Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Jefferson, often called Old Jefferson, is an established unincorporated community in Jefferson Parish between Metairie and the Mississippi River, near Harahan and the Huey P. Long Bridge. Its settled, older neighborhoods give it a familiar New Orleans-area 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.
Every Jefferson 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:
Jefferson is served by Jefferson Parish's Mississippi River water, moderately hard, with softeners available, but its plumbing concerns are largely structural. Built on settling delta soil, the area's homes face the subsidence that shifts sewer and water lines and contributes to slab leaks. That makes sewer line repair and slab leak detection common calls, while older homes may need repiping of aging galvanized lines and cast-iron drains.
Sitting between Metairie and the river, Jefferson's lower areas can face drainage and flooding challenges in heavy rain, so backwater valves and good drainage matter. Some homes are also raised, with plumbing in crawlspaces. The mix of older and mid-century homes means we work across a range of systems, and the occasional hard freeze can threaten exposed pipes.

Jefferson's settled, older neighborhoods fit our full range: sewer line repair, slab leak detection, repiping for older homes, and flood protection where needed. Our stocked trucks resolve most calls on the first visit, on time and with up-front pricing.
Jefferson's seasons set the schedule. Before heavy-rain and hurricane season, check drainage and any backwater valve to prevent sewer backups. Watch year-round for slab leaks and sewer issues as the soil settles. Protect exposed pipes during the occasional winter freeze.

★★★★★ Everything about the scheduling process was easy, they showed up on time, and explained everything they were going to do. They didn’t try to sell me things I didn't need. This was a much better experience than the last plumbing company I used. These are my guys moving forward!

I wanted to share my appreciation for the excellent service Brandon and his team provided. Brandon arrived on time, responded quickly, and handled the work with professionalism, friendliness, and care. What stood out most was the speed and convenience of the service. Brandon assessed the leakage damage, cleaned the spout, scraped away the old caulk, reinstalled the area, and sealed it properly for waterproofing. Please extend my thanks to Brandon and his team for their reliable work and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend their service and will call again for future needs.

Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.
Brenda George
Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!
Cynthia V. Bell
The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.
Gail Irwin
Needed emergency drain unclog- they were so professional when I called! Got someone here in less than an hour! And no crazy “emergency” charge! The plumber was a great guy! Again, professional and courteous! Brynt was very knowledgeable and efficient- fixed us right up! Company vehicle nice and clean, uniforms nice- hope we never need again- who wants plumbing issues?-but if we do, you can bet we will call them again for sure!!!
Settling delta soil shifts and stresses sewer and water lines and the pipes within slabs, causing breaks and slab leaks. We camera-inspect, pinpoint, and repair, using trenchless methods where possible.
If it has corroding galvanized water lines or failing cast-iron drains, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect and recommend honestly.
A backwater valve and good drainage are the key defenses when the parish system is overwhelmed. We assess and install.
Yes, we serve Jefferson and the surrounding Jefferson Parish communities with the full range of residential plumbing, including 24/7 emergencies.
