Common Causes in New Orleans Homes

Sewer backups in this area tend to trace back to a recurring set of causes tied to local conditions:

  • Tree root intrusion – Especially common in older neighborhoods with mature oak and magnolia trees near sewer lines
  • Aging cast iron and clay pipe – Decades-old lines that corrode, crack, and shift over time
  • Grease and debris buildup – Accumulates gradually until it fully blocks the line
  • Heavy rain and flooding – Can overload city sewer systems during major storms, contributing to backups
  • Foreign objects – Wipes, hygiene products, and other non-flushable items caught in the line

Frequently Asked Questions

Call 504-500-4709

Stop using water in the home, including sinks, toilets, and washing machines, to prevent adding more volume to the blocked line. Avoid contact with any standing water, and call us right away so we can respond and begin diagnosing the cause.

Coverage varies by policy and often requires a specific sewer backup endorsement. Check with your insurance provider about your specific policy, and keep documentation of the repair for any claim you file.

We prioritize sewer backup calls given the health and property risk involved, with same-day response availability across Greater New Orleans. Call 504-500-4709 as soon as you notice signs of a backup.

Clearing the immediate blockage stops the emergency, but if the cause is root intrusion or a damaged pipe, the backup is likely to recur without addressing that underlying issue. Our camera inspection identifies whether a permanent repair is needed to prevent a repeat backup.
