• Sewer backups and overflowing toilets
• Emergency shutoff valve repair and replacement

Drain Cleaning

Lafayette's mix of historic homes in the Freetown-Port Rico district, Acadian-style architecture, and newer developments creates unique drain challenges. Our techs use hydro-jetting and camera inspection to clear blockages from grease, tree roots, and sediment.

Common Lafayette Drain Issues

• Tree root intrusion in clay sewer lines (older neighborhoods)
• Grease accumulation in kitchen drains (restaurant-heavy areas)
• Storm debris backups during hurricane season

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water is an emergency any time of year in Lafayette. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters across Lafayette Parish. The hard water here shortens water heater life — annual flushing is recommended.

Water Heater Services

• Pilot light and thermocouple repair
• Tankless water heater descaling
• Same-day replacement for failed units
• Expansion tank installation per Louisiana code

Leak Detection

Lafayette's humid climate and low-lying terrain make hidden leaks a year-round problem. Our electronic leak detection finds slab leaks, wall leaks, and underground line breaks before they damage your foundation.

Leak Detection Services

• Acoustic leak detection for underground lines
• Thermal imaging for wall and ceiling leaks
• Slab leak pinpointing and repair
• Meter verification and pressure testing
