Concrete Contractor services in Galvez
Galvez takes its name from the Spanish colonial governor, and it sits in the northeast corner of Ascension Parish between Prairieville and the Amite River. The west side is higher terrace ground with newer subdivisions. The east side drops toward Henderson Bayou and the river swamp, and parts of it took water in 2016. So the same community has two different concrete problems: seasonal clay movement on the high side, and wet, slow-draining ground on the low side. Homes range from older houses on acreage to new brick homes on filled lots. Long driveways are common, and so are slabs for metal buildings, tractors and boats. For a long drive we think about truck weight, joints and where the roadside ditch crosses. For a building slab on the low side, the floor height and the amount of fill come from the parish rules, not from guesswork.

Permits and local rules
Galvez is unincorporated, and Ascension Parish is the permit office. A parish notice on its drainage rules says finished floors must be 2 feet above the required flood level and that fill is limited and must be tested. Those rules apply to building slabs. We check them for your lot before quoting.
