Whether this is your first plumbing repair or your tenth, we want the process to be straightforward. We are a straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers who need the work done right without a lot of back-and-forth. Below is a look at the everyday plumbing work we handle throughout Carencro and the surrounding area.
A slow drain rarely fixes itself. Kitchen grease, hair, and years of buildup all narrow a drain line until water backs up entirely. We clear clogs using drain snaking for most blockages and hydro jetting for stubborn or recurring buildup that snaking alone will not remove. Hydro jetting pushes a high-pressure water stream through the line and clears the walls of the pipe, not just the clog itself.
A leak you can hear is easier to find than one hiding behind a wall or under a floor. We trace the source before anything is opened up, using pressure testing and other detection methods to locate the problem. The cause is found before anything is replaced, which keeps the repair targeted and the disruption to your home or building minimal.
No hot water is one of those problems that needs attention the same day. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters. If the unit is worth repairing, we tell you. If replacement makes more sense, we walk you through the options and confirm the price on the call. Tankless installation gets its own section below, since it comes up often in this area.
A running toilet, a dripping faucet, or a shower valve that will not hold temperature - these are small jobs that add up on a water bill fast. We handle toilet repair and replacement, faucet repair and installation, sink installation, and shower valve work for both residential and commercial properties. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
When the main line backs up, nothing in the house drains properly. We clear main line clogs, repair damaged sewer lines, and handle trenchless sewer repair where the pipe can be restored without a full excavation. We speak only to the line from the house out - we do not service tanks or drain fields.
A disposal that hums but will not spin, a shutoff valve that will not close all the way, low water pressure with no obvious cause - these are the kinds of calls we handle regularly. We install and repair garbage disposals, replace shutoff valves, and diagnose water pressure problems including pressure-reducing valve issues.
Older homes in Lafayette Parish often have galvanized steel or aging copper pipe that has reached the end of its useful life. Corrosion, pinhole leaks, and chronic low pressure are all signs it may be time to repipe. We work with both copper and PEX, and we will explain which makes sense for your situation before any work begins.
Doing plumbing work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, especially when the situation is urgent. A burst pipe, a major leak, no hot water, or a sewer backup that is affecting multiple drains - these are calls that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. We take urgent calls every day from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM, including weekends. One call gets the leak looked at.

We will scope the job on the call and let you know what comes next.
The plumbing around here follows a few common setups, and the climate plays a real role in what goes wrong and when. Slab-on-grade construction is the standard across Lafayette Parish. Heavy rainfall is a regular event. Clay-heavy soils shift with moisture, and the humidity here accelerates corrosion inside older pipe. The three services below come up more than most in this area, and we handle all of them.
We treat your home the way we would want ours treated. That means protecting your floors and finishes while we work, and leaving the space the way we found it.
Carencro sits in a region that gets significant rainfall, and the clay-heavy soils common throughout Lafayette Parish do not drain quickly. That combination puts real stress on sewer lines. When the ground saturates, water infiltrates older pipe joints and roots follow the moisture into the line. The result is a partial or complete sewer backup that affects every drain in the building.
We clear sewer backups and persistent drain clogs using hydro jetting for lines where buildup or root intrusion has narrowed the pipe. We also handle commercial drain cleaning for restaurants, multi-unit properties, and office buildings where grease and heavy use push lines to their limit. We'll take care of the pipes from here.
Slab-on-grade construction is the norm in this part of Louisiana, which means water supply lines and drain lines run directly beneath the concrete foundation. When one of those lines develops a leak, the water has nowhere to go except into the slab or up through the floor. Left unaddressed, a slab leak causes foundation damage, mold, and a water bill that climbs month after month.
We locate slab leaks using pressure testing and electronic detection methods before any concrete is disturbed. Finding the exact location first keeps the repair focused and reduces the area that needs to be opened. The price for detection and repair is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled.
A tankless water heater heats water on demand rather than storing a tank of it. For a household or business that runs out of hot water regularly, or for a property where floor space is limited, tankless is a practical upgrade. The unit mounts to a wall, delivers continuous hot water, and eliminates the standby heat loss a storage tank produces around the clock.
We install tankless water heaters for both residential and commercial properties. We also service and repair existing tankless units. If you are weighing whether a tankless system makes sense for your building, call us and we will walk through the options with you.
Property managers and business owners in Carencro deal with the same plumbing problems as homeowners, just at a larger scale and with less tolerance for downtime. A backed-up floor drain in a commercial kitchen, a water heater that fails in a multi-unit building, or corroded pipe in an older commercial property - these are jobs that need to be handled quickly and done correctly.
We handle commercial drain cleaning, pipe repair, fixture installation, water heater service and replacement, and full commercial repiping. We work with property managers who need a plumber they can call without a long explanation, and with business owners who need the work done during hours that do not shut down the operation. Leave the leak to us.
Plumbing costs vary considerably depending on the job. Clearing a kitchen drain is a different scope than repairing a slab leak or repiping a house. We do not quote a flat rate on this page because the price depends on what we find when we scope the job. What we do is confirm the price on the call, before anything is scheduled, so you know what you are looking at before a visit is booked.
Call (337) 915-4289, describe what is happening, and we will give you a clear price for the work. Pick the date. We do the plumbing. We clean up after.
We serve Carencro as our home base and take calls from across Lafayette Parish and the communities around it. That includes Lafayette, Broussard, Scott, Youngsville, Duson, Breaux Bridge, Opelousas, and Sunset.

Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners throughout Carencro and Lafayette Parish. The range of work is the same on both sides: drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater service, sewer line work, repiping, and everything in between. Scheduling can be arranged around operating hours or tenant needs when that matters.
We ask about the symptoms, the fixture or pipe involved, and any history with the problem. That lets us scope the job and give you a price on the call before anything is put on the schedule. Once you agree to the work, we confirm the visit time and let you know what to expect when we arrive.
The price is confirmed on the call before the visit is booked. If the work turns out to be more involved once we are on site, that gets discussed with you before the scope changes. Nothing additional is started until you have heard what it covers and agreed to it.
The most common reason a job costs more than the initial estimate is that the underlying problem turns out to be larger than the visible symptom suggested. A slow drain, for example, can point to a simple clog or to a damaged sewer line, and those are different scopes. We talk through what we find before expanding the work, so you are not surprised by the final number.

Turn off the water supply to the fixture first. For a toilet, the shutoff valve is behind the base of the unit near the floor. For a sink, the valves are under the cabinet.
Once the water is off, call (337) 915-4289 and we will walk through what comes next and get the repair on the schedule.
Common signs include recurring leaks at multiple locations, chronic low water pressure, discolored water, or a water bill that climbs without explanation. Homes in Lafayette Parish with galvanized steel or aging copper pipe often reach a point where repeated spot repairs cost more than a full repipe. We assess the situation on the call and explain what the options look like before any work begins.
Yes. We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM, which gives homeowners and property managers flexibility when coordinating around work schedules or tenants. Short-notice requests depend on what the schedule allows, so call early if timing is tight.
Show the plumber the fixture, drain, or area where you first noticed the problem, and mention any related symptoms you have seen elsewhere in the house. If you have noticed a pattern, such as the problem getting worse after heavy rain or at a certain time of day, that detail helps narrow down the cause. The more context we have at the start, the more targeted the repair.
The price covers the work described on the call. That typically includes diagnosing the problem, performing the repair or installation, and cleaning up the work area before we leave. If the job requires parts, that is factored into the quote. We confirm what the price covers before anything is scheduled.

|---|---|---|---|
| Garbage Disposal Service | Jam clearing and resetLeak repair at mounting collar and drainFull disposal replacementDrain connection and mounting | Disposals that hum but do not spin, leak, or trip the reset repeatedly | A disposal that trips its reset more than once usually needs replacement rather than repeated resets. We assess which applies before recommending anything. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Supply line and fitting repairPressure testingElectronic leak locationTargeted pipe repair | Unexplained water bills, damp walls or ceilings, or a leak you cannot locate | Water travels along framing before it shows up at the surface, so finding the actual source before opening anything up keeps the repair focused. |
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing to confirm the leakElectronic detection under the slabAccess and repair options reviewConcrete work scoped before cutting | Homes on slab foundations with rising water bills, warm floor spots, or unexplained pressure loss | Louisiana's clay soils shift with every wet and dry cycle, putting stress on lines embedded in the slab. Catching a slab leak early limits foundation exposure. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Running toilet and weak flush repairBase and supply line leak fixFull toilet replacementWax ring and shutoff valve work | Toilets that run constantly, leak at the base, or need full replacement | A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water before the problem becomes obvious. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Kitchen and bathroom drain clearingMain line cleaningHydro jetting for heavy buildupBlockage cause check | Slow or fully clogged drain in any fixture or main line | Hydro jetting clears the pipe wall to wall rather than just opening a path through the clog, which helps with lines that back up repeatedly. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Faucet repair and cartridge replacementKitchen and bathroom fixture swapSink, shower, and tub installationSupply line connection | Dripping faucets, handle failures, or fixture upgrades during a remodel | We handle the full installation including supply connections and drain hookup, so the fixture is fully functional when we leave. |

| Sewer & Main Line Service | Camera inspection of the full lineRoot intrusion clearingHydro jetting and snakingSewer line repair or replacement | Multiple drains backing up, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors in the home | Heavy rainfall in Lafayette Parish pushes groundwater into sewer lines, making main line backups more common here than in drier regions. |
| Water Softening & Treatment | Water softener installationTreatment system hookupSupply line connectionExisting system check | Homes with hard water buildup on fixtures or appliances, or water quality concerns | We handle the plumbing connections for water treatment equipment. If you are unsure whether your water warrants a softener, describe what you are seeing on fixtures and we can advise on the call. |
| Repiping (PEX) | Whole-house pipe assessmentPEX supply line installationOld galvanized or polybutylene removalFixture reconnection | Homes with recurring leaks, corroding galvanized lines, or polybutylene pipe throughout | PEX handles the ground movement that Louisiana's clay soils put on a pipe system better than rigid materials, and it does not corrode from the inside the way galvanized steel does. |
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst and broken pipe repairMajor active leak responseEmergency sewer backup serviceWater heater failure leaving the home without hot water | Any situation where waiting until the next business day would cause serious damage or leave the home without water | We take emergency calls every day from 9 AM to 11 PM.

| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Pressure-reducing valve diagnosis and replacementMain and fixture shutoff valve repairSupply line buildup checkWhole-house pressure test | Low pressure throughout the house or a shutoff valve that will not fully close | A working shutoff valve matters most in an emergency. If yours is stiff or partially closed, getting it replaced now avoids a bigger problem later. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement | Tank and tankless unit diagnosisComponent repair where possibleFull unit replacement and removalGas line and electrical connection | No hot water, slow recovery, rust-colored water, or a unit that is leaking | We check the condition of the unit before recommending replacement.
