Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Old River-Winfree is a rural Chambers County community east of Baytown. It spreads across farmland, bayous, and acreage near Old River and the upper reaches of Trinity Bay. It's country living, and country plumbing: exactly what Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Baytown and Dayton is built to handle.
We bring big-league service to this rural community, on time and guaranteed: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Old River-Winfree home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Baytown and Dayton service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Old River-Winfree's rural character means many homes rely on private Gulf Coast Aquifer wells and septic systems rather than city utilities. Well-pump and pressure-tank service is a core local need and the area's groundwater is often hard and can carry iron or a sulfur odor. Nearer the coast, the water has some salinity, so treatment after a water test is among the most-requested work to protect pipes and fixtures and improve taste and smell.
Septic systems are the norm on these larger lots, shaping how we handle drain and waste-line issues, and homes range from older farmhouses to newer rural builds and manufactured homes. The low, flat ground near the water brings flood risk in heavy rain. The expansive clay soil can shift slabs and cause slab leaks, and the occasional hard freeze can burst exposed and long pipe runs.

Remote, rural homes deserve the same prompt, professional plumbing as any subdivision. That's our promise to Old River-Winfree: genuine well-and-septic expertise, treatment for hard and iron- or sulfur-bearing water, and slab leak detection. Our stocked trucks finish most jobs in one trip, which matters this far out.
Country homeownership rewards routine. Test your well water periodically and keep treatment and the pressure tank maintained. If you're on septic, mind what enters the system and act on slow drains. Before storm season, check low-area drainage, and before winter, protect exposed and long pipe runs from the occasional hard freeze.

Family of 5 with three daughters, so our water gets a serious workout 😂. We had Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta come out to look at our home and help us understand where we could make things more efficient. They gave us some really useful advice, especially around improving our water quality and a few things we’d never even thought about. Friendly, knowledgeable and zero pressure. Really glad we found these guys. We’ll definitely be using them when we’re ready to make some upgrades!
Robert Friedman
We had an amazing experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing! We had a bit of an emergency (I'll spare details, was gross) and needed someone out quick to resolve. They came same day and were able to determine pipework hadn't been connected properly during recent work we had done. I'm really glad we found them! Local team, quick to respond, and took great care in our home. Would definitely recommend them!

Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.
Kelly Harter
Tyler was helpful, courteous, and efficient. He explained the process in terms we could easily understand and worked with us to find the most convenient time to return to complete the job. We would definitely feel comfortable having him work for us again.

Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!
Cynthia V. Bell
The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.
Gail Irwin
Needed emergency drain unclog- they were so professional when I called! Got someone here in less than an hour! And no crazy “emergency” charge! The plumber was a great guy! Again, professional and courteous! Brynt was very knowledgeable and efficient- fixed us right up! Company vehicle nice and clean, uniforms nice- hope we never need again- who wants plumbing issues?-but if we do, you can bet we will call them again for sure!!!
Brian Doherty
Jason Eckert diagnosed my plumbing leak issue quickly and explained the fix needed, provided an estimate, and quickly completed the job. Good communication, and all around pleasant to deal with. Thanks!

Angel C was in fact a literal angel. He was extremely kind and professional. Up front about costs and quotes. This was my first time having to hire someone for an home repair and was very nervous about the process but he was amazing. I will definitely be a returning customer ( if I have to be ) and will be requesting Angel! Seriously cannot thank him enough!
Most homes here are on private wells and septic. We service well pumps, pressure tanks, treatment, and septic-aware drains. We really do drive out this far.
Yes. That usually means hydrogen sulfide or iron, common in area well water along with hardness. After a water test, we install the right treatment to remove it.
Yes. A failed pump means no water, so we prioritize it, diagnosing and repairing or replacing the pump, pressure tank, and switch.
Yes. Expansive clay shifts slabs and stresses the pipes within. We pinpoint slab leaks with non-destructive detection.
Yes, around the clock, every day, even out in rural Chambers County, with no after-hours fees.
