Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Auburn

Every Auburn home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire east Alabama service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:

24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Auburn homeowners facing burst or leaking pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays.

Plumbing Repairs, Inspection & Installation
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, backed by professional inspection and diagnosis, with our trucks carrying thousands of parts to fix most issues in a single visit.
Slab Leak & Leak Detection
We offer slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection, leak repair, and pool leak detection. These services are vital where East Alabama's red clay soils shift beneath slab foundations and stress the pipes below.
Piping, Repiping & Water Lines
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and cast-iron systems and the failure-prone polybutylene common in 1980s–90s homes, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, a popular upgrade for endless hot water and energy savings in the Alabama heat.
Water Treatment & Softeners
Water softeners and filtration for hard water and, on the many private wells of the region, the iron, sulfur, sediment, and acidic (low-pH) water that corrodes pipe, improving taste, scale, and appliance life.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, buildup, and the tree roots that reach into lines beneath the region's mature canopy.
Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Trenchless
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options for root intrusion and the aging clay and cast-iron laterals stressed by shifting clay soils, often with minimal digging.
Boilers & Water Systems
Boiler service and water pump and sump pump work for the homes and systems that need them across the region.
Outdoor, Pool & Fixtures
Outdoor plumbing, pool pump service, and faucet, toilet, shower, bathtub, and garbage disposal repair and installation.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, offices, restaurants, campuses, and lake-resort businesses across Auburn, Opelika, and east Alabama.

Auburn's growth and its university shape its plumbing. Alongside established homes near the older neighborhoods and downtown, Auburn has a large stock of student rentals that see heavy use and often need repiping, fixture replacement, and prompt repairs. There’s also vast new subdivisions built during the city's rapid expansion, many in the polybutylene era, worth watching for pipe failures. The city draws surface water from Lake Ogletree and buys additional supply from Opelika, so treatment is about filtration and scale, while outlying homes on wells need iron, sulfur, or acid treatment.

Auburn's homes sit on slab and crawlspace foundations in the Piedmont's red-clay country, not basements. That clay shifts with the seasons, stressing the water and sewer lines beneath a slab, so slab leak detection and repair are a defining local service. Long, hot summers push water heaters hard, mature trees in the older neighborhoods send roots into aging sewer laterals, and campus-area and commercial properties rely on commercial plumbing.

Seasonal Plumbing in Auburn

Auburn plumbing follows the academic and Alabama calendar. Landlords must check rentals between tenants and before winter breaks so small leaks and freeze risks don't become disasters in an empty unit. Flush the water heater yearly. Watch for slab-leak signs as the clay shifts; and before a hard freeze, insulate exposed pipes.

Brennie Brackett

Made appointment to pinpoint leak in shower head. Turned out it was the valve which needed replacing. Hugo was great. Ordered it and returned the following day to install. He also shared information about flushing out our tankless water heaters and addressing excessive pressure coming into the house. We are checking with the builder before we schedule those additional jobs to see if there is any warranty on our home.

Mark Katzman

Hugo came on time. Fixed problem.

Donna

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

Rich Dunham

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Jim O'Callaghan

We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!

William Rosshirt

Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer

Justin Faulkner

Great communication when trying to schedule and when in route. Answered my questions and explained options before starting. Completed the work, verified it was fixed and cleaned the area when he was done. (Kitchen sink clog - more than 25’ from the sink)

William Whitehouse

Justin did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. I tried to do it myself and evidently it went up the vent at the T instead of going down into the clog. Hopefully it will not clogged again but if it does and I can't get it I will be calling again. This is the 2nd time I've used Ben Franklin Plumbing and am happy the the fast response and courtesy of the plumbers. I recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to anyone I know needing a plumber.

N Peterson

Chris is very upbeat and personable. He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and got everything done the same day that we needed repaired and replaced. I’m very pleased with his work and would highly recommend Chris for any future plumbing projects.

Jorge Hernandez

Jordan is amazing! He went out of his way to get the job done. Professional top-notch the best I’ve seen in a long time I would recommend and make sure you ask for Jordan.M

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are slab leaks common in Auburn?

Auburn sits on the Piedmont's red clay, which shifts with moisture, expanding when wet, contracting when dry, moving slab foundations and stressing the pipes beneath. That movement is a leading cause of slab leaks. We detect and repair them with minimal disruption.

I'm a landlord near campus. Can you help with rentals?

Yes. We handle repiping, fixture replacement, leak repair, and prompt service for student rentals, and can check units between tenants and before breaks to prevent problems in empty homes.

Should I repipe my Auburn home?

Older homes with galvanized or cast-iron pipe and 1980s–90s subdivisions with polybutylene both benefit from repiping. We inspect and recommend honestly.
