Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Springfield is the heart of west-central Ohio, the historic seat of Clark County, a proud manufacturing city with grand old neighborhoods, established mid-century communities, and newer subdivisions, set along the Mad River between Dayton and Columbus. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Springfield and Urbana is the locally based, on-time team that keeps the city running through every season.
We carry one of the most trusted names in American plumbing, a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024, but the people answering your call are your neighbors. We're The Punctual Plumber, and we back it with a promise no ordinary plumber makes: if there's any delay, it's you we pay, $5 a minute up to $300.
Every Springfield home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Clark and Champaign County service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Springfield's water comes from the city's productive wells in the Mad River buried-valley aquifer, drawing the hard, mineral-rich groundwater common across the region, so water softeners and iron filtration are among the most valuable upgrades a homeowner can make, sparing water heaters and fixtures from scale. The defining seasonal challenge is winter: west-central Ohio's cold, snowy season makes frozen and burst pipes a real risk, so insulation, frost-proof fixtures, and fast thaw-and-repair service matter from late fall into spring.
Like nearly every home here, Springfield houses have full basements, and snowmelt and spring rains make sump pumps, ideally with battery backup, essential against flooding. As an older city, Springfield has many historic and early-twentieth-century homes that may carry galvanized pipe, cast-iron drains, and lead-era service lines worth repiping, and its mature trees send roots into aging sewer laterals. The city's businesses and industry also rely on commercial plumbing.
The historic neighborhoods near downtown and the South Fountain district · The established communities along North Limestone and East High Street · The areas near Wittenberg University and Snyder Park · Newer subdivisions on the north and west sides · And the homes and businesses across Springfield
As the hometown team, we know Springfield's neighborhoods, water, and winters, softeners for the hard water, sump pumps and frozen-pipe protection for the season, repiping and sewer-root work for the older homes, and water heaters throughout, plus commercial plumbing for the city's businesses and industry. Our stocked trucks resolve most calls on the first visit.
Springfield plumbing follows the Ohio calendar. Before the first hard freeze, disconnect hoses, insulate exposed pipes, and protect frost-prone fixtures; test your sump pump and its backup ahead of spring snowmelt and rains. Flush the water heater yearly for the hard water, and have older sewer lines checked for roots in the growing season.

Brandon was very easy to work with in giving me options to consider. Personable, polite and professional!
Ron Hyatte
Excellent quality work. Company employees are very knowledgeable and professional. Very reasonable prices for the work performed.
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!

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.
Eric R
I know the owner and worked with him. He is dependable, has pride in his work and always willing to teach. You can trust Benjamin Franklin Plumbing To be on time, do what they say they are going to do and always produce high quality work. Please give them a try you won’t regret it 😊
Beck Hasti
We had an old, barely functioning kitchen faucet replaced. The plumber (Brandon) was very professional and left the area very clean and dry. He also noticed some quirks in the plumbing in our 85 year old house (which also explained a water pressure issue we’d been having), letting us know what could be done to address it (& how much it might cost), should we choose to do something about.
Tyler Wood
Love them! On time, thorough, and informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they were more than happy to educate me. I’ve known the owner for over 15 years. Great guy. Ask for John.
Saeed Jassani
