New Orleans Biggest Plumbing Problems

100-Year-Old Cast Iron Drains in Historic Neighborhoods

New Orleans historic neighborhoods like the Garden District, Uptown, Mid-City, and Tremé have homes from the 1860s through 1930s with original cast iron drain systems now 90 to 160 years old. New Orleans has some of the oldest residential plumbing in the South.

High Water Table and Sewer Backup from Below-Sea-Level Location

New Orleans sits below sea level. The city's extremely high water table means drain systems are under constant hydrostatic pressure, and during heavy rain events — which are frequent in Louisiana — sewer backup through floor drains and toilets is a recurring emergency throughout the city.

Saltwater and Humidity-Accelerated Corrosion

New Orleans subtropical Gulf Coast climate with extreme humidity and periodic saltwater flooding events from storm surges accelerates corrosion on all exterior plumbing components and exposed supply lines throughout the city.

Root Intrusion from Live Oak Canopy

New Orleans famous live oak canopy sends root systems into older clay tile and cast iron sewer laterals throughout established neighborhoods. Root intrusion is a consistent cause of sewer backup across all historic New Orleans neighborhoods.
