Why NOLA Homes Are Especially Vulnerable
Much of Greater New Orleans sits on raised foundations, with plumbing lines running through open or lightly enclosed crawl spaces that offer no real protection from a hard freeze. Shotgun houses and older raised homes throughout the city often have supply lines in exterior walls with minimal insulation, since they were never designed with freeze protection in mind. Because hard freezes are rare here, many homeowners have never insulated these lines or learned to drip faucets during a cold snap, which leaves an entire neighborhood exposed at the same time. That’s also why, during a freeze event, plumbers across the region get flooded with calls at once, and why having a plumber you can reach quickly matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Call 504-500-4709If a single faucet or fixture has no water while others in the home work fine, and the affected line runs through an exterior wall, crawl space, or attic, a freeze is the most likely cause during a cold snap. A licensed plumber can confirm this quickly and safely.
Applying direct heat with a torch or space heater too close to a pipe can crack it or start a fire, especially with older galvanized or plastic lines. It’s safer to shut off the water to that section and call a professional who can thaw the line without causing more damage.
A burst pipe can release gallons of water per minute, and in a wall or ceiling that damage can spread fast into insulation, drywall, and flooring. Shutting off the water immediately and calling for emergency repair limits how much damage you end up with.
Yes. Foam pipe insulation and heat tape on exposed lines in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls significantly reduce freeze risk during the occasional hard freeze the region does get, and it’s a relatively low-cost way to avoid an expensive emergency repair.
