Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Metairie
Every Metairie home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire greater New Orleans service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
- 24/7 Emergency Plumbing: Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Metairie homeowners facing burst pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, storm-season flooding, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays, with no after-hours fees.
- Plumbing Repairs: Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, with our plumbers trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
- Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting: Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection: clearing grease, roots, and the buildup found in the old cast-iron and clay lines common across the area.
- Water Heaters & Tankless: Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems and elevated or attic installations that keep equipment above flood level.
- Sewer & Water Line Repair, Replacement & Trenchless: Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options are our signature work here. As settling delta soil and aging laterals break, separate, and clog lines, trenchless spares your yard and driveway.
- Slab Leaks & Leak Detection: We also do non-destructive leak detection and slab leak repair. Soil movement makes slab leaks common on the area's slab-foundation homes, and we pinpoint them before we cut into anything.
- Piping, Repiping & Lead Service Lines: Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized water lines and failing cast-iron drains, plus service line and lead-era line replacement in historic homes, a focus of current federal lead-pipe rules.
- Flood & Backup Protection: Sump pumps, backwater valves, and drainage solutions to stop the sewer backups and crawlspace flooding that heavy rain, a high water table, and storm season bring to low-lying and raised homes.
- Water Treatment & Filtration: Water softeners and filtration for the moderately hard Mississippi River water that serves the area, improving taste and protecting water heaters and fixtures.
- Outdoor Plumbing: Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation lines, and outdoor showers.
- Fixtures, Faucets, Toilets, Showers & Disposals: Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
- Commercial Plumbing: Commercial plumbing service for French Quarter and CBD restaurants and hospitality, Metairie and Kenner businesses, and the airport area.
The Metairie Plumbing Landscape
Metairie's water comes from the Jefferson Parish Water Department, treating Mississippi River surface water. The water is moderately hard, so softeners are available, though the bigger concerns here are structural. Much of Metairie was built in the postwar decades on slab foundations. The soft, settling delta soil makes those slabs prone to slab leaks and shifts sewer and water lines, so slab leak detection and sewer line repair are common calls.
Older Metairie homes may carry aging galvanized water lines and cast-iron drains worth repiping. The low, flat terrain combined with heavy rain makes backwater valves and drainage important against sewer backups. Metairie's many businesses, offices, and restaurants rely on commercial plumbing, and the occasional hard winter freeze can still threaten exposed pipes.
