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!

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.
In many homes, the main shutoff is near the water meter, along an exterior wall, or where the main line enters the house. Turn the handle clockwise to stop the water (or rotate a lever valve a quarter turn so it is perpendicular to the pipe). If the valve is stuck, leaking, or hard to reach, a licensed plumber can replace it so you can shut water off quickly when you need to.
Most wipes do not break down like toilet paper, so they can build up in drain lines and cause clogs over time. If you want fewer backups, stick to toilet paper only and keep wipes, paper towels, and hygiene products out of the toilet.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage some pipes and seals, and they can make a blockage harder to clear if the product sits in the line. If a plunger and simple mechanical cleaning (like a small drain snake) does not solve the problem, it is usually smarter to call a plumber for professional drain cleaning.
That banging is often water hammer, which happens when flowing water stops suddenly and the pressure jolts the pipes. Fixes can include securing loose pipes, adjusting water pressure, or adding water hammer arrestors. A plumber can pinpoint the cause and stop the noise before it leads to leaks.
Cloudy water is often trapped air in the line and typically clears after a minute. Discoloration can also happen when plumbing is disturbed or sediment gets stirred up. If the issue keeps happening, affects multiple fixtures, or comes with an odor or taste change, it is a good idea to have a local plumber inspect the plumbing system.
If the home is older, has had recent renovations, or you notice slow drains, stains, or past leak repairs, a plumbing inspection can help you avoid surprises after closing. An inspection typically checks visible supply lines, drains, fixtures, shutoff valves, and signs of hidden problems.
High pressure can stress pipes, hoses, and fixtures, and it can shorten the life of appliances. A quick first step is to use a pressure gauge on an outdoor spigot to see if the pressure seems excessive. If it is consistently high, a plumber may recommend adjusting or installing a pressure-reducing valve to protect your plumbing.
Backflow protection helps keep contaminated water from flowing back into clean water lines, especially with irrigation systems, hose bibbs, or certain plumbing setups. Requirements vary by area and system type, so the safest approach is to have a licensed plumber confirm what applies to your property and handle any needed testing or installation. If you want help from a local team, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing can walk you through the options without making it complicated.
