Don’t Flush Your Hard-Earned Money – Call the Professionals

One of those things you don’t think about until something goes wrong is your plumbing. Showers feel fantastic until the drain clogs. Running water is a modern convenience until pipes burst and your basement floods. Whether your plumbing issue is an emergency or a problem that can wait a little while, you understand the significance of correctly fixing the source to prevent anything from worsening. At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Lancaster, we’re not just in the plumbing business. We’re in the business of keeping your home and family comfortable and safe.

Our team offers solutions for nearly any plumbing repair, including:

  • Leaks
  • Drains
  • Pumps
  • Water Heaters
  • Garbage Disposals
  • Faucets
  • Showers
  • Bathtubs
  • Toilets
  • Sinks
  • Sewers
  • Pipes
  • Water Lines
  • Gas Lines

No matter what you’re dealing with, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to discuss your unique situation and provide an accurate diagnosis with viable repair options. Of course, in some cases, the repair isn’t cost-effective for you, which is when we recommend a replacement. Since this is our area of expertise, we’ll base our suggestions on what makes the most sense for your budget, needs, and preferences. And naturally, you’ll receive honest pricing before we begin any work so there’s never a surprise fee.

Signs That You Should Call for Plumbing Repairs

The best situations happen when you can schedule services in advance rather than be surprised with an emergency that throws off your routine. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of some common signs indicating it’s a good idea to call in a second opinion:

  • Water Damage – Look for weak spots in walls or flooring, mold growth, or dark patches.
  • Frequent Clogs – It’s normal for drains to clog occasionally, but if you’re finding repetition in the number of times you’re fighting the drain, there’s an underlying problem.
  • Discolored Water – If your water isn’t flowing clear (i.e., brown, yellow, or speckled with sediment), there’s likely a problem with your water heater or your pipes.
  • Unusual Odors – Your drains shouldn’t smell, so if they’re emitting a funky odor, there may be a problem with a drain or sewer line clog.
  • Knocking Sounds – If you hear a knocking sound from within your walls, there’s a strong chance that your pipes are loosening or undergoing pressure change that treatment ASAP.
  • Low Water Pressure – Several things lead to having less water pressure than usual, from clogs to leaks and burst pipes, which all require fast action.
  • General Issues – It’s a good idea to call for routine services to keep everything in proper working condition, even for seemingly small issues like steady drips or randomly running toilets.

Casey is a very polite young man. He did a great job. Only got a 4 star because we have more work to do. We will be in touch.

Nancy Neal

Jade came out on July 3rd because our water heater was leaking. Very professional and informative. We decided we wanted to replace the water heater and get a water softener installed. Sent a text to him Thursday night saying we changed our mind about the water softener. Jade arrived on Saturday and we told him we changed our mind again. No frustration from Jade. Just okay I got you. Even though he had to run back to the shop to get a softener. He was great during the whole installation and kept us up to date on the progress. Highly recommend Northern Ben Franklin, especially Jade.

Paige Hartmann

Chris was amazing coming out to Siesta Key at 6:30pm on July 4th to unclog a unit that I manage! He was thorough, professional and clean! Very happy with the result.

Kenneth Norwood

WOW! If there ever comes the time that you need professional plumbing repairs or plumbing service of any type, I would enthusiastically endorse Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. I have found plumbing issues are always emergencies, very seldom routine, and each and everytime I call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and a live dispatch professional picks up my call, completes a triage of my issue and schedules right then a professional plumber to race to my home for repairs. They have super talented plumbers and Paul and Noah responded to this call for assistance and were fantastic. They figured out what my issue was, actually had the parts required on their truck to do the job and immediately went to work and repaired my issue! They cleaned up their work area and were very respectful to my wife! Please consider Benjamin Franklin Plumbers, especially Paul and Noah anytime you need this professional service. 5 star all across the job! Thank you!

Adam Geller

Had an emergency over a holiday weekend, and no other company was available or even answered their phone. From the first person I spoke to on the phone, everyone communicated very clearly and attempted to help me out. Steve M.came out and was outstanding. He quickly assessed the issue and then got me up and running again. Steve was smart, explained everything he was doing, and was also just an all around funny and nice guy!

Jason Wilford

Our water heater went up on July 3rd, and Patrick was out there that afternoon to assess and give us a game plan. He came out again the Saturday the 5th to install a new electric heater to replace the old propane one. Very helpful, courteous, answered some other questions we had, as we just moved in 6 weeks ago. Prompt, knowledgeable And didn't try to sell you anything you didn't need. I'd recommend Patrick and this company to my friends and family if they come across a similar situation.

Bill Sowell

On a recommendation from our builder, we started using Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and couldn’t be happier. Matt Thrift just replaced our 18-year old tankless hot water heater and was prompt, courteous and professional. They kept us informed throughout the entire process.
