Plumbing Services in River Ridge, LA: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of New Orleans

Your Trusted River Ridge Plumber

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.

The River Ridge Plumbing Landscape

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.

Kay Oren

I had a fantastic experience with the lead plumber Brandon White. I called Benjamin Franklin to get a second opinion on a quote from another company, and he went above and beyond. He sent Benjamin & he came over the same day, he reassured me that the work recommended by the competitor was indeed necessary, reasonably priced, and completely aligned with the standard of work his team would provide. I was impressed with his honesty, he also explained why the work was necessary in terms that were easy to understand. His professionalism, and integrity gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend Brandon White the lead plumber at Benjamin Franklin for anyone looking for a trustworthy professional!

Alan Montgomery

Did a great job for a fair price. Arrived on time. Did excellent, professional work, cleaned up afterwards and was courteous through the entire time. Met ALL my expectations.

Lee Wood

Scheduling service was easy and the discussion of the work I needed performed occurred at my house and options were discussed. Once we decided on the items to be replaced and the work to be performed, I received the cost estimate and we scheduled a date for the work. Davy showed up on-time to perform the work and was very thorough in getting the job finished. The work was accomplished in the time allotted and Davy provided a detailed review of the work. Highly recommend contacting Erin and his team at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to get top quality, reliable work at a fair price!

Peter Klemkowsky

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.

Lynne Jones

Very prompt response and very friendly and courteous people. Highly recommend.

Katherine Leitner

Great experience with this new company. John, the owner, was extremely helpful in his initial visit. Follow up appointments were needed and Hugo was assigned as our technician. Hugo was kind and knowledgeable. He explained everything and completed everything well. Will definitely recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to friends and family.

Thomas Miller

Great service, worked over allotted time and did not charge more than agreed. Good guys, very pleased and will use again!

River Ridge Plumbing FAQs

Is River Ridge less flood-prone than the rest of the metro?

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.

Why does my River Ridge slab home have leaks?

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.

Should I repipe my older River Ridge home?

If it has corroding galvanized water lines or failing cast-iron drains, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect and recommend honestly.

Do you offer 24/7 service in River Ridge?

Yes, around the clock, every day, with the On-Time Guarantee and no after-hours fees.

Can you handle a sewer line break?

Yes. Settling soil and aging laterals break and separate lines; we camera-inspect, repair, and use trenchless methods to replace them with minimal digging.
