Homes and churches in the Rice Capital
Crowley is known as the Rice Capital of America, with historic homes and churches near downtown and Parkerson Avenue, plus newer neighborhoods along I-10. Older homes with tall roofs and chimneys need neat conductor routing. See residential lightning protection and church and steeple lightning protection.
Rice mills, dryers, and grain bins
Rice mills, dryers, elevators, and bins in Crowley and across the parish are some of the tallest structures on the prairie. They need protection and bonding planned for the metal and the height. See farm lightning protection and commercial lightning protection.
Farmhouses and crawfish ponds
Farmhouses, barns, and shops sit among rice fields and crawfish ponds across Acadia Parish, often the tallest thing around. See farm lightning protection.

Ground & Weather
Ground and weather conditions in Acadia Parish
Acadia Parish is flat coastal prairie with silty soil over a dense clay pan, which holds water for rice and crawfish. The water table is shallow much of the year. Wet clay usually gives ground rods good contact, and we plan rod placement around levees, canals, and buried irrigation lines.
Summer thunderstorms are frequent, and tropical systems often bring wind and lightning across the prairie, as Laura and Delta did in 2020. Rice dryers, grain elevators, church steeples, and farmhouses are the tallest structures here.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

FAQ
Crowley lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve Rayne, Church Point, and Iota?
Yes. We serve Crowley and all of Acadia Parish. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect a rice mill or dryer?
Yes. Barns, equipment sheds, bins, and farmhouses on open ground are some of the most exposed buildings in Acadia Parish. We look at every structure on the place, then lay out terminals, conductors, and grounding so each one is covered. See farm lightning protection and commercial lightning protection.
Do you protect older homes in town?
Yes. We protect homes in and around Crowley, from raised houses and older cottages to new two-story homes, with terminals at ridges, chimneys, and dormers, conductors routed down corners, and grounding placed for the soil on your lot. See residential lightning protection.
Do grain bins and rice dryers need lightning protection?
Tall metal bins and dryers on open prairie are often the highest points around. We bond them and give them a planned path to ground, and plan the whole farmstead together. See farm lightning protection.
Lightning struck my house in Crowley. What should I do now?
Safety first: if there is any smoke, burning smell, or fire, leave the house and call 911, and let firefighters check the attic and walls. Then document the damage with photos, report it to your insurer, and have a qualified electrician and, if needed, a roofer look at the house. When the repairs are planned, call us. We serve Acadia Parish and can design a lightning protection system for the roof before the next storm season.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Crowley?
It depends on what we are protecting. A one-story brick ranch needs far less material than a two-story raised home with several gables, and a farm with a shop, barn, and bins is a bigger job than the house alone. Roof type, building height, and ground conditions in Acadia Parish also matter. Estimates are free and in writing.
Do lightning rods attract lightning?
That is a common myth. Rods do not pull lightning out of the sky or make a strike more likely. If lightning does hit a protected building, the system carries the current over the outside of the building and safely into the ground instead of through the structure.
Does lightning protection help with insurance?
Ask your insurance agent; it varies by company and policy. Some carriers look favorably on lightning protection, especially for churches, barns, and high-value homes. We provide a written description of the finished system you can share with them.
