Jose Ruiz

Had a great experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Needed help with my water heater. They knew exactly what was wrong and repaired it within a couple of hours. Highly recommend.

J I

Absolutely amazing! This company I used because they had great reviews... came out same day, Scott was so professional, knowledgeable, and took his time explaining every detail to me. I couldn't be more happy with their service. Even their schedulers were great! Not scripted, just genuinely sincere and professional! Sadly not too many companies are like that anymore. I'm a forever customer. I won't call anyone else !

Kevin Judice

I cannot say enough good things. They are wonderful at what they do and charge a reasonable rate. They will include you in every single thing they do. Absolute professionals with an amazing work ethic and a great sense of humor ad well...(check out their Halloween pic)! I can't recommend them highly enough!

Stephen Healey

BFP provided septic services for my home. I highly recommended them. Their use of communication technology is superb, and their response time was just what I needed—immediate. Eric Card performed the service, and a helpful text pinged in when he arrived. It shared his picture, and I knew who I was dealing with. He diagnosed my situation expertly and shared his knowledge in a friendly, confident way. A+ firm. I will definitely hire them again.

Joseph Whitlow

Scheduling appointment was quick and easy. Michael Opp did an excellent job of explaining the problem at my home, actually showing me a picture of the problem and a quick schedule for making the repair. This experience was by far the best I’ve had for quite some time!!

Nicole Liguori

My garbage disposal, sink, & dishwasher were leaking & Joshua Forti was my service technician. Joshua was knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, & courteous. He fixed the problem quickly & efficiently. I will definitely reach out to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing & ask for Joshua for any future plumbing issues I may have. Highly recommended!

Sam Visger

Professional, informative, and precision worker are how I'd describe our impression of Sean today. Quick to identify and correct the issues and he left the area clean as it was when he got here. Couldn't be happier, we will be sure to recommend your service to all. Thanks.

William James

I hired Ben Franklin plumbing to replace the ‘cartridge’ inside the master shower valve (Kohler K-306). Ben Franklin installed it originally. The valve started to leak due to the internal gaskets (at least 5) that normally wear out. The valve is about 15 years old and is a supersized version of a typical Kohler temp rite. To replace the cartridges and the gaskets costs about $240 (Labor only). I ordered the two parts myself directly from Kohler for about $300. The installer did a great job. This job is finicky and Ben Franklin handled it well. The gaskets even when initially put in place can move during install. Once they are installed however they stay put.

I called the company earlier this morning after discovering a leak in the cold-water faucet for our washing machine. Within minutes of reaching out through Thumbtack, the repairman, John, contacted us and arrived promptly. He provided an upfront estimate, explaining both the lower and higher end of the potential cost depending on what was required. John clearly outlined three possible scenarios: removing the remaining piece of the hose and reattaching a new one, repairing just the cold-water faucet itself, or cutting into the wall to replace the section of pipe leading to the faucet. Unfortunately, the pipe was bent and rusted, so it had to be replaced—which required cutting into the wall. However, I was comfortable with that decision because John had explained this possibility from the start. He was professional, fair with his pricing, and very respectful of our home and workspace. Given how quickly they responded and completed the job, I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of plumbing repairs.

Michael England is a brilliant technician. His expertise is of the highest order. Additionally his willingness to explain every aspect of the work being performed - down to the smallest detail - is an invaluable addition to the high quality work and advice being provided. As a demanding customer, I could not be more pleased.

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.
