Downey, CA has a rich history. It played a role in the Apollo space program and is home to the Columbia Memorial Space Center. But down here on the ground, it’s usually clogged drains - not rocket science - that bring daily life to a halt. One minute you’re rinsing dishes or taking a shower, and the next? Water’s pooling, nothing’s draining, and your whole routine hits pause.
That’s where Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach comes in. We’ve been clearing clogs and saving sinks all over Downey, from quiet neighborhoods near the Downey Theatre to the busy streets around Stonewood Center. Whether it’s a slow-draining tub or a full-on backup, we’ve got the tools, experience, and people to get things moving again, so you can get back to your day without the drama.
In a city where neighbors still wave hello and folks take pride in their homes, service matters. Downey residents don’t just want any plumber; they want someone who shows up, knows what they’re doing, and doesn’t leave a mess (or a mystery invoice). That’s us.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we’ve built our reputation on honesty, craftsmanship, and good old-fashioned respect. No drama. No hidden fees. Just reliable drain and plumbing solutions from a team that genuinely cares.
Here’s what sets us apart:
In short? We show up, do the job right, and leave you with clear drains and peace of mind.
Clogged drains are sneaky, as they usually start small. Maybe your sink drains a little slower than usual, or your shower leaves a puddle behind. Before you know it, the gurgling starts, the smell kicks in, and suddenly you’re Googling “how to unclog a drain” at midnight.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to deal with it alone.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we’ve seen and cleared it all. From hair-packed bathroom sinks to grease-loaded kitchen pipes and tree roots that invade your sewer line like they own the place, we’ve got the tools and skills to make it right.
Our drain clog solutions include:
We’ll always start with a full inspection so we know exactly what we’re dealing with. Then we’ll explain your options clearly; no upsells, no pressure. Just honest help and clean drains.
While we’re proud to be the go-to crew for clearing stubborn drains, plumbing is what we do - all of it. If it moves water in or out of your home (or should be and isn’t), we’ve got it covered.

Even if you’re not sure what’s wrong yet, give us a call. We’ll help you figure it out and point you in the right direction.

Jarod was very kind and professional, turns out my gas wasn't on and thats why my water heater wasn't working, which we figured out after he got here. The fee for just coming out here was quite steep, which might be something for the company to consider changing but otherwise good experience.
Randy did a great job unclogging my sewer drain he was helpful and showed me on camera where the issue was. He also gave good advice on what no to use to avoid another issue he was honest and helped me clean up the mess as well. Highly recommend Randy!!!
Sean did an amazing job! I appreciate him because I know it was a lot to do lol but he is very patient and pleasant. If I could give him a thousand stars I would. Thanks Sean :)
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was punctual and effective! They really worked wonders and were able to easily fix issues that felt unfixable. It’s so hard to find a plumber you can trust and I feel like I have finally found that with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. 10/10 would recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jonathan Mejia was professional, timely, and efficient. He arrived when promised, quickly assessed the issue, and got everything resolved without any hassle. His friendly attitude and clear communication made the entire experience stress-free. I would recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing based solely on Jonathan’s outstanding service. A great representative of what quality service should look like.
Cody was amazing. Came in, quoted the job and immediately had my toilet fixed . Extremely courteous , used his shoe covers cleaned up after himself. Great experience .
I am very pleased with the service. A plumber was sent right out and the problem waa taken care of quickly. I was informed throughout with what was happening. The plumber, Will, was very courteous and personable. Couldn't have asked for better!
Ben was my Technician and he was very good. Very professional, very up front about costs. Very thorough. I felt very comfortable with him doing what needed to be to be done to get my baths up and running again.
We were so satisfied with the service that we signed up for the membership plan, and it has been totally worth it! Our water heater failed last night, and they came out first thing this morning to take care of it. Excellent service, very professional, prompt, and transparent about the (pretty reasonable) pricing.
This is my new plumbing professional after waiting 4 days for my regular plumber. I called them Friday afternoon around 12 to see if they could help with my tankless water heater issue. They showed up around 3:30 and had a replacement unit installed by 6 pm. Extremely reasonable and courteous employees. My unit was under MFG warranty which they processed for me even though it was not purchased from them. I was so pleased I added their maintenance plan too for future service issues. We need to support this professional service company.
