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.

I wanted to share my appreciation for the excellent service Brandon and his team provided. Brandon arrived on time, responded quickly, and handled the work with professionalism, friendliness, and care. What stood out most was the speed and convenience of the service. Brandon assessed the leakage damage, cleaned the spout, scraped away the old caulk, reinstalled the area, and sealed it properly for waterproofing. Please extend my thanks to Brandon and his team for their reliable work and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend their service and will call again for future needs.

I randomly found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing via a general Google search. I needed to have some work done on a shower in my home and I don't have a go to for plumbing. When I called I was met by the kind and helpful voice of Renee who put me on their schedule, and then followed up when an earlier opening presented itself, she ACTUALLY called me on the phone to try and update me. This was cool. Eric, their service technician came by my home and quickly assessed that Id actually need a contractor. He took video and found a contractor and SENT ME THE CONTRACTORS INFO. I told Renee afterwards that I hope I never need a plumber but if I do they will be my first call from here on out.

Growing family and we needed a plumber we could actually trust. Friends recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta and wow, so glad they did. They inspected our whole plumbing system (never even thought of it as a “system” before) and gave us multiple options with zero pressure. We’re having them back when we return from vacation to get some work done. Trustworthy, patient and easy to deal with. Thankful we found these guys!!
TERRY MCKEE
Very impressive people to be around.
Cheri Carver
Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.
Brenda George
Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!
Cynthia V. Bell
The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.
Gail Irwin

Company vehicle nice and clean, uniforms nice- hope we never need again- who wants plumbing issues?-but if we do, you can bet we will call them again for sure!!!
