Danbury's water comes largely from the City of Danbury Water Department, which draws on a network of reservoirs, including Margerie, West Lake, Padanaram, and Kohanza, and a well field, treated at the city's own plants. Parts of the area are served by Aquarion Water Company, while many homes in outer Danbury rely on private bedrock wells, which can carry hardness, iron, manganese, and the naturally occurring arsenic, uranium, and radon found in Connecticut's crystalline bedrock. For those homes, testing and the right treatment matter.

Danbury's housing is the most varied in the area: the historic Hat City neighborhoods have older homes that may carry galvanized, cast-iron, or lead-era plumbing, candidates for repiping and lead service line replacement, alongside mid-century and newer suburbs, condos, and apartments. New England winters bring hard freezes and frozen-pipe risk, full basements near the Still River and area wetlands benefit from sump pumps, and the city's mall, downtown, university, and corporate corridor rely on dependable commercial plumbing.

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

Where does Danbury's water come from?

Most of the city is served by the City of Danbury Water Department from its reservoirs and well field; parts of the area are on Aquarion; and outer-Danbury homes are often on private wells. We work with all of them, including well-water testing and treatment.

My historic Danbury home has old pipes, should I repipe?

Possibly. Older Hat City homes may have galvanized, cast-iron, or lead-era pipe and service lines. If you see rusty water, low pressure, or repeated leaks, we inspect and recommend repiping or water-line replacement honestly.

Do you treat well water in the Danbury area?

Yes. Connecticut bedrock wells can carry hardness, iron, manganese, arsenic, uranium, and radon, and the water is often acidic. After a water test, we install the right filtration, neutralizer, or softener.

Do you handle commercial plumbing in Danbury?

Yes. As the area's largest city, Danbury has a mall, downtown, university, and corporate corridor, and we provide commercial plumbing with 24/7 emergency response.
