About Drain Cleaning in New Iberia and Lafayette
Pipes and Plugs is a licensed plumbing contractor providing professional drain cleaning across South Louisiana. We serve homeowners and businesses in New Iberia, Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Maurice, Abbeville, Jeanerette, Loreauville, St. Martinville, Franklin, Baldwin, and surrounding Acadiana communities. With over 40 years of combined local experience and Plumbing Contractor License #42498, our drain specialists handle everything from minor sink clogs to major main line backups.
Drain clogs happen for different reasons depending on the location in your home. Kitchen drains clog from grease, food particles, and soap that solidify on the inside of pipes. Bathroom drains clog from hair, soap scum, and personal care products. Main sewer lines often clog from tree root intrusion, especially in older Acadiana homes with cast iron or clay pipes. Many homes throughout New Iberia, Lafayette, and St. Martinville were built decades ago with pipe materials that are now past their prime, and the mature oak and pecan trees common to South Louisiana send roots straight into any small crack or joint they can find. Each type of clog needs a different approach, which is why our team uses multiple methods including drain snaking, hydro-jetting, and video camera inspection.

Hydro-jetting is the most effective method for stubborn or recurring clogs. It uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to completely scour pipe walls clean, removing grease buildup, scale, and even tree roots. Unlike basic snaking which just punches a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting provides long-lasting results that prevent the clog from returning. We pair hydro-jetting with video camera drain inspection to verify the line is fully clear and identify any pipe damage that needs repair before it becomes an emergency. We also use septic-safe methods for the many homes throughout Acadiana that rely on septic systems.
Whether you need kitchen drain cleaning in New Iberia, main line drain cleaning in Lafayette, hydro-jetting service in Youngsville, tree root removal in Broussard, or 24/7 emergency drain service in Abbeville, Pipes and Plugs is the team to call. Most drain cleaning is backed by our 5-year warranty. Schedule online or call 337-364-2980 to get started.
