Scott Cassady

I work for a management company in St Augustine. Saturday around 4-5 pm we had an issue at one of our properties. Our normal local vendor was not available. I contacted no less than 8 plumbers who say they have emergency service and none would come out. I couldn’t believe that as again it was still fairly early, it wasn’t like it was 1 am. The next on the google list was Benjamin Franklin plumbing. The person who answered was friendly and very helpful. They worked with their dispatch to make sure someone would be out. They explained it would not be for a few hours but someone would be out. I got a call around 8:30 from Chris the tech who would be coming. He told me he was on his way and what time he would be there. Chris arrived right when he said he would. I must say Chris was fantastic. This is an older property in the heart of downtown, so things were not easy. Chris worked through everything and resolved the issue. I can’t say enough great things about Chris and the entire experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. From now on, they will be my first call when I need a plumbing vendor.

Ray was honest and up-front about the work. We had an older tankless water heater and after going through some checks, he recommended that our unit was working fine and we did not need to do the service that was originally requested. He saved us a few bucks but I was more impressed that he did not push for a sale when one was not needed.

Eric

I was so impressed by the professionalism and knowledge of the technician. He was so efficient with his work and helped us make the right decision for our plumbing needs. We would definitely recommend Benjamin Franklin plumbing of Plymouth Canton and their wonderful technician Matthew.!

Ashlee Clifton (Tarkowski)

Great experience. They came out timely, walked us through the problems we were having, and then talked through various options and estimates. Our plumber, Zack, was patient and professional as we asked so many questions. I also appreciate that the service fee gets absorbed into the final price if you move forward with them. Not all places do that.

Tammy Pruitt

Tim was very helpful and quickly diagnosed our issue. We have more work to be done and hopefully tim will be involved with that work as well. This is our 3rd time using benjamin Franklin plumbing and was never disappointed.

Ronnie Gatley

Did a great job of fixing a water leak caused by an other contractor and needing to replace pipes and valves. Had to have the water company come out to turn off and on the water from outside and let them know it was an emergency. Came out within minutes. Thanks Patrick!

San Diego Sign Setters

We had the wonderful experience of meeting Oscar and his team! Veteran-owned, value-based, and high-quality work. Their attention to detail is the difference maker. They ensure they are on time, and they are licensed and bonded.

Sanny Jimenez

I had an excellent experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Huntington Beach. Brandon was professional, punctual, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to explain the entire process clearly, which made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. The service was top notch from start to finish and was done on time, efficient, and respectful of my home. I highly recommend them if you're looking for honest, reliable plumbing service. Thanks again, Brandon!

Norman Sanchez

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing provided excellent service from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, was professional, and clearly explained the work being done. The job completed was efficient with fair and transparent pricing. They're a new and upcoming business with motivated and humble personnel who are eager to serve the community's plumbing needs in all areas. Overall, a dependable and customer-focused company I would gladly recommend.

Kenneth Nesbit

On 10/27/2025 Josh and Carson did a great job for us. The shower controls in Master Bath were faulty and required a complete replacement. This required a good bit of work. While Josh worked on the shower, Carson replaced two sink faucets. At the completion Josh pointed out a piece was missing in the shower, said everything would work, and would be back on Wednesday to finish. On 10/29/2025 Josh returned and finished up the job and even put a second screw in the shower head holder. Josh and Carson were efficient and professional. I consider them to be my plumbing specialists.

Plumbing FAQs

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

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Charleston, 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 Charleston plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Charleston 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 Charleston to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Charleston?

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 Charleston property?

For most homes in Charleston, 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 Charleston, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Charleston?

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 Charleston home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Charleston 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 Charleston homes?

Older homes in Charleston 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 Charleston?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Charleston, 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 Charleston?

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