About Drains Plus in New Orleans, LA

Our plumbing inspection uses specialized camera equipment to visually inspect your main sewer line from the inside out. In New Orleans, where heavy rains and aging infrastructure can overwhelm systems, we proactively look for root intrusions, cracks, bellies (sags), or blockages that could lead to a catastrophic backup. Identifying these issues early allows us to perform targeted repairs like hydro-jetting or pipe relining, preventing messy and damaging sewage backups in your home.

Absolutely. Kitchen grease clogs are very common here, often building up over time from cooking oils and food waste. During a Drains Plus plumbing inspection, we don't just guess. We use drain cameras to visually confirm the location and severity of the grease buildup within your pipes. This precise diagnosis allows us to recommend the most effective solution, such as professional hydro-jetting that scours the pipe walls clean, rather than a temporary chemical fix that can damage older pipes.

Store-bought drain cleaners offer a temporary surface clear but often push the solidifying grease further down, creating a worse, more compacted clog deeper in your system. For the stubborn, layered grease clogs typical in New Orleans homes, our inspection pinpoints the exact problem. We then use professional-grade, safe methods like mechanical snaking or high-pressure water jetting to fully remove the blockage, protecting your pipes from the corrosive damage of chemicals and providing a longer-lasting solution.
