Freetown-Port Rico is a district of low-lying, pre-1950 Creole cottages near the Vermilion River drainage. In this humid climate, water from a slab leak can quickly wick up into old wood framing and plaster, requiring careful moisture extraction to protect the area's historic architectural character. The neighborhood's flat, low ground and older wood-frame construction make it prone to moisture issues. Torrential rain saturates the soil, and aging supply lines under concrete slabs can develop slow leaks that go undetected until damage appears in floors and walls. From Freetown-Port Rico, crews also cover nearby Saint Streets, Sterling Grove, La Place, Oil Center, Downtown Lafayette, McComb-Veazey. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.
