Dana Bowman

Our experience with Benjamin Franklin plumbing of Milford was truly 5 star.Tankless hot water heater professionally installed within 24 hours of first call. Matthew was so very knowledgeable and helpful in our time of need with having a water emergency on New Year’s Eve. This company will always be our first call for all our plumbing needs from this day forward. Thank you for great service!

They were able to squeeze me in on an emergency basis. However I was able to have the septic company unclog the main to the house and needed to cancel the appointment.

Plumbing FAQs

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

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

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

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Milford?

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 Milford property?

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

Do you offer plumbing financing in Milford?

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 Milford home?

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

Older homes in Milford 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 Milford?

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

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.
