24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Tampa homeowners facing burst or leaking pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations day or night, weekends and holidays.

Water Treatment, Softeners, RO & Purification
Water softeners, reverse osmosis, and whole-home purification for the Tampa Bay area's hard Floridian Aquifer water cutting the scale that ruins water heaters, fixtures, and appliances and addressing the sulfur “rotten-egg” odor. Ask about our free water testing.
Whole-Home Repiping & Polybutylene Replacement
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping a Tampa Bay specialty. We replace the failure-prone polybutylene installed in thousands of 1980s–90s homes (its reaction with chloraminated water leads to leaks insurers now flag), plus aging cast iron, galvanized, and corroded copper, with leaking pipe and water line repair.
Slab Leak & Leak Detection
Slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection and leak repair vital under the concrete slab foundations of Florida homes, where catching hidden leaks early saves water and, in this limestone region, helps protect the ground beneath your home.
Water Heaters, Tankless & Replacement
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems Tampa Bay's hard water scales and shortens water heater life, making yearly flushing, replacement, and tankless upgrades popular.
Sewer & Drain Cleaning, Hydro Jetting
Sewer service, drain cleaning, clogged-drain clearing, and hydro jetting with camera inspection clearing grease, scale, and roots from Tampa Bay sewer and drain lines.
Wells, Pumps & Septic-Aware Service
Water pump service and treatment for the many rural Hillsborough and Pasco homes on private wells (iron, sulfur, sediment, and hardness), plus sump pump and pool pump service and septic-aware drain and sewer work.
Gas Lines
Gas line installation and repair for water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, and outdoor kitchens installed and tested safely by licensed professionals.
Fixtures, Outdoor & Pool Plumbing
Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, bathtubs, and garbage disposals repaired and installed, plus outdoor plumbing for hose bibs, irrigation, pool equipment, and outdoor kitchens.
Plumbing Repairs & Installation
Expert plumbing repairs, inspection, and installation for homes and businesses of every age across the Tampa Bay area.

Tampa's plumbing is as varied as the city, but a few themes dominate. Its historic neighborhoods Seminole Heights, Hyde Park, Ybor City, Palma Ceia, and more are full of older bungalows running on failure-prone cast-iron drain lines and aging galvanized, so whole-home repiping and cast-iron replacement are defining services, while the vast 1980s–90s suburbs have polybutylene, often flagged by insurers. All contend with hard, sulfur-tinged water the city blends Hillsborough River, Floridian Aquifer, and desalinated supply into water that runs hard and etches glass and scales heaters making softeners, RO, and purification top upgrades.

Tampa homes sit on concrete slab and concrete-block foundations over karst limestone not basements so slab-leak detection and catching hidden leaks early matter, both to save water and, in this sinkhole-prone region, to help protect the ground. Aggressive tree roots invade old sewer laterals, the city's many pools bring outdoor plumbing, its towers and condos bring high-rise plumbing, Gulf-coast hurricane season brings storm readiness, and the occasional freeze makes frozen-pipe prep worthwhile.

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.

Donna

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

Rich Dunham

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!

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!

William Rosshirt

Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer

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

Jordan is amazing! He went out of his way to get the job done. Professional top-notch the best I’ve seen in a long time I would recommend and make sure you ask for Jordan.M

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I replace the cast-iron pipes in my historic Tampa home?

Often, yes. Bungalows in Seminole Heights, Hyde Park, and Ybor may have corroding cast-iron drain lines. We camera-inspect and repipe or replace carefully, protecting a historic home.

Does my Tampa suburban home have polybutylene?

Many 1980s–90s homes in New Tampa, Carrollwood, and Town 'n' Country do. Polybutylene can fail and is often flagged by insurers. We inspect and repipe with modern PEX.

Why is Tampa's water so hard and sometimes smelly?

Tampa blends river, Floridan Aquifer, and desalinated water into a hard, sometimes sulfur-tinged supply. A softener plus RO and purification cuts the scale and odor; we offer free water testing.
