Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Old Metairie
Every Old 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 Old 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 offer 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 Old Metairie Plumbing Landscape
Old Metairie's older and grander homes are the defining plumbing factor: many carry aging galvanized water lines, failing cast-iron drains, and lead-era service lines. That makes repiping, drain replacement, and lead service line replacement common and important under current federal lead-pipe rules. Served by Jefferson Parish's Mississippi River water, the area's concerns are structural and quality-of-finish, not hard-water treatment.
The settling delta soil shifts sewer and water lines and stresses both slab and raised foundations, making sewer line repair and slab leak detection frequent. The value of these homes also makes precise, non-destructive detection essential to protect finished living space. Proximity to the 17th Street Canal and a history of flooding make backwater valves and drainage important, and many homes are raised, putting plumbing in crawlspaces.
