Hydro-Jetting & Drain Cleaning
Snaking a drain only punches a hole through the clog; it doesn't clean the pipe. We use hydro-jetting, which blasts high-pressure water into the line. This scours the pipe walls, removing grease, scale, and invasive tree roots. It is the most effective way to prevent recurring drain clogs.
Camera Inspection & Diagnosis
Before we dig or repair, we look. We feed a high-definition sewer camera into your cleanout to visually inspect the inside of the pipe. We look for root intrusion, bellies (sags), cracks, or offsets. This diagnostic step allows us to recommend the exact repair needed—whether it's a simple cleaning or a structural repair.
Trenchless Pipe Lining in Westwego, LA
If your sewer line is failing due to roots or cracks, you don't always need to dig it up. We use Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining. We pull a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe and inflate it. Once it cures, it forms a rock-hard, jointless pipe-within-a-pipe that is guaranteed to last for decades. This "no-dig" solution is faster, cleaner, and often more cost-effective than excavation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if my sewer line is broken? Common signs include frequent backups, gurgling toilets, wet spots in the yard, or a sewage smell outside the house.
- Will trenchless repair work for my home? In most cases, yes. However, if the pipe has completely collapsed or has a severe belly (dip), we may need to excavate that specific section to correct the grade.
- How long does trenchless replacement take? Usually 1 to 2 days, compared to a week or more for traditional excavation. It gets your plumbing back online much faster.
- Is hydro-jetting safe for old pipes?We always inspect the pipe with a camera first. If the pipe is structurally sound, jetting is safe. If it is crumbling, we will recommend replacement.
- Do you offer a warranty on the liner?Yes. Our liners typically come with a 50-year manufacturer warranty. It is a permanent solution, not a patch.

Westwego, LA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas
One story states that Westwego was so named because it was a major crossing point on the Mississippi River during the great westward movement of the late 19th century. When travelers were asked their destination, they would often reply "west we go". Another more specific tale, recounted in John Churchill Chase's Frenchmen, Desire, Good Children is that the name was the specific outcome of an 1871 meeting of a railroad board of directors in New York, where planning was undertaken to use the site as an eastern terminus ("...west we go from there"). There has been further speculation that this use of "Westwego" as a place name may have been influenced by the board members' familiarity with the name of Oswego, New York.
