Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
River Ridge is an established Jefferson Parish suburb along the Mississippi River between Harahan and Metairie, set partly on the higher ground of the river's natural levee. That slightly elevated setting and its settled, family-friendly neighborhoods give River Ridge its own character, 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.
Every River Ridge 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:
Sitting partly on the natural river ridge, River Ridge has historically enjoyed somewhat higher, drier ground than much of the metro. It's still built on delta soil that settles, though, shifting sewer and water lines and contributing to slab leaks on its many slab-foundation homes. Served by Jefferson Parish's Mississippi River water, the area's plumbing concerns lean structural rather than toward hard-water treatment.
River Ridge's mix of mid-century and newer homes means everything from slab leak detection and sewer line repair to repiping aging galvanized lines in older houses. Even on higher ground, heavy rain can overwhelm drainage, so backwater valves and good drainage still matter, and the occasional hard freeze can threaten exposed pipes.

River Ridge's settled neighborhoods on the river ridge fit our full range: slab leak detection, sewer line repair, repiping for older homes, and flood protection where needed. Our stocked trucks resolve most calls on the first visit, with up-front pricing.
River Ridge's seasons set the schedule. Before heavy-rain and hurricane season, check drainage and any backwater valve. Watch year-round for slab leaks as the soil settles. Protect exposed pipes during the occasional winter freeze. Flush the water heater yearly.

Brandon was very easy to work with in giving me options to consider. Personable, polite and professional!
Ron Hyatte
Excellent quality work. Company employees are very knowledgeable and professional. Very reasonable prices for the work performed.
Robert Whitten
I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!

I have known the owner John for 15 years. He is very knowledgable about plumbing and can explain plumbing systems so well. He has given me great ideas and options when I am working on my house and I value his opinions and advice. Recently, I had a plumbing issue under the house and John took care of it. I am very happy with his work.
Daniel Moise
I’m gald to say that Benjamin Franklin in Palm Desert helped me install my water heater that failed. Luis and Hugo were very professional and kept the work area cleaned at all times even during the installation process. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Coachella valley.
Eric R
I know the owner and worked with him. He is dependable, has pride in his work and always willing to teach. You can trust Benjamin Franklin Plumbing To be on time, do what they say they are going to do and always produce high quality work. Please give them a try you won’t regret it 😊
Beck Hasti
We had an old, barely functioning kitchen faucet replaced. The plumber (Brandon) was very professional and left the area very clean and dry. He also noticed some quirks in the plumbing in our 85 year old house (which also explained a water pressure issue we’d been having), letting us know what could be done to address it (& how much it might cost), should we choose to do something about.
Tyler Wood
Love them! On time, thorough, and informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they were more than happy to educate me. I’ve known the owner for over 15 years. Great guy. Ask for John.

Excellent service. Very timely and professional. Reasonable price
Partly. Sitting on the natural river ridge gives it somewhat higher ground, but heavy rain can still overwhelm drainage. A backwater valve and good drainage remain wise. We assess your home.
Even on higher ground, the delta soil settles and shifts the pipes within a slab, causing slab leaks. We pinpoint them with non-destructive detection.
If it has corroding galvanized water lines or failing cast-iron drains, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect and recommend honestly.
Yes, around the clock, every day, with the On-Time Guarantee and no after-hours fees.
Yes. Settling soil and aging laterals break and separate lines; we camera-inspect, repair, and use trenchless methods to replace them with minimal digging.
