Meldrim is a small, rural community in Effingham County along the Ogeechee River, west of the Savannah metro, surrounded by woods and farmland. It's country living through and through and country plumbing, which is exactly what Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Savannah Metro is built to handle.
We bring big-league service to this rural community, on time and guaranteed: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Meldrim home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Savannah metro service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Meldrim's rural setting means most homes rely on private wells and septic systems rather than public water and sewer. Well-pump and pressure-tank service is a core local need, and coastal Georgia's Floridan Aquifer groundwater is often hard, iron-bearing, and prone to a sulfur (“rotten egg”) odor. Treatment after a water test is among the most-requested work to protect pipes and fixtures and improve taste and smell.
Septic systems are the norm on Meldrim's rural lots, shaping how we handle drain and waste-line issues. Homes range from older country houses with aging pipe to newer rural builds and manufactured homes. The low-lying ground near the Ogeechee River and heavy summer storms make drainage worthwhile, and being well outside town makes fast, capable, single-visit service all the more valuable.

Remote, rural homes deserve the same prompt, professional plumbing as any suburb. That's our promise to Meldrim: genuine well-and-septic expertise, treatment for hard and sulfur-prone water, and full-service plumbing. Our stocked trucks finish most jobs in one trip, which matters this far out.
Country homeownership rewards routine. Test your well water periodically and keep treatment and the pressure tank maintained. If you're on septic, mind what enters the system and act on slow drains. Before storm season, check low-area drainage, and during the occasional winter freeze, protect exposed and long pipe runs.

Hugo arrived at my house within the window of time I was expecting which was helpful. I could tell he knew what he was talking about. He gave me several options including an option to finance the replacement of my hot water heater. In short, he was kind, courteous and professional.
Most Meldrim homes are on private wells and septic. We service well pumps, pressure tanks, treatment, and septic-aware drains, and we really do drive out this far.
