Ames Lake is known for its peaceful wooded lots and beautiful waterfront views. But with that natural charm comes a fair share of plumbing challenges. Long, rainy winters can lead to water intrusion around foundations. Tree root intrusion from mature Douglas firs and cedars is a common cause of sewer line damage. Freeze-thaw cycles affect pipes in uninsulated crawl spaces and garages. Some properties still run on well and septic systems, and many older homes have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes that degrade without warning. Whether you live lakeside or tucked back in the trees, we bring reliable solutions right to your door.
Some plumbing services are straightforward. Others show up uninvited at 2 a.m. Either way, it’s really nice to have a plumbing company in your corner that knows the area, respects your time, and shows up ready.

We had an old, barely functioning kitchen faucet replaced. The plumber (Brandon) was very professional and left the area very clean and dry. He also noticed some quirks in the plumbing in our 85 year old house (which also explained a water pressure issue we’d been having), letting us know what could be done to address it (& how much it might cost), should we choose to do something about.

Hi Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Team, Thank you for following up regarding my basement drain issue. When we spoke a few days ago, I decided not to move forward with your services due to my budget. However, I want to express how much I appreciate your team's patience, kindness, and professionalism. The fact that you reached out today just to make sure my issue was resolved—even after knowing I chose another option—really stands out. If I could leave a six-star review, I would! Thank you again for your exceptional customer service.

Ethan was excellent right from start to finish! He was punctual, analyzed the problem, wrote up an estimate of cost and time required and completed as quoted. He was extremely polite, communicated as project progressed as well upon completion. I would definitely request Ethan for future work and highly recommend him.

Brandon was amazing - knowledgeable, timely, professional, and even checked in after the initial visit to make sure things were working properly. I will absolutely call again for future plumbing needs. Thank you!

I have known and worked with John for many years. Recently, we had a major leak involving a failed water heater. John replaced it and also arranged and coordinated removal of water damaged drywall as well its replacement prior to installation of the new water heater. We are pleased with the outcome and appreciated his dependability and reasonable price.

I called Benjamin Franklin to do a couple repairs that I needed in my home and also a water heater installation . They were great, very professional and knowledgeable. They were very detailed about the work and their prices match the work ethic! I would definitely recommend them to anyone that’s in need of any plumbing issues or any installation!
Ingrid Coyle
These guys were great, very friendly and courteous, showed up on time. I looked them up prior and they have a very good reputation. They’ve been in business for many years. Definitely would recommend to check them out for any of your local plumbing.
Flush the tank once a year to remove sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve for rust or leaks, and confirm the thermostat is set to around 120°F. In Ames Lake, minerals in the water can accelerate buildup, so annual flushing extends heater life significantly. Schedule a professional inspection every 2 to 3 years to catch problems before they become failures.
If low pressure affects every faucet in the house, it usually points to a water main issue, corroded pipes, or a pressure regulator failure. If it is limited to one fixture, try cleaning the aerator first. If that does not help or pressure drops suddenly across the home, call a licensed plumber in Ames Lake before the problem gets worse
For most Ames Lake homes, annual drain cleaning is enough to prevent clogs, odors, and backups. If your property has older pipes or large trees nearby, every 6 months is better. Homes on private septic systems may need more frequent service
Yes. We work with multiple lenders to help Ames Lake homeowners manage the cost of unexpected plumbing repairs. Ask your technician about financing options when they arrive.
Low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets reduce household water use meaningfully without affecting performance. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand instead of keeping a full tank hot around the clock. A smart leak detector can catch drips early before they become costly. We can recommend the right options based on your home's setup.
Older Ames Lake homes frequently deal with corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure from scale buildup, and sewer line deterioration from tree root intrusion. Outdated fixtures, undersized water heaters, and missing pressure regulators are also common. A plumbing inspection gives you a clear picture of what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages, and unheated areas before temperatures drop. Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses and shut off the exterior hose bib valve from inside. Know where your main water shutoff is. If you leave for an extended period, keep the heat at 55°F minimum. For waterfront properties, extra insulation near exterior walls is especially important. Call us if you have a frozen pipe emergency.
The most common signs are frequent drain clogs across multiple fixtures, foul sewer odors inside or outside the home, soggy patches in your yard, and gurgling sounds from toilets when you run a sink. Any of these warrants a sewer camera inspection. Catching a damaged sewer line early prevents full collapse, which costs significantly more to repair
