Elmwood has a different feel from most of the East Bank. It started as plantation land in the French and Spanish colonial years, and the Elmwood Plantation house still stood into the 20th century before a 1978 fire destroyed it. Modern growth started when the Huey P. Long Bridge opened in 1935, linking this stretch of riverfront to the West Bank. Today Elmwood sits between Metairie, Harahan, and Jefferson, with the Mississippi River on its south edge. It’s home to the Elmwood Business Park, the Elmwood Shopping Center, the Joseph S. Yenni Building for East Bank parish offices, and shops and restaurants along Clearview Parkway. Homes and apartments fill in around that commercial space.

That mix shapes our work here. Warehouses and service buildings in the business park have big roofs, flat sections, and long sprinkler runs, so one failure can wet a lot of square footage fast. Shopping center storefronts sit on low parking lots that have flooded in heavy rain for years. Residents deal with the same rain, plus everyday plumbing leaks.

We’re PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists, owned and operated by Michael and Rozane Keppner next door in Metairie, with IICRC and Lead-Safe credentials. Michael’s insurance claims background helps on commercial or landlord losses. Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.

We handle:

  • Storm water entering storefronts from flooded parking lots
  • Roof leaks across warehouse and flex-space buildings
  • Fire sprinkler line breaks and accidental sprinkler discharges
  • Restaurant kitchen fires and grease smoke residue
  • Sewer backups in restrooms during heavy rain
  • Mold behind drywall in offices with poor airflow
  • Apartment leaks that spread from one unit to the next
  • Burst supply lines and water heater failures in homes
  • Biohazard and trauma cleanup for homes and workplaces
  • Wind-driven rain after Gulf storms and hurricanes

How Our Crew Gets From Metairie to Elmwood

Elmwood borders Metairie to the south, so it’s one of our closest service areas. We leave west Metairie with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers loaded and ready.

For most Elmwood calls, Clearview Parkway is our main route. We take it south from Veterans Memorial Boulevard or Airline Drive and cross the Earhart Expressway into Elmwood. That puts us right at the Elmwood Shopping Center and the stores and restaurants along Clearview. Jobs in the Elmwood Business Park and the warehouse streets nearby are a short turn off Clearview or the Earhart Expressway.

If you’re closer to the river, near Jefferson Highway or the Huey P. Long Bridge approach, we keep going south on Clearview to Jefferson Highway. Homes and apartments between Harahan and Jefferson are reachable from that same corridor. When I-10 or Clearview backs up at rush hour, Airline Drive and the Earhart Expressway give us other ways in.

For commercial jobs, we can usually stage trucks and equipment close to your loading dock or back entrance so your front-of-house stays clear.

During a storm, flooded intersections near Earhart and Clearview are common, so we reroute around high water instead of risking the trucks. Because we’re based in East Jefferson, restoration services Elmwood customers need come from a nearby crew, not one driving across the region. Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.

Why Elmwood Floods, Molds, and Takes Storm Damage

Elmwood sits inside the levee system, so every inch of rain that falls here has to be pumped out. Jefferson Parish’s East Bank drainage system is designed to handle about an inch of rain in the first hour and half an inch each hour after that. When a thunderstorm drops more than that, water collects in the lowest spots first, and in Elmwood that has often meant the commercial area around the Earhart Expressway and Clearview Parkway.

That problem isn’t new. Local news has reported for years on parking lots at the Elmwood Shopping Center that flood during heavy rain. In one Father’s Day storm, a shop took in about two and a half inches of water. The parish dug six retention ponds near the Earhart-Clearview intersection to hold stormwater, and officials also reported that some drainage pipes in the shopping area were undersized.

Hurricane Francine in September 2024 showed how quickly things can go wrong. Between 7 and 9 inches of rain fell across the East Bank, and at the Elmwood Pump Station, one of eight pumps wouldn’t start while another went down for about two hours. Canals overtopped across the parish, and the parish asked people to hold off on laundry and dishwashing because groundwater was seeping into sewer lines. Floodwater and sewage are Category 3, so wet porous materials usually have to come out.

Hurricanes bring wind, too. During Ida in 2021, the National Weather Service reported widespread downed trees and tens of thousands of damaged roofs in Jefferson Parish, and the whole parish lost power. Big commercial roofs and rooftop HVAC units are especially exposed.

Then there’s the humidity. In a closed office or warehouse with the power out, wet drywall can start growing mold within a couple of days.

We follow IICRC standards: we extract water, sort it by Category, dry to measured targets, and keep logs your adjuster can use. For restoration services Elmwood properties need after a storm, Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers for Elmwood business owners, property managers, and residents

Unplug electronics if it’s safe, move inventory and paperwork off the floor, and take photos and video before anything is moved. Then call us. Water coming in from a flooded lot is Category 3 because it carries oil, debris, and bacteria from outside, so carpet and the lower part of drywall usually need to come out. We’ll extract the water, clean and treat affected surfaces, and dry the space with commercial equipment. We’ll also give you photos and moisture logs for your insurer and landlord.

Accidental sprinkler discharge is often covered under commercial property policies, but every policy is different, so check with your agent. What matters right away is stopping the flow, getting the system serviced, and drying the space before mold or rust sets in. Sprinkler water usually starts clean, then picks up dirt as it runs across floors and through stock. We’ll extract it, move or protect inventory, and write up an Xactimate estimate with photos so your adjuster can see exactly what was affected.

Yes. Kitchen fires leave greasy, sticky smoke residue that regular cleaners just smear around. It also gets into hoods, ductwork, ceiling tiles, and anything porous in the dining room. We’ll start by securing the space and removing soot from surfaces, then deodorize to deal with the smell at its source. If water from firefighting soaked walls or floors, we dry that too. We document each step for your insurer so you can get through the health inspection and reopen sooner.

It usually depends on what caused the water and what’s in your lease. In many cases, the landlord’s policy covers the building itself, such as walls, floors, and fixtures, while renters insurance covers your own belongings. Report the leak to your landlord or property manager in writing right away and take photos. If you’re the owner or manager, call us and we’ll find where the water traveled, including into neighboring units, and dry everything that got wet. Clear documentation helps sort out the claims later.

Speed and airflow. Many Elmwood offices are sealed buildings with drop ceilings, carpet tiles, and drywall, which hold moisture. If the HVAC is down after a storm, humidity rises fast and mold can start in 24 to 48 hours. We’ll use moisture meters and thermal cameras to find wet materials, including above ceiling tiles, remove what can’t be dried, and run dehumidifiers until readings hit dry targets. If mold is already growing, we’ll contain the area so spores don’t spread.
