Flooring in LaPlace, LA
We install and repair flooring in LaPlace, LA for homes and businesses, including industrial and warehouse floors. In LaPlace, floodwater has come in from the lake side, away from the river levee, and that shapes which floor makes sense on the ground level.

Home flooring installation and repair in LaPlace
This page is for LaPlace homeowners and business owners, including anyone rebuilding after a storm. It covers home floors and repairs, why the lake side matters, St. John the Baptist Parish's post-damage rules, and commercial and industrial floors.
Census figures put LaPlace's owner occupancy at 77.5%. Here's what we install and repair in those homes.
Floors for ground-level rooms
On a slab, FEMA accepts vinyl tile bonded with chemical-set adhesive as flood resistant. Over plywood it doesn't, because the vinyl has to come up so the plywood can dry.
Wood and laminate where it stays dry
Upstairs rooms and spaces well above grade are the place for wood looks.
Repairing water-damaged floors
Alabama Extension's flood cleanup guide says that after a ruined hardwood floor comes out, the subfloor should dry for several months before a new floor goes over it. We check moisture before we quote the replacement. See flooring repair.

Why LaPlace floors face water from the lake side
St. John the Baptist Parish uses LaPlace during Hurricane Isaac in 2012 as its model example of backwater flooding.
What Isaac showed
The town had a levee on the Mississippi River side, but water from Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain crept in from the opposite side. The Army Corps of Engineers says Isaac's surge flooded about 7,000 homes in its study area.
The West Shore Lake Pontchartrain levee
The Corps is building a 100-year risk reduction system from the Bonnet Carre Spillway to Garyville, with construction in St. John and St. Charles parishes slated for completion in early 2030. Today, it counts more than 60,000 people in the three-parish study area with little to no hurricane risk reduction.
Floors you can dry out or replace
Until then, choose ground-level floors that can be lifted and replaced in sections, or that FEMA rates as flood resistant. Our waterproof flooring page compares them.

How it works
Rebuilding after a storm: St. John Parish rules
The Parish notes that recent storms like Hurricane Ida gained strength and intensity very quickly. If you're replacing floors after one, these rules can apply.
- 01
The 50% rule
When improvements equal or exceed 50% of fair market value, the building must meet the same construction requirements as a new one.
- 02
Substantial damage
A building whose repair cost reaches 50% of its fair market value must also be raised to the Design Flood Elevation in zones AE and VE.
- 03
Floor finishes count
FEMA includes floor finishes in that repair cost, though carpet laid over finished floors may be left out.
- 04
Check before you build
The Parish asks owners to check with Planning and Zoning first, and elevation certificates for some buildings put up after 2000 are on file there.
Commercial and industrial flooring in LaPlace
We coat and install floors for warehouses, plant support buildings, shops and offices. See our warehouse flooring page.
- Epoxy on concrete Epoxy formed in place is on FEMA's acceptable list for flood exposure.
