Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
A homeowner in Nichols, CT, is looking for a plumber who knows the area and its people. At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Trumbull, we offer just that kind of service: reliable repairs and installations with no hard feelings or confusing communication.
Nichols is an old and established part of Trumbull, so the plumbing in one home can be quite different from the next. You may have older pipes and fixtures that are due for some attention, or perhaps you are remodelling a kitchen or bathroom and require an update to the system. Our plumbers will put in the time to inspect what is going on, lay out your options and get things back to working order.
Our work covers everything from drain cleaning and leak detection to water heater service, sump pumps and sewer issues. We also do more routine matters like sink and toilet repair, faucet replacement, garbage disposals and outdoor plumbing, as well. If low water pressure or a clogged drain has become a nuisance, we make it our job to resolve it in a straightforward way. You should not have to find the process of getting your plumbing fixed to be a hassle.
Some problems appear without warning, but most are the result of wear over time. A slow drain could be the precursor to a serious clog; a drip left unchecked will ruin your cabinets or floor. And a water heater that is giving you trouble today is liable to let you down when you need it most. We are here for the urgent fixes as well as the planned ones. Should you be upgrading a water heater or putting in a new sink, we will see to it that the plumbing supporting the project is sound.
There is a good deal of history and pride in this community. The Nichols Improvement Association has done much to preserve 42 acres of local character, from the Bunny Fountain and Five Pennies Playground to the Moore Ball Fields and the Community Center. It is a neighborhood with real connection.
That is why our clients in the area put their trust in us. They want punctual, respectful service and to know exactly what is being done before we start. Whether it is a matter of a small fixture or something more involved, we are there to put your mind at ease and restore comfort to your home. Give us a call to request service for any of your plumbing needs.

I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!

I have known the owner John for 15 years. He is very knowledgable about plumbing and can explain plumbing systems so well. He has given me great ideas and options when I am working on my house and I value his opinions and advice. Recently, I had a plumbing issue under the house and John took care of it. I am very happy with his work.
Daniel Moise
I’m gald to say that Benjamin Franklin in Palm Desert helped me install my water heater that failed. Luis and Hugo were very professional and kept the work area cleaned at all times even during the installation process. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Coachella valley.

I know the owner and worked with him. He is dependable, has pride in his work and always willing to teach. You can trust Benjamin Franklin Plumbing To be on time, do what they say they are going to do and always produce high quality work. Please give them a try you won’t regret it 😊
Beck Hasti
We had an old, barely functioning kitchen faucet replaced. The plumber (Brandon) was very professional and left the area very clean and dry. He also noticed some quirks in the plumbing in our 85 year old house (which also explained a water pressure issue we’d been having), letting us know what could be done to address it (& how much it might cost), should we choose to do something about.
Tyler Wood
Love them! On time, thorough, and informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they were more than happy to educate me. I’ve known the owner for over 15 years. Great guy. Ask for John.

Excellent service. Very timely and professional. Reasonable price
To keep your water heater running smoothly in Nichols, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.
If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Nichols home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Nichols to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.
We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.
For most homes in Nichols, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.
We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.
Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Nichols home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.
Older homes in Nichols often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.
To get your plumbing ready for winter in Nichols, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.
Signs of a damaged sewer line in your home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
