Lisa Lewandowski

Anthony was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and careful when working so as to not make a mess. He made sure we were happy with his work before leaving. We will definitely request him again if we have any further issues

John Wilkening

Fast and friendly service. Victor was easy to work with. He was professional and honest. He came on a Saturday which was appreciated. 10 out of would definitely recommend!

Tina Huff

We scheduled an appointment online on the Friday after Thanksgiving and received a call back right away. The representative explained the cost for a last‑minute Friday visit, but we decided to book for Monday instead. She also provided suggestions in the meantime concerning the leak. On Monday, the team arrived during the timeframe discussed with my husband which was around 10am, inspected the house, and explained their plan before starting the work. They replaced all of our copper pipes and had everything completed by 5 p.m. Before leaving, they carefully inspected their work, checked all the water lines, and made sure everything was functioning. The communication was clear, the work was thorough, and the professionalism great. Overall, we’re very satisfied with the service and would recommend them to anyone needing plumbing work done.

Brian Eldridge

Great job from Steve. He is very professional. Came out on a Saturday to install our kitchen faucet that suddenly fell apart. Thanks For the quality service

Anna Pieper

Great company and service!!!!. We started having trouble with our hot water- we inherited this tankless water heater- and it took some time for us to diagnose the problem. However, once we got in touch with Benjamin Franklin plumbing, they were phenomenal. Great communication, super quick response time, And they come service on the weekends! Brock was professional, kind and super helpful! He diagnosed the problem and ran through several options, before helping us navigate and make a plan. Matt was also great, he was professional, communicative, friendly and efficient. Both gentlemen resolved what could have been a much bigger problem with ease and efficiency. 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Rose Guzman

Thank you, for coming on out and helping me with this issue. I have been having issues with my property management on handling this and it has created some problems with my COPD. U came out same day and started to get the job done one that same day. I truly am grateful and will recommend you to everyone I know with any plumbing issues One happy customer

Nathan P

Overall I think Matt and Daunte did a great job. They were friendly and got everything setup in quick order. My only complaint was about the price of the job. They informed of the price when they were here and were upfront about it but I do think the company over charges for the a fairly simple project. Which is not the employees fault.

Malinda Cayton

I cannot say enough positive things about Chris Austin resolving our plumbing issue of low water pressure in our townhouse. He arrived on time, quickly identified the problem part, explained what needed to be done, accomplished the task, and problem solved. It was like pressing the easy button, and I will definitely be calling again for any future plumbing issues. Thank you Chris and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Raleigh for fair pricing and excellent service!

Five stars for Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Their team provided prompt, reliable service, and the heating repair was completed with exceptional professionalism. I am highly satisfied and would confidently recommend their services👍

Erin Petricca

Matthew Tacia was here today and did excellent work, as always. I’m so happy to have this company as our go to plumbing company. It is not always easy to find companies you can trust and do high quality work. Matthew did a thorough cleaning of our sump pump, and fixed some pipe work for us. I’m glad he was here, because he also found a leak I hadn’t noticed until he pointed it out. He also cleaned out a drain we needed taken care of. I can always count on everything being cleaned up after the work is done as well. We recommended this company to friends of ours from church, and they were also very happy with Josh, who did the work for them.

Plumbing FAQs

What plumbing problems are common for lakeside homes in Forest Lake, MN?

Homes near the water in Forest Lake often deal with high groundwater, sump pump strain during storms, and outside lines that see more freezing and thawing. Older cabins and remodeled properties can also have mixed pipe materials and long drain runs that clog more easily. A Forest Lake plumber from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of North Metro can check sump pumps, outdoor spigots, and main drains to be sure your plumbing can handle lake living and seasonal weather.

How can I tell if my Forest Lake home has hard water that might affect my plumbing?

Signs of hard water include white or chalky buildup on faucets and shower doors, dry skin and hair, dull laundry, and short water heater life. You may also notice scale around the bases of fixtures or a drop in flow from aerators. If you see these symptoms in your Forest Lake home, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of North Metro can test your water and go over filtration or softening options that protect pipes, appliances, and fixtures.

What should I do right away if a pipe bursts in my Forest Lake house?

Shut off the main water valve as quickly as you can and, if safe, switch off power to rooms where water is pooling on the floor. Move valuables, rugs, and electronics out of standing water and place buckets or towels to control spreading. Once the flow is stopped, contact Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of North Metro so a licensed plumber can repair the break, check for hidden damage, and help you get your Forest Lake home dried out and safe.

How can I lower the risk of basement flooding during heavy rain in Forest Lake?

Keeping gutters and downspouts clear, grading soil so water flows away from the foundation, and installing or maintaining a reliable sump pump are key steps. In parts of Forest Lake with higher water tables, a backup sump pump and regular testing give extra protection. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of North Metro can inspect your discharge line, pump capacity, and floor drains to make sure the system is ready before the next big storm.

Is it worth replacing an older water heater in a Forest Lake home that still works?

If your water heater is close to or past its expected life span and you notice rumbling noises, rusty water, or inconsistent hot water, replacement is often more cost effective than repeated repairs. Newer units usually heat more efficiently, which can help with energy bills in Forest Lake, MN. A plumber from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of North Metro can check the tank, explain options, and help you decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

How can regular plumbing checkups help Forest Lake homeowners avoid emergencies?

Annual or seasonal plumbing visits allow a professional to spot small leaks, worn shutoff valves, loose toilets, and slow drains before they fail. In Forest Lake, where winter and lake moisture both stress plumbing systems, these inspections can catch issues behind walls or near the foundation early. When Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of North Metro reviews your system, you get a clear picture of priorities so you can plan repairs before they turn into a late night emergency.
