Dana Hetzel

So glad we went with Benjamin Franklin for the latest plumbing work we needed done in our home. I couldn’t be happier with the work Eric Lovelady and Jo did. They installed a new water heater and pump and changed out the shut off valves. They were so polite and professional. Eric was upfront with the work, pricing and timeline to complete the work. He took the time to explain different options (and he was so patient when he had explain something to my husband and then again to me). When installing every thing him and Jo did their due diligence to make sure it was working properly, that I knew how everything worked and how to adjust the water temperature or shut off the water valves if I ever needed too. The pressure coming into our home was 20…. The pump he installed was smaller and quieter than was we had previously installed 3 years ago by another plumber and the water pressure in the house is now AMAZING! Someone can shower, wash the dishes, do a load of laundry and have the outside hose running ALL at the SAME time with consistent pressure. As a mom of 3 toddlers, I did appreciate that whenever they came into the house (majority of the work was done down in the basement/garage) they wore shoes covers and they left their work area nice and tidy. The Benjamin Franklin warranties on their work and equipment was also reassuring to us that they stand by their work and if anything would go wrong they would come back and check it out and make it right. If you’re looking for a plumber, I’d highly recommend using Benjamin Franklin and make sure to ask for ERIC!

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was fantastic! They came out with 25 hours notice and immediately found the issue and fixed the pipe same day. They were thoughtful and thorough in their response and even sent pics of the issue (before and after). I would highly recommend them for plumbing issues

Eric and Jo were great. Friendly and great customer service. Provided a lot of great information and explained what they were doing in a way that someone who doesn’t know about plumbing would understand. Plumbing troubles can get expensive but peace of mind is priceless. Lifelong customer thanks to these two!

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Birmingham water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Birmingham, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Birmingham plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Birmingham home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Birmingham to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Birmingham?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Birmingham property?

For most homes in Birmingham, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.For most homes in Birmingham, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Birmingham?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Birmingham home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Birmingham home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Birmingham homes?

Older homes in Birmingham often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Birmingham?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Birmingham, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Birmingham?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your AL home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
