PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists
Old Jefferson is tucked away between the Earhart Expressway and the Mississippi River, and folks who live here like it that way. But a quiet street doesn’t stop a pipe from splitting under the kitchen sink or a summer storm from pushing water through a tired roof. If you need restoration services Jefferson residents can count on, we’re just across Causeway Boulevard in Metairie. Our crew handles water, fire, mold, and biohazard damage around the clock.
We provide residential and commercial property restoration services throughout Jefferson, including:
We also offer reconstruction services when your home or building needs to be put back together after the cleanup.
Locals often call it Old Jefferson, partly to keep it separate from the rest of the parish. It’s a patchwork of older communities such as Shrewsbury, Hoeyville, and Southport, plus subdivisions like Azalea Gardens, Camellia Gardens, Jefferson Heights, and Rio Vista. The area began as plantations running back from the river, and the Whitehall Plantation house still stands today. During the Civil War, Camp Parapet was built here to guard New Orleans from upriver. The four-lane Jefferson Highway opened in 1928 and brought suburban growth. Today Jefferson is home to Ochsner Medical Center and the Rosedale Library.
That mix of old and new shapes the calls we get. In older Jefferson neighborhoods, aging plumbing and tired roofs are common culprits. Raised houses can hide water under the floor, while slab homes spread it under tile. Businesses along Jefferson Highway, from medical offices near Ochsner to restaurants and shops, can’t afford to stay closed long after a loss.
We’re PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists, owned and operated by Michael and Rozane Keppner in nearby Metairie, with IICRC and Lead-Safe credentials. We work to earn that same trust on every Jefferson water, fire, and mold job. Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.

Jefferson sits right below Metairie, so we’re close. But it’s set apart by a drainage canal, railroad tracks, and the Earhart Expressway, and only a couple of public roads cross that barrier. Knowing which way to go matters.
Most of the time, we come down Causeway Boulevard. It crosses over the tracks and the Earhart and drops us onto Jefferson Highway near the middle of the community. From there we can head east toward Ochsner and the Orleans Parish line, or west toward Elmwood. Central Avenue is the other crossing, and it’s handy for homes and businesses on the western side of Jefferson.
Old roads like Labarre Road and Shrewsbury Road used to run all the way from River Road to Airline. Today they stop at the tracks, so we reach those streets from Jefferson Highway instead of coming straight down from Metairie. Homes near the river levee and River Road are just a few blocks south of the highway.
When Causeway backs up, Clearview Parkway gives us another way to Jefferson Highway from the west. During storms, we watch for flooded underpasses and blocked streets and choose a safer route.
Since our base is just a few miles away, restoration services Jefferson families need come from a nearby crew, not one coming in from across the region. Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.
Jefferson sits on low ground along the Mississippi, at about three feet above sea level. The river levee protects against high water, but every drop of rain that falls inside the levee system still has to be drained and pumped away. Jefferson Parish’s East Bank system is designed to handle about an inch of rain in the first hour and half an inch every hour after that. A storm that drops more than that will flood streets first, then low yards and homes.
We’ve seen that happen. During the May 8, 1995 flood, nearby Harahan logged 16 to 20 inches of rain in about six hours, and tens of thousands of homes across the region flooded. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the parish strengthened its pump stations and safe houses for operators. The Elmwood Pump Station, which serves a large part of East Jefferson, now has backup systems and a ten-day diesel supply. Even so, Hurricane Francine in 2024 dropped 7 to 9 inches of rain on the East Bank, outpaced the system, and led the parish to ask people to cut back on laundry and dishwashing because groundwater had seeped into sewer lines. Floodwater and sewage are Category 3, which means wet porous materials usually need to come out.
Wind is just as big a concern. When Hurricane Ida hit in 2021, the whole parish lost power and tens of thousands of homes had roof damage. Even Ochsner Medical Center reported some damage while staying open. Older roofs and large trees make wind-driven leaks common here.
Humidity rounds out the picture. Crawl spaces under raised homes trap moist air, and wet drywall can start growing mold within a day or two, especially when the power’s out after a storm.
We follow IICRC standards: remove the water, sort it by Category, dry to measured targets, and keep logs your adjuster can use. For restoration services Jefferson properties need after a storm or leak, Call Now for Fast Service at (504) 799-0400.

Honest answers for Old Jefferson homeowners, renters, and business owners
Raised homes are common in older parts of Jefferson, and water underneath can be tricky. Leaks drip onto the ground, soak insulation, and keep the joists and subfloor damp. We start by finding the source and checking moisture levels in the framing. Then we remove soaked insulation, set up dehumidifiers and air movers in the crawl space, and sometimes add a temporary vapor barrier. We keep checking readings until the wood is back to normal levels. That keeps rot and mold from taking hold under your floors.
Yes. Clinics and professional offices have special concerns, like patient privacy, sensitive equipment, records, and strict cleaning standards. After water, fire, or a biohazard incident, we’ll talk with you about which rooms can stay open, how to protect equipment and files, and what kind of disinfection the space needs. We can set up containment so dust and moisture don’t spread, and work after hours if that helps. We document everything with photos and moisture readings so your insurer and building owner can see what was done.
Floodwater from outside is Category 3, so it can carry sewage, chemicals, and bacteria. Most porous items it touches, like carpet and padding, mattresses, upholstered furniture, stuffed toys, and particleboard furniture, usually can’t be safely saved. Hard items like metal, glass, and solid wood can often be cleaned and disinfected. Before you throw anything out, take photos and make a list for your insurance company. We can help sort what’s salvageable and document everything for your claim. Call (504) 799-0400 and we’ll walk you through it.
Look for a musty smell, discolored spots, peeling paint, or allergy symptoms that get better when you leave the house. If water sat for more than a day or two, or the leak happened while the AC was off, mold is likely. You don’t always need lab testing, but you do need someone to find the moisture source. We’ll use moisture meters and thermal imaging, check behind baseboards and under sinks, and tell you what we find. If remediation is needed, we’ll contain the area and remove affected materials safely.
It depends on your policy and the condition of the roof before the storm. Some policies pay replacement cost value, while others pay actual cash value, which takes age and wear into account. Many Louisiana policies also have a separate hurricane or named-storm deductible, often a percentage of the home’s insured value. Call your agent to review coverage. Our part is stopping more damage, drying the inside, and documenting what the storm did with photos, moisture readings, and an Xactimate estimate.
