24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for North Houston homeowners facing burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and slab leaks, day or night, weekends and holidays.

Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Slab leak detection and repair and whole-home leak detection, nearly every home here sits on a concrete slab over expansive Gulf-coast clay that swells and shrinks with our wet/dry cycles, stressing and cracking the pipes beneath the slab. We locate hidden leaks with acoustic and pressure testing and repair them before they undermine your foundation.
Hard Water Treatment
Water softeners, filtration, and treatment for the very hard water across northwest Harris County, the Cypress and Tomball-area MUD wells run about 22 to 26 grains per gallon, well above the City of Houston, scaling fixtures and shortening water heater life. A water test shows exactly what your home needs.
Cast-Iron Sewer Replacement & Trenchless
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless sewers, many area homes from the 1960s–90s have cast-iron drain lines under the slab that corrode, crack, and form low “bellies,” and we camera-inspect, hydro-jet, and repair or replace them, often without digging up the whole slab.
Whole-Home Repiping & Pipe Repair
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping, chloride and mineral content in the local water pinhole aging copper, so we repipe in durable PEX, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair, including burst and frozen-pipe repair after a hard Texas freeze.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, hard-water scale shortens heater life here, so flushing, replacement, and tankless upgrades are popular.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and roots, and diagnosing the sewer “bellies” that clay movement creates under Houston slabs.
Water Line & Repair Plumbing
Water line and full plumbing repair service, yard-line and service-line repair, fixture and valve work, and everyday repairs done right the first time.
Gas Lines
Gas line installation and repair for water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, generators, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens and grills, installed and tested safely by licensed professionals.
Storm, Backwater & Flood Protection
Backwater and drain protection and backflow devices, for the heavy Gulf rains and flooding the Houston area knows well, we help keep storm water and sewer surcharge from backing up into your home.
Fixtures, Outdoor & Disposals
Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, bathtubs, and garbage disposals repaired and installed, plus outdoor plumbing and hose bibs built for the Texas heat.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, offices, restaurants, and businesses across northwest Houston and the Cy-Fair area.

North Houston's range of housing and Gulf-coast soil shape its plumbing. Its older neighborhoods on concrete slabs over expansive clay see slab leaks and cast-iron under-slab sewer failures, while its apartments and commercial property need commercial plumbing and drain work. Hard water scales fixtures and water heaters across the area, and pinholed copper in older homes and buildings is a frequent PEX repipe candidate.

North Houston homes and buildings are built on concrete slabs over expansive Gulf-coast clay, as the Houston area makes standard, not basements, so slab-leak detection and under-slab sewer work matter. Summers are long and hot; winters are mild but bring the occasional hard freeze that bursts exposed pipes.

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

Why do slab leaks happen in north Houston?

Homes here sit on concrete slabs over expansive clay that swells and shrinks seasonally, stressing the pipes beneath the slab until they leak. We locate and repair slab leaks with acoustic and pressure testing.

Do you handle commercial plumbing?

Yes. We serve apartments, offices, retail, and restaurants across north Houston with commercial plumbing, drain cleaning, hydro jetting, and sewer work.

My cast-iron sewer line keeps backing up, can you help?

Yes. Older north Houston buildings have corroding cast-iron under-slab drains. We camera-inspect and repair or replace them, including trenchless options.
