Garbage Disposal Repair in Louisiana
Across the 44 Louisiana towns we route calls in, 62% of housing units are detached houses and 27% are in multi-unit buildings. That split decides who owns the machine under the sink, which decides who pays for it.
The quick answer
Of the housing in the 44 Louisiana towns covered here, 62% is detached, 27% sits in multi-unit buildings and 6% is manufactured. Ownership of the disposal follows that split far more reliably than the fault does.

The state does not divide evenly: 16 Louisiana towns lead on manufactured homes, 15 Louisiana towns lead on detached houses, 11 Louisiana towns lead on single-family housing, 2 Louisiana towns lead on a mix of building types. That is why the town pages below carry their own figure rather than inheriting this one.
