bluefrog Plumbing + Drain has opened its first Louisiana location in Belle Chasse.

Owned and operated by president and GM Manny Mitten, the new bluefrog Plumbing + Drain location will offer residents in the greater New Orleans metropolitan area a fix for their plumbing needs.

“It's always exciting when we enter a new state,” said Mark Dawson, CEO of bluefrog Plumbing + Drain. “Especially when you've got an experienced owner like Manny. He's been a trusted plumber for years, and we knew he was a good fit for opening the first bluefrog franchise in Louisiana because he's bottom-line driven, customer-service oriented, and has a passion for community involvement—all values we look for when establishing a new franchise location.”

Mitten, a 15-year construction plumbing veteran, saw the need for a home service plumbing company in the area that could deliver more than the Rooters of the world.

“Once I saw the passion that every one of the bluefrog corporate team members had, I knew I had chosen the right company to partner with,” said Mitten. “We plan to give residents in New Orleans a rare, customer-oriented plumbing company that focuses on timeliness, safety, professionalism, consideration and transparent value.
