For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Mid-century brick ranches and older wood-frame houses make up much of Alexandria, where the median build year is 1971 and about two-thirds of homes predate 1980. Expansive clay soil moves foundations and stresses slab plumbing, driveways, and fences as the ground cycles wet and dry. Storm season brings heavy rain, wind, and the occasional fallen limb on roofs and gutters. Pools are common and their equipment runs hard through humid summers. About 43,000 residents in one ZIP code in Rapides Parish, and just over half of homes are owner-occupied.

What that means for a call

The housing stock here leans old: the median home dates to 1971, and about 65% predate 1980. Original valves, older wiring, and drain lines that have already been repaired once are part of the local vocabulary. A pro who works these blocks will ask about the basement, the panel, and the last time the shutoff was tested.

Local watch-outs

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
  • Pool pumps and heaters work harder in a long hot season. Know the breaker and the shutoff before a problem, and keep the equipment pad clear.
  • Expansive clay moves with wet and dry cycles. Watch for new cracks in slabs, walks, and foundation edges, and keep water away from the foundation.
  • Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
