Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Clear Lake Shores

Every Clear Lake Shores home has access to our full range of plumbing services, and each service links to the brand page with full details:

24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Clear Lake Shores homeowners facing burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and slab leaks. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays.

Slab Leak Detection & Repair
We offer slab leak detection and repair and whole-home leak detection. Nearly every home here sits on a concrete slab over expansive Beaumont “gumbo” clay, among the most reactive in the country. It swells and shrinks with our wet/dry cycles and stresses the pipes beneath the slab. We pinpoint hidden leaks with acoustic and pressure testing and repair them before they undermine your foundation.
Hard Water Treatment
Water softeners, filtration, and treatment for the hard Gulf-coast water that scales fixtures and pipes and shortens water heater life, from softeners to whole-home filtration. A water test shows exactly what your home needs.
Cast-Iron Sewer Replacement & Trenchless
We offer sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless sewers. Many older homes have cast-iron drain lines under the slab that corrode, crack, and form low “bellies.” We camera-inspect, hydro-jet, and repair or replace them, often without digging up the whole slab.
Water Heaters & Tankless
We do water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems. Many area homes have water heaters in the attic, where an old tank failing can flood the ceiling below, so timely replacement and tankless upgrades are popular. Ask about our current water heater offer.
Whole-Home Repiping & Pipe Repair
We also offer pipe repair and whole-home repiping. Decades of clay movement and hard-water corrosion pinhole aging copper, so we repipe in durable PEX. Plus, we do water service line and leaking pipe repair, including burst and frozen-pipe repair after a hard Gulf-coast freeze.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and roots, and diagnosing the sewer “bellies” that clay movement creates under Gulf-coast slabs.
Storm, Surge & Backwater Protection
Backwater and drain protection and backflow devices. The Bay Area sits low along Galveston Bay and Clear Creek, where hurricanes, storm surge, and tidal flooding (as with Ike and Harvey) push water toward homes. We install backwater valves and backflow protection to keep storm water and sewer surcharge out.
Gas Lines
We can help with gas line installation and repair. We install, repair, and safely cap gas lines for water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, generators, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens, tested by licensed professionals.
Leak Detection, Pools, Fixtures & More
We also do leak detection (including pool leak detection and pool pumps), plus faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, garbage disposals, boilers where present, and outdoor plumbing.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, offices, restaurants, marinas, and businesses across the Bay Area and southeast Houston.

Clear Lake Shores's waterfront setting shapes its plumbing. Homes here sit on concrete slabs over expansive Beaumont “gumbo” clay, among the most reactive in the country. The high water table right along the lake and canals keeps the ground moving, so slab leaks and foundation movement are common. Older homes have cast-iron drains under the slab that corrode and belly. Living on the water brings its own needs. Outdoor plumbing and hose bibs are exposed to humid, salt-tinged bay air. Water heaters, often in the attic, should be replaced before they fail and flood the ceiling. Storm-season protection is also crucial, since this low, bayfront community faces hurricane surge and Clear Creek tidal flooding, as Ike and Harvey made clear. Hard Gulf-coast water scales fixtures and shortens water heater life, so softening and treatment are popular.

Clear Lake Shores homes are built on concrete slabs, with some raised along the water, over expansive Gulf-coast clay. In the bay area, this construction is standard, unlike the basements typical in colder markets. As a result, slab-leak detection and under-slab sewer work are important. Storm and backwater protection replace any need for basement sump systems. Summers are long, hot, and humid. Winters are mild but bring the occasional hard freeze that bursts exposed and attic pipes.

Seasonal Plumbing in Clear Lake Shores

Clear Lake Shores plumbing follows the Gulf-coast calendar. In summer droughts, water the foundation evenly to limit slab movement. Have hard water treated to protect the water heater. Before hurricane season, check backwater and surge protection and know your shut-off. Before a hard freeze, wrap exposed and attic 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 do slab leaks happen in Clear Lake Shores?

Homes here sit on concrete slabs over expansive Beaumont clay. The high water table along the lake and canals keeps the ground moving, stressing the pipes beneath the slab until they leak. We locate and repair slab leaks with acoustic and pressure testing.

My water heater is in the attic. Should I replace it before it fails?

Often, yes. An old attic tank that bursts can flood the ceiling below. We replace tank heaters and install tankless systems, and check the drain pan and shut-off, exactly the kind of work our customers thank us for.

Can you help protect my waterfront home from storm flooding?

Yes. This low, bayfront area faces hurricane surge and Clear Creek tidal flooding. We install backwater valves and backflow protection to help keep storm water and sewer surcharge out of your home.
