Orchid is a small, exclusive town on Orchid Island in Indian River County, an affluent enclave of luxury homes, golf-community estates, and oceanfront-and-lagoon living north of Vero Beach. These premium coastal homes deserve expert, discreet plumbing, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Melbourne is ready.
On time, every time: “If there's any delay, it's you we pay!”™ We're your local plumbing team.
Every Orchid home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Space Coast service area, and each service links to the brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Orchid homeowners facing burst or leaking pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays.
Water softeners, filtration, and reverse-osmosis systems for the Space Coast's hard aquifer water, cutting the scale that ruins water heaters, fixtures, and appliances. We address the iron staining and sulfur “rotten-egg” odor common in the region's municipal supply and private wells. Ask about our free water testing.
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping is a Space Coast specialty. We replace aging galvanized, corroded copper prone to pinhole leaks, the failure-prone cast-iron drain lines in older Florida homes, and 1980s–90s polybutylene, all worn faster by hard water and salt air, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair.
Slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection and leak repair, vital under the concrete slab foundations of Florida homes. Hidden leaks and copper pinhole leaks waste water and threaten the home.
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems and recirculating hot-water setups. Hard, mineral-rich Florida water scales and shortens water heater life, making yearly flushing, replacement, and tankless upgrades popular.
Sewer line repair and replacement for aging and root-clogged laterals, often with minimal digging to protect yards and landscaping.
Drain cleaning, clogged-drain clearing, and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and roots from Space Coast drain and sewer lines.
Gas line installation and repair for water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, and outdoor kitchens, installed and tested safely by licensed professionals.
Water pump service for well and rural properties, plus sump pump service for the low-lying, high-water-table coast.
Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, bathtubs, and garbage disposals repaired and installed, plus outdoor plumbing for hose bibs, irrigation, pool equipment, and outdoor showers, corrosion-resistant for the salt-air coast.
Expert plumbing repairs, inspection, and installation for homes and businesses of every age across the Space Coast.
Orchid's luxury, barrier-island character shapes its plumbing. Its premium homes rely on the region's hard aquifer water, prone to scale, iron staining, and a sulfur “rotten-egg” odor. Softeners, iron and sulfur filtration, and RO protect the high-end fixtures, appliances, tankless systems, and water heaters these homes are built around (ask about our free water testing). The salt air off the Atlantic and the Indian River lagoon is aggressive, corroding pipes, fixtures, and equipment and driving corrosion-resistant repiping.
Orchid's homes sit on concrete slab and raised or piling foundations on the barrier island, not basements. Slab-leak detection, coastal-elevated plumbing, and moisture management matter. Hurricane season brings real storm-surge and flooding readiness. Many properties have pools, docks, and outdoor kitchens, and many are seasonal, so discreet, thorough service, including leak monitoring and shutdown for homes left empty part of the year, is essential.
Orchid's luxury island homes get our full range. We offer hard water treatment and RO to protect premium fixtures, corrosion-resistant coastal repiping, slab-leak detection, tankless and water heater service, dock and pool plumbing, and discreet, white-glove service. Our stocked trucks finish most jobs in one visit.
“If there's any delay, it's you we pay!”™ If we're late, we take $5 off your service for every minute, up to $300. See our guarantees.
We offer $50 off any repair or service, a free estimate on installations, a 5% military discount, and free water testing. Ask about current offers.
We are independently owned and operated, we live and work on the Space Coast, and Melbourne-area homeowners rate us 4.7 stars across more than a thousand Google reviews.
If we wouldn't do it to our own homes, we won't do it to yours, our repairs and installations use only durable, high-quality parts.
You get clear pricing and approve the work before we begin, no surprises, with financing available for larger projects.
Background-checked, drug-screened, licensed plumbers answer the phone around the clock, every day, vital during a slab leak, a failed water heater, a burst pipe, or a storm.
Licensed in Florida (CFC1429175), with liability coverage and workers' compensation, and backed by a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024.
Orchid plumbing follows the coastal calendar. Protect premium fixtures with softening, iron/sulfur filtration, and RO. Flush the water heater yearly. Maintain dock, pool, and irrigation lines against salt-air corrosion. Before hurricane season, check drainage. For seasonal homes, arrange shutdown and leak monitoring.

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.

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 😃

★★★★★ 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.
