Built Right From the Ground Up
Demolition Services in Lakeland, LA
Why Trust Our Demolition Services in Lakeland, LA?
Lakeland sits low along the False River oxbow, in the heart of the Mississippi River alluvial basin. That means soft, saturated “Mississippi mud” under almost every job site. Standard demolition crews aren’t built for this ground. We are.
C & H Construction Inc has spent years working Pointe Coupee Parish soil — soil that shifts, floods, and liquefies if you bring in the wrong equipment. We choose machinery based on ground pressure, not convenience, so your adjacent property, drainage ditches, and foundations stay intact.
Whether it’s residential concrete slab removal in Lakeland or commercial building razing near US-190, we plan every job around the water table first. Tropical downpours don’t slow us down, because we’ve already accounted for them. You get a site that’s cleared, graded, and ready to build on — without the erosion, flooding, or structural surprises that come from crews who skip the groundwork.

What Makes Our Demolition Process Different in Lakeland, LA?
We don’t cut corners on process, because Pointe Coupee’s terrain doesn’t give you a second chance.
1. Permitting & Utility Shutoffs:
Before anything moves, we handle parish-level permitting and coordinate utility shutoffs along the LA-416 and US-190 corridors.
2. Hazardous Material Abatement:
Older Lakeland structures often carry asbestos or lead paint. We isolate and remove it before demolition begins, protecting your crew and the surrounding property.
3. Mechanical Demolition & Selective Dismantling:
Heavy equipment land clearing and grading is matched to the structure — full razing where it makes sense, selective dismantling where materials need salvaging.
4. Slab & Pile Removal:
Deep concrete slab removal near a high water table takes precision. We pull foundations without destabilizing the soil beneath them.
5. Debris Hauling & Site Grading:
Every load is hauled and disposed of in line with Louisiana environmental rules, leaving you a graded, compliant, build-ready lot.
Case Studies
Chenal Outbuilding Removal: A property owner near Chenal needed a deteriorating storage structure cleared before rebuilding. High groundwater ruled out standard excavators. We used low-ground-pressure equipment, cleared the structure in two days, and left the site graded and drainage-ready — no damage to the adjacent ditch line.
Alma Plantation Commercial Razing: A commercial building near Alma Plantation, just off LA-416, required full demolition and asbestos abatement before a new build. We coordinated parish permitting, completed hazard mitigation first, then razed and hauled debris within a two-week window, meeting every Pointe Coupee Parish compliance requirement.
FAQs About Demolition Services in Lakeland, LA
How do you handle heavy machinery on wet, low-lying soil without damaging nearby property or ditches?
We use low-ground-pressure equipment and map drainage lines first, keeping adjacent property and ditches undisturbed.
What Pointe Coupee Parish permits are required before demolishing an old structure?
Typically a demolition permit, utility shutoff confirmation, and hazard clearance. We handle all paperwork for you.
Is asbestos or lead testing included before razing older Lakeland structures?
Yes. Pre-1980s structures are always tested and abated before any mechanical demolition begins.
Can you demolish near False River without affecting water quality?
Yes. We use containment measures and follow parish runoff guidelines to keep sediment out of the waterway.
Do you work in both West Baton Rouge and Pointe Coupee Parish?
Yes. We handle both parishes and know each one’s permitting differences before ground is ever broken.
