Plumbing Services in the New Orleans Lakefront, LA: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of New Orleans
Your Trusted Lakefront Plumber
The Lakefront is a distinctive stretch of New Orleans along Lake Pontchartrain: neighborhoods like Lake Vista, Lake Terrace, Lake Oaks, and Lakeshore, plus the UNO area. Much of it is built on land reclaimed from the lake in the early twentieth century. That reclaimed-land setting gives the Lakefront a plumbing story all its own, 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 Lakefront
Every Lakefront 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 Lakefront 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 Lakefront Plumbing Landscape
Built on land pumped up from Lake Pontchartrain, the Lakefront sits on especially soft, settling fill, so subsidence is pronounced. It shifts sewer and water lines and contributes to slab leaks across the area's mid-century and grand homes. Served by the Sewerage & Water Board's Mississippi River water, the Lakefront's concerns are structural and flood-related rather than about hard water.
The neighborhood's lakeside position and its severe flooding in Hurricane Katrina make flood protection a priority: backwater valves, drainage, and elevated water heaters. Many homes here are also raised, with plumbing in crawlspaces. Older homes may carry aging galvanized lines and cast-iron drains worth repiping. We help Lakefront homeowners protect distinctive homes on challenging ground.

Seasonal Plumbing in Lakefront
On the Lakefront, storm readiness leads the calendar. Before hurricane season, have your backwater valve, drainage, and any crawlspace sump checked, and confirm your water heater is elevated.
