Expert Drain Repair in Metairie, LA

Drain repair in Metairie means more than clearing a slow sink. It means addressing the root causes that keep drains failing. Metairie sits on clay-heavy soil that shifts with moisture, putting constant pressure on underground pipes. That movement leads to cracked lines, misaligned joints, and pipe bellies that trap waste and block flow. Add Metairie's heavy annual rainfall and the warm, humid climate that drives aggressive tree root growth, and drain problems become a recurring issue for many homeowners. At DPS General Contractors LLC, we inspect the full drain system before recommending any repair. We use camera inspection to locate cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, and offset joints. From there, we repair or replace only what needs it. We serve residential and commercial properties across Metairie. Whether you have a single backed-up drain or multiple fixtures failing at once, we diagnose the problem at its source. Call DPS General Contractors LLC to schedule a drain inspection in Metairie today.

Drain Repair FAQ

Common questions about drain repair in Metairie, LA.

If your drains back up repeatedly after cleaning, you likely need a repair, not just a clearing. A camera inspection can show whether the pipe itself is cracked, sagging, or blocked by root intrusion in your Metairie home.

Yes, tree root intrusion is one of the most common drain line problems in Metairie. The warm, humid climate encourages aggressive root growth, and roots will enter even a small crack or joint gap in a drain pipe.

Metairie's clay-heavy soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, which puts constant pressure on underground pipes. That ground movement causes cracks, misaligned joints, and pipe bellies that block proper drainage.

Not always. The repair method depends on where the damage is and how severe it is. A camera inspection helps us determine whether a trenchless repair or targeted excavation is the right approach for your Metairie property.

Call a plumber if you notice slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, or water backing up when you use another fixture. These signs in a Metairie home often point to a deeper pipe problem, not a simple clog.

Yes, we repair drain lines for both residential and commercial properties in Metairie. Commercial drain systems handle higher volume, so we inspect and repair them with that load in mind.

This company responded to my water damage claim and did a great job on the damage cleanup and rebuild. The owner and all the workers were a pleasure to work with toward coordinating with my insurer and getting to completion as quick as possible. Thank you DPS!

Thank you, Roger, and DPS Contracting for all of your help recovering from the tornado that hit our home last year. We are highly satisfied customers, and will definitely recommend your company to others!

Chadd from DPS came out to my house to help me with water damage mitigation after having an AC drip pan failure while I was away for work for two months. Chadd gave fantastic advice and helped me think through the damages and what needed to be done in order to repair and restore things. Chadd and his team worked quickly and efficiently to clean up the area and set up for everything to be dried. He gave me a realistic idea of what to expect and what I needed to do. I would highly recommend DPS based off this experience and if I ever have water or storm damage again he will be my first call before I get my insurance company involved.

Extremely grateful for DPS. My home flooded and as you can imagine that is beyond stressful to deal with. Roger made my stressful situation so much better by his professionalism. He’s a great communicator, reliable, and very kind/polite. He got the job done perfectly! My home is now complete and better than ever. Thank you!

I had major water damage on the ground floor of my house and DPS did an amazing job of restoring my place as they exceeded all my expectations. They were professional and their customer service was top notch from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend DPS Contracting as they made this major repair very easy for me and my wife.
