24/7 Emergency Sewage Cleanup Services in Metairie, LA
When a downstairs drain in Metairie backs up after a Gulf downpour, that water is not rain. Restoration crews treat sewage, toilet overflow, and street-mixed floodwater as Category 3: contaminated. Do not mop it through the house. Do not hit it with a shop vac. Call.
PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialist is on Airline Drive, 24/7: (504) 799-0400. Tell us it is a backup. We handle indoor sewage cleanup: extract, dry, disinfect, document. A plumber still owns your lateral. Jefferson Parish still owns the main. We do not replace laterals or unclog Parish pumps.
Most of these houses are slab. The low points are the downstairs bath, the hall cleanout, and a floor drain. After heavy rain in Old Metairie, Fat City, or the streets off Veterans, the sanitary line cannot take what the block is putting into it. The next opening is often inside the house.
Jefferson Parish sewer is not the Sewerage & Water Board. If the whole block is surcharging, that is the Parish. If one toilet gurgles and nothing is on the floor yet, that is a plumber. If sewage is already on the slab, the pad, or the drywall, that is restoration — and it is a clock. Humidity here turns a wet hallway into a mold job in 24–48 hours.
Stay out of standing water if it is at outlets or the panel. Do not flush. Do not run the washer or downstairs showers. Photograph the hallway, the water line on the baseboard, the drain that failed, and the street if it is still flooded, before you move contents. Kids and pets off the wet floor. A towel dam at a doorway is fine. Spreading it toward dry carpet is not.
Open a claim and ask whether this is a sewage-backup endorsement, a plumbing backup, or a flood policy. Those are different. We document what we see. We do not interpret your policy.
Category 3 often means pad, baseboard, and affected drywall have to come out. Bleach on a wet baseboard is not disinfection. If the HVAC return sat in the hallway, do not run the system to “dry it out.” That is how contamination moves through the ducts.
When the structure is dry, reconstruction is a separate step — cabinets, flooring, paint.

Find answers to common questions about our services
You can check the walls and ceilings for water stains, the floors for warping and buckling, and the pipes for corrosion, leaks, missing grout, and mold. Attics and basements may have damaged flooring, mildew or mold, dampness, and odors. Also, be sure to inspect the exterior of the home for cracked roof tiles, puddles, standing water, and whether the ground is sloping away from the house.
First, if safe, shut off the utilities in your home to avoid further damage. Don’t enter your home if it has suffered structural damage. Don’t walk through floodwater if electricity hasn’t been turned off, and avoid contaminants. Next, contact a water-damage restoration company, such as PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists, as soon as possible. Don’t wait, as water can cause mold and irremediable damage to the wood, walls, and carpet. Then, depending on the extent of the damage and the recommendation of the remediation company, contact your insurance provider to start the claim process.
There are many variables that determine whether a flooded property can be saved: the amount of water, and even more important, the amount of time the water was in/around the property.
