Nolan is a very knowledgeable and skilled technician. He explain everything to me ( I am 70 years old with limited plumbing knowledge) and he did not leave until he was assured my new water heater was working perfectly. I enjoyed chatting with him as well. Probably the best experience I’ve had with an “emergency “ situation. I was impressed that he was able to arrive hours after my call and within a couple hours I had a brand new water heater. Cost was reasonable. This is the second time I have had a plumbing disaster and Ben Franklin Plumbing rescued me within hours.
Josue did a great job with fixing my water heater! I highly recommend Josue as he is very personable and very thorough!
I have used Ben Franklin for as long as the company has been in Ames. When I had a major repair a few years ago- installing new water service - Chris was part of the team. He made what might have been a bad experience into one that was as pleasant and efficient as it could have been. I have asked for him to be "my plumber" ever since. He is skilled, efficient, and unfailingly positive. Yesterday he installed a new sink and faucet in my new home, and gave me good advice on dealing with fixtures in the house I'll need to maintain. He's terrific!
This company really goes the extra mile. They hear within minutes of my call. Super friendly too! 10 out of 10 recommend!
Super fast! We called them and they had a plumber to our house and problem fixed within two hours of the phone call. Exceeded expectations.
