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.

After investigating, multiple breaks were repaired after the water meters. Stayed until full repair was completed and disturbed area repaired. Great job. I will consider hiring Ben Franklin for any additional repairs needed.

Hugo arrived at my house within the window of time I was expecting which was helpful. I could tell he knew what he was talking about. He gave me several options including an option to finance the replacement of my hot water heater. In short, he was kind, courteous and professional.
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.
