The pro near New Orleans.

For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Heavy air, moving ground, and old housing: a typical build date of 1960 and about three in four homes predating 1980 set the terms. Expansive clay, high humidity, and storm season all press on the same structures. Many homes sit raised on piers or foundations built for a wet climate, and that detail shapes how plumbing, insulation, and airflow behave. Roofs and gutters take the storm load, and pools need year-round care. In a city this wet, drainage is rarely a small question.

What that means for a call

With a median build year of 1960 and about 74% of homes standing before 1980, New Orleans has a lot of housing that predates modern shutoffs, wiring, and drain materials. That does not mean every repair is a system replacement, but the age of the house is worth mentioning on the call.

Local watch-outs

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
  • Pool pumps and heaters work harder in a long hot season. Know the breaker and the shutoff before a problem, and keep the equipment pad clear.
  • Expansive clay moves with wet and dry cycles. Watch for new cracks in slabs, walks, and foundation edges, and keep water away from the foundation.
  • Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
