Common Emergencies in Shreveport

Shreveport area water damage risk in Louisiana includes the constant threat of tropical weather from June through November, year-round high humidity that accelerates mold growth to within 24 hours of any moisture event, and aging infrastructure in many communities that experiences sewer and drainage failures during rain events. Louisiana's subsiding coastline has put more properties into FEMA Zone AE flood zones each decade. Louisiana Department of Insurance requires insurers to pay flood claims within 30 days of receipt of proof of loss — contact the LDI if your insurer is delaying.

  • Red River flooding during spring rain season
  • Severe spring thunderstorms
  • Aging galvanized pipe failures in pre-1970 homes
  • Foundation seepage from clay soil
