Plumbing Services in Mt Lemmon, AZ, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Greater Tucson

Your Trusted Mt Lemmon Plumber

Mt Lemmon is a world apart from the desert below, the highest peak of the Santa Catalina Mountains at around 9,000 feet, home to the alpine village of Summerhaven, the Mt Lemmon Ski Valley, and the cabins and mountain homes that draw Tucsonans up the sky-island highway to escape the heat. Up here, winter means real snow and hard freezes, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Greater Tucson knows mountain plumbing is a different job.

Unlike the desert communities below, Mt Lemmon's plumbing is all about the cold. At nearly 9,000 feet, Summerhaven and the surrounding cabins see heavy snow and sustained hard freezes, so frozen and burst pipes are the number-one concern, pipe insulation, heat cable, careful winterizing, and fast burst-pipe repair are the core of mountain plumbing here. Many properties are seasonal cabins and second homes, empty for stretches of winter, which makes proper shutdown, draining, and freeze protection essential to avoid a burst pipe flooding a cabin while no one is there.

Mt Lemmon's cabins and mountain homes are typically built on crawlspace or pier foundations rather than desert slabs, so exposed pipes in crawlspaces and under floors are especially freeze-prone and need insulation. Homes here rely on a small mountain water system, springs, or storage, and the steep, forested, granite terrain and remote location make every visit a mountain expedition. Water heaters still need service and replacement, and repiping addresses both age and freeze damage.

Seasonal Plumbing in Mt Lemmon

On Mt Lemmon, winter is the main event. Before the cold sets in, insulate exposed pipes (especially in crawlspaces), add heat cable, seal drafts, and know your main shut-off; if your cabin will sit empty, have it properly winterized and drained so a freeze can't burst a pipe while you're away. In spring, we reopen and pressure-test seasonal homes. Summer brings monsoon storms and a busy season of cabin use and repairs.

Brennie Brackett

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.

Donna

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 😃

Rich Dunham

★★★★★ 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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you really service Mt Lemmon and Summerhaven?

Yes. Our Greater Tucson team comes up the Catalina Highway to Summerhaven and the surrounding mountain, bringing stocked trucks so we can handle frozen pipes, repairs, and installs despite the remote, high-elevation location.

How do I keep my Mt Lemmon cabin's pipes from freezing?

Insulate exposed pipes and crawlspace lines, add heat cable, seal drafts, and keep some heat on if you can. If the cabin will be empty, the safest step is full winterizing, draining the system so there's no water to freeze. We do all of this.

My cabin sits empty in winter, what should I do?

Have it professionally winterized: shut off and drain the water, protect the water heater, and add freeze protection. We winterize in fall and reopen and pressure-test in spring, and can check on it in between.

Can you help fast if a pipe has already burst?

Yes. We respond 24/7 to burst and frozen pipes, thaw safely, repair the damage, and help you prevent a repeat with insulation and heat cable.

Is Mt Lemmon plumbing different from Tucson's?

Very. Down in the desert the enemy is hard water; up on Mt Lemmon it's the cold, snow, hard freezes, crawlspace pipes, and seasonal cabins. We handle both.
