Sam was terrific. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and skillful. He fixed our hot water tank and added an expansion tank to relieve the water pressure. All of this was done very quickly and at an unbelievably low price. We feared the worst (a new water heater) and we were very pleasantly surprised!
Linda Marshal
This was a required inspection for Township. Sam was efficient, polite and friendly. He explained the work that needs to be performed to meet requirements. Stay tuned for repair work and pricing. Work was completed 12/1 quickly and there was a change to one repair so they had to get another part to replace the broken one. They worked fast and completed the job, called out the inspector to test it. All was well. Lucas and Sam were great.

Benjamin Franklin is our go-to plumbing company for a reason. Our home has had some very complex plumbing needs since we purchased it and they have been able to resolve every single one. We know we can trust them for jobs both large and small and we appreciate that they take the time to educate young homeowners like ourselves who know little to nothing about plumbing. We most recently worked with Collin who was very kind, efficient, and punctual. We really appreciate that when the company had a cancellation they offered to finish work on our home sooner rather than later. Always nice to get stuff crossed off of the to-do list!

Jesse performed an assessment of the house sewer system using a line inspection camera. He is knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. I am pleased with the work he did and the way he presented options for staying ahead of problems. I would use Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for future work.

We needed a lit of work done on a house that had been empty for a year. John installed all new plumbing/drain for the washer, an added laundry tub plus replacing the whole house water shut off valve. He was great at working with our situation and explained all that he was doing.

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Pittsburgh, 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 Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh 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.

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Pittsburgh 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.
Older homes in Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh, 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 PA home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
