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.
So if your plumbing issues go beyond the bathroom sink, no worries, as we handle those too. Our full list of services for Downey, CA homeowners and businesses includes:
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.

Tanner was neat and very knowledgeable. He flushed the water heater, checked all toilets and sinks. We told him about a toilet issue and he was able to fix it while here saving us a fee. A very good company for your plumbing needs.
We had Christian from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing service come out to fix a leak in our home. He was patient, explained the procedure thoroughly, on time, and cleaned up the mess. We were pleased with his work.
Love the updates! Everything works perfectly!. The family is so thankful for the new complete water pipes lines, the new waterless tank, the toilet tank repair and most of all the new tub and tiles! The sink doesn’t backup anymore and the water taste so so much better! The metal taste is gone! The toilets don’t flush themselves anymore and the rattling of the pipes doesn’t exist anymore! Their master plumber is awesome; he’s worth every penny spent and more! Gerald, Ryan and team did beyond our family expectations! 5 stars
Quick response by a very knowledgeable plumber. Replaced an old garden hose bib in 2 hours after they were contacted. I will use them for all my plumbing needs.
José was very knowledgeable. He verified that the low flow problem with my old faucet was due to the faucet and not in the house plumbing before installing the new faucet that we had bought a couple of days earlier. My wife and I preferred the design of the new faucet, and José eliminated our worry that the new faucet might not fix the low flow problem. The new faucet is leak free and works great.
