Houston Acres is a compact community of established mid-century homes, and that settled housing stock defines its plumbing. Homes of this vintage often carry aging galvanized and cast-iron pipe, and some retain lead-era service lines. Repiping and line replacement restore water pressure and quality that decline as old pipe corrodes. Non-destructive leak detection protects finished interiors when a hidden leak appears. The homes' comfortable size also means fixtures and water heaters worth keeping in good repair.

Set in the Ohio River valley near Bowman Field, Houston Acres's homes have full basements where sump pumps, backups, and drainage guard against the water table, spring rains, and snowmelt. Kentucky winters bring hard freezes that threaten exposed pipes. The neighborhood's mature trees send roots into aging sewer laterals. Louisville's moderately hard Ohio River tap water also invites whole-home filtration for scale and taste.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I repipe my Houston Acres home?

If it has corroding galvanized or cast-iron pipe or a lead-era service line, repiping and line replacement are lasting fixes that restore pressure and quality. We inspect and recommend honestly.

Can you find a hidden leak without tearing up my home?

Yes. We use non-destructive leak detection to pinpoint leaks in walls, under floors, and in buried lines, protecting finished space before any repair.

How do I keep my basement dry?

A properly sized sump pump with backup and good drainage protects against the river-valley water table and spring rains. We install and maintain them.
