Reliable plumbing with guaranteed punctuality and 24/7 emergency response for Somers homes and businesses
Somers sits between Kenosha and Racine along the I-94 corridor, and the village has grown steadily since incorporating in 2015. That growth means a mix of newer construction alongside older homes and commercial properties that have been here for decades. Each comes with its own plumbing profile, and when something fails, you want a team that understands the difference between a quick fix and a real solution.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing provides full-service residential and commercial plumbing throughout Somers. Our licensed technicians arrive on time, diagnose the problem thoroughly, and present your repair options with upfront pricing before any work starts. No surprises on the bill, no pressure to approve something you do not understand.
From a backed-up kitchen drain to a water line leak you cannot find, we handle the full scope of plumbing work and stand behind the results. Our on-time guarantee means we respect your schedule the same way we respect the work.

Hard water, aging infrastructure, and Wisconsin winters all take a toll on your plumbing system
Somers straddles the Kenosha-Racine County line, with residential neighborhoods ranging from established homes in areas like Berryville and Central Park to newer development further west along the I-94 corridor. Older homes in the eastern part of the village may still have original galvanized steel supply lines or cast iron drains that are corroding from the inside, leading to low pressure, discolored water, or chronic slow drains.
Water quality is a factor across the area. The U.S. Geological Survey has documented that Wisconsin groundwater generally registers as very hard calcium-magnesium bicarbonate water, often with elevated iron content. In practical terms, that means mineral deposits build up inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, reducing efficiency and shortening the useful life of equipment. Homeowners who notice white scale on faucets, spots on dishes, or a water heater that seems to work harder than it used to are seeing the effects of that mineral load.
Cold weather brings its own risks. The EPA's WaterSense program notes that the average household can waste roughly 9,400 gallons of water per year from leaks, and many of the worst leaks in Wisconsin start with frozen pipes that crack quietly behind walls or under floors. Insulating vulnerable pipes and knowing where your main shut-off valve is located are two of the simplest things you can do to protect your home before winter arrives.

What each service covers and when it is time to call
Commercial plumbing services
Restaurants along Highway 32, offices near the I-94 interchange, and retail businesses throughout the village all depend on plumbing that performs without interruption. We offer scheduled and emergency commercial plumbing with clear communication and minimal disruption to your staff and customers.
Learn more about commercial plumbing services
Drains
When a sink, shower, tub, or floor drain slows down, backs up, or starts producing odors, the clog is usually deeper than what a store-bought drain cleaner can reach. We clear the full blockage and check for underlying problems like pipe damage or grease accumulation that keep the problem cycling back.
Learn more about drains
Emergency plumbing services
A pipe bursting at 2 a.m., a sewer backup flooding a basement, an overflowing fixture that will not stop. These situations cause damage every minute they continue. We respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with technicians who arrive equipped to contain the situation and begin the repair.

Faucets
A dripping faucet is easy to ignore until you see the water bill. A single faucet leaking at one drip per second can waste over 3,000 gallons in a year, according to the EPA. We repair and replace faucets for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and commercial applications.
Learn more about faucets
Garbage disposals
Jams, leaks, electrical failures, and persistent slow draining are the most common disposal problems. If the unit hums without spinning, trips its breaker, or leaks from the housing, we diagnose the issue and handle the repair or replacement on the spot.

Leak detection
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Some hide behind drywall, under concrete, or inside finished ceilings for weeks before the damage becomes visible. We use specialized detection methods to locate hidden leaks without tearing your home apart, then repair the source to stop the waste and prevent further damage.
Learn more about leak detection
Outdoor plumbing services
Wisconsin winters are hard on exterior plumbing. Hose bibs, irrigation supply lines, and outdoor drains all need seasonal attention to avoid freeze damage. We repair, replace, and maintain outdoor plumbing so it holds up through the full cycle of weather this area delivers.

Plumbing repairs
Leaking shut-off valves, noisy pipes, corroded fittings, running toilets, and failed connections are everyday plumbing issues that compound when left alone. We make the repair correctly the first time so a small problem does not become a large, expensive one.

