Ground & Weather
Ground and weather conditions in Iberia Parish
New Iberia sits on the natural levee of Bayou Teche, with silty soil that slopes down to wetter, heavier clay away from the bayou. South toward Avery Island and Vermilion Bay, the land drops into marsh, broken by salt domes. The water table is shallow across most of the parish, which usually means good ground-rod contact, and we use materials suited to wet ground.
Summer thunderstorms build regularly over Iberia Parish and Vermilion Bay, and hurricanes have brought wind and flooding to the coastal end of the parish. Farmhouses on open cane fields, church steeples, and port buildings are the most exposed.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

FAQ
New Iberia lightning protection FAQ
Do you serve Jeanerette, Loreauville, and Delcambre?
Yes. We serve New Iberia and all of Iberia Parish. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Can you protect a cane farm or barn?
Yes. Barns, equipment sheds, bins, and farmhouses on open ground are some of the most exposed buildings in Iberia 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 at the Port of Iberia?
Yes. We plan bonding and grounding for shops, yards, tanks, and metal buildings around New Iberia, work around active operations, and follow your site safety and access requirements. See oilfield and industrial lightning protection.
Do you serve St. Martinville and the upper Teche?
Yes. We serve St. Martinville, Parks, and Breaux Bridge along the upper Teche, as well as New Iberia and Iberia Parish. Call (682) 490-2850, Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
Lightning struck my house in New Iberia. 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 Iberia Parish and can design a lightning protection system for the roof before the next storm season.
What affects the cost of lightning protection in New Iberia?
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 Iberia Parish also matter. Estimates are free and in writing.
Will lightning rods make my building more likely to be hit?
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.
Will lightning rods lower my insurance in Iberia Parish?
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.
