John came out in less time than I expected! He was courteous, knowledgeable and highly professional. He was able to isolate the problem and fix it in one visit. I think I found the plumber we will use for future issues…

Jeff was very thorough and personable. He showed me what he was doing and explained the reasons behind what was happening. I felt respected and valued as a customer. I appreciate his follow up and care.

Nick

We had Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of NWA replace our hot water heater and install a smart whole-home water shutoff system. From start to finish, the entire experience was excellent. I had the pleasure of working with three different team members throughout the process—Dillon, Sergio, and Craig—and every single one of them was incredibly helpful, professional, and easy to work with. From the initial quote to the final installation, communication was clear and timely. During the install, the team encountered a unique challenge specific to my home, and rather than pushing ahead blindly, they took the time to walk me through exactly what needed to be done, why it mattered, and how they would solve it. Their transparency and attention to detail gave me full confidence in their work. The installation was completed efficiently, and everything looks and functions great. I highly recommend them for anyone needing plumbing work done right the first time. I’ll definitely be using them again for future needs!

Brenda Mitchell

Very impressed with the service I received from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Everything was explained. So knew how to process with the correct option to me. Chris showed me what he was going to due to fix the drain clog in my house. Chris was very professional and efficient and made sure clean up was done before he left. I would recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.

Eric Woschitz

Arnoldo came in on an after hours emergency call and completely swapped out the water main line to the house. It looks better than the original install. He provided excellent work and customer service and showed the upmost professionalism. I would highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.

Vickie Hallock

The technicians were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They were thorough and efficient and explained in detail options that we had with our water heater install. Benjamin Franklin plumbing is fortunate to have Hector and his coworker (so sorry I didn’t catch his name) on their team.Jon also did a good job explaining our options with the initial meeting that we had today.

Tad Dias

Robert came out quick to repair a water main leak for our home. He took pride and care explaining his repairs. After completion he reassured us of the repairs done right. Extremely fair priced compared to others in the area. I will definitely keep their number on speed dial for the future.

Plumbing FAQs

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

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

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

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Santa Cruz?

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 Santa Cruz property?

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

Do you offer plumbing financing in Santa Cruz?

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 Santa Cruz home?

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

Older homes in Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Santa Cruz, 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 Santa Cruz?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your CA home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
