Ethan Lollis

Excellent service from start to finish. The plumber was punctual, knowledgeable, and efficient. The issue was fixed properly, and the pricing was fair. I appreciate the professionalism and would recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing work.

Larry Wogoman

The gentlemen (JT) did a great job on the 3 drains he cleaned, cleaned the mess and was very professional. I do have an issue with the invoice total. I paid $659,00, I think it should have been $560, if my addition/subtraction is correct. Pls review invoice and let me know. Best regards , Larry Wogoman

Stewart L

Good work. Quick turnout. Clear communication. Tim did such a good job we felt we needed to bring up out right away for another job! P.S. Google Isn't letting me give a third review, but Tim has been out to our place to repair two broken pressure tanks, a water heater, one broken well pump, plus installing a new spigot and a junction box AND install a magnetic water treatment device for me. It's been an expensive month, but Benjamin Franklin and Tim have been nothing but great.

Jacqui Lovejoy

Andrew was exactly what we needed in a very stressful time with a clogged and backed up kitchen, right before the holiday. No time is good for a plumbing issue. Thankful to get him out the next morning after a late evening call, his thoroughness, cleanliness where he worked, and kind hearted personality to keep things less stressful was beyond expectations. Highly recommend this company, their honest investigating, up front pricing, and complete focus to get things done correctly.

We called Michael from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing after a broken pipe caused some water damage in our home. He coordinated perfectly with our drywall contractor to locate the leak and repaired it quickly. Michael was incredibly easy to talk to and very patient with all of our questions. We highly recommend Michael and the rest of the team for anyone in need of reliable plumbing services!

Robert Carter

Israel responded immediately after 10 days of delays from another company. Within one hour, he had issue completely resolved and corrected several serious issues created by plumber from the other company. Israel is extremely knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. He took time to explain the issues throughout the repair, ensuring I understood the issues. Excellent tech, great company!!!

Edina Mauvana

Great experience! The tech arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and didn’t pressure me at all. The work was clean and priced fairly. I’ll definitely call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Roseville again.

Tomy Ivan

Great Service. Tom and his helper were very nice and showed concern about my issue. Although he was not able to duplicate the problem he removed the shower valve with some difficulty to inspect it and found it in very good condition. He said he would research the issue and keep me informed. Thank you Tom!!

Bunny Crockett

Tom and Brandon came out to give me a quote and they were far and above more professional than any other quotes I got. They took the time to actually see where my drainage pipes were, spending plenty of time in my home before giving me a quote. They even climbed up on the roof and it was dark, but they worked together as a team and located the pipes.The other quotes I got stood in the doorway, talked for five minutes and said they would send me a quote.. These guys put on shoe protectors to walk through my laminate floors, laid down floor covering and cleaned up after themselves during the installation. They were clean cut and in a uniform. Like I said they were far and above anybody else who gave me a quote. I just trusted them immediately. I requested that these two do my installation and they made that happen. I will use them again without hesitation for any thing in 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.
