Expert Drain Repair in New Orleans, LA
Drain repair in New Orleans comes with challenges you won't find in most other cities. The soil here is a mix of clay, sand, and peat that shifts with moisture changes. That movement puts stress on underground pipes, causing cracks, separations, and low spots where waste collects. Many homes built before the 1960s still have cast iron or clay drain lines that have been corroding for decades. Heavy seasonal rainfall adds pressure to already-stressed systems. At Kern Construction LLC, we inspect, diagnose, and repair drain lines for homeowners across New Orleans. Our process starts with a camera inspection to find the exact problem. From there, we repair cracked sections, clear root intrusion, and fix pipe misalignment. We work on kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer laterals. If a drain is slow, backing up, or making gurgling sounds, that is a sign the pipe needs attention now, not later. Call Kern Construction LLC to schedule a drain inspection.

Drain Repair FAQ
Common questions about drain repair in New Orleans, LA.
If your drain backs up repeatedly after cleaning, you likely have a structural problem, not just a clog. Kern Construction LLC can run a camera inspection to tell you exactly what is happening inside the pipe.
Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of drain damage in New Orleans, where mature oaks and other large trees are widespread. Roots enter through small cracks and grow until they block or break the pipe.
The shifting soil in New Orleans puts stress on underground pipes, which leads to cracks and joint separations over time. Older cast iron and clay pipes are especially vulnerable because they become brittle as they age.
A slow drain in a New Orleans home often points to buildup or a pipe defect that store-bought products cannot fix. A licensed plumber can find the cause and repair it correctly the first time.
Gurgling sounds, sewage odors, water backing up into tubs or sinks, and wet spots in the yard are all warning signs. Any one of these means you should have a plumber inspect your drain line.
Yes, Kern Construction LLC works on drain systems in older New Orleans homes, including those with cast iron and clay pipes. We inspect the pipe condition first so the repair method fits the age and state of your system.
