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.

Scheduling my appointment was easy and I received helpful information on my provider’s arrival time. Kevin was very patient in explaining in detail the services they could provide and what my home could benefit from. He laid out the estimate and costs with no pressure but an honest evaluation of what was needed. Very pleased with my experience!
This was our first time calling. Very professional and knowledgeable. Our Rep, Chris Fontenot, was an absolute pleasure to work with and very thorough. The entire team that came out and played a part in the repairs was very professional and every one was so pleasant. The work was impeccable! Great job Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, you have a new customer!
Brandon and Nate where punctual on-time thumbs up 👍. They where friendly and polite. We had an issue with installing a new toilet that was bigger and longer than the original area allowed so we had to modify the floor space near the toilet edge and move it back away from the area to allow for the toilet to fit properly in place. Thank you to the crew for a great job. We reside in a modular home with wood flooring.
