Leslie Higley

James and Joe did an excellent job of changing out a corroded valve in our crawl space, as well as a problematic outdoor spigot. It was challenging situation due to the unusual setup of service lines to our house, but they got everything fixed for us. They were also very prompt and friendly. I highly recommend this company for plumbing needs!

Selvia Tomson

Just had a sewer backup in our home on the evening of Mother’s Day. Steven was WONDERFUL!! I cannot say enough good things about Benjamin Franklin and especially Steven. Right from the beginning, even the dispatcher was very pleasant and made a stressful situation better. Super quick, knowledgeable and thorough all around. Don’t hesitate to call these guys if you’re in need. You’ll be in great hands.

Scott did a great job of diagnosing and curing my AC problem. Tim likewise did a stellar job of installing my smart thermostat, walking me through the ap and making doubly sure everything was working correctly. Very impressed with knowledge and efficiency of both. Our new favorite HVAC group.

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Albany water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Albany, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Albany plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Albany home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Albany to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Albany?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Albany property?

For most homes in Albany, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.For most homes in Albany, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Albany?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Albany home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Albany home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Albany homes?

Older homes in Albany often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Albany?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Albany, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Albany?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your NY home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
