Fran Lerro

I used Benjamin Franklin plumbing to clean out a wastewater pipe 2 days ago. They did an excellent job. They then offered, at no cost, to come out and put a video camera in the pipe to see if there were any problems. This was an extra service provided by them at no cost. The technician today was very knowledgeable. For this they get another excellent rating. I would recommend this company to others. Thank you for a job well done.

BEST SERVICE start to finish. Had a pipe burst from the cold. Next day and we’re back online, water flowing, no more leaks. Sean arrived earlier than scheduled, was knowledgeable, efficient, polite, and effective. Answered all my questions and was upfront with cost which was extremely fair and well below what I had assumed it would be. Replaced multiple pipes and assessed other issues. The silver lining of this experience is I have found my plumber for any future issues that may arise, completely sold on their services. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sean arrived to promptly to diagnose my current plumbing issues at hand which includes resin tank servicing on my water softener system. He was exceptional with his delivery, additionally uncovered a trap leak in the crawlspace. He will be back to perform the work. Ben Franklin can be trusted and values its customers which is rare to find.

Nancy Mastandrea

Had a Sump pump issue for a few days. Called our local BF office who we have an Annual account with. Explained our issue and had a Plumber there the next day. He assessed the problem which required a new Sump. It was replaced and functional within 45 minutes of his arrival. He was professional and efficient. Gave use a great price and wonderful service. Highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Dover and Sean for any plumbing need.

Maureen Rouse

Sean was awesome. He took apart the connections that were needed before they could put in my new countertops. Came back two days later and reattached everything. We will be replacing our bathroom countertops and will need Sean again. Thanks so much Sean, the faucet looks and runs great.

Plumbing FAQs

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

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

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

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Dover?

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 Dover property?

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

Do you offer plumbing financing in Dover?

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 Dover home?

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

Older homes in Dover 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 Dover?

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

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