John Maher

In general, customer service is a dying breed, but not the service technicians at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. I wanted to surprise my wife with a water softener for Christmas. I knew from my previous interactions with lead technician, Francisco Vega that I would not be disappointed. Francisco came to my residence a week before Christmas to make arrangements for the installation. He and his colleague, Joseph, arrived promptly at the time agreed upon (the day after Christmas) to do the install. The entire installation took about five hours, but it was as seamless as possible. Upon completion of the install, Francisco answered all questions we had and gave us the peace of mind that we had made a great investment. I can confirm that the soft water feels great on our skin and the reverse osmosis water (also installed as part of the package) tastes amazing! Hats off to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, but mostly to the quality technicians they employ.

Appreciate Benjamin Franklin Plumbing always coming to my home when in need of service. I found myself with no water coming into my home this morning. Carlos Zavala is exemplary - always polite and professional. Explaining as he goes and provided me with the needed fix within a few hours. I now have water in my home and ready for my Holiday. Thank you Carlos and Benjamin Franklin

Ada Fermin

I had a plumbing emergency when my kitchen sink clogged around 3:00 pm—the same day I was hosting a party for 35 guests at 6:00 pm. I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and they sent Brandon. He was absolutely great. He fixed the problem very quickly and saved my party. The next day, Brandon came back to check a small leak under the sink and fixed it just as quickly. He had a great attitude, was very professional, and didn’t charge extra for the follow-up repair. This is a great company with excellent customer service. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend Brandon.

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Lake Hickory water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Lake Hickory, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Lake Hickory plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Lake Hickory home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Lake Hickory to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Lake Hickory?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Lake Hickory property?

For most homes in Lake Hickory, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.For most homes in Lake Hickory, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Lake Hickory?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Lake Hickory home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Lake Hickory home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Lake Hickory homes?

Older homes in Lake Hickory often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Lake Hickory?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Lake Hickory, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Lake Hickory?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
