When a main water line ruptured in Bogalusa on a recent morning, the phone at Southern Underground of Louisiana rang with a plea for help. More than 400 homes in the Washington Parish city were without water, and repairs needed to be made quickly.
Within an hour, Zachary-based Southern Underground had a crew— including the company’s founders—on the way to fix the broken line and restore service.
