Kat Hinnenkamp-Jones

Owner is very attentive to detail and very polite. I would highly recommend using this service for any of your needs!

Hala Salman

Best drain cleaning in Roseville. We had a slow drains in our kitchen and bathroom, so we booked drain cleaning in Roseville. The plumber used a camera to show what was blocking the pipe and cleaned it completely. I appreciate how transparent and professional they were. Definitely my go-to plumber in Roseville from now on.

Emily Townsend

Brandon has went above and beyond to help us understand our problem every step of the way. Brian came today and did the repair of our slab leak and was quick and put everything back as was as best he could. Brandon stopped by as well to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend this company!

Henry Farmer

Arrived in timely manner. Explained what would be done and kept me updated on any delays. Explained the repair (root wrapped around pipe and pressure eventually broke the pipe). I guess 25 yrs w/o any issues is pretty good.

Joseph Schmidt

Cody was awesome and knew what to do. He was very clear about everything and very knowledgeable plus very pleasant to talk to. Because of Cody I'm going to set up an account with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. I am the chair person and responsible for 80 condominium in Southbrook court condominiums in Hudsonville Michigan. Cody should be my contact person. I loved working with him. Joe Schmidt .

Katie Morrison

We recently got a tankless water heater and the whole team took great care of us! After our originally water heater busted after almost 20 years, causing some damage, we reached out to Benjamin Franklin who took excellent care of us! The piece of mind knowing that we won’t have gallons of water exploding in our attic is enough to invest in a tankless. They were very attentive to taking care of my new carpet and made sure everything was perfect when the job was done. If anyone is looking for a tankless, I highly suggest Benjamin Franklin’s team to handle your needs. Thanks again.

Joy Zaccaria

We had an issue with a backyard faucet that broke and was gushing water. We looked up emergency plumbers and found Ben Franklin. The phone call was answered by a human and she helped guide us through turning off the water main to the house while we were waiting for the plumber to arrive. In about an hour to 90 minutes Joe arrived, identified the problem, gave us an estimate and commenced to fixing it. Joe was respectful of our home (taking off his sneakers, it was raining out), he explained what he was going to do and then did the work. We are very appreciative of Joe's expertise and great work! Also appreciative of him working efficiently and in a timely fashion. Thanks so much, Joe!

Jennifer Greising

Seth Overcash came over to give me a quote for some needed repairs. He is very professional, personable, thorough, answered all my questions and he’s a dog lover! I highly recommend Ben Franklin and One Hour heating and Cooling to everyone. They have the best customer service, technicians, and are here to help you every step of the way. Thank you, Seth!

Kevin Hefner

Michael England from Benjamin Frankly provided me with excellent service. Plus when ever I had a question he would use it as teaching moment to explain the pros and cons of different plumbing methods. Michael also placed all needed information onto the work he completed, if I ever find the need to call on a plumber again. The next plumber will know the history of the work that has been done. Michael also worked with my schedule and so I did not have to work my schedule around his.

Linda Miller

We discovered a huge plumbing mistake made years ago during the construction/remodel of two of our bathrooms which caused a small leak that eventually resulted in the production of black mold inside the walls and ceiling of our home. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing sent Jesse and Kyle out to access the damage and propose a solution. Kyle was able to reconstruct and reroute all of the plumbing between these two bathrooms and bring it up to code within 48 hours. It was a major project that was repaired quickly and efficiently. Both Jesse and Kyle were very knowledgeable, explained every step, and were respectful of our home. We highly recommend this company and these two great plumbers. Thank you.

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.
