Plumbing Services in Highlands, TX: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Baytown and Dayton

Your Trusted Highlands Plumber

Highlands is an established community on the San Jacinto River just west of Baytown in Harris County. It’s a tight-knit, working-class area with deep roots, riverside neighborhoods, and a mix of older and newer homes. Its river setting and mature housing give Highlands a distinctive plumbing profile, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Baytown and Dayton serves it on time, every time.

On time, every time: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.

Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Highlands

Every Highlands home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Baytown and Dayton 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 Highlands homeowners facing burst or frozen pipes, slab leaks, well-pump failures, sewer or septic backups, storm flooding, 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 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 Gulf Coast'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 Treatment & Softeners: Water softeners and filtration for the hard Gulf Coast water (Baytown averages about 7.9 grains per gallon) and the iron and sulfur common in area well water.
Well Pumps & Water Systems: Well pump repair and replacement and pressure-tank service for the many rural Liberty and Chambers County homes 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, polybutylene, and cast-iron systems, plus service line and lead-era line replacement in older homes.
Freeze & Storm Protection: Pipe insulation and freeze-proofing after hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri, plus backwater valves, drainage, and sump pumps against hurricane and heavy-rain flooding.
Outdoor Plumbing: Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation lines, and outdoor connections.
Fixtures, Faucets, Toilets, Showers & Disposals: Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial & Industrial Plumbing: Commercial plumbing service for the Baytown and Mont Belvieu petrochemical and refining corridor, plus area businesses, restaurants, and retail.

The Highlands Plumbing Landscape

Sitting along the San Jacinto River, Highlands faces real flood risk. Heavy rain and hurricanes have hit the area hard, so backwater valves, drainage, and sump pumps for low-lying lots matter here. Like the rest of the region, Highlands sits on expansive clay that shifts slab foundations and the pipes within them, making slab leaks common, while its older homes may carry aging galvanized or cast-iron lines worth repiping.

Highlands' water is hard, like the broader Baytown area, so softeners and filtration are worthwhile, and some properties on the rural edges rely on private wells and septic. Summers are hot and humid, driving heavy water use, and the occasional hard winter freeze can burst the uninsulated pipes common in a climate that rarely sees one.

Seasonal Plumbing in Highlands

Highlands' river setting makes storm readiness key. Before hurricane season, check drainage and any backwater valve given the San Jacinto's flood history. Before winter, insulate exposed pipes against the occasional hard freeze. Flush the water heater yearly for the hard water, and watch for slab leaks as the clay shifts.

Natasha Hart

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is a company I would recommend to anyone looking for a prompt, concise and professional plumbing experience. The workers are incredibly kind and thorough with their explanations and cost breakdowns which makes moving forward with them a breeze!

Kathleen Weir

Called at 8:30 - Benjamin Franklin Plumbing arrived at 11:15! Problem solved by noon! Friendly and competent service!

Saqib Baig

I wanted to share my appreciation for the excellent service Brandon and his team provided. Brandon arrived on time, responded quickly, and handled the work with professionalism, friendliness, and care. What stood out most was the speed and convenience of the service. Brandon assessed the leakage damage, cleaned the spout, scraped away the old caulk, reinstalled the area, and sealed it properly for waterproofing. Please extend my thanks to Brandon and his team for their reliable work and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend their service and will call again for future needs.

Whitley Bilek

The owner is very detailed and does his research! He wants to ensure everyone gets the best possible. Through his top of class hiring and extensive attention to detail, the Madison area has a great option with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for all of their plumbing needs!

Michael Lamond

I randomly found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing via a general Google search. I needed to have some work done on a shower in my home and I don't have a go to for plumbing. When I called I was met by the kind and helpful voice of Renee who put me on their schedule, and then followed up when an earlier opening presented itself, she ACTUALLY called me on the phone to try and update me. This was cool. Eric, their service technician came by my home and quickly assessed that Id actually need a contractor. He took video and found a contractor and SENT ME THE CONTRACTORS INFO. I told Renee afterwards that I hope I never need a plumber but if I do they will be my first call from here on out.

TERRY MCKEE

Very impressive people to be around.

Cheri Carver

Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.

Brenda George

Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!

Cynthia V. Bell

The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.

Gail Irwin

Needed emergency drain unclog- they were so professional when I called! Got someone here in less than an hour! And no crazy “emergency” charge! The plumber was a great guy! Again, professional and courteous! Brynt was very knowledgeable and efficient- fixed us right up! Company vehicle nice and clean, uniforms nice- hope we never need again- who wants plumbing issues?-but if we do, you can bet we will call them again for sure!!!

Highlands Plumbing FAQs

Is flooding a concern for Highlands plumbing?

Yes. Highlands' position on the San Jacinto River raises flooding and sewer-backup risk. Backwater valves, good drainage, and sump pumps for low lots are wise defenses. We assess and install.

Why does my Highlands slab home have leaks?

Expansive clay soil shifts with moisture and stresses the pipes inside your slab, causing slab leaks. We pinpoint them with non-destructive detection.

Should I repipe my older Highlands home?

If it has corroding galvanized or failing cast-iron lines, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect for rusty water, low pressure, and recurring leaks, and recommend honestly.
