Plumber on the West Bank | Gretna, Marrero & Westwego | Earl’s Plumbing

Earl’s Plumbing & Heating serves the West Bank of Jefferson Parish, including Gretna, Marrero, Westwego, and Terrytown, from our Metairie shop since 1949. We handle drain and sewer cleaning, leak detection, water heaters, hydro tunneling, gas work, and 24/7 emergencies across the West Bank. Call 504-888-8888.

The West Bank has its own mix of housing, from the historic homes of old Gretna to the postwar slab neighborhoods of Marrero and Westwego. Add the area’s low elevation and high water table and you get plumbing challenges that reward a plumber who knows the parish. Earl’s has served both sides of the river for over 75 years.

West Bank Communities We Serve

We cover Gretna, Marrero, Westwego, Terrytown, Harvey, and the surrounding West Bank neighborhoods of Jefferson Parish. We cross the river regularly, so scheduling service or an emergency call on the West Bank is routine for our crews.

  • Aging cast iron and galvanized lines in older Gretna homes
  • Drainage backups and sediment intrusion tied to low elevation and the high water table

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Earl’s Plumbing serve the West Bank if you’re in Metairie?

Yes. Earl’s serves Gretna, Marrero, Westwego, Terrytown, Harvey, and the rest of the West Bank of Jefferson Parish. Our crews cross the river regularly for both scheduled work and 24/7 emergencies.

Why do West Bank homes get so many slab leaks?

Many West Bank homes sit on concrete slabs, and the area’s shifting, settling soils can crack the pipes beneath them. Earl’s uses electronic leak detection to find slab leaks precisely and can re-route or repair the line, often without breaking up the entire slab.

Do you offer emergency plumbing on the West Bank?

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing across the West Bank for burst pipes, backups, gas leaks, and other urgent issues. Call 504-888-8888 any time.
