Plumbing conditions in Louisiana
Louisiana has hot, very humid and rainy, with frequent hurricanes and tropical storms. Raised and pier homes in older areas, slab homes in newer suburbs, and soft soils that shift sewer lines.
Freezing weather is rare in Louisiana, so the main plumbing stresses are heat, water chemistry and ground movement rather than frozen pipes.
Louisiana generally has soft to moderately soft water. Scale is less of a problem, but soft, slightly acidic water can be harder on older copper pipes, which can develop pinhole leaks over time.

Cities we serve in Louisiana
Each city page covers local conditions. Towns without a page are served too.
New Orleans, LA
Orleans Parish
Much of New Orleans sits below sea level and depends on pumps, so heavy rain floods streets quickly, and many raised historic homes have old cast-iron and galvanized plumbing.
Baton Rouge, LA
East Baton Rouge Parish
Baton Rouge saw major flooding in 2016 in areas outside mapped flood zones, and its soft soils shift and crack older sewer lines.
Lafayette, LA
Lafayette Parish
Lafayette's flat terrain and heavy rains mean frequent street and yard flooding, and humid crawl spaces encourage mold.
Shreveport, LA
Caddo Parish
Shreveport's older neighborhoods have pier-and-beam homes with aging galvanized lines, and clay soils swell and shrink around foundations.
