Plumbing Services in Lakeview, LA: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of New Orleans
Your Trusted Lakeview Plumber
Lakeview is one of New Orleans' most distinctive neighborhoods, an attractive area near Lake Pontchartrain that was devastated by the 17th Street Canal levee breach in Hurricane Katrina and has since been almost entirely rebuilt. That mix of newer, rebuilt homes on the same old settling soil gives Lakeview 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 Lakeview
Every Lakeview 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 Lakeview 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 do non-destructive leak detection and slab leak repair. Soil movement makes slab leaks common on the area's slab-foundation homes, and 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 Lakeview Plumbing Landscape
Lakeview's homes are largely newer construction, rebuilt since 2006, with modern plumbing. However, they sit on the same soft, settling delta soil as the rest of the city, so subsidence still shifts the ground beneath them, stressing sewer and water lines and contributing to slab leaks even in relatively new homes. Served by the Sewerage & Water Board's Mississippi River water, the neighborhood's plumbing concerns lean structural and flood-related rather than toward hard-water treatment.
Memories of catastrophic flooding make flood protection a priority here: backwater valves to stop sewer backups, good drainage, and water heaters often installed elevated or in attics. Many rebuilt homes are raised, putting plumbing in crawlspaces, and the proximity to the lake and canals keeps storm readiness top of mind. We help Lakeview homeowners protect the homes they've worked hard to rebuild.
