water damage restoration in Shreveport

Shreveport sits about 5.5 miles west of Bossier City, on the far side of the Red River, in Caddo Parish. Water damage calls from Shreveport are answered 24/7. A technician removes standing water, reads moisture in the walls and floors, and dries the building to those readings before any repair closes it up.

Shreveport is the Caddo Parish city on the other side of the Red River from Bossier City. The two are often named together as Shreveport-Bossier, and the June 2015 crest of 37 feet was recorded at that shared gauge. A house in Shreveport and a house in Bossier City stand on opposite sides of the same river, even though they are in different parishes.

The research behind this site lists 35 ZIP codes for Shreveport, so calls can come from almost any part of the city. The work is the same wherever the house is: remove the water, find where it went, and dry the structure. What changes is the paperwork. Insurance and permit questions for a Shreveport address go to the insurer and to the office that covers that address, which is not the Bossier Parish office.

Which side of the river is the house on, and does it change the job?

For the crew, the source of the water matters more than the side of the river. The river is the reason to ask certain questions on the phone: did the water come up through the floor, did it come in from the yard, or did it come through the roof or a pipe? Those answers decide what gets removed and which materials are tested.

A house on the Shreveport side is not automatically clear of river water. The 2015 crest was recorded at the shared Shreveport-Bossier gauge, according to local news coverage, so the crew reads the slab edges and the bottoms of the walls and not only the floor you can see.

What does the first hour on a Shreveport job look like?

The first hour is for safety and sorting. The technician checks for electrical hazards, measures the depth of the water, and moves contents out of the way. The crew asks how long the water has been there, since that changes the drying plan more than almost anything else.

Then the damage is mapped with a moisture meter. The map shows where the water went, including areas that look dry on the surface. The readings are written down and shown to the homeowner, so each decision about what to keep and what to remove has a record behind it.

Can storm water and sewer water be cleaned the same way?

No. Water from a supply line or a water heater is handled differently from water that came up a drain or a sewer line, from the first minute. The crew should identify which one you have before work begins, and it should explain what that means for the contents that can be kept.

Storm rain that enters a home through a garage door, a low sill or a crawl-space vent is a third case. It can carry soil and debris, and the crew classifies each affected room separately. Ask how each room was classified and why.

What should a Shreveport homeowner keep for the insurer?

Keep a dated photograph log, the drying readings, an inventory of damaged belongings with approximate ages and any receipts, and the names of everyone who came on site. A copy of the water section of the policy helps you read what is in play before the claim is filed.

If a claim stalls or is denied, the Louisiana Department of Insurance is the complaint route. This page does not describe deadlines, limits or statutes. Ask the insurer what the policy requires and in what order, and ask for the answer in writing.

Job stories

Typical jobs in Shreveport

Typical job

A ceiling bulge after a storm in a Shreveport living room

What homeowners notice: After a storm a ceiling stain in a Shreveport living room grows over a day, and a bulge appears near the light fixture.
What we do: The room is protected and the fixture is left off. The saturated drywall is opened in a small area, the attic insulation is checked, and the wet framing is traced back to a lifted flashing near a vent.
What to expect: The roofer seals the flashing on its own visit. The ceiling is patched only after the cavity reads dry, and the drying log and photographs go to the owner for the claim file.

FAQ

Shreveport FAQs

Is Shreveport in Bossier Parish?

No. Shreveport is in Caddo Parish. Louisiana uses parishes, so the parish on your paperwork can differ from the city you name on the phone. Give the crew the full address and the ZIP so the job is recorded against the right place.

How far is Shreveport from Bossier City?

About 8.8 kilometres, or roughly 5.5 miles, to the west of Bossier City, measured between the centres of the two cities' ZIP codes. The Red River lies between them. A crew's route depends on where the job is, not on the straight-line distance.

Can a crew start on a weekend?

Calls are answered 24/7, and a crew is dispatched as soon as one is free. A day or an arrival time is not promised, because it depends on what is already in progress. Ask the person who takes your call what is being done in the meantime.

What should I do with wet furniture before the crew arrives?

Lift what you can off wet floors if that is safe, and move it to a dry room. Do not stack wet upholstery or fabric. Photograph each item before you move it and keep a list of anything that will be thrown out.

Do I need a permit for repairs in Shreveport?

That depends on the scope of the repair and on the office that covers the address. The permit rules for Shreveport and Caddo Parish have not been checked for this page. Call the office that covers the address before the walls are closed, and ask what inspection, if any, is required.
