The Hill Farms Plumbing Landscape

Hill Farms' homes date largely to the mid-century, and after decades of service many have aging galvanized water pipe that corrodes and restricts flow, plus original cast-iron drains, so repiping and drain work are common here. Served by Madison's hard deep-well water, the neighborhood benefits from softeners and iron filtration to protect water heaters and fixtures, and water heaters installed over the decades are now aging into replacement.

Like all of Madison, Hill Farms homes have full basements, making sump pumps with battery backup important against snowmelt and spring rains, and the deep-freeze winters make frozen-pipe protection essential. The neighborhood's mature trees can send roots into older sewer laterals, calling for hydro jetting and trenchless repair.

Joanne Gilbert

Brandon was very easy to work with in giving me options to consider. Personable, polite and professional!

Ron Hyatte

Excellent quality work. Company employees are very knowledgeable and professional. Very reasonable prices for the work performed.

Robert Whitten

I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Kylie Kurt

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!

Kersten Scanlon

I have known the owner John for 15 years. He is very knowledgable about plumbing and can explain plumbing systems so well. He has given me great ideas and options when I am working on my house and I value his opinions and advice. Recently, I had a plumbing issue under the house and John took care of it. I am very happy with his work.

Daniel Moise

I’m gald to say that Benjamin Franklin in Palm Desert helped me install my water heater that failed. Luis and Hugo were very professional and kept the work area cleaned at all times even during the installation process. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Coachella valley.

Eric R

I know the owner and worked with him. He is dependable, has pride in his work and always willing to teach. You can trust Benjamin Franklin Plumbing To be on time, do what they say they are going to do and always produce high quality work. Please give them a try you won’t regret it 😊

Beck Hasti

We had an old, barely functioning kitchen faucet replaced. The plumber (Brandon) was very professional and left the area very clean and dry. He also noticed some quirks in the plumbing in our 85 year old house (which also explained a water pressure issue we’d been having), letting us know what could be done to address it (& how much it might cost), should we choose to do something about.

Tyler Wood

Love them! On time, thorough, and informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they were more than happy to educate me. I’ve known the owner for over 15 years. Great guy. Ask for John.

Saeed Jassani

Excellent service. Very timely and professional. Reasonable price

Hill Farms Plumbing FAQs

Should I repipe my mid-century Hill Farms home?

Often, yes. After decades, galvanized pipe corrodes and restricts flow, discoloring water. We inspect and recommend repiping in copper or PEX honestly.

Is a water softener worth it here?

Yes. Madison's deep-well water is hard; a softener and iron filtration protect your water heater and fixtures. We test and size it.

My water heater is getting old, repair or replace?

Past 10 to 12 years or with frequent repairs, replacement is usually wiser, and many homeowners upgrade to tankless. We give honest, up-front recommendations.
