Amy Tillman

I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing about a leak that was found when I had my new washing machine installed. Davy came out that same day to assess the situation. They were prompt and fixed my issue at a price that I could afford. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend them!

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.

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!

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.

Jorge Hernandez

Gabe C.

I had a great experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing! Brynt Metzinger did an excellent job, and I really appreciate the care and effort he put into his work. I’m very happy with the service and would gladly call them again for future plumbing needs. Thank you, Brynt, for a job well done!

John Reeves

We had a plumbing emergency on a Friday night. I called the number and was able to reach staff there within just a few minutes. We scheduled to have Christian show up at 9:30am on Saturday morning. He arrived right on time. He completed the work and managed to come up with a great solution for a pretty complex problem. Fantastic job and very reasonable pricing. I will definitely be using them in the future if I need any plumbing work done!

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly, it is 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.

How do I know if I need a plumber for my home’s low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your 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 continues, it is best to call a licensed plumber to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service?

Yes. We are available 24/7 to take your call for plumbing emergencies. If you are dealing with a burst pipe, severe leak, overflowing toilet, sewer backup, or sudden water heater problem, our team is ready to help.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my property?

For most homes, 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 helps protect your home from unexpected issues.

Do you offer plumbing financing?

Yes. We have built relationships with several lenders to help customers restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about available financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my home?

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

What are common plumbing issues in older homes?

Older homes often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You may 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.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter?

To get your plumbing ready for winter, 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 proper performance. It is also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged?

Signs of a damaged sewer line include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains. If you notice these warning signs, schedule service before the problem becomes more serious.
