William Worth

Prompt and responsive. I had two separate problems both an old house with old plumbing. John was able to diagnose the Chronic issue I had with my bathroom sink not draining. He recommended a course of action, but also gave me the option for a cheaper possible fix. I took his recommendation. To replace a span of galvanized pipe that he thought was probably the culprit. He and his coworker also replaced an outdoor spigot That had been in operative for two years and required quite a bit of attention. For the diagnostics and work involves, including sawing through galvanized, steel pipes and the fact that everything works perfectly, I have no complaints at all. Everything was done at the same time. It was not inexpensive, but the price I paid reflected the work and diagnostics and parts and the speed of service.

I recently had my water heater replaced by Benjamin Franklin Plumbing over the weekend, and I could not be more pleased with the service. John, the service technician, was courteous, knowledgeable, and respectful of the space. From the initial dispatch to the on-site service, the Durham team worked seamlessly together. I’ve written reviews for various services in the past—from HVAC to car washes—and I’ve never given a 5-star rating before. This experience, however, truly deserves it. Their service fee was the lowest I could find, and the replacement cost was right in line with what my neighbor had paid. Most importantly, they were available on a weekend and completed the replacement and installation of the new water heater all in the same day. Thank you, John, for a job exceptionally well done.

Jeff Philips

I would highly recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing. The communication with the office and the team in the field was outstanding! They were also prompt and courteous. I was impressed with the quality of work as well. We had a leaky filter case and pipes coming off my pressure tank were rusting. Here are before and after photos. The entire process went smooth and easy.

Steven Dillard

Jason explained all while doing the work and made sure water pressure and everything was working prior to completion. I would recommend this company for all plumbing services. Had leak of water valve to tankless water heater.

We had a hose bib replaced by Benjamin Franklin plumbing. They were very responsive and were able to work us in even sooner than scheduled. Zach did a great job! He was very communicative and efficient. Would definitely hire them again!
