Plumbing conditions in Louisiana

Louisiana is hot and humid with very heavy rainfall and hurricane exposure. Much of the land is low-lying, so drainage and flooding drive many plumbing problems.

Homes are mostly on slabs or raised piers, and soft, shifting soils put stress on buried water and sewer lines.

Frozen pipes are rare in most of Louisiana. Heat, humidity, water quality and storms cause far more plumbing problems than cold.

Common plumbing problems in Louisiana

Slab leaks

With so many Louisiana homes on concrete slabs, water lines under the floor leak quietly. Warm spots, a running meter or a rising water bill are the usual clues.

Leak detection →

Storm-season drain and sewer backups

Tropical storms and hurricanes bring heavy rain to Louisiana, which can overwhelm drains and back up sewer lines. Clear main lines and check valves before the season helps.

Drain cleaning →

Flooding and sewer backups

Heavy rain and flooding in parts of Louisiana push water into basements and back up older sewer laterals. Backwater valves and sound laterals reduce the risk.

Sewer line repair →

Shifting clay soil

Expansive clay in parts of Louisiana swells and shrinks with moisture, cracking buried sewer lines and stressing pipes under slabs.
