Pelican Underground LLC provides NASSCO-certified trenchless sewer repair and pipe rehabilitation services throughout New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans presents unique underground infrastructure challenges — aging cast iron sewer lines installed before 1970, one of the highest urban water tables in North America at 1–3 feet below surface, and expansive clay soils that shift seasonally. These conditions accelerate pipe corrosion and joint failure at rates higher than most U.S. cities, making trenchless rehabilitation the preferred — and often only viable — repair method without risking property subsidence from excavation.
New Orleans homeowners and businesses trust Pelican Underground for expert trenchless sewer repair that protects your property while permanently fixing damaged sewer lines. Our no-dig technology eliminates the need for destructive excavation, preserving your landscaping, driveways, and historic property features throughout Orleans Parish, Jefferson Parish, and St. Tammany Parish.
Whether you’re dealing with cracked cast iron pipes in the French Quarter, root-invaded lines in Uptown, or collapsed sewers in Metairie, our certified technicians deliver fast, lasting solutions — from vertical stack lining to full sewer rehabilitation. We specialize in CIPP lining, pipe bursting, and advanced trenchless pipe repair methods that are perfect for New Orleans’ unique challenges.

Most New Orleans residential properties built before 1970 used cast iron sewer pipe, which has a typical service life of 50–75 years under normal conditions. However, the city’s combination of high water table, salt-laden groundwater, and acidic clay soils reduces functional service life to 40–60 years for many systems. Signs of deterioration include rust-colored water backup, slow drains throughout the home, and patches of unusually green grass in the yard indicating a leaking line. Pelican Underground performs a sewer camera inspection to determine whether lining or replacement is needed before recommending any repair.

New Orleans’ historic neighborhoods — the French Quarter, Garden District, Uptown, Tremé, and Mid-City — present specific challenges for sewer repair. Underground utilities, brick foundations, and narrow access corridors make open excavation extremely disruptive and expensive. CIPP lining is ideal in these neighborhoods: it requires only small access points at existing manholes or cleanouts, leaving streets, courtyards, and building foundations undisturbed. Pelican Underground has completed CIPP lining projects in New Orleans historic districts for residential properties, commercial buildings, and property management companies.
