Sewer Line Cleaning in New Orleans
Not every sewer problem requires pipe repair.
​
Sometimes the sewer line itself is still functional but has become restricted by grease, sludge, roots, or other buildup. In these situations, professional sewer line cleaning may be able to restore proper flow without repairing or replacing the pipe.
​
ATP Plumbing & Drain can evaluate the condition of the line and determine which cleaning method is appropriate.
​
For certain stubborn or recurring problems, hydro jetting may be recommended. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove buildup from inside appropriate drain and sewer lines.

Sewer Line Repair vs. Drain Cleaning
A clogged drain doesn't automatically mean you need sewer line repair.
​
Professional drain cleaning is often appropriate when grease, hair, debris, or another obstruction is preventing wastewater from moving through an otherwise functional pipe.
​
Sewer line repair may be necessary when the pipe itself is damaged or another underlying problem cannot be adequately addressed through cleaning alone.
​
ATP can evaluate the symptoms and condition of the plumbing to determine whether you need drain cleaning, sewer line cleaning, or sewer line repair.
​
That means you get a recommendation based on the actual problem rather than automatically moving to a more extensive repair.

Commercial Trenchless Sewer Line Repair in New Orleans
For certain commercial properties, traditional sewer line repair can create significant disruption to parking areas, sidewalks, landscaping and daily business operations. Trenchless sewer line repair may provide an alternative for some sewer line problems by allowing repairs to be completed with less excavation.
​
ATP Plumbing & Drain provides trenchless sewer line repair for qualifying commercial sewer systems in New Orleans and surrounding areas. Because trenchless repair can be more expensive than traditional repair methods, it is typically better suited for commercial properties where minimizing excavation and disruption may justify the additional cost.
​
Trenchless sewer repair may be worth considering for:
​
-
Commercial buildings and facilities
-
Restaurants and retail properties
-
Office buildings
-
Multi-unit properties
-
Properties with extensive pavement or hardscaping
-
Locations where excavation could significantly disrupt business operations
​
Not every sewer line is a candidate for trenchless repair. ATP Plumbing & Drain can inspect the sewer system, identify the problem and determine whether trenchless repair or a traditional sewer repair method makes more sense for the property.
