Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Highlands is an established community on the San Jacinto River just west of Baytown in Harris County. It’s a tight-knit, working-class area with deep roots, riverside neighborhoods, and a mix of older and newer homes. Its river setting and mature housing give Highlands a distinctive plumbing profile, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Baytown and Dayton serves it on time, every time.
On time, every time: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Highlands home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Baytown and Dayton service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Sitting along the San Jacinto River, Highlands faces real flood risk. Heavy rain and hurricanes have hit the area hard, so backwater valves, drainage, and sump pumps for low-lying lots matter here. Like the rest of the region, Highlands sits on expansive clay that shifts slab foundations and the pipes within them, making slab leaks common, while its older homes may carry aging galvanized or cast-iron lines worth repiping.
Highlands' water is hard, like the broader Baytown area, so softeners and filtration are worthwhile, and some properties on the rural edges rely on private wells and septic. Summers are hot and humid, driving heavy water use, and the occasional hard winter freeze can burst the uninsulated pipes common in a climate that rarely sees one.

Highlands' mix of riverside homes, older houses, and rural-edge properties fits our full range: flood protection, slab leak detection, repiping, softeners, and well service. We arrive on time and resolve most calls on the first visit, with up-front pricing on larger work.
Highlands' river setting makes storm readiness key. Before hurricane season, check drainage and any backwater valve given the San Jacinto's flood history. Before winter, insulate exposed pipes against the occasional hard freeze. Flush the water heater yearly for the hard water, and watch for slab leaks as the clay shifts.

Found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta through our Decatur neighborhood group after some questionable work from another plumber. They are trustworthy and no hassle at all. Exactly what this town needs. You won’t regret calling these guys—they’re awesome!
Andrew Anselmo
Tech were prompt and had the repair done in no time. Very professional and thorough. Explained every option and listened to my questions and concerns. Highly recommend
Cheri Carver
Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.
Kelly Harter
Tyler was helpful, courteous, and efficient. He explained the process in terms we could easily understand and worked with us to find the most convenient time to return to complete the job. We would definitely feel comfortable having him work for us again.

Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!
Cynthia V. Bell
The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.

Jason Eckert diagnosed my plumbing leak issue quickly and explained the fix needed, provided an estimate, and quickly completed the job. Good communication, and all around pleasant to deal with. Thanks!

Krystyne Bryan
Angel C was in fact a literal angel. He was extremely kind and professional. Up front about costs and quotes. This was my first time having to hire someone for an home repair and was very nervous about the process but he was amazing. I will definitely be a returning customer ( if I have to be ) and will be requesting Angel! Seriously cannot thank him enough!
Yes. Highlands' position on the San Jacinto River raises flooding and sewer-backup risk. Backwater valves, good drainage, and sump pumps for low lots are wise defenses. We assess and install.
Expansive clay soil shifts with moisture and stresses the pipes inside your slab, causing slab leaks. We pinpoint them with non-destructive detection.
If it has corroding galvanized or failing cast-iron lines, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect for rusty water, low pressure, and recurring leaks, and recommend honestly.
Yes. Some rural-edge properties are on private wells; we service well pumps, pressure tanks, and treatment.
Yes, around the clock, every day, with the On-Time Guarantee and no after-hours fees.
