Concrete Leveling Service Areas Across Greater New Orleans
New Orleans Concrete Leveling covers New Orleans and the Greater New Orleans metro — Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. Tammany, St. Charles and St. John the Baptist Parishes. The ground under your slab changes a lot across that area, so each page below explains what's moving concrete in that community — and what leveling typically costs there.
South shore: drained marsh and backswamp
New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner and Chalmette sit largely on drained organic soils that keep compacting. The City of New Orleans measures average subsidence of about 0.2 inches a year, with some areas past 0.8 inches. Driveways, walks and patios drop away from houses built on piers or heavier slabs.
- Orleans Parish · Primary New Orleans Lakeview, Gentilly and New Orleans East sit on drained marsh that keeps settling — sidewalks, driveways and patios drop away from houses on pilings. Local details
- Jefferson Parish · Primary Metairie Named in NASA's subsidence study. 1950s–60s slabs on reclaimed marsh, now 60+ years into settling. Local details
- Jefferson Parish · Primary Kenner Lakefront reclaimed land near the airport. Newer slab-on-grade tracts with the same soft base as Metairie. Local details
- St. Bernard Parish · Primary Chalmette Along the MRGO levee corridor the City flags for fast subsidence. Post-Katrina slabs are now about 20 years old. Local details
Westbank and river parishes
Gretna's old town and the River Road towns of St. Charles Parish sit on the river's natural levee; Marrero, Harvey, Belle Chasse and the newer Destrehan and Luling subdivisions spread back onto drained ground, and LaPlace adds rebuild-era fill after two major floods.
- Jefferson Parish Gretna Westbank riverside town with older housing stock and sidewalks along historic blocks. Local details
- Jefferson Parish Marrero & Harvey Dense Westbank slab-on-grade tracts on reclaimed marsh. Local details
- Plaquemines Parish Belle Chasse Plaquemines Parish's main population center, on the West Bank just south of Gretna. Local details
- St. Charles Parish Destrehan & Luling St. Charles Parish on both banks — Destrehan and Norco east, Luling and Hahnville west. Local details
- St. John the Baptist Parish LaPlace River-parish alluvial soils and a large post-Ida rebuild stock. Local details
North Shore: firmer ground, clay and water
Slidell, Mandeville and Covington sit mostly on older Pleistocene terrace soil. Concrete moves with clay shrink-swell and drainage rather than regional sinking — except on lakeside fill such as Eden Isles.
- St. Tammany Parish · Primary Slidell North Shore ground is firmer. Failures here come from clay shrink-swell and drainage, not marsh compaction. Local details
- St. Tammany Parish Mandeville & Covington North Shore terrace soils — pool decks and patios move with clay and drainage, not subsidence. Local details
