Plumbing in New Orleans: what to know
Much of New Orleans sits below sea level and depends on pumps, so heavy rain floods streets quickly, and many raised historic homes have old cast-iron and galvanized plumbing.
Freezing weather is rare in New Orleans, so the main plumbing stresses are heat, water chemistry and ground movement rather than frozen pipes.
New Orleans generally has soft to moderately soft water. Scale is less of a problem, but soft, slightly acidic water can be harder on older copper pipes, which can develop pinhole leaks over time.
Orleans Parish and Louisiana housing: Raised and pier homes in older areas, slab homes in newer suburbs, and soft soils that shift sewer lines.
Common calls in New Orleans
- Emergency PlumbingAn emergency plumber stops active leaks, sewage backups and loss of water or hot water before they damage your home.

- Leak DetectionLeak detection locates hidden leaks in walls, floors, slabs and yard lines using meter tests, pressure testing, acoustic listening and thermal imaging, so the plumber opens only the spot that needs repair..
- Drain CleaningProfessional drain cleaning clears clogs with a drain cable (snake) or water jetting, then checks whether the clog is local to one fixture or in the main line.
- Sewer Line RepairSewer line repair starts with a camera inspection to find roots, cracks, sags or collapsed pipe.
- Water Heater ReplacementReplacing a water heater means choosing the right type and size, then installing it to current code, which often includes a new expansion tank, venting, seismic straps or a drain pan.
