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 to clear recurring clogs and find the real cause.
Water Heaters
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, the Valley's hard water deposits scale that shortens a heater's life, so sizing and maintenance matter.
Sewer & Septic Service
Sewer line repair and replacement, trenchless options, and septic service for the county's many septic-connected homes.
Piping, Repiping & Frozen Pipes
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and lead-era systems, plus frozen-pipe repair through cold Shenandoah Valley winters.
Leak Detection
Non-destructive leak detection and hidden and slab leak repair that pinpoint basement, wall, and buried-line leaks before we cut into anything.
Water Treatment & Softeners
Water softeners and filtration for the limestone-hard water common across the Valley, plus iron and sulfur treatment for homes on private wells.
Well Pumps & Water Systems
Well pump repair and replacement and pressure-tank service for the many Frederick County homes on private wells.
Gas Lines
Gas line repair, replacement, and installation for ranges, water heaters, generators, and outdoor features.
Sump Pumps & Backups
Sump pump installation and repair, including battery backups and ejector pumps, to keep basements and crawlspaces dry through wet weather and snowmelt.
Fixtures, Faucets, Toilets & Disposals
Faucets, toilets, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for area businesses, restaurants, retail, and multi-family properties.

Kernstown's developed character means most homes and businesses are on Frederick Water, drawn from the county's limestone quarry reservoirs and wells, with the usual Valley hard water that makes softeners a common residential request. The area's growth has brought retail centers, restaurants, and offices that depend on reliable commercial plumbing and fast emergency response, because a failure here can mean lost revenue.

On the residential side, Kernstown's neighborhoods range from older homes with aging pipe to newer subdivisions reaching water-heater-replacement age. Basements over the Valley's soils make sump pumps worthwhile for lower-lying homes, and cold winters bring frozen-pipe risk to exposed runs.

Neighborhoods along Valley Pike (Route 11) and Cedar Creek Grade

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
