Living With Water in New Orleans
Much of New Orleans sits below sea level and depends on pumps to drain rainwater. When heavy storms hit faster than the system can drain, streets and homes flood. Hurricanes add wind and roof damage, as Hurricane Ida showed in 2021. Many historic homes, such as shotgun houses and raised cottages, also have older plumbing and wood framing that need careful drying.
What New Orleans Restoration Companies Typically Do
- Flood water removal: Extraction and cleanup after street flooding enters the home.
- Raised home and crawl space drying: Drying the area under elevated homes.
- Historic material care: Drying plaster, old wood floors, and trim without unnecessary removal.
- Storm roof leaks: Drying ceilings and walls after wind damage.
