Lorena is a small, growing city south of Waco with a strong small-town identity, good schools, and a mix of in-town neighborhoods and surrounding farmland. With that blend of town and country, Lorena has a varied plumbing profile. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Waco is proud to serve it.
On time, every time. If there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Lorena home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire greater Waco service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Lorena homeowners facing burst or frozen pipes, slab leaks, sewer or septic backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays, with no after-hours fees.
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 and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, roots, and buildup in lines shifted by the area's expansive clay soil.
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, popular in the area's new construction.
We also offer non-destructive leak detection and slab leak repair. The Blackland Prairie's expansive clay shifts slab foundations and the pipes within them, making slab leaks common, and we pinpoint them before we cut into anything.
Water softeners and filtration for the hard water common across Central Texas, from Waco's Lake Waco surface supply to the Trinity Aquifer groundwater that serves rural wells.
Well and water pump service and pressure-tank work for the rural McLennan County homes that rely on private wells.
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options, plus drain and waste-line work tailored to the area's many septic-connected homes.
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and cast-iron systems, plus service line and lead-era line replacement in older Waco homes.
Frozen pipe prevention and repair after hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri, plus backwater valves, drainage, and sump pumps where heavy rain and low-lying ground call for them.
Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation lines, and outdoor connections.
Faucets, toilets, showers, bathtubs, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial plumbing service for greater Waco's businesses, the Baylor University area, downtown, and the I-35 corridor.
Lorena blends town municipal water with rural properties on private wells, so we work across both. The region's hard water makes softeners and treatment a frequent need. Sitting on the Blackland Prairie's expansive clay, Lorena homes face the slab movement that causes slab leaks, making non-destructive leak detection a defining local service.
The city's housing ranges from older in-town homes that may need repiping to newer subdivisions with tankless water heaters, while the surrounding countryside relies on wells and septic. Shifting clay and mature trees can break sewer lines, and the occasional hard winter freeze can burst exposed pipes.
Lorena's town and country homes get our full range. That includes slab leak detection, softeners and treatment, well and water-pump service, repiping for older homes, and freeze protection. Our stocked trucks finish most jobs in one trip, on time and with up-front pricing.
If there's any delay, it's you we pay, $5 for every minute we're late, up to $300. See our guarantees.
You approve every price before any work begins, no meter running, no surprises.
We stand behind our materials, labor, and craftsmanship, and Lorena homeowners rate us 4.8 stars on Google.
We answer the phone around the clock, every day of the year, with no after-hours fees. This is vital during a frozen pipe, a slab leak, or a sewer backup.
Background-checked, drug-tested professionals, licensed in Texas (License 44199), with liability coverage and workers' compensation.
Based right here in Waco and serving Lorena, supported by a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024.
Club membership with annual safety inspections, leak checks, water heater, softener, and pump tune-ups, priority service, and discounts.
Lorena's seasons set the schedule. Watch for slab leaks as the clay shifts. If you're on a well, keep treatment and the pressure tank maintained. Before winter, insulate exposed pipes against the occasional hard freeze. Flush the water heater yearly for the hard water.

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.

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 😃

★★★★★ 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.
