Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Rancho Mission Viejo is one of California's newest master-planned communities, a series of villages including Sendero, Esencia, and Rienda built across the historic ranch land of inland South Orange County since the 2010s. With the area's newest housing, Rancho Mission Viejo has a thoroughly modern plumbing profile. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of San Clemente is the on-time team to keep it comfortable.
On time, every time: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Rancho Mission Viejo home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire South Orange County service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Rancho Mission Viejo's homes are brand-new, built on slabs with the latest copper and PEX systems, tankless or high-efficiency water heaters, and smart fixtures. Homes here are also served by the Santa Margarita Water District with imported potable water and an extensive recycled-water (purple-pipe) system for irrigation. Those new systems are reliable, but the region's hard water still calls for softeners and filtration to protect them. A tankless unit also needs annual descaling to stay efficient.
Because the community is so new, much of our work is protecting manufacturer warranties with documented maintenance, adding water treatment, connecting fixtures and appliances, and handling the occasional new-home plumbing issue. Slab foundations mean any under-slab leak calls for our non-destructive detection, and the area's hot inland summers and conservation focus make leak detection and water-saving fixtures worthwhile from the start.
The Village of Sendero · The Village of Esencia · The Village of Rienda · The surrounding Rancho Mission Viejo neighborhoods · The new homes across the community
Rancho Mission Viejo's brand-new homes are exactly our sweet spot: softeners and filtration to protect new systems from hard water, tankless descaling and service, slab leak detection, and fixture work, all with up-front pricing and documented maintenance that helps keep warranties intact. Our stocked trucks resolve most calls on the first visit.
Even brand-new homes benefit from a seasonal routine. First, add a softener and descale the tankless yearly given the hard water. Second, keep up documented maintenance to protect warranties. Finally, watch for slab-leak signs before summer's heavy use. With recycled water for irrigation, keep outdoor systems tuned and efficient.
Call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of San Clemente at (949) 415 3661 (or (800) 259-7705) anytime, day or night, or book your appointment online. Meet the San Clemente team behind every visit. We proudly serve Rancho Mission Viejo and the surrounding South Orange County coast, on time, every time. Learn more on the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® national brand site

Tanner was neat and very knowledgeable. He flushed the water heater, checked all toilets and sinks. We told him about a toilet issue and he was able to fix it while here saving us a fee. A very good company for your plumbing needs.

We have used Ben Franklin Plumbing for years. They are always prompt and professional. We had an issue with our water heater that they installed two years ago. When they arrived, we discovered it was only batteries that needed to be replaced on the water overflow sensor. They replaced the batteries (I now know to do it yearly) and didn't charge me for the service call. You don't get this type of service any more from most companies that provide home services. I highly recommend using Ben Franklin for all your plumbing needs.

Michael Mayes was extremely helpful in this process of replacing a sewer line fix. There team did a great job in fixing my problem and reassuring me everything was done correctly. They were very good at keeping and respecting my property's landscaping. I was very pleased with the whole process of the project they did.

Eric is very knowledgeable and gave me preventative tips. He gave me a few suggestions and quotes to help maintain a working plumbing system. Eric is a very nice person and a valued employee. Should I have any future issues (I hope not) I would like to request Eric to assist. Thank you, Norma Lang
Yes, eventually. Even new homes benefit from a softener for the hard water, tankless descaling, and documented maintenance to protect warranties, plus the occasional new-construction issue. We're here when you need us.
Often, yes. South Orange County's imported water is hard and scales water heaters and fixtures over time; a softener protects your investment from day one. We test and size it.
Yes, annual descaling, repair, and replacement. Descaling is important with hard water to keep a tankless unit efficient and under warranty.
Yes. Even new homes can develop slab leaks; our non-destructive detection pinpoints them without tearing up your floors.
