Jamie Reigel

On one of our toughest days as homeowners, Pronto came through immediately to repair a frozen pipe that flooded our basement. It was an emotional day but Patrick G. Came and was so kind and so knowledgeable. He really put my mind at ease and went above and beyond to explain different things to my husband and I. His kindness meant so much in a rough time! He got the job done in no time. I would DEF use this company for any needs in the future!!!

Stuart Norton

Brandon and Jessie were very understanding and conscious of my situation. They provided numerous solutions and patience while waiting for my decision. Very helpful with NO pressure. After finalizing my choice, Jose and Nate arrived and immediately diagnosed the issue. Calmly and like a well oiled machine were able to snake the clog(s). Then explained then potential hazards of an old home and some prevention steps to keep in mind. When they left, everything was virtually cleaner than when they arrived. The whole experience, with all four gentlemen, was calming, professional, and reassuring.

Mitch Fletcher

Super impressed with my initial experience. Technician, Shawn Carnes, Was on time, very professional and very knowledgeable. It’s obvious what Benjamin Franklin‘s mission is, and I was happy to sign up and be a part of it. Definitely refreshing from a service perspective. Well done.

Amber Mustafaga

Our condo building had an emergency with a huge water leak. Ryan responded very quickly. Rod and Dave worked so hard and fixed the leak. Communication was great. Highly recommend this team!

Rita Cruz

Everything was left clean and working perfectly. I really appreciated his honesty and clear communication. I would definitely recommend Alejandro to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled plumber.

Sheona Singh

Kevin Otoole with Benjamin Franklin was fantastic, knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. He explained everything clearly and replaced the part as soon as it arrived for my tankless water heater. Great service and highly recommend!

Jerold Davison

Mason is one of the best technical plumbing specialists I have ever met. He analyzed each issue in the house and then completed them in order of importance. At the end he inspected each issue to insure they were properly installed to his satisfaction. Excellent job Mason!

Charlotte Jones

Marshall is outstanding! He found answers to my concerns! He even got his hands dirty checking in the ground for my water meter! I will call for further help as needed! Outstanding!! He emailed recommendations for my son to review. No repairs as yet. I have toilet issues and outrageous water bill charges. He also gave advice regarding a water filtration system I have.

James Cox

Josh and Jonathan were great, they were early for the appointment and the work on the maintenance and installation was great and all work was completed that same afternoon. Very professional, the price was good and all the work was explained well and done neatly and the work area cleaned after completion. I will be happy to recommend both of them and Ben Franklin

Levi Leister

We had water dripping down from our ceiling in our entry way due to a leaking supply line above and Bailey F. got there right on time and had us fixed up with water again in our home within two hours! Bailey was clean, very professional, punctual and he explained everything on what was going on in full detail. He serviced our heating boiler system two months prior and he provided the same excellent service then! That’s what brought us back to Freedom Plumbing for our supply line issue today! Freedom Plumbing will continue to be our go-to service for years to come. Be sure to give Bailey a raise! The guy is worth every penny!! 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.
