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.

I had an excellent experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Huntington Beach. Brandon was professional, punctual, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to explain the entire process clearly, which made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. The service was top notch from start to finish and was done on time, efficient, and respectful of my home. I highly recommend them if you're looking for honest, reliable plumbing service. Thanks again, Brandon!
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing provided excellent service from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, was professional, and clearly explained the work being done. The job completed was efficient with fair and transparent pricing. They're a new and upcoming business with motivated and humble personnel who are eager to serve the community's plumbing needs in all areas. Overall, a dependable and customer-focused company I would gladly recommend.
This is a great outfit, the plumbers here are really on top of their game. Use this company for all of my properties. Do not hesitate to give them a call if you have any plumbing repairs!
We had a huge mess with the master bath. Mike came in on a Sunday for us (thats was so nice), no-one else would. He was EXTREMELY professional and nice. He handled the issue and explained a lot to us (he didn't have to do that). I was so relieved about the whole experience. Another kicker is that he had no intention of nickel and diming us for a Sunday call. If you ever need a plumber, please call this company and hopefully, you will get Mike. I'm beyond satisfied and I will NEVER use a different company.
We were so blessed to have someone like Ira sent out to us. He was professional, respectful, knowledgeable, with lots of patience. We also learned a lot from him. What an asset for Ben Franklin.
Hector did a fantastic job! Replaced all copper lines, replaced all shut off valves, rerouted a few lines that were not in code, replaced main shut off valve coming in from the street, replaced kitchen faucet, installed a new garbage disposal unit. The list goes on! Now we have peace of mind with no worries on plumbing issues. GREAT JOB!!!
We contacted Benjamin Franklin Plumbing because we had a leak we couldn’t locate. Joe P. was the technician/plumber who came out, and he was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. He called ahead to say he was on his way and showed up right when he said, which was very appreciated. Joe thoroughly inspected every possible source until he found the issue. He clearly explained what he was checking, how he identified the problem, and what our options were to fix it. He was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied after the repair. We’ll be requesting Joe specifically for any future plumbing needs. He truly represents outstanding service.
Garrett was awesome! Very kind and answered all of my questions. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job. He was also so sweet to my pup 🙂
First time that Ben Franklin came here for work. I needed a water line run to my new refrigerator. The obvious thing to do was run an underfloor line from the refrigerator location to the nearby sink plumbing. But a quick exam of my very low crawl space showed that the ventilation ductwork made that route impossible. Fortunately, the water line to my utility room washing machine could be quickly tapped to run the line through the wall. I also appreciated that the plumber helped me position and set my refrigerator to finish the project. Will be calling Ben Franklin for a future project. Thanks!
Technician Matthew was amazing. He was very friendly and explained everything he was doing. The job ended up being more than what he came out to do and he stayed to finish everything that needed to be done. I definitely would recommend this company to friends and family
