Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Norwalk may be home to landmarks like the Hargitt House Museum and the beautiful Norwalk Civic Center, but for homeowners here, it’s what’s happening inside the walls that often goes unnoticed…until there’s a problem. Hidden water leaks have a way of creeping in quietly and causing major headaches: warped floors, rising water bills, mysterious mold, or that dreaded musty smell you just can’t trace.
If you think something’s off but can’t quite put your finger on it, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach is here to help. We’ve worked in homes all across Norwalk, from charming older houses on Pioneer Blvd to newer builds near Bloomfield, and we know how to spot trouble before it turns costly. With expert tools and experienced technicians, we’ll find the source, fix it fast, and save you from chasing puddles or paying for damage that could’ve been prevented.

Here’s why locals trust us:
Leaks are stressful enough. Our job is to make everything after your call feel simple.
Some leaks are loud and obvious, while others quietly cause damage behind the scenes until it’s too late. The tricky ones are often hidden behind walls, under floors, or beneath slabs, slowly wasting water and weakening your home over time.
Here are a few signs that a leak might be lurking out of sight:
If you’re seeing or sensing any of these signs, don’t ignore them. A small leak now can lead to thousands in damage later.
Finding a leak shouldn’t feel like a demolition project and with us, it doesn’t. At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we use advanced, non-invasive technology to locate leaks with precision. No wild guesses, no tearing up floors just to “take a look.” Our process is designed to save you time, stress, and money, because knowing where the leak is matters just as much as fixing it.
Here’s how it works:
We believe in fixing problems at the root, not just patching them up. When we leave, your home will be dry, safe, and leak-free, just the way it should be.

Greetings all! I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff, from Benjamin and Franklin plumbing and heating, this service guy is very professional, knows his work, also answers questions and trouble shoots the situation, which in my case being the hot water heater, was leaking and hissing, gave me an estimate, told me his professional opinion on the matter, I was very confident to allow Jeff to proceed with the job. However unfortunately I had paid in full for a hot water heater, of which the service man from another company ghosted me leaving me in a position of not only anger, but seriously questioning what I should do with the spot I was in. After two days of ignoring my text and voicemail, I decided to move on, then on Saturday evening, the guy shows up with the hot water heater, planning on putting it in, I told him, not tonight, no way, that I found someone else, he seemed sorry for the negative experience I was experiencing. Said he lost his work phone. So, he said I'll be back Monday morning to install the water heater, I figured since it's paid for and it's here, I'll see if this comes to completion! If you need anyone for plumbing and heating, I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin, they are local, reasonable and accommodating. The girls at this business are super understanding, a pleasure to speak to, not like the answering service, that many companies have. Bethany and Monica, I've spoken to both ladies, just so very personable and wonderful for the business, they understand and waste no time hoping on getting a same day service for your needs. Thank you to all, I had a very nice experience. Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and a healthy wonderful year ahead. Thank you so much for restoring my faith and confidence in serving customers with your RELIABLE services! Thanks again so much!

Ben the plumber and Ben Franklin Plumbing are my Christmas heroes! I bought a bidet toilet seat to ease my recovery for an upcoming surgery. I had trouble installing it myself, mainly due to a bad hip that made accessing the waterlines difficult and extremely painful. I reached out to Ben Franklin for help at 7:00 at night, was immediately called back and scheduled for help the very next day. Ben the plumber showed up on time, got my bidet connected and my toilet working lickety-split! He was friendly, polite, great at his job and made me feel like a valuable customer. I'm so grateful that he was able to get my toilet fixed and he left my bathroom nice and clean when he was done. I haven't been in Pensacola for long, so I've been trying to find good companies with exceptional employees that can help with my maintenance needs. Ben at Ben Franklin Plumbing sold me on them for my future needs. Thank you!

Mr D was awesome. He went above and beyond doing the diagnosis of all our problems. He made sure I understood what was being looked at, how much it would cost, and why he was doing what he was doing. You can tell he knows his stuff and he offered specialized work that led us to the solution to what was going on.

Nate is very good at his work and a very good person. We are happy with the new toilet installation. The process was simple. We got the fix the next day. There was no charge for consultation / quote. I recommend this company for a good service.

I live in South Daytona, and had a shower that would not turn off fully. Ryan came out and diagnosed the problem right away. He was able to rebuild it, and set me up with a whole home water filter. The difference in quality is profound!
Jan Taylor
Excellent service, figured out a way to get a technician to my home on the same day. Found the problem right away and snaked the main line until it was clear. Would definitely use this company again. Thanks.

Ryan did some outstanding trouble shooting of my rqinsoft system. The conclusion was tgat the system has outlived its usefulness. He gave me several options that were viable but our decision was not to do anything at this tme, mostly because we’ll most likely be moving in the next year.

Gus was amazing and was very understanding to the issue. Listened and gave reassurance. The price was also amazing!!!!! I will always use them for my plumbing repairs.

John came out to diagnose a leak in our kitchen. He temporarily fixed the leak and scheduled a permanent fix along with some other work that was needed. John is professional, personable and his work looked great. Nice and clean. He picked up after himself and left the job site clean. I would love to have John work on any future plumbing needs I would have.

Eric Lovelady is incredibly professional and patient. He explained everything, presented options, and answered our questions. He used shoe covers when inside the house and handled everything with care. We absolutely recommend his services.
To keep your water heater running smoothly in Norwalk, 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 Norwalk 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 Norwalk 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 Norwalk, 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.For most homes in Norwalk, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Norwalk 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 Norwalk 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 Norwalk, 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.
