About Clem's Plumbing Services in New orleans, LA

For New Orleans homes, prevention starts with regular maintenance. We recommend professional drain cleaning at least once a year to clear built-up debris, especially in older pipes. Avoid pouring grease or coffee grounds down sinks, and use hair catchers in showers. If clogs are recurring, it may indicate a deeper issue with your sewer line, which our team can inspect with a camera to find the root cause and provide a lasting repair.

In New Orleans, toilet backups are often a sign of sewer line issues, especially if multiple drains are slow or you notice gurgling sounds. While a simple clog is possible, our area's older infrastructure and tree roots make sewer line problems common. We perform a thorough plumbing inspection using camera technology to pinpoint the exact issue—whether it's a blockage in the toilet itself or a break in the sewer line—and then recommend the right repair, from drain cleaning to full sewer repair or replacement.

We can often repair a malfunctioning garbage disposal, especially if the issue is a jam or a worn part. However, if the unit is old and the slow drain is due to internal corrosion or repeated clogs contributing to your home's overall drainage problems, replacement might be more cost-effective. We'll assess the disposal and your connected pipes to ensure a fix that improves your kitchen's flow and doesn't exacerbate local drain clog issues.
