A burst supply line can release hundreds of gallons an hour. We stop the spread, extract the water, and dry the structure — including the wall cavities and subfloor where a "small" leak quietly rots framing for months.
New Orleans plumbing is old. Many homes in the French Quarter, Marigny, and Uptown still run original galvanized or early copper lines through tight wall chases, and shifting gumbo soil stresses slab plumbing in newer construction. Rare hard freezes — like the ones that caught the city off guard in recent winters — burst exposed pipes in raised houses by the thousands in a single night.
Shut off the main water valve, then kill power to any room with standing water if you can reach the panel safely. Then call us — and take photos of everything before moving items, for your insurance file.
Yes — and it’s worse here than in colder cities because pipes in raised homes and uninsulated attics aren’t built for freezes. A single hard freeze night can burst thousands of lines across the metro area.
We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to map exactly where water has traveled, so we only open the sections of wall that actually need drying or repair.
Standing water removed fast — truck-mounted and portable extraction for any floor level.
Post-storm flood cleanup built for Gulf Coast weather — from tropical rain to full storm surge.
Category 3 contamination removed, sanitized, and verified — safe for your family again.
