I was having issues with my drains and had them snaked. Mike was the plumber that came to service them. He was very professional and did a great job. He was like some zen master that was able to the work by sound and feel...and my cat absolutely loved him. Highly recommended!

Hildegard Pascoe
Jacob was very personable and knowledgeable about what we need to have done. Update: He was on time on the arranged date and did a great job installing our toilet and three new faucets. Would very much recommend him and the company. P.S. They gave us a military discount which was very much appreciated.

The most pristine, versatile mechanically skilled plumber Mr. Shawn Bowen of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing arrived at my home after my call for their plumbing services. Thus, no work was required, Mr. Shawn provided extremely helpful advice for the possibilities any future issues. Mr. Bowen’s curtesy, knowledge and attentiveness, with certainty, has earned my respect and reliance of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing services.

Jonathan was a delight. He let me know what was going on step by step. My pipe was frozen, the temps were freezing, he was pleasant and had a smile on his face. The price I paid also included a down payment to schedule a return to insulate the pipe against future freezes. He was a blessing!
Michelle Fletcher
Casey and Jack came out two days in a row for a frozen ditch line pipe and sump pump issue. They worked diligently and quickly. They were respectful, explaining every step; oftentimes, repeating what they were doing so my elderly mother understood. In addition to their customer service and work ethic, they have been to our home on previous service calls and have a relationship with my mother which keeps down her anxiety. Those two fellas should be commended on superb service!
Lynn Dillon
James was absolutely fantastic. On time and finished quickly. Very knowledgeable and explained everything we needed done and how he could complete it. We will be using James and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for all our needs!
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.
