In Lakewood, CA, more and more homeowners are making smart use of their backyards, building ADUs for aging parents, grown kids, or extra rental income. But while the idea might sound simple, the plumbing? Not so much.
That’s where Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach comes in. We specialize in ADU plumbing services in Lakewood, handling everything from new water and sewer line connections to fixture installation and city inspections. Whether you’re converting a garage, building from scratch, or adding a backyard cottage, we’ll help you get it done right, on code, on time, and without cutting corners.
Plumbing for an ADU isn’t like adding a second bathroom. It’s more like building a mini home from the ground up. And when it comes to tying into existing systems, navigating permitting, and meeting Lakewood’s building codes, you need more than a handyman. You need a plumber who knows the process inside and out.
Here’s why hiring an expert matters:
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we don’t just install pipes. We guide you through the process from the first blueprint to final inspection, making sure your ADU is functional, legal, and built to last.
Whether you’re building a sleek new backyard rental or converting a garage into a cozy in-law suite, we offer everything you need to bring the plumbing side of your ADU to life safely, smoothly, and to code.
Here’s what we handle:
We work closely with general contractors, designers, and homeowners alike to make sure everything flows the way it should, on the blueprint and in real life.
When you’re adding an ADU in Lakewood, cutting corners can be risky, costing you time, money, and your final inspection approval. That’s why every job we take on is built around code compliance from the start.
We stay up to date on Lakewood’s local ordinances, Los Angeles County regulations, and all California plumbing code requirements, so your project moves forward without unnecessary delays or red tape.
What you can count on:
No shortcuts. No surprises. Just plumbing you and your inspector can trust.
While ADU plumbing is one of our specialties, we’re also the go-to team for just about every other plumbing need in Lakewood. Whether it’s a quick repair or a full system overhaul, we bring the same attention to detail and commitment to quality every time.
Our services include:
No matter what’s happening behind your walls or under your yard, we’ve got the tools, training, and team to handle it.
From the tree-lined streets of Lakewood Village to the post-war charm of the Lakewood Mutuals, this city has a little bit of everything, and we’ve worked in just about all of it. Whether you’re adding an ADU to a classic mid-century home or expanding a newer property near Del Amo, we understand the plumbing systems that run beneath it all.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we’ve helped Lakewood homeowners plan, build, and upgrade their plumbing with confidence. We know the local codes, the soil conditions, and the quirks of older infrastructure, and that gives our clients an edge.
Building an ADU is an exciting move, but the plumbing behind it needs to be solid, code-compliant, and built to last. That’s exactly what we deliver at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach.
Whether you’re just getting started or already in the thick of construction, we’re ready to step in with expert service, clear communication, and a crew that respects your time and your property.

Jake was very efficient and explained what needed to be done clearly. He worked fast and was done within a reasonable amount of time. He was friendly and also helpful, even bringing boxes delivered to our house inside without being asked! Thank you Jake!
Jerry was very attentive today. He was honest on what needed to be done to fine our leaks. He was efficient while working on the tub and getting it done in a timely manner.
Amazing experience! Paul came out this weekend and did an incredible job! Not only did he diagnose the issues clearly and simply, but prepared the exact resolution plan we needed and quick! Then spent the whole day Saturday getting our bathrooms back in working order, a solid new water heater, and a soft water system to counteract the Florida sediment. Couldn’t be happier with the professionalism and timeliness! Amazing work: thank you Paul!
Nicholas Blackwell did an excellent job. He was thorough in explaining the situation of my problem to me, also in explaining all the company offers and explained the membership available to. He is knowledgeable of his profession and has a very courteous and respectful disposition. The company has a great asset.
Fast, same-day replacement of my water heater. Saved my bacon. Mike explained my options clearly and did the work incredibly quickly. I would have no reservations about using Franklin Plumbing again.
I had a plugged sewer line. They showed us on time and did an excellent job of clearing the sewer line. He's sharp knowledgeable. I would recommend this man and service to others He's a great plummer.
Called on Sunday due to a leak. Very responsive. Nicholas came out and checked things and was in contact with his supervisor Tom who also came over. After much evaluation it was determined a pipe had broken under the foundation. They began repairs the very next day.
Chase Allen and Aven Hartley were our technicians for a glass leak located under our house. They provided great service and had the leak fixed in just a few short hours. Highly recommend.
Fernando was our technician he was very helpful definitely will use them again
Michael just left our house and he did an amazing job! He immediately found the cause of all of our problems and very efficiently and pleasantly fixed them all. He’s leaving now and he didn’t leave anything undone even though he had to stay late for us. We are so thankful that he came right when he was supposed to and did a fantastic job and was super professional. We want Michael back every time we need a plumber from now on.
