Sunset is a charming, growing town in St. Landry Parish north of Lafayette. It is known for its antique shops, the historic Chretien Point Plantation, and a mix of small-town and country living. With its rural surroundings, Sunset has a plumbing profile built around wells, septic, and iron water. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Lafayette is proud to serve it.
On time, every time. If there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Sunset home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Acadiana service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Sunset homeowners facing burst or frozen pipes, well-pump failures, sewer or septic backups, storm flooding, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays, with no after-hours fees.
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems with our plumbers trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing roots, grease, and buildup in aging lines.
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems and elevated installations that keep equipment above flood level.
Water softeners and filtration for the Chicot Aquifer groundwater that serves Acadiana. The water is often high in iron (which stains fixtures and laundry), moderately hard, and sometimes carrying a sulfur odor.
Well pump repair and replacement and pressure-tank service for the many rural Acadiana homes that rely on private wells.
We also offer non-destructive leak detection and slab leak repair. We pinpoint the slab leaks that soft South Louisiana soils can cause under slab-foundation homes, before we cut into anything.
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options, plus drain and waste-line work tailored to the area's many septic-connected homes.
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and cast-iron systems, plus service line and lead-era line replacement in older homes.
Sump pumps, backwater valves, and drainage solutions to guard crawlspaces, low-lying areas, and raised homes against the heavy rains, high water table, and hurricanes of South Louisiana.
Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation lines, and outdoor connections.
Faucets, toilets, showers, bathtubs, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial plumbing service for Acadiana's rice and crawfish farms, fishing communities, restaurants, and small-town businesses.
Sunset blends town municipal water with rural properties on private wells. Well-pump service and iron treatment for the Chicot Aquifer groundwater (often high in iron, moderately hard, and sometimes carrying a sulfur odor) are core local needs. Septic systems are common on rural lots, shaping how we handle drain and waste-line work.
The soft South Louisiana soil can shift slabs and cause slab leaks on slab-foundation homes. The flat, low ground brings drainage concerns in heavy rain, and older homes may need repiping. Sunset's convenient location north of Lafayette keeps it growing with newer homes alongside its country properties. Occasionally, the hard freeze can burst exposed pipes.
Sunset's town and country homes get our full range: well-pump and iron-treatment service, septic-aware drains, slab leak detection, and repiping for older homes. Our stocked trucks finish most jobs in one trip, on time and with up-front pricing.
If there's any delay, it's you we pay, $5 for every minute we're late, up to $300. See our guarantees.
You approve every price before any work begins, no meter running, no surprises.
We stand behind our materials, labor, and craftsmanship, and our customers rate us 5 stars across more than 150 local reviews.
We answer the phone around the clock, every day of the year, with no after-hours fees. This is vital during a well-pump failure, a slab leak, or a storm-season backup.
Background-checked, drug-tested professionals, licensed in Louisiana (MP4402), with liability coverage and workers' compensation. We also offer a 15% discount for military and first responders.
Based right here in Lafayette and serving Sunset, supported by a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024.
Club membership with annual safety inspections, leak checks, water heater, well, and treatment tune-ups, priority service, and discounts.
Sunset's small-town-and-country setting rewards routine. Test your well water and keep iron filters and the pressure tank maintained. If you're on septic, mind what enters the system. Before storm season, check drainage. Before winter, protect exposed pipes from the occasional hard freeze.

Made appointment to pinpoint leak in shower head. Turned out it was the valve which needed replacing. Hugo was great. Ordered it and returned the following day to install. He also shared information about flushing out our tankless water heaters and addressing excessive pressure coming into the house. We are checking with the builder before we schedule those additional jobs to see if there is any warranty on our home.
Mark Katzman
Hugo came on time. Fixed problem.

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!
Jim O'Callaghan
We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!
William Rosshirt
Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer
Justin Faulkner
Great communication when trying to schedule and when in route. Answered my questions and explained options before starting. Completed the work, verified it was fixed and cleaned the area when he was done. (Kitchen sink clog - more than 25’ from the sink)
William Whitehouse
Justin did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. I tried to do it myself and evidently it went up the vent at the T instead of going down into the clog. Hopefully it will not clogged again but if it does and I can't get it I will be calling again. This is the 2nd time I've used Ben Franklin Plumbing and am happy the the fast response and courtesy of the plumbers. I recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to anyone I know needing a plumber.
N Peterson
Chris is very upbeat and personable. He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and got everything done the same day that we needed repaired and replaced. I’m very pleased with his work and would highly recommend Chris for any future plumbing projects.
