Your Trusted Metairie Plumber

Big Easy Plumbing Company has been serving Metairie residents and businesses with reliable, honest plumbing services. We know the area, we know the homes, and we know how to get the job done right.

Metairie is Jefferson Parish’s largest suburb, and most of it was built during the 1950s and 60s post-war boom, from Old Metairie to Fat City to Bucktown near the lake. That means a lot of homes here are still running on original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that have already outlived their expected lifespan.

Metairie also sits low in Jefferson Parish’s drainage basin. Heavy rain puts real strain on sewer laterals, and the constant subtropical humidity keeps corrosion working on older pipe year-round. Homeowners here don’t need a generic plumber learning the neighborhood in real time. They need one who already knows that the decade a house was built in tells you what’s likely wrong with its plumbing.

That’s what Big Easy Plumbing does for Metairie and the rest of Jefferson Parish: same-day response, upfront pricing, and licensed techs who’ve already worked on the exact kind of house you’re calling about.

Local Knowledge

Common Plumbing Issues We Solve in Metairie

Metairie has its own mix of housing ages, soil, and weather exposure. Here's what we see most often and how we handle it.

Older Homes, Original Pipes

Many Metairie homes date to the 1950s and 60s post-war boom, so original galvanized or cast-iron supply and drain lines are now well past their expected lifespan.

High Water Table & Drainage

Metairie sits low in Jefferson Parish's drainage basin. Heavy rain puts real strain on sewer laterals and can push water back into slow-draining pipes.

Humidity-Driven Corrosion

Constant subtropical humidity accelerates corrosion in older galvanized pipe, which is why pinhole leaks are one of our most common Metairie calls.

Post-Katrina Rebuilds

Homes rebuilt after Katrina are now 10+ years old and starting to show wear, even with modern materials, if construction was rushed.

Questions Metairie Homeowners Ask

Metairie Plumbing FAQ

Yes. We cover all of Metairie, Jefferson Parish's largest suburb, including Old Metairie, Metairie Country Club, Fat City, Bucktown, Bonnabel, the Veterans Boulevard and Airline Drive corridors, the Causeway Boulevard area, and Lakeside. Whether you're in an original 1950s home near Old Metairie or new construction near Lakeside, our licensed techs already know what to expect from your neighborhood's plumbing before they arrive.

Yes, 24/7 emergency response is one of the reasons Metairie homeowners call us first. If a pipe bursts, a water heater fails, or you lose hot water at 2am, call the same number, 504-500-4709, day or night. A real person answers and dispatches a licensed tech right away, the same standard of service you'd get from us at 2pm or 2am.

Most Metairie calls, whether in Old Metairie, Bonnabel, or Fat City, can be scheduled same-day, and true emergencies are prioritized for immediate dispatch. We don't publish a guaranteed arrival window, because honest response times depend on where our crews are already working that day, not a marketing promise. When you call, a real person gives you an actual time window instead of a vague "sometime today."

Yes. For any job that requires a permit, including water heater installs, gas line work, and whole-home repiping, we pull the Jefferson Parish permit and schedule the inspection ourselves. That means you never have to take time off work, call the parish, or track down an inspector on your own. We handle every step of the paperwork and inspection process so all you have to do is get your plumbing fixed.

It depends on when the house was built. 1950s-60s homes usually have aging galvanized or cast-iron lines. 1970s-90s homes often have polybutylene piping. Post-Katrina rebuilds are now 10+ years old and starting to show wear. New construction uses PEX but still needs proper installation and maintenance.
