Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Kaplan

Every Kaplan 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:

24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Kaplan 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.

Plumbing Repairs
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 & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing roots, grease, and buildup in aging lines.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems and elevated installations that keep equipment above flood level.
Water Treatment, Iron Filters & Softeners
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 Pumps & Water Systems
Well pump repair and replacement and pressure-tank service for the many rural Acadiana homes that rely on private wells.
Slab Leaks & Leak Detection
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 & Septic-Aware Service
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options, plus drain and waste-line work tailored to the area's many septic-connected homes.
Piping, Repiping & Lead Service Lines
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and cast-iron systems, plus service line and lead-era line replacement in older homes.
Flood & Storm Protection
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
Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation lines, and outdoor connections.
Fixtures, Faucets, Toilets, Showers, Tubs & Disposals
Faucets, toilets, showers, bathtubs, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial & Agricultural Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for Acadiana's rice and crawfish farms, fishing communities, restaurants, and small-town businesses.

Kaplan blends town municipal water with the many surrounding farms and rural homes 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.

Sitting in low, coastal Vermilion Parish, Kaplan faces a high water table and real flood risk from heavy rain and hurricanes, so drainage, backwater valves, and crawlspace sump pumps matter. Additionally, homes here are slab or raised. The soft soil can shift slabs and cause slab leaks, the area's rice and crawfish farms rely on agricultural plumbing, and the occasional hard freeze can burst exposed pipes.

Seasonal Plumbing in Kaplan

Kaplan's low, farming-and-coastal setting makes storm readiness key. Before hurricane season, check drainage, backwater valves, and any sump. Keep iron filters and the pressure tank maintained. Before winter, protect exposed pipes and farm plumbing from the occasional hard freeze.

Linda Burns

I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

W P

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!

Brian Ridenour

Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!

Dennis Sen

10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!

Refind Vintage

We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.

Suzyn Purdy

Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.

Larry Murphy

Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.

Jeremiah Fisher

A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!

Tammy Spencer

Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!

Paula Thompson

The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Kaplan home or farm on a well?

Many properties here are on private wells and septic. We service well pumps, pressure tanks, iron treatment, and septic-aware drains, along with municipal-water homes in town.

Why does my well water stain or smell?

Iron and sometimes hydrogen sulfide are common in Acadiana's groundwater, along with hardness. After a water test, we install the right filtration and treatment.

Is flooding a concern in Kaplan?

Yes. Low coastal Vermilion Parish faces a high water table and flood risk, so backwater valves, drainage, and crawlspace sump pumps help. We assess and install.
