Oakley removed the old systems and installed a new tankless water heater, water softener system and a laundry sink. It looks great. He was on time, friendly, gave good explanations, and answered all of my questions. His attention to detail is wonderful. Everyone that I worked with from start to finish was very customer service driven. Great company with great employees.
Kimberly Raco
Highly impressed with Oakly and team w/ Southsota from start to finish! Initially called for a water heater issue and he went above and beyond, taking the time to answer our questions and provide detailed information and options. No hard sell or pressure, just shared honest expert opinion. We went with his recommended solution and install day was a breeze, very prompt, efficient and super clean job! We're SO happy with our water now and so glad we called for that second opinion! Shout-outs to other team members Nick and Kaden, and everyone we talked to on the office calls as well.

My experience with Benjamin Franklin Southsota was great! They were flexible with scheduling and communication, arrived early (after calling in advance to verify that was okay), and completed the requested work efficiently! The plumber I worked with, Oakly, was professional, courteous, and explained what he as doing. He also informed me about Benjamin Franklin’s customer program and other work I may want to consider in the future. Very satisfied and thankful for the work done!

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Northfield, 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.
If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Northfield 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 Northfield to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.
We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.
For most homes in Northfield, 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.

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.
Older homes in Northfield 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.
To get your plumbing ready for winter in Northfield, 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.
Signs of a damaged sewer line in your MN home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
