Drain cleaning and sewer line repair in Lafayette, LA

Clear the clog, then find out why it happened.

Acadiana Plumbers clears clogged drains and repairs sewer lines in Lafayette and the surrounding towns. A single slow drain is usually a cable job. A clog that keeps coming back, or several fixtures backing up at once, points to the main line, and that calls for a camera before anyone decides on a repair.

What the work covers

  • Drain cleaning by cable
  • Hydro jetting
  • Sewer camera inspection
  • Sewer line repair and installation
  • Trenchless pipe lining
  • Storm drain installation

Older neighborhoods in Lafayette still have cast iron drain lines running under the slab. Cast iron rusts from the inside, the pipe wall turns rough, and paper and grease catch on it. From the kitchen sink that looks like an ordinary clog. On camera it looks like a pipe near the end of its life, and no amount of cabling fixes that for long.

A sewer camera inspection is worth doing in 2 situations, before buying a house and on any clog that keeps coming back. The estimate is then based on what the line looks like inside.

When a line does need repair, digging is not the only route. Trenchless pipe lining is a cured-in-place liner that repairs the pipe from the inside, without digging up the yard or the slab. It suits some lines and not others, which is one more thing the camera settles.
