Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Gholson

Every Gholson home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire greater Waco service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:

24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Gholson homeowners facing burst or frozen pipes, slab leaks, sewer or septic backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays, with no after-hours fees.

Plumbing Repairs
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems with our plumbers trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, roots, and buildup in lines shifted by the area's expansive clay soil.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, popular in the area's new construction.
Slab Leaks & Leak Detection
We also offer non-destructive leak detection and slab leak repair. The Blackland Prairie's expansive clay shifts slab foundations and the pipes within them, making slab leaks common, and we pinpoint them before we cut into anything.
Water Softeners & Treatment
Water softeners and filtration for the hard water common across Central Texas, from Waco's Lake Waco surface supply to the Trinity Aquifer groundwater that serves rural wells.
Well & Water Pumps
Well and water pump service and pressure-tank work for the rural McLennan County homes that rely on private wells.
Sewer & Septic-Aware Service
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options, plus drain and waste-line work tailored to the area's many septic-connected homes.
Piping, Repiping & Lead Service Lines
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and cast-iron systems, plus service line and lead-era line replacement in older Waco homes.
Freeze & Storm Protection
Frozen pipe prevention and repair after hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri, plus backwater valves, drainage, and sump pumps where heavy rain and low-lying ground call for them.
Outdoor Plumbing
Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation lines, and outdoor connections.
Fixtures, Faucets, Toilets, Showers, Tubs & Disposals
Faucets, toilets, showers, bathtubs, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for greater Waco's businesses, the Baylor University area, downtown, and the I-35 corridor.

Gholson's rural setting means most homes rely on private wells and septic systems, so well and water-pump service is a core local need. The region's hard groundwater makes treatment and softening worthwhile. Sitting on the Blackland Prairie's expansive clay, Gholson homes face the slab movement that causes slab leaks, making non-destructive leak detection a defining local service.

Septic systems are the norm on Gholson's larger lots and farms, shaping how we handle drain and waste-line issues. Homes range from older farmhouses to newer rural builds. Its setting near the Brazos River can add drainage and flood considerations in heavy rain, and the occasional hard freeze can burst exposed and long pipe runs far from town.

Seasonal Plumbing in Gholson

Country homeownership rewards routine. Test your well water and keep treatment and the pressure tank maintained. If you're on septic, mind what enters the system. Watch for slab leaks as the clay shifts, check drainage near the river before storms, and before winter, protect exposed pipes from the occasional hard freeze.

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
