24/7 Restoration Services Harahan Property Owners Trust for Water, Fire, Mold and Biohazard Damage.
PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists
Harahan feels like a small town, and you probably know your neighbors on a first-name basis. So when the washing machine hose bursts during school pickup, or a hard rain fills the street near the Soniat Canal and creeps toward your door, you want a crew that treats your house like it’s on their own block. If you need restoration services Harahan neighbors recommend, that’s us. We handle water, fire, mold, and biohazard damage day or night.
We provide residential and commercial property restoration services throughout Harahan, including:
We also offer reconstruction services when your home needs rebuilding after the drying is done.
Harahan grew up on the old Soniat Plantation, and part of that land later served as an experimental farm run by Southern University. In 1894 the Illinois Central built a repair yard and roundhouse next to where city hall stands today, and before the Huey P. Long Bridge opened, rail cars crossed the Mississippi here by ferry to Avondale. The town incorporated in 1920 and took its name from James Theodore Harahan, the railroad’s president. The Colonial Country Club moved into the old Soniat plantation home in 1908 and closed in 2012. After World War II, new houses went up fast, and by 1960 Harahan had more than 9,000 people.
That history shows up in our work. Aging pipes, older water heaters, and original roofs are common sources of trouble on the calls we take here. Streets near the Soniat Canal know what heavy rain can do, and the apartments along Hickory Avenue can spread a leak from one unit to the next.
We’re PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists, owned and operated by Michael and Rozane Keppner just up the road in Metairie, with IICRC and Lead-Safe credentials on every Harahan job. Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.
We handle:
Harahan sits just south of Metairie, between River Ridge and Elmwood, so we’re close by when you need help. Our trucks leave west Metairie stocked with pumps, extraction tools, air movers, and dehumidifiers.
Most Harahan calls start with a run down Clearview Parkway or Airline Drive toward the river. From Airline Drive, we head south on Hickory Avenue, which carries us into the middle of town past the apartments and businesses on the north end. For homes closer to the river, we keep going to Jefferson Highway, the main east–west road through Harahan, then turn onto the side streets that lead toward the levee.
If you’re on the Elmwood side of town, Clearview Parkway gets us to Jefferson Highway quickly. Homes near the River Ridge line are often easier to reach by taking Jefferson Highway west. Streets close to the Soniat Canal and Dickory Avenue are just a few turns away from either route.
When storms flood intersections or trees block a street, we take another way instead of driving through water. Knowing the grid between Airline and Jefferson Highway helps us get there sooner.
Since we’re based right here in East Jefferson, restoration services Harahan homeowners need come from a crew a few minutes away, not one driving across the region. Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.
Harahan sits along the Mississippi River at about 10 feet above sea level, higher than much of the East Bank. Still, it’s inside the levee system, and rain that falls here has to be pumped out. The Soniat Canal is the big drainage line through town, and for a long time its water had to travel more than five miles to Lake Pontchartrain.
On May 8, 1995, that system failed. Between 16 and 20 inches of rain fell in about six hours, the Soniat Canal overflowed, and officials estimated that 50 to 60 percent of the city took on water. One couple near Generes Drive got about 4 feet inside a house that had never flooded before. That flood helped launch the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project (SELA).
Part of that work is the Pump to the River station off Dickory Avenue. Its three pumps can each pull 400 cubic feet of water per second out of the Soniat Canal and send it two miles to the Mississippi, and the station is built for severe wind. Officials say the system can handle about 9 inches of rain in 24 hours. That’s a big improvement, but storms that dump water faster can still flood streets, and sewer lines can still back up. Floodwater and sewage are Category 3, so wet carpet, padding, and lower drywall usually have to be removed.
Wind is another threat. During Hurricane Ida in 2021, the National Weather Service reported widespread roof damage and downed trees across Jefferson Parish, a parish-wide power outage, and at least a few Harahan homes with minor water from street flooding. Mature oaks and older roofs make wind-driven leaks common. In a closed house without power, mold can start on wet drywall within 24 to 48 hours.
We follow IICRC standards: remove the water, classify it by Category, dry to measured targets, and keep the logs your adjuster needs. For restoration services Harahan properties need, Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.

Plain-spoken answers for Harahan homeowners and business owners
No, but it helps a lot. The Dickory Avenue station moves water out of the Soniat Canal and into the Mississippi much faster than the old route to the lake. Officials say the system is designed for about 9 inches of rain in 24 hours. A storm that drops more than that, or drops it in a few hours, can still overwhelm street drains before water reaches the canal. Keep flood coverage in place, store valuables off the floor, and call (504) 799-0400 if water gets inside.
It’s possible, especially if the repairs were rushed. After the May 1995 flood, many homes were dried quickly and closed up. If wet framing or insulation wasn’t fully dried, you could still have hidden mold, rot, or a musty smell that never quite goes away. We’ll check with moisture meters and thermal imaging, and if needed, open small inspection holes instead of tearing out whole walls. If we find old damage, we’ll explain what’s there and what it takes to fix it.
Tell your landlord or property manager right away, in writing, and take photos of the ceiling, walls, floors, and anything damaged. Move electronics and valuables away from the leak if it’s safe. Water from an upstairs unit can run through ceiling cavities and walls before it shows up, so the wet area is often bigger than it looks. Owners and managers can call us to trace the water, dry every affected unit, and document the job. Renters insurance usually covers belongings; the building policy usually covers the structure.
Yes. Even a small stovetop fire can leave soot on cabinets and walls and a smell that gets into curtains, furniture, clothing, and the HVAC system. Air fresheners only cover it up for a little while. We’ll clean soot from hard surfaces using methods that match the type of residue, clean soft goods when they can be saved, and deodorize the house so the smell is actually gone. If firefighting water soaked anything, we’ll dry that too. We document every step for your insurance claim.
In older Harahan homes, we watch for things newer houses don’t have, such as lead-based paint, plaster walls, original hardwood floors, and older wiring. Our Lead-Safe credentials matter when we cut out damaged drywall or trim in a home built before 1978. When we can, we dry hardwood and plaster in place instead of tearing them out. We set up containment, protect the rooms that didn’t get wet, and walk you through each step before we start work.