Sewers
Sewer problems show up as slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors indoors, wet patches in the yard, or wastewater backing up through a basement floor drain. These symptoms usually point to a blockage, root intrusion, or structural failure in the main line. We diagnose the issue and present options for clearing, repair, or replacement.
Learn more about sewers
Showers
Temperature swings, low pressure, water appearing behind the wall or on the ceiling below, and a valve that drips after shutoff all indicate shower plumbing that needs attention. We service and replace shower valves, cartridges, supply lines, and fixtures to restore reliable performance.
Learn more about showers
Sinks
Persistent slow drainage, leaks at the P-trap or supply connections, and corrosion around shut-off valves are the most common sink issues we see. Left unaddressed, even a small drip can rot out the base of a vanity or warp cabinetry under a kitchen sink.
Learn more about sinks
Toilets
A running toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day. Weak flushes, rocking at the base, leaks from the tank bolts, and internal valve failures are all problems we resolve quickly with proper parts and correct installation.
Learn more about toilets
Water lines
Reduced pressure, recurring pinhole leaks, rusty or discolored water, and unexplained wet areas in the yard can all point to a water line problem. We repair sections or replace full runs depending on the pipe material, condition, and scope of the failure.
Learn more about water lines
Water heaters
When hot water disappears, fluctuates, turns rust-colored, or the tank starts leaking, your water heater is telling you it needs service. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that water heating is typically the second largest energy expense in any home, responsible for about 18 percent of total energy use. A unit that is struggling costs you in both comfort and utility bills. We evaluate the system and walk you through repair and replacement options.

Water treatment
Mineral-laden water is standard across Southeastern Wisconsin. Water treatment systems reduce hardness, iron content, and taste or odor issues at the point of entry, protecting your fixtures, your appliances, and the quality of the water your household uses every day.

Robert Whitten
I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!
Kersten Scanlon
I have known the owner John for 15 years. He is very knowledgable about plumbing and can explain plumbing systems so well. He has given me great ideas and options when I am working on my house and I value his opinions and advice. Recently, I had a plumbing issue under the house and John took care of it. I am very happy with his work.
Daniel Moise
I’m gald to say that Benjamin Franklin in Palm Desert helped me install my water heater that failed. Luis and Hugo were very professional and kept the work area cleaned at all times even during the installation process. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Coachella valley.

Minor issues like a loose faucet handle or a slow-draining sink with a visible clog in the stopper are reasonable for a homeowner to address. Anything involving the main shut-off, sewer line, water heater internals, supply line connections behind walls, or gas plumbing should go to a licensed professional. The risk of making the problem worse, or creating water damage in a hard-to-reach area, usually outweighs the cost of a service call.
A sulfur or rotten egg odor from your hot water usually points to bacterial activity inside the water heater tank, often in a reaction with the anode rod. If the smell is present in both hot and cold water, the source may be in your well or groundwater supply. A plumber can help isolate the cause and recommend the right solution, whether that is an anode rod replacement, a water heater flush, or a water treatment system.
For most homes, an annual professional drain cleaning keeps lines flowing and catches buildup before it creates a full blockage. Properties with mature trees near sewer lines, commercial kitchens with heavy grease output, or homes with a history of recurring drain problems may benefit from more frequent service.
In many cases, yes. A water heater that is past its expected lifespan, producing inconsistent temperatures, making unusual sounds, or showing rust at the fittings is signaling that a failure is coming. Replacing on your schedule lets you choose the right unit and avoid an emergency situation with no hot water while you wait for availability.
Absolutely. We serve offices, restaurants, retail spaces, and commercial facilities with the same on-time commitment and upfront pricing we bring to residential work. We understand that a plumbing problem at your business affects revenue, staff, and customers, so we prioritize clear scheduling and fast resolution.
A sudden drop in pressure across all fixtures usually points to a problem with the main supply line, the shut-off valve, or the municipal supply. Gradual loss over time is more commonly caused by mineral buildup inside older galvanized pipes, a failing pressure regulator, or leaks in the supply piping. We can diagnose which it is and recommend the appropriate repair.
Disconnect and drain garden hoses, shut off and drain exterior hose bibs if you have interior shut-off valves for them, insulate any exposed pipes in unheated spaces like garages or crawl spaces, and make sure your thermostat stays at 55 degrees or above even when you are away. If you are leaving for an extended period, consider having your system inspected before you go.
