Concrete Contractor services in Port Allen
Cross the river to Port Allen and the ground is different from the Baton Rouge side. There is no bluff here. The city sits on Mississippi River alluvium behind the levee, and the soil a short way back from the river is heavy, sticky clay that farmers call buckshot. It shrinks and opens wide cracks in a dry spell, then swells shut when the rain comes back. Concrete on that clay moves every year. When the river runs high in spring, the water table rises with it, and low yards near the levee can stay wet with seepage. Older houses near downtown are raised on piers, with front walks and narrow drives. Newer homes toward Lobdell are slab-on-grade. For Port Allen we build thicker edges, add steel, and keep roof water and yard water from soaking the soil along one side of a slab.
