Nora Schallenberger

I called One Air Heating for a second opinion on my furnace drama. I have battling it since the first of December with another company. First off the second opinion was free! I did not know that! How Wonderful for this old lady! Cody came out same day....what a great guy and very knowledgeable of my furnace unit. After explaining my troubles, and he listened to all of them, he looked at the thermostat and the the unit. Turned out I need a control board, which of course, is back ordered. So.....he did a temporary fix, and checked to see if they had any boards at all for the unit in case the fix doesn't hold. Found an old board, but have decided to wait if the temporary fails. He came out on the 21st and as of the 24th, its still working. He even gave me his number and said if any problems give him a call. He even texted on friday to check in. Great Service for sure, I'm glad I called their number for the second opinion. Thanks so much Cody!

Ross Judice

Our experience was awesome with Mr JD Workman, Mr Luke , Mr Trey. They did a great job on our home. Workmanship was excellent and they explained what they were doing. The cost was very reasonable we found. More than $2300 lest then the other quote. Found a good plumbing company to do future work we may need!!! They cleaned up after themselves and put all the paneling they removed back. They were very polite. Miss Heather was very polite and helped us out with the pex piping of our house. We rated them 5 stars because they were!!!! Thanks for fantastic job!!!!

David was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He took extra time to understand my faucet problem and researched options to help me get the part I needed.

I had a great experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing! From start to finish, they were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. They kept me updated every step of the way and even provided clear before-and-after pictures, which I really appreciated. They did an excellent job installing handwashing sinks and a sink for my warming kitchen, and everything was completed with care and attention to detail. I want to give a special shout-out to Tyler and Jenna — they were absolutely amazing, patient, and informative. I also met the manager once (I’m so sorry I forgot your name!), but you were great as well. The whole team truly went above and beyond. What stood out the most is that they took the time to look up the plumbing codes for my childcare center, explained everything clearly, and educated me on the correct equipment that should be used and what should stay to remain compliant. That level of care and knowledge gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and knowledgeable plumbing company. You guys are great — thank you again!

Cole is an amazing tech. He came over for an after hours call and was quickly able to identify and trouble shoot the issue with my water filter. I will definitely reach out to him again for any plumbing issues in the future.

Joni Light

Vinnie and Myles came promptly to fix our hot water system - not knowing what the real issue even was! As soon as they looked they had the system working within a few minutes. Additionally we looked at the overall system, which had not been maintained properly, and we got a much needed education. We'll be getting them back soon for future maintenance and new system. More to come. We highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Customer service was prompt, courteous, educated, and pleasant.

Kirk Haney

We call ben franklin and got an immediate response. The plumbers were there in thirty minutes, figured out the problem, fixed the problem, and charged less than the estimate that I originally chose. Thanks to Seth for his expertise and his honesty.

Kristin West

Nery and Brandon installed our water heater and we're very kind to us, and we are happy with the results. They were on time and very nice to us.

B. Pitts

Great experience with Benjamin Franklin. Alex and Robert were friendly, professional and efficient in their work. They took time to do little thinks like cover their shoes, or take them off before entering. Even though I have hardwood floors, it was nice to see.

Robin “W” Braesicke

It was good until someone at the shop ordered the wrong water heater...little delay....they had problems wiring the hot water heater.... The work they did was top notch from what I can see. I was glad that they made sure that it was wired correctly, they took their time and did the job right the first time...will post any follow-up if necessary... The guys were polite, worked hard, got the job done...thanks guys I didn't want to stay in a motel a second night...Happy New Year...lol

Plumbing FAQs

What are the safest first steps to take when a sink or tub drain starts backing up?

Stop running water to that fixture, then try a plunger if it is a sink, tub, or shower. Skip harsh chemicals since they can damage pipes and make a clog harder to remove. If the backup keeps coming back, a plumber can clear the line and confirm there is not a deeper blockage.

How do I know if my clog is just in the P-trap under the sink or deeper in the drain line?

If only one sink is slow and other drains are fine, it is often close to the fixture, like the P-trap or the branch line. If you remove and clean the P-trap and the sink is still slow, the clog is likely farther down and may need professional tools to clear it fully.

What is the difference between snaking and hydro jetting for drain cleaning?

Snaking is designed to break through or pull out a blockage, but it may leave residue on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to wash buildup off the inside of the pipe, which can be helpful for heavy grease, sludge, or recurring buildup. A plumber may recommend a camera check first to choose the safest option for the pipe condition.

When is a camera inspection worth it for a recurring drain problem?

A camera inspection is useful when a clog returns quickly, when clearing only works for a short time, or when you want to confirm what is actually causing the slowdown. It can pinpoint buildup, broken sections, or misaligned piping so the fix is targeted instead of guesswork. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Tom Bean can use camera inspections to help identify the cause before repairs.

Can hard water in Grayson County contribute to slow drains?

Yes. Mineral scale from hard water can gradually narrow sections of piping and catch soap scum and debris more easily, especially in bathroom drains. If you notice frequent buildup and slower draining even after basic cleaning, a plumber can recommend a cleaning method that removes scale safely and helps reduce repeat clogs.

What should I avoid putting down the kitchen sink to reduce clogs over time?

Avoid pouring grease, oil, and fatty food scraps down the drain, even with hot water. Starchy foods like rice and pasta can swell, and coffee grounds tend to collect and form a dense sludge. Using a sink strainer and wiping greasy pans before washing can make a big difference.

What are the best practices for using a garbage disposal without clogging the drain?

Run cold water before and after using the disposal, feed small amounts at a time, and avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, or onion skins that can tangle. Eggshells and stringy peels can also build up in the line. If clogs happen often, it may be a drain issue beyond the disposal and worth a professional look in the Tom Bean area.
