Why New Orleans first?
It is the state's iconic market, with restaurants everywhere and some of the country's oldest city pipe.
Shotgun houses and historic restaurant rows are where cleaning and camera work are most common.
New Orleans and the river parishes
The French Quarter, Uptown, Mid-City and Lakeview.
Local page: New Orleans. Crews also take calls from Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Chalmette and Slidell.
Elsewhere in Louisiana
Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Shreveport run their own utilities.
Anyone in Louisiana, including those cities, can phone at any hour and describe the problem.
What causes Louisiana sewer backups?
Heavy rain, soft ground and kitchen grease. Louisiana's climate and cooking both load the lines.
Below-sea-level ground sinks a little each year, so clay joints that were tight in 1920 now sit offset, and live-oak roots follow the leaks. Add the grease from thousands of restaurant kitchens and a hot, wet summer, and drains get tested constantly. Ask about sewer backup help, commercial grease line jetting, sewer line jetting, and drain jetting. Other states are collected on the areas we serve page.
