We Know Franklin Homes
Franklin has its own personality. As the parish seat of St. Mary Parish, sitting along Bayou Teche and Highway 90, Franklin is known for its beautiful historic downtown lined with antebellum homes, the St. Mary Parish Courthouse, and a strong sense of Louisiana heritage. The mix of homes is unique. Many of the older homes around downtown Franklin, the Main Street historic district, and the residential neighborhoods near St. John Catholic Church and St. Mary Parish Courthouse have plumbing and electrical systems that have been quietly aging for decades, sometimes for over a century. Cast-iron sewer lines crack. Galvanized water pipes corrode. Knob and tube and aluminum wiring still hide behind walls in plenty of homes around town.
Add in our hot, humid climate, regular thunderstorms rolling in off the Gulf, and the seasonal threat of tropical weather, and Franklin homes deal with conditions that wear out plumbing and electrical systems faster than systems in cooler, drier parts of the country. The high water table along Bayou Teche also creates real considerations for sewer lines, foundations, and below-grade plumbing work. Historic homes in Franklin require special care since modernizing systems while preserving the character of antebellum architecture takes experience.
We see all of it across Franklin, from the historic homes along Main Street to newer subdivisions on the outskirts of town, from the residential properties along Highway 90 to the commercial buildings serving the parish seat and the surrounding sugarcane country. The right plumbing and electrical service for a Franklin home means knowing what to look for in our specific climate and historic housing stock, not running through a generic checklist.
If any of those sound like your home,
call 337-364-2980 to schedule service.

About Plumbing and Electrical Service in Franklin

Franklin is the parish seat of St. Mary Parish, sitting along Bayou Teche and Highway 90, surrounded by sugarcane country. The town is known for its beautiful historic downtown lined with antebellum homes and a strong sense of Louisiana heritage. The homes in our service area reflect that mix. Many older homes near downtown Franklin and along Main Street have plumbing and electrical systems that date back decades, sometimes for over a century. Cast iron and clay sewer lines crack and shift over time, especially with the high water table along Bayou Teche. Galvanized water pipes corrode internally and reduce flow. Older electrical panels were never designed for modern AC systems, electric water heaters, EV chargers, or whole-home generators. Knob and tube and aluminum wiring is still in plenty of older Franklin homes. Modernizing these systems while preserving the character of historic homes takes experience, and our team has decades of it. We also work on newer Franklin subdivisions and commercial properties along Highway 90 and surrounding the courthouse area, where the work is more often install and remodel than rehab.
-
