Al Bourgeois Plumbing & Heating has been serving the New Orleans area with plumbing, water heater work, and septic services, earning a 3.8-star rating across 13 reviews.

Services & Process

Al Bourgeois handles the full plumbing side of a septic system, including the interior drain lines that carry waste from the home to the tank. Water heater installation and repair is a core part of their business, which pairs well with septic work when older properties need full system updates. Septic tank pumping removes accumulated solids that build up over time, and their plumbing background means they can trace problems from the fixture all the way to the field. They're a practical single call for properties dealing with multiple related issues at once.

Service Area

Al Bourgeois Plumbing & Heating serves New Orleans and neighboring communities throughout the metro area, including areas across Jefferson and Orleans parishes. Properties near the lakefront, Mid-City, and surrounding neighborhoods with older plumbing infrastructure are well within their service range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a plumber also handle septic tank pumping, or do I need separate contractors?
Al Bourgeois covers both, which is convenient when you're not sure whether the problem is inside the house or in the septic system. Having one provider assess everything from the drain lines to the tank can save you both time and diagnostic confusion.
How does the high water table in New Orleans affect septic systems?
The shallow water table in Orleans Parish means septic tanks can be under hydrostatic pressure, which sometimes causes tanks to shift or groundwater to infiltrate the system. Regular inspections are especially important here to catch those issues before they become costly repairs.
What's included in a septic inspection for a home sale in Louisiana?
A standard pre-sale septic inspection typically involves pumping the tank, checking the inlet and outlet baffles, inspecting the drain field for signs of failure, and confirming the system meets current state requirements. Louisiana has specific rules for disclosure, so buyers and sellers both benefit from getting this done early.
How do I know if my water heater problem is connected to my plumbing system overall?
Sediment buildup in the water heater is sometimes linked to mineral-heavy supply water or corroding pipes elsewhere in the system. A plumber who looks at the full picture can tell you whether it's an isolated appliance issue or a sign of something more widespread.
What causes a septic system to back up in an urban New Orleans neighborhood?
Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes in older New Orleans neighborhoods, where large oaks and magnolias have had decades to work into clay pipes. Grease buildup from kitchen drains is another frequent culprit, especially in homes without a grease trap.
Does Al Bourgeois offer emergency septic or plumbing service?
Call (504) 486-5731 directly to ask about emergency availability, as response times and after-hours service can vary. For sewage backups specifically, acting quickly limits the damage and health risks involved.
