Abita Springs is away from the lake, so storm surge is not the main threat. Flooding here usually comes from heavy rain that pushes the Abita River and local drainage over their banks. Homes on low ground near the river are the ones most often raised.
Leveling is common here
Many Abita Springs homes are older pier-and-beam houses on clay soil. Over time, piers settle and floors slope. House leveling and foundation repair are often all that’s needed.
When raising makes sense
If your home has taken water or sits below the Base Flood Elevation, raising the house is the lasting fix. Request a free estimate below and describe whether you’re dealing with flooding, settling, or both.
