Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
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.

★★★★★ Everything about the scheduling process was easy, they showed up on time, and explained everything they were going to do. They didn’t try to sell me things I didn't need. This was a much better experience than the last plumbing company I used. These are my guys moving forward!

Eric did a great job! Immediately diagnosed the problem and provided me with two choices to fix it. Once the decision on what to do was made he had the job done remarkably quick. He even took a look at the toilet in another bathroom just to make sure it was running smoothly. A great job by a super nice guy. Highly recommended. Thanks Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!
TERRY MCKEE
Very impressive people to be around.

I wanted to share my appreciation for the excellent service Brandon and his team provided. Brandon arrived on time, responded quickly, and handled the work with professionalism, friendliness, and care. What stood out most was the speed and convenience of the service. Brandon assessed the leakage damage, cleaned the spout, scraped away the old caulk, reinstalled the area, and sealed it properly for waterproofing. Please extend my thanks to Brandon and his team for their reliable work and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend their service and will call again for future needs.

The owner is very detailed and does his research! He wants to ensure everyone gets the best possible. Through his top of class hiring and extensive attention to detail, the Madison area has a great option with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for all of their plumbing needs!
Cheri Carver
Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.

Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!
Cynthia V. Bell
The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.
Gail Irwin
Needed emergency drain unclog- they were so professional when I called! Got someone here in less than an hour! And no crazy “emergency” charge! The plumber was a great guy! Again, professional and courteous! Brynt was very knowledgeable and efficient- fixed us right up! Company vehicle nice and clean, uniforms nice- hope we never need again- who wants plumbing issues?-but if we do, you can bet we will call them again for sure!!!
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.
Yes. That odor is hydrogen sulfide, common in coastal Georgia well water along with iron and hardness. After a water test, we install the right treatment to remove it.
Yes. A failed pump means no water, so we prioritize it, diagnosing and repairing or replacing the pump, pressure tank, and switch.
Yes. With septic the norm here, we diagnose and resolve drain and waste-line issues with that system in mind.
Yes, around the clock, every day, even out in rural Effingham County, with the On-Time Guarantee and no after-hours fees.
