Our Authors & Reviewers

Every guide, service explainer, and troubleshooting article on the Pelican Underground site is written and reviewed by people who do this work in the field — not anonymous freelancers. We serve homeowners and property managers across the greater New Orleans area, where a high water table, shifting clay soil, and aging cast-iron and Orangeburg sewer lines create problems most general plumbers rarely encounter. The information we publish is meant to reflect that hands-on reality, so you can make a confident decision about your property before any work begins.

Our editorial standard is simple: if a piece of content makes a recommendation about your sewer, drain, or underground utility line, a credentialed professional has reviewed and signed off on it. Below are the contributors responsible for that work.
