Drain Cleaning

You rely on the drains in your Lafayette home to send wastewater flowing out of your home, keeping everything hygienic and comfortable. When clogged drains interfere with that process, it turns a pleasant home into an inconvenient mess. Thankfully, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® has the drain cleaning knowledge and equipment to take care of even the most clogged drains, whether it’s a wad of paper towels or a build-up of scum and grime that happened over time.

Watch out for these signs that a clogged drain is imminent:

  • Drainage is slower while you use showers, tubs, or sinks
  • Weak toilet flush
  • Odors
  • Gurgling sounds or bubbling from drains
  • Drain flies

Call our team before it gets worse, and we’ll get your water flowing again. You can count on our drain cleaning service to make your plumbing system reliable and efficient. Say goodbye to slow-flushing toilets, gurgling drains, and water pooling around your feet while you shower!

Leak Detection

For homes in Lafayette with aging plumbing systems, leaks are common. The most damaging leaks are the ones you can’t see, since they can do a lot of damage to your home before you discover them. That’s why you should call our leak detection team at the first sign of problems.

Call for pipe leak detection service if you notice:

  • Rising water bills
  • Wet spots
  • Water stains
  • Trickling sounds
  • Mildew growth
  • Soggy lawn or pooling water

Those are some of the top symptoms of an issue that calls for leak detection by the pros. We use sonic listening, infrared viewing, pressure checks, dye testing, and other methods to find those hidden leaks and fix your pipes. Delaying pipe leak detection allows the problem to get worse, so call our team when you need a little help from the experts. Once we find your leak, we’ll always strive for the least invasive solution within your budget range while giving you a solution that lasts.

Leak Repair

Some leaks are obvious, others are subtle. Either way, once you know you have one, you don’t want to delay calling our leak repair team. We don’t just patch leaks and leave; our water leak repair service will show you all the options for a long-lasting fix. If needed, we can use a temporary solution to buy you some time while you decide on what to do next, but our service ultimately delivers a permanent repair that doesn’t break the bank.

Temporary Leak Repair Methods:

  • Pipe clamps
  • Epoxy putty
  • Repair tape
  • Slip couplings

These temporary emergency methods allow us to turn your water back on, so we can return at a more convenient time for the full plumbing leak repair service. Our leak repair method will always aim for the most budget-friendly and least invasive technique. We’ll fully replace pipes only when it’s really necessary to protect your home and plumbing system.

Vonda Brooks

This was our first time calling. Very professional and knowledgeable. Our Rep, Chris Fontenot, was an absolute pleasure to work with and very thorough. The entire team that came out and played a part in the repairs was very professional and every one was so pleasant. The work was impeccable! Great job Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, you have a new customer!

Tony K Peters

Brandon and Nate where punctual on-time thumbs up 👍. They where friendly and polite. We had an issue with installing a new toilet that was bigger and longer than the original area allowed so we had to modify the floor space near the toilet edge and move it back away from the area to allow for the toilet to fit properly in place. Thank you to the crew for a great job. We reside in a modular home with wood flooring.

melissa rogers

Jacob did amazing quality work on our waterline that burst. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend his service

Brian Atwater

We have had the pleasure of having your employee Brad service our home several times now and has always been top notch!! Brad is the epitome of great customer service, he should be leveraged as an example for others! Awesome job Brad, thanks again you rock!!

Dagmar DUNN

Wayne Smeigh

Carlos was prompt and thorough. He was friendly and courteous. He made helpful suggestions and helped me resolve an issue that wasn’t technically part of his visit.

Kiersten Olsen

Marquies came out to unclog my bathroom sink. He was friendly and finished quickly! The whole experience was smooth and easy from booking the service to the performance of the service. Price was great as well!

K Beats

Tom Louchren is a fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable plumber. If your pipes are clogged or you are in need of another plumbing service, he's your man. I cannot recommend his services enough! I can also give Tom props for being an incredible, helpful salesman. He hooked my wife and I up with an amazing financing setup to pay off a replacement pipe from our house to the septic tank. And unlike some service companies. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing uses an actual financing company you can trust, and not some dumb bank pushing a credit card.

William Storey

Brian was top notch! He repaired the problem in a thorough and timely manner. He was very helpful and courteous. He took the time to show me the problem and explain the repair. I would highly recommend him.

xElChango

My name is Abrahan and my experience with this company was great. My wife called me saying the toilets were not flushing and the shower was not draining. I called this company and an hour later Keon Koontz was at my door to inspect and give me a quote. Keon was great with his explanations about our problem and was polite. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family.
