Maria Camacho

Water heater repair in Lincoln—fast and professional. Our water heater quit in the morning. I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for water heater repair in Lincoln, and they had hot water running by lunchtime. The tech explained options for water heater installation and tankless upgrades too. Great experience—highly recommend for Lincoln and Granite Bay homeowners.

Maha Dayem

Our water bill kept climbing, and no one could find the cause until we called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Their leak detection team found a slab leak under the floor using advanced equipment — no unnecessary digging! They fixed it neatly and explained preventive steps. Five stars for professionalism and expertise.

They installed new fixtures, rerouted lines, and coordinated perfectly with our contractor. The crew was friendly, respectful, and always on schedule. It’s rare to find such dependable plumbers in Loomis — highly recommended!

Hala Salman

Best drain cleaning in Roseville. We had a slow drains in our kitchen and bathroom, so we booked drain cleaning in Roseville. The plumber used a camera to show what was blocking the pipe and cleaned it completely. I appreciate how transparent and professional they were. Definitely my go-to plumber in Roseville from now on.

Emily Townsend

Brandon has went above and beyond to help us understand our problem every step of the way. Brian came today and did the repair of our slab leak and was quick and put everything back as was as best he could. Brandon stopped by as well to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend this company!

Henry Farmer

Arrived in timely manner. Explained what would be done and kept me updated on any delays. Explained the repair (root wrapped around pipe and pressure eventually broke the pipe). I guess 25 yrs w/o any issues is pretty good.

Ricky Perry

James was very professional and experienced. He did a great job and kept me informed about the repairs as he fixed them.

Pan Horton

We have a small drip in our clawfoot tub and we’re looking to get it fixed. After talking with Tim about having to replace the faucet we decided to put it off a little while. Tim was very helpful and knowledgeable about different approaches to solving the problem!

Skyler Holden

Ryan did great work getting my main sewage line cleaned out. Kept my house clean in the process and was willing to answer my questions as he worked, which I really appreciated. Friendly and great work!
