New Orleans Plumbing

Why New Orleans Homes Need Local Emergency Plumbers

01

Aging infrastructure

Cast iron from the 1900s, galvanized steel from the 50s, lead service lines still in use

02

High water tables

Sewer lines run shallower, sump pumps work harder, flooding happens faster

03

Shifting foundations

Our soil moves, causing pipe separations and joint failures

04

Post-storm damage

From Katrina to Ida, storms leave lasting plumbing damage that can surface years later

05

High humidity

Accelerates corrosion and creates conditions for mold after water damage

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see your question here? Call us, we're happy to walk through it.

Call 504-500-4709

For true emergencies (active flooding, sewage backup, gas leaks), we typically arrive within 60-90 minutes depending on your location and current call volume. We prioritize based on severity – active water damage and safety hazards come first.

We charge a standard service call fee regardless of when you call. Unlike some companies, we don’t double or triple our rates for nights, weekends, or holidays. The quote we give you is the price you pay.

If safe to do so, locate and turn off your main water shut-off valve to stop active flooding. For gas leaks, evacuate the home and call from outside. We’ll guide you through any immediate steps when you call.

Our goal is to fully resolve the problem, not just put a band-aid on it. However, some situations require temporary measures followed by permanent repairs. We’ll explain exactly what we’re doing and why.
