24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Tucson 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
Water softeners, filtration, and reverse-osmosis systems for Tucson's very hard water, cutting the scale that ruins water heaters, fixtures, and appliances, and addressing the arsenic, chromium, and other trace contaminants found in the region's groundwater-and-CAP blend.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation and tankless systems, Tucson's hard water scales and shortens the life of water heaters, so flushing, repair, replacement, and tankless upgrades are among our most-requested services.
Plumbing Repairs, Inspection & Sewer Scoping
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, backed by professional inspection and diagnosis and camera sewer scoping, ideal for home purchases, fix-and-flips, and renovations.
Piping, Repiping & Water Lines
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for pipe scaled and corroded by hard water and the aging or polybutylene systems in older homes, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair.
Slab Leak & Leak Detection
Slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection and leak repair, finding hidden leaks under slabs and in buried lines before they waste precious water or damage a home.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing scale, grease, mineral buildup, and roots from Sonoran Desert drain and sewer lines.
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Sewer line repair and replacement and new sewer installation for aging and root-clogged laterals across the Tucson metro's older and newer neighborhoods.
Pumps & Water Systems
Water pump and pressure-system service for the homes on private wells, booster systems, and storage tanks in the foothills and rural edges of Pima County.
Fixtures, Outdoor & Disposals
Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, bathtubs, and garbage disposals repaired and installed, plus outdoor plumbing for hose bibs, irrigation, and desert landscaping.

Tucson's range of homes shapes its plumbing, but one issue unites them all: very hard water. The city's blend of desert groundwater and imported Colorado River (CAP) water is very hard and getting harder, leaving white scale on fixtures, spotting glassware, and building up inside pipes and water heaters, so softeners, reverse osmosis, and whole-home filtration are the most valuable upgrades a Tucson homeowner can make, and they help address the arsenic, chromium, uranium, and airport-area PFAS found in parts of the supply. The historic barrio and downtown neighborhoods hold older homes with aging galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era pipe worth repiping, while midcentury and later homes may have polybutylene worth watching.

Tucson's homes sit on concrete slabs over caliche hardpan, not basements, so slab-leak detection and repair are a defining local service, and finding hidden leaks conserves precious desert water. Hard-water scale makes water heater replacement and flushing constant, mature trees and aging laterals mean sewer scoping and repair (a service homebuyers, flippers, and renovators lean on), and the summer monsoon brings sudden storms and drainage concerns.

Seasonal Plumbing in Tucson

Tucson plumbing follows the desert calendar. Install and maintain a softener and RO system to fight the very hard water; flush the water heater yearly (more often here) to clear scale; watch for slab-leak signs as pipes age under the slab; before monsoon season, check drainage and have sewer lines scoped; and before a winter cold snap, insulate exposed pipes.

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

Why is Tucson's water so hard, and what can I do?

Tucson blends naturally hard desert groundwater with imported Colorado River (CAP) water, and the hardness is rising as the CAP share grows. It scales fixtures and destroys water heaters. A softener plus reverse osmosis for drinking water is the standard fix; we test and install the right system, and can address arsenic and other contaminants.

Should I repipe my older Tucson home?

Older barrio and downtown homes often have corroding galvanized, cast-iron, or lead-era pipe, and midcentury-and-later homes may have polybutylene. Repiping restores pressure and prevents leaks; we inspect and recommend honestly, with care for a historic home.

Do you do sewer scopes for home purchases?

Yes. Camera sewer scoping is one of our specialties, invaluable for homebuyers, inspectors, and fix-and-flip investors who need to know a line's condition before closing. We review the findings with you in plain language.

What are the signs of a slab leak in Tucson?

Warm spots on the floor, unexplained high water bills, low pressure, or the sound of running water with everything off. Tucson's slab foundations make these a real concern; we detect and repair them with minimal disruption.
