Dewey's rental and second-home market means plumbing here lives by the seasons. Properties get hammered with use all summer, multiple bathrooms, outdoor showers, and high hot-water demand, then sit empty and cold through winter, where an unattended frozen pipe can flood a unit before anyone notices. Winterizing, spring turn-ons, and freeze protection are central to what we do here.

The town's location on a sandy spit between ocean and bay means a very high water table and exposure to coastal storms and flooding, so sump pumps and flood-aware plumbing matter. Tankless water heaters are popular for rentals with heavy, intermittent demand, and outdoor showers are a universal beach-house feature we install, repair, and winterize.

Dewey Beach Local Insight

Seasonal Plumbing in Dewey Beach

Dewey lives and dies by the off-season. Before winter, have empty homes fully winterized, lines drained, outdoor showers and hose bibs cleared, fixtures protected, and know your shut-off. In spring, schedule a turn-on and inspection before the rental season. Summer demand makes a tankless upgrade and a pre-season check worthwhile.

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

Can you winterize my Dewey Beach rental or second home?

Yes. We winterize seasonal properties, draining lines, clearing outdoor showers and hose bibs, and protecting fixtures, and handle the spring turn-on, so an empty home doesn't freeze and flood.

My summer rental keeps running out of hot water, what helps?

A tankless water heater delivers continuous hot water for back-to-back showers and heavy rental use. We size and install them for Dewey's demand.

Do you install and repair outdoor showers?

Yes, outdoor showers are a Dewey staple, and we install, repair, and winterize them along with hose bibs and rinse stations.

Does my Dewey property need a sump pump?

On the low, sandy spit between ocean and bay, the water table is high and storms bring flooding, so sump pumps and flood-aware plumbing are often wise. We assess and recommend.
