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.

We had technician Cristian Giurgila come out to our house and fix a water leak and he was absolutely fantastic. Great customer service and he was able to complete the repairs same day. He was amazing. Next time we need them we will request Cristian.
Hands-down, the best company ever . Randall& Marquise they did a thorough job. Making sure everything was fixed the right way and also made sure my water was working before they left. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs.
I had a great experience with Lonnie! He arrived on time, was very pleasant to work with, and did an excellent job fixing the issue. Highly professional and reliable—I’ll definitely call again if I need plumbing help!
The young man that came in and inspected my hot water heater was Ilija Kostadinov. He was so polite and very thorough. He made me feel very comfortable with the options that I chose for a new hot water heater. He was very informative, I would recommend this company and Ilija To anyone that I know it has a plumbing problem. Thank you for being so honest and amazing.
Bryan did a beautifull Job uninstalling my old water conditioner and replacing it with the new one. He introduced himself when he got here to my home, and was so nice. He explained to me everything he was going to do and let me know he had to turn the water off for a couple of hrs before he completed the job. I was very pleased with the Job he did. It was neatly done and very professional.
Caleb helped us out with some issues we were having. He did an amazing job! Got everything done with attention to detail and in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend asking for Caleb!
We always have super kind technicians at Ben Franklin but today we had a guy come out who went above and beyond! His name was Nery. He provided us with exceptional service. Nery was so polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. I had many questions about getting our pipes replaced and he explained everything thoroughly to my husband and I. We have talked to a couple other plumbing companies about the problems we are facing in regards to our plumbing (old house) and never felt like we were getting the answers we needed to follow through with their services. It was a no brainer after Nery explained everything to us. He was so kind and a great asset to your team!
I had a rough start with them-my attic flooded a year after installation because the system wasn't up to spec. But they owned up to it, revamped their team, and sent folks out to fix everything in one day flat. Added overflow pans with water switches for all my units. Super thorough, no shortcuts. Now I can remodel my bathroom without sweating a repeat flood. If you had issues before, their changes are real-worth giving them another shot. Great company, solid warranties, and Joel especially? Total pro.
Andrew was a pleasure to work with. When I called for service, he was on it right away. Needing to escalate the matter, he then contacted his restoration guys who also came right over. I couldn’t be happier with the job they did and will definitely call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Should I need their services again.Thank you, Andrew!
