833) 490-5225 at any hour if water has entered a home or business in one of these towns. Give the town and the address, where the water came from and whether it is still rising. A crew is sent as soon as one is free, and Lafayette Water Damage Restoration does not promise an arrival time.

Options

Types and options for lafayette parish town service

A home in a town around Lafayette

A home in Scott, Carencro, Youngsville or another town around Lafayette is handled with the same steps as a home in the city. The crew checks the subfloor, the wall base and the framing, and it sets the equipment where the readings call for it.

A home that straddles Lafayette and St. Martin parishes

Broussard lies in both Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, so the address decides which parish a building is in. The crew confirms the address before the visit, because the permit office for a repair depends on it.

A shop or office on a town's main road

A shop or office in a town around Lafayette may hold stock and equipment at floor level. The crew plans the removal around that stock, logs each item, and works with the owner on a schedule that keeps the dry parts of the business open.

A property with a garage or an outbuilding

A garage or outbuilding takes water through its door and its floor, and it often stores items that were not moved in time. The crew records the garage as its own area, dries the floor and checks the wall base where it meets the house.

Which towns around Lafayette does this service cover?

Scott, Carencro, Youngsville, Broussard and Duson are named on this page, and the other places in the area can be asked about on the phone. The crew confirms coverage from the address, and it does not rely on the town name alone.

Scott, Carencro and Youngsville are incorporated cities in Lafayette Parish. Broussard is a city in both Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, and Duson is a town that reaches into Acadia Parish. Milton is listed as an unincorporated community, and it is covered by address rather than by its municipal status.

A town name is not a precise guide to coverage. The address is, and the operator checks it when the call is answered.

Do the towns around Lafayette share the same flood history?

The August 2016 flood reached buildings across Lafayette Parish, so the flood history of that event applies to the parish as a whole. Each building's readings are its own, and the flood history does not describe any one building.

A city-parish public works estimate counted more than 1,500 homes, businesses and other structures under water in the first week of that flood. A ten-year retrospective reported nearly 2,000 homes. Those are two separate measures, and they are not added together.

For a building in one of the towns, the question is how much water reached it and where it came from. The crew answers that from the readings, not from the parish-wide figures.

How do I know which permit office to ask?

The parish or city permit office that covers the building's address decides whether a repair needs a permit. Ask the office for the address before a repair that changes the structure or the systems begins.

The town name does not always settle the question, because a building on a parish line can fall under a different office. The crew can tell you what it expects the repair to involve, but the office makes the decision.

Do not assume a permit is or is not needed. Ask the office, and keep the answer in writing.

What is different about a town compared with the city?

The steps are the same in a town as in the city. The differences are the address, the distance from the crew, the permit office and the building stock on the street, which the crew reads on arrival.

Homes in these towns can differ in age and construction, and the crew checks the wall construction on each one rather than assuming it. The records are kept in the same format, so the insurer and the owner see the same kind of file.

The owner is told the plan on the phone and on site. The crew does not promise an arrival time or a number of visits.

Our process

How our lafayette parish town service visit works

  1. Town, address and power

    The first call takes the town and the address, so the crew knows which parish and which permit office apply. The power to the flooded area is confirmed off before anyone enters standing water, and the crew checks the panel before it restores power.

  2. Source and water category

    The crew finds where the water is still coming from, and it categorizes the water. A split supply line, rain from outside and a drain backup are handled differently, and the owner is told which applies and why.

  3. Removal of standing water and wet materials

    Standing water is extracted. Wet carpet, pad, insulation and the lowest section of drywall are removed where they cannot be dried in place, and each removal is logged with a photograph.

  4. Drying to the dry reference

    Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed where the readings show moisture, and the readings are taken at the same points on every visit. The drying is finished when every layer returns to the dry reference.

  5. Final report

    The owner receives the final report with readings, photographs, logs and the visit dates. That report is the record the owner keeps for the insurer and for any repair.

Lafayette Parish

Why lafayette parish town service is different in Lafayette and Acadiana

Scott sits next to the city of Lafayette, and Youngsville is one of the five incorporated cities in Lafayette Parish. Carencro is another, and the crew routes its visits from the address rather than from the town name.

Broussard lies in both Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, and it is about 13 km south of downtown Lafayette by ZIP centroid. That distance is part of the dispatch planning, and the address decides which parish applies to the building.

Milton is listed as an unincorporated community. The crew confirms the address before it plans the visit, and it does not describe Milton beyond what the address shows.

Lafayette Parish Town Service FAQs

Do you cover Scott, Carencro and Youngsville?

Yes, those towns are named on this page. Give the address on the phone, and the operator will confirm coverage for that place.

Is Broussard covered?

Broussard is named on this page. Because it lies in both Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, the address decides which permit office applies to a repair.

Will a crew come the same day?

Crews are sent as soon as one is free, and Lafayette Water Damage Restoration does not promise a same-day or set-time visit.

Is the price different in a town than in the city?

No price is published for any area. The price depends on the building and the work, and it is explained and approved on site before any equipment is set.

Does the flood history apply to my street?

The August 2016 flood reached buildings across Lafayette Parish, but the readings in your building are what describe your loss. The crew measures your building and does not rely on the parish figures.

Who do I ask about a permit for repairs?

The parish or city permit office for your address. The crew can tell you what the repair involves, and the office decides whether a permit is needed.
