Jake was very efficient and explained what needed to be done clearly. He worked fast and was done within a reasonable amount of time. He was friendly and also helpful, even bringing boxes delivered to our house inside without being asked! Thank you Jake!
Jerry was very attentive today. He was honest on what needed to be done to fine our leaks. He was efficient while working on the tub and getting it done in a timely manner.
Amazing experience! Paul came out this weekend and did an incredible job! Not only did he diagnose the issues clearly and simply, but prepared the exact resolution plan we needed and quick! Then spent the whole day Saturday getting our bathrooms back in working order, a solid new water heater, and a soft water system to counteract the Florida sediment. Couldn’t be happier with the professionalism and timeliness! Amazing work: thank you Paul!
Nicholas Blackwell did an excellent job. He was thorough in explaining the situation of my problem to me, also in explaining all the company offers and explained the membership available to. He is knowledgeable of his profession and has a very courteous and respectful disposition. The company has a great asset.
Fast, same-day replacement of my water heater. Saved my bacon. Mike explained my options clearly and did the work incredibly quickly. I would have no reservations about using Franklin Plumbing again.
I had a plugged sewer line. They showed us on time and did an excellent job of clearing the sewer line. He's sharp knowledgeable. I would recommend this man and service to others He's a great plummer.
Called on Sunday due to a leak. Very responsive. Nicholas came out and checked things and was in contact with his supervisor Tom who also came over. After much evaluation it was determined a pipe had broken under the foundation. They began repairs the very next day.
Chase Allen and Aven Hartley were our technicians for a glass leak located under our house. They provided great service and had the leak fixed in just a few short hours. Highly recommend.
Fernando was our technician he was very helpful definitely will use them again
Michael just left our house and he did an amazing job! He immediately found the cause of all of our problems and very efficiently and pleasantly fixed them all. He’s leaving now and he didn’t leave anything undone even though he had to stay late for us. We are so thankful that he came right when he was supposed to and did a fantastic job and was super professional. We want Michael back every time we need a plumber from now on.
