24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Northfield homeowners facing frozen or burst pipes, flooded basements, sewer backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays, with no after-hours fees.

Plumbing Repairs, Inspection & Installation
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, backed by professional inspection and diagnosis. Our plumbers are trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
Piping, Repiping & Lead Service Lines
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for the aging galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era systems common in this area's older homes, plus water service line and frozen pipe repair.
Leak Detection
We offer non-destructive leak detection, leak repair, and pool leak detection, finding hidden leaks in walls, under floors, and in buried lines, protecting the finished space of a fine home before any cutting.
Sump Pumps & Basement Protection
Sump pump installation and repair and water pump service, with backup systems and drainage to guard finished basements against the Ohio River valley's high water table, spring rains, and snowmelt.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, a common upgrade in larger homes with high hot-water demand.
Water Filtration & Treatment
Water softeners and filtration and whole-home systems that refine Louisville's already-excellent Ohio River tap water, cutting scale and improving taste, while a moderate hardness helps protect older pipes.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, buildup, and the tree roots that reach into lines beneath the area's mature canopy.
Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Trenchless
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options for root intrusion and aging clay and cast-iron laterals, often with minimal digging in a landscaped yard.
Outdoor, Pool & Fixture Plumbing
Outdoor plumbing, pool pump service, and faucet, toilet, shower, bathtub, and garbage disposal repair and installation.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the offices, shops, and businesses along the Brownsboro Road and US 42 corridors of eastern Louisville.

Northfield's substantial, established homes, many with mature landscaping and generous square footage, shape its plumbing needs. Homes of this era commonly carry aging galvanized and cast-iron pipe and sometimes lead-era service lines. This makes repiping and line replacement worthwhile. Their size also means multiple bathrooms and water heaters worth keeping in good repair. The neighborhood's beautiful old trees, though, make sewer service a headline concern. Roots reach into aging clay and cast-iron laterals, so drain cleaning, hydro jetting, and trenchless sewer repair are frequent. Trenchless methods spare Northfield's manicured yards.

Set in the Ohio River valley, Northfield's homes have full basements where sump pumps, backups, and drainage guard against the water table, spring rains, and snowmelt. Kentucky winters bring hard freezes that threaten exposed and long pipe runs. Louisville's moderately hard Ohio River tap water also invites whole-home filtration to refine taste and control scale.

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 does my Northfield sewer line keep backing up?

Northfield's mature trees send roots into aging clay and cast-iron laterals. We camera-inspect, clear the line with hydro jetting, and repair or replace it, often trenchless to spare your yard.

What is trenchless sewer repair?

It replaces or relines a sewer lateral with little or no digging, protecting your landscaping and driveway. We assess whether your line is a candidate.

Should I repipe my older Northfield home?

If it has corroding galvanized or cast-iron pipe or a lead-era service line, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect and recommend honestly.

How do I keep my basement dry?

A properly sized sump pump with backup and good drainage protects against the river-valley water table and spring rains. We install and maintain them.
