Manvel is a fast-growing city in Brazoria County, just southwest of Pearland on the inland side of the Houston metro. It’s a community where longtime rural acreage and ranch land are giving way to booming master-planned communities like Meridiana, Pomona, and Sedona Lakes. Its explosive growth is a natural fit for Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of League City.
We carry one of the most trusted names in American plumbing, a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024. Area homeowners rate us 5 stars. We're the punctual plumbers: if we're not on time, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300, and we guarantee our work for two years.
Every Manvel home has access to our full range of plumbing services, and each service links to the brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Manvel homeowners facing burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and slab leaks. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays.
We offer slab leak detection and repair and whole-home leak detection. Nearly every home here sits on a concrete slab over expansive Beaumont “gumbo” clay, among the most reactive in the country. It swells and shrinks with our wet/dry cycles and stresses the pipes beneath the slab. We pinpoint hidden leaks with acoustic and pressure testing and repair them before they undermine your foundation.
Water softeners, filtration, and treatment for the hard Gulf-coast water that scales fixtures and pipes and shortens water heater life, from softeners to whole-home filtration. A water test shows exactly what your home needs.
We offer sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless sewers. Many older homes have cast-iron drain lines under the slab that corrode, crack, and form low “bellies.” We camera-inspect, hydro-jet, and repair or replace them, often without digging up the whole slab.
We do water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems. Many area homes have water heaters in the attic, where an old tank failing can flood the ceiling below, so timely replacement and tankless upgrades are popular. Ask about our current water heater offer.
We also offer pipe repair and whole-home repiping. Decades of clay movement and hard-water corrosion pinhole aging copper, so we repipe in durable PEX. Plus, we do water service line and leaking pipe repair, including burst and frozen-pipe repair after a hard Gulf-coast freeze.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and roots, and diagnosing the sewer “bellies” that clay movement creates under Gulf-coast slabs.
Backwater and drain protection and backflow devices. For the heavy Gulf-coast rains the Houston area knows well, we help keep storm water and sewer surcharge from backing up into your Manvel home.
We can help with gas line installation and repair. We install, repair, and safely cap gas lines for water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, generators, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens, tested by licensed professionals.
We also do leak detection (including pool leak detection and pool pumps), plus faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, garbage disposals, boilers where present, and outdoor plumbing.
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, offices, restaurants, marinas, and businesses across the Bay Area and southeast Houston.
Manvel's growth and reactive soil shape its plumbing. Its booming new-construction communities bring installation, remodel, and tankless work, but they're built on concrete slabs over expansive Gulf-coast clay. Slab movement and slab leaks can appear even in newer homes, and foundation watering matters. Hard water scales fixtures and shortens water heater life, so softening and treatment are in strong demand. Rural properties on the edges of town may still be on private wells and septic, adding well and treatment service. Older and rural homes may have aging pipe worth repiping.
Manvel homes are built on concrete slabs over expansive Brazoria County clay. In the Houston area, this construction is standard, and basements are uncommon. As a result, slab-leak detection, foundation watering, and under-slab work matter even on newer homes. Summers are long, hot, and humid. Winters are mild but bring occasional hard freezes (like February 2021) that burst exposed pipes, and heavy Gulf rains make backwater protection worthwhile.
Manvel's new and rural homes get our full range. We offer slab leak detection and repair, hard-water treatment, well and water pump service on the rural edges, PEX repiping, water heater and tankless service, cast-iron and modern sewer work with trenchless, drain cleaning, gas lines, and new-construction and remodel plumbing. Our 5-star team finishes most jobs in one visit, with upfront pricing.
We're the punctual plumbers. If we're not on time, we pay you $5 for every minute we're late, up to 60 minutes or $300, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. See our guarantees.
We guarantee our parts, labor, and craftsmanship for two years after the service date. Bay Area homeowners rate us 5 stars, praising plumbers like Iris and Jorge who arrive on time, explain the work, protect the home, and get it done right.

From slab leaks and cast-iron sewer lines under expansive clay to hard water, attic water heaters, and storm-season protection, we know the plumbing challenges unique to Manvel.
Fully licensed (Texas RMP license #39763) and insured, with plumbers answering the phone around the clock, vital when a slab leak, sewer backup, or burst pipe strikes.
Manvel plumbing follows the Gulf-coast calendar. Even on a newer home, water the foundation evenly in dry spells and watch for slab-leak signs. Have hard water (or well water) treated. Before a hard freeze, wrap exposed pipes and protect outbuildings. Flush the water heater against scale.

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.
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
