Plumbing Services in Bucktown, LA: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of New Orleans

Bucktown is a historic lakefront community at the edge of Metairie where the 17th Street Canal meets Lake Pontchartrain. Once a fishing village known for its seafood, it's now a mix of longtime cottages and newer homes along the water. Its lakeside setting gives Bucktown a distinctive plumbing profile, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of New Orleans serves it on time, every time.

On time, every time: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.

Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Bucktown

Every Bucktown home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire greater New Orleans 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 Bucktown homeowners facing burst pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, storm-season 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 grease, roots, and the buildup found in the old cast-iron and clay lines common across the area.
Water Heaters & Tankless: Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems and elevated or attic installations that keep equipment above flood level.
Sewer & Water Line Repair, Replacement & Trenchless: Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options are our signature work here. As settling delta soil and aging laterals break, separate, and clog lines, trenchless spares your yard and driveway.
Slab Leaks & Leak Detection: We also offer non-destructive leak detection and slab leak repair. Soil movement makes slab leaks common on the area's slab-foundation homes, we pinpoint them before we cut into anything.
Piping, Repiping & Lead Service Lines: Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized water lines and failing cast-iron drains, plus service line and lead-era line replacement in historic homes, a focus of current federal lead-pipe rules.
Flood & Backup Protection: Sump pumps, backwater valves, and drainage solutions to stop the sewer backups and crawlspace flooding that heavy rain, a high water table, and storm season bring to low-lying and raised homes.
Water Treatment & Filtration: Water softeners and filtration for the moderately hard Mississippi River water that serves the area, improving taste and protecting water heaters and fixtures.
Outdoor Plumbing: Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation lines, and outdoor showers.
Fixtures, Faucets, Toilets, Showers & Disposals: Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial Plumbing: Commercial plumbing service for French Quarter and CBD restaurants and hospitality, Metairie and Kenner businesses, and the airport area.

The Bucktown Plumbing Landscape

Bucktown's lakefront location is its defining plumbing factor. Sitting low beside Lake Pontchartrain and the 17th Street Canal, the area faces a high water table and real flooding and storm-surge risk, so backwater valves, drainage, and elevated water heaters matter. Many homes are also raised on piers, with plumbing in crawlspaces. Served by Jefferson Parish's Mississippi River water, the concerns here are structural and flood-related.

The settling delta soil shifts sewer and water lines and contributes to slab leaks, while Bucktown's older cottages may carry aging galvanized lines and cast-iron drains worth repiping. The mix of historic and newer homes along the lake means we work across everything from a raised cottage to a modern build, and the occasional hard freeze can threaten exposed pipes.

Seasonal Plumbing in Bucktown

Bucktown's lakefront setting makes storm readiness essential. Before hurricane season, have your backwater valve, drainage, and any crawlspace sump checked, and confirm your water heater is elevated. Watch year-round for slab and sewer leaks as the soil settles, and protect exposed pipes during the occasional winter freeze.

Hugo arrived at my house within the window of time I was expecting which was helpful. I could tell he knew what he was talking about. He gave me several options including an option to finance the replacement of my hot water heater. In short, he was kind, courteous and professional.

Robert Whitten

I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Kylie Kurt

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!

Bucktown Plumbing FAQs

Is flooding a big concern for Bucktown plumbing?

Yes. Bucktown's low, lakefront position raises flooding and sewer-backup risk, so backwater valves, good drainage, and elevated water heaters are important. We assess and install.

Do you service raised lakefront homes?

Yes. Many Bucktown homes are raised on piers, putting plumbing in crawlspaces; we're experienced working under raised floors and addressing the access that requires.
