24/7 emergency drain clearing and repair when you cannot wait until morning. Our crews carry everything needed to clear blockages, stop overflows, and restore drainage immediately.

Sewer Line Replacement

Full sewer lateral replacement using traditional excavation or trenchless pipe bursting. We remove old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe and install modern materials designed to last 50+ years.

Drain Cleaning

Professional drain cleaning for kitchens, bathrooms, floor drains, and main lines. We clear clogs caused by grease, hair, soap, and debris using cable machines and hydro jetting.

Industrial-strength hydro jetting for sewer mains, drain lines, and commercial plumbing. High-pressure water cuts through the toughest obstructions and leaves pipe walls clean for maximum flow.

Professional CIPP relining to rehabilitate cracked, root-damaged, and leaking sewer lines from the inside. The epoxy-saturated liner cures in place and restores structural integrity without digging.

Drain Repair

Professional drain repair for all pipe materials including PVC, cast iron, copper, and clay. We fix the problem at its source to stop leaks, prevent backups, and restore proper drainage.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged pipes without excavation. We use CIPP lining or pipe bursting to rehabilitate your sewer line while preserving your yard, driveway, and landscaping.

Sewer Cleanout

We install and service sewer cleanouts to provide direct access to your main drain line. Essential for properties without existing cleanout access, older homes, and properties with recurring issues.

Storm drain cleaning and maintenance to prevent flooding, standing water, and property damage during heavy rain. We clear debris, silt, and buildup from storm drain systems of all sizes.

Professional drain snaking using commercial-grade cable machines to break through tough clogs in sinks, tubs, showers, and main drain lines. Fast, effective, and safe for your pipes.

Clogged Drain Repair

Professional clog removal using drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting. We clear tough blockages that store-bought cleaners and home remedies cannot touch, then verify clear flow with camera inspection.

Professional sewer lateral installation with proper slope, bedding, and municipal tie-in. We handle permits, excavation, pipe laying, inspection, and site restoration from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about sewer or drain service in New Orleans? We have answers.

What causes recurring drain clogs in New Orleans homes?

Recurring clogs in New Orleans homes are usually caused by grease buildup inside drain lines, tree root intrusion into sewer pipes, pipe bellies or offsets that trap debris, or undersized plumbing. A sewer camera inspection identifies the root cause so we can fix the real problem, not just clear the symptom temporarily.

Do you handle both residential and commercial drain cleaning in New Orleans?

Yes. Our New Orleans, LA teams are equipped for drain cleaning at any scale — from residential kitchen and bathroom drains to commercial restaurant grease lines, multi-unit buildings, and industrial facilities. We carry equipment rated for pipes from 1.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in New Orleans without digging?

We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your New Orleans property without any excavation.

How much does sewer line repair cost in New Orleans, LA?

Sewer line repair costs in New Orleans typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.

How quickly can you respond to a sewer emergency in New Orleans?

We provide 24/7 emergency sewer and drain response throughout New Orleans and surrounding Louisiana communities. Our crews typically arrive on-site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. Sewer backups are health hazards that worsen quickly, so rapid response is critical to protecting your property and your family.

What is hydro jetting and when is it needed in New Orleans?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour pipe walls clean, removing grease, scale, tree roots, and mineral deposits. It is recommended for New Orleans properties with recurring clogs, heavy grease buildup, or sewer lines blocked by roots. It is the most effective way to restore full flow to your pipes.

★★★★★

"Called for a second opinion on a sewer line replacement quote from another company. They ran a camera and determined only a short section needed repair, not the whole line. Saved us thousands. Honest people."

— Catherine Murray
★★★★★

"We have used this company three times now for different drain issues. Every time the service has been prompt, professional, and priced fairly. They are our go-to for anything drain or sewer related."

— Margaret O'Brien
★★★★★

"The trenchless repair saved our front yard. We were dreading having to dig up the entire lawn but they pulled a liner through the existing pipe and it was done in one day. Could not even tell they were there."
