vince Brown

Cameron was very thorough and educated me on all my options. Excellent service.

LISA NAFFIS

Clayton and Cam are the Best ! I felt special too because the big boss came by to double check and make sure I was happy with the work being done. They answer your calls right away also. I mentioned about pipes breaking, Clayton informed me, there had been a class action lawsuit, Was an easy decision to replace All pipes, and Tankless water heater, works great! Me having a 3 story house and abundance of sinks ! They got the job done on a tight time line. They cleaned and mopped up took away all debris. Both guys were very pleasant to have in my home and I would refer them to everyone! Clayton answered my call after they left to assure me the water flow may need to be adjusted. I am so thankful for these guys!

Michael Kilbride

Friendly and very knowledgeable. I’d recommend him to anyone needing a good plumber.

Chris King

Responded quickly and fixed my leak

Heidi S.

Kyle was fantastic. My water heater started leaking and it was about 20 years old, so it was definitely time for a replacement. Kyle arrived right on time, explained everything clearly, and answered all of my questions without rushing. The whole process was smooth and professional, and I’m very happy with the new installation and the service overall. Highly recommend!

Ronald Chappell

I am very pleased with the repair of my sewer line by Aaron Preston and his team. The bid was far below the other competition and then with the money saved I had him replace both bathtubs faucets. And still was cheaper than Bud's bid. We are happy to have Benjamin Franklin as our new plumbers

Jeanne Lafoe

Both Ilija and Dylan were great! Ilija first came as we did not have hot water. He handled that problem efficiently and then checked all 4 bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. Ilija identified quite a number of items that needed replacement and since our home is older it was very good to be made aware of those issues. Dylan then came a couple of days later and fixed all of the problems in one day! He worked all day and did an excellent job while treating our home with respect and went above and beyond to help us. Excellent company and Ilija and Dylan both super!!

Berry C

We had a water leak; Ben Franklin responded quickly and repaired the leak on February 2, 2026. The 1st technician noticed a few other areas of concern. This being are secondary home, we thought it a good idea to have these issues addressed. We scheduled the balance of the repairs to be completed on another date. The 2nd technician repaired the balance of the issues. Both Kevin and Marshall were on time and great to interact with! We did have a stumble on the billing side, but this matter was resolved with a call to Elliott. Thank you to all!

Dan Miller

Steve was great and had more than enough expertise to assess our issue and get it quickly resolved. Had the parts needed and was professional throughout. Ben Franklin is our plumber of choice because of one great experience after another.

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Excelsior water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Excelsior, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Excelsior plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Excelsior home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Excelsior to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Excelsior?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Excelsior property?

For most homes in Excelsior, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Excelsior?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Excelsior home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Excelsior home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Excelsior homes?

Older homes in Excelsior often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Excelsior?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Excelsior, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Excelsior?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
