24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Folly Beach homeowners facing burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and storm and tidal flooding, day or night, weekends and holidays.

Whole-Home Repiping & Pipe Repair
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping, the Lowcountry's salt air and humidity corrode pipe from the outside in, and the region's older and historic homes often have aging galvanized, polybutylene, lead, and corroded copper worth replacing, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair.
Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Slab leak detection and repair and whole-home leak detection, many Lowcountry homes are built on slabs and raised slabs, and we locate and repair hidden leaks under the slab and behind walls before they cause damage.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, a favorite in humidity-tight Lowcountry homes for endless hot water and a smaller footprint, plus recirculation for quick hot water.
Water Treatment
Water filtration, softening, and treatment, municipal Charleston-area water is moderately soft surface water, but island and rural wells bring iron, sulfur odor, sediment, and salt intrusion, and many homeowners want cleaner, better-tasting water; a water test shows what your home needs.
Wells & Well Pumps
Well pump and water pump service, for the many sea-island and rural-mainland homes on private wells, we install and repair well pumps, pressure tanks, and water pumps, paired with well-water treatment.
Aerobic Septic Systems
Septic and aerobic septic service, much of the Lowcountry outside city sewer is on septic, and the region's high water tables, tidal influence, and pluff-mud soils often call for aerobic systems; we install, service, and repair them and keep building lines flowing.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, sand, roots from the Lowcountry's grand live oaks, and buildup from sewer and septic lines.
Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Cleaning
Sewer line repair and replacement and sewer service, restoring aging sewer laterals, which corrode faster where saltwater and tidal flooding reach the pipes.
Storm, Sump & Flood Water
Sump pump and crawlspace drainage service, plus backflow and backwater protection, for the tidal “sunny-day” flooding, king tides, and hurricane rains that push water into low crawlspaces and yards across the Lowcountry.
Gas Lines
Gas line installation and repair and gas pipe leak repair for tankless heaters, ranges, generators (a Lowcountry storm essential), fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens and grills.
Pool Plumbing & Leak Detection
Pool pump and pool leak service and pool leak detection, for the many Lowcountry backyard pools, we service pumps and lines and find hidden leaks.
Boilers, Fixtures, Outdoor & Disposals
Boiler service where present, plus faucets, toilets, showers, garbage disposals, and outdoor plumbing and corrosion-resistant hose bibs and outdoor showers built for the coast.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the restaurants, shops, offices, rentals, and hospitality businesses across Charleston and the Lowcountry.

Folly Beach's oceanfront setting shapes its plumbing. Salt air and salt spray corrode fixtures, water heaters, and exposed pipes faster than anywhere inland, so corrosion-resistant fixtures, repiping, and regular maintenance matter. Most homes are raised on piers or pilings against flooding, which means exposed underside plumbing that can freeze on a rare cold snap and needs protection. The island's busy vacation rentals need fast, reliable service and water heaters sized for full houses, and storm surge, king tides, and hurricane rain are constant coastal concerns.

Folly Beach homes are built raised on piers and slabs, as a barrier island makes essential, not basements, so we service elevated and underside plumbing, outdoor showers, and slab leaks. Summers are hot and humid; winters are mild with the rare hard freeze that can burst exposed island pipe.

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
