Concrete Contractor services in Chalmette
Nearly every house in Chalmette was flooded in 2005, and much of the housing has been rebuilt, raised or replaced since. That history shapes the concrete here. Many homes now sit several feet above the yard on piers or tall chain walls, so the work is often what connects the house to the ground: steps, landings, a parking slab under or beside the raised house, and a walk to the street. Other lots were cleared and still have the old drive and slab of a house that is gone, which may need removal before anything new is built. The soil is soft delta clay, the land is flat, and the parish is ringed by levees, so rain has to be pumped out. We set slab heights and slopes with that in mind and keep new concrete from blocking the path water takes to the street drain.

Permits and local rules
Chalmette is unincorporated, so permits come from St. Bernard Parish. The Safety and Permits Division of Community Development handles residential and commercial permits. Its public page does not spell out the rule for driveways or flatwork, so we confirm the requirement, and any flood elevation rule that affects a slab, with that division for your address.
