Homes and churches on the Cajun prairie
Eunice has older homes near downtown and the Liberty Theater, brick ranches in established neighborhoods, and country homes on open prairie. Homes with nothing taller around them take more of the exposure. See residential lightning protection.
Rice farms, dryers, and crawfish operations
Rice fields and crawfish ponds surround Eunice, with rice dryers, bins, barns, and farmhouses standing tall on flat land. Those structures are planned together, with grounding for each. See farm lightning protection.
Churches and schools
Catholic churches in Eunice, Mamou, and the prairie towns are often the tallest buildings for miles. See church and steeple lightning protection.

Ground & Weather
Ground and weather conditions in St. Landry Parish
Eunice sits on the flat Cajun prairie, where silty topsoil lies over a tight clay pan that keeps water on the surface, the reason the area works so well for rice and crawfish. Wet clay usually gives ground rods good contact. We plan grounding around levees, ditches, and pond edges and use materials suited to wet ground.
The open prairie gives storms a clear path, and summer thunderstorms and spring storm lines are common. Rice dryers, grain bins, barns, and church steeples on flat land are the tallest structures for miles.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

FAQ
Eunice lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve Mamou, Basile, Iota, and Church Point?
Yes. We serve Eunice and the surrounding Cajun prairie towns in St. Landry, Acadia, and Evangeline Parishes. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect a rice dryer or grain bins?
Yes. Barns, equipment sheds, bins, and farmhouses on open ground are some of the most exposed buildings in St. Landry 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.
Do you work on church steeples?
Yes. Steeples and bell towers are often the tallest points in Eunice. We plan the tower, sanctuary, and any fellowship hall or school wing as one system, bond crosses, bells, and rooftop equipment, and route conductors carefully on brick and historic exteriors. See church and steeple lightning protection.
Do you serve Ville Platte and Evangeline Parish?
Yes. We serve Ville Platte, Mamou, Chataignier, Pine Prairie, and Turkey Creek in Evangeline Parish, along with Eunice. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Lightning struck my house in Eunice. What should I do now?
If you smell smoke or see flames, get everyone out and call 911. A strike can start a fire inside an attic or wall that smolders before it shows, so ask the Eunice fire department to check the house even if it looks fine. When everyone is safe, take photos, call your insurance agent, and have an electrician look over the wiring. After that, we can inspect the roof and plan a lightning protection system so the next strike has a safe path to ground.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in Eunice?
Every system is priced for the building, so we don't quote a flat number. The main factors are roof size and height, the number of chimneys, dormers, and ridges, the roof material, how many buildings need protection, and the soil where the ground rods go. We give a free written estimate for St. Landry Parish properties after looking at the site.
Will lightning rods make my building more likely to be hit?
No. A lightning rod does not draw lightning to a building. It gives a strike that was already going to hit the structure a planned, low-resistance path along conductors to ground, so the current is less likely to pass through framing, wiring, or plumbing.
Will lightning rods lower my insurance in St. Landry Parish?
It is worth asking your agent. Some insurers take lightning protection into account on homes, barns, and churches, but policies differ. We can give you a written description of the system we installed for your records.
