Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Old Metairie is the gracious, established heart of Metairie, affluent area of historic and custom homes, mature oaks, and tree-lined streets near the 17th Street Canal and the Orleans Parish line. Finer, older homes call for sophisticated, careful plumbing, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of New Orleans brings the expertise to match.
On time, every time, premium service backed by our promise: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Old Metairie 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:
Old Metairie's older and grander homes are the defining plumbing factor: many carry aging galvanized water lines, failing cast-iron drains, and lead-era service lines. That makes repiping, drain replacement, and lead service line replacement common and important under current federal lead-pipe rules. Served by Jefferson Parish's Mississippi River water, the area's concerns are structural and quality-of-finish, not hard-water treatment.
The settling delta soil shifts sewer and water lines and stresses both slab and raised foundations, making sewer line repair and slab leak detection frequent. The value of these homes also makes precise, non-destructive detection essential to protect finished living space. Proximity to the 17th Street Canal and a history of flooding make backwater valves and drainage important, and many homes are raised, putting plumbing in crawlspaces.

Old Metairie's fine, older homes reward experience and care. Repiping and lead service line replacement, precise slab and sewer leak detection, and flood protection are all delivered by a plumber who plans the work and protects your home's finishes. We bring that with white-glove, on-time service backed by our guarantees.
Old Metairie's older, higher-value homes reward proactive care. Watch for the rusty water and low pressure that signal aging galvanized or lead-era pipe, have the backwater valve and drainage checked before storm season. Watch for slab and sewer leaks 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!

Eric did a great job! Immediately diagnosed the problem and provided me with two choices to fix it. Once the decision on what to do was made he had the job done remarkably quick. He even took a look at the toilet in another bathroom just to make sure it was running smoothly. A great job by a super nice guy. Highly recommended. Thanks Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!
TERRY MCKEE
Very impressive people to be around.

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.

The owner is very detailed and does his research! He wants to ensure everyone gets the best possible. Through his top of class hiring and extensive attention to detail, the Madison area has a great option with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for all of their plumbing needs!
Cheri Carver
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
