Wetumpka's plumbing reflects its mix of history and growth. Most homes are on municipal water, Wetumpka is supplied in part by the Central Elmore Water & Sewer Authority, which tends to be hard. Softeners and treatment are popular, while outlying homes on private wells need iron and sulfur filtration. Its historic downtown and older neighborhoods hold homes with aging galvanized, cast-iron, or lead-era pipe worth repiping. Its newer subdivisions include polybutylene-era homes worth replacing before they leak. Its commercial base relies on commercial plumbing.

Wetumpka's homes sit on slab or crawlspace foundations. Central Alabama's clay-rich soils, shaped here by the unusual geology of the impact crater and the Coosa River valley, shift with the seasons, stressing the water and sewer lines beneath a slab. Slab leak detection and repair matter. Long, hot summers push water heaters hard, mature trees send roots into aging sewer laterals, and the occasional hard freeze can still threaten unprotected 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

What are the signs of a slab leak in Wetumpka?

Warm spots on the floor, unexplained high water bills, low pressure, or the sound of running water with everything off. Central Alabama's shifting clay soils make slab leaks a real risk. We detect and repair them.

Should I repipe my historic Wetumpka home?

Older downtown homes often have corroding galvanized, cast-iron, or lead-era pipe, and later homes may have polybutylene. Repiping restores pressure and prevents leaks. We inspect and recommend honestly.
