Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Ocean City has solved countless plumbing problems throughout our communities, but there’s one reason customers trust us with their homes and businesses: because we also provide excellent customer experiences. What does it mean to provide a good customer experience when your job is being a professional problem-solver? Isn’t the ‘result’ the only thing that matters?
With our Berlin plumbing experts, you get the best of both worlds: a local and familiar team backed by a trusted national service. Because Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Ocean City is an independently owned and operated business, you’ll never be more than a phone call away from the owner—which is how we can get things done so quickly!
Every one of our customers is a neighbor, a friend, or someone we’ve seen around town. That’s really what sets us apart from both independent plumbers and national chain businesses. We’ve got the skills, resources, and prices of a national business, but with all the warm and neighborly service people have come to expect from us.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, our Berlin plumbers take a different approach. Instead, we promise to respect your time by showing up for our appointment window. We take punctuality so seriously that we pay our customers $5 for every minute we’re late (up to $300). When we show up, we thoroughly inspect the plumbing problem to get a full view of the issue, then we offer an honest price based on our Straightforward Pricing Guide.
Once you approve the price, we get to work. With a fully stocked work van, our plumbers can repair 90% of problems on the spot. Our highly trained plumbers carry out repairs that exceed the highest industry standards for durability, safety, and reliability. Don’t take our word for it—we back up our repairs with a two-year 100% satisfaction guarantee.

It’s rare to find such a professional and helpful team. Don is fantastic to deal with, and Cam is equally impressive. They are both genuinely good, stand-up guys who go out of their way to be kind. Highly recommend them based on character alone!"
Kevin Ryan
This is the second time in two weeks that we’ve called these guys for a plumbing need. They came out the same day and replaced the house PRV, which also fixed at least one other plumbing leak in the house. Cam is friendly, professional, and fast. We will continue to use these guys for future Plumbing needs.

I was at home. The company was quick to respond and the service was great!

Kyle was fantastic. My water heater started leaking and it was about 20 years old, so it was definitely time for a replacement. Kyle arrived right on time, explained everything clearly, and answered all of my questions without rushing. The whole process was smooth and professional, and I’m very happy with the new installation and the service overall. Highly recommend!
Ronald Chappell
I am very pleased with the repair of my sewer line by Aaron Preston and his team. The bid was far below the other competition and then with the money saved I had him replace both bathtubs faucets. And still was cheaper than Bud's bid. We are happy to have Benjamin Franklin as our new plumbers
Jeanne Lafoe
Both Ilija and Dylan were great! Ilija first came as we did not have hot water. He handled that problem efficiently and then checked all 4 bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. Ilija identified quite a number of items that needed replacement and since our home is older it was very good to be made aware of those issues. Dylan then came a couple of days later and fixed all of the problems in one day! He worked all day and did an excellent job while treating our home with respect and went above and beyond to help us. Excellent company and Ilija and Dylan both super!!

We had a water leak; Ben Franklin responded quickly and repaired the leak on February 2, 2026. The 1st technician noticed a few other areas of concern. This being are secondary home, we thought it a good idea to have these issues addressed. We scheduled the balance of the repairs to be completed on another date. The 2nd technician repaired the balance of the issues. Both Kevin and Marshall were on time and great to interact with! We did have a stumble on the billing side, but this matter was resolved with a call to Elliott. Thank you to all!
Dan Miller
Steve was great and had more than enough expertise to assess our issue and get it quickly resolved. Had the parts needed and was professional throughout. Ben Franklin is our plumber of choice because of one great experience after another.
Jordan Correa
Kyle was super helpful and knowledgeable. He not only installed our new garbage disposal with quality but he answered any questions we had and explained any process with us. I highly recommend him Benjamin Franklin plumbing.
To keep your water heater running smoothly in Berlin, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.
If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Berlin home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Berlin to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.
We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.
For most homes in Berlin, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.
We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.
Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Berlin home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.
Older homes in Berlin often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.
To get your plumbing ready for winter in Berlin, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.
Signs of a damaged sewer line in your home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
