Loy “Yetti” Yetman

Awesome experience! Quick, professional and honest about the leak I had coming from my upstairs toilet, leaking through my kitchen ceiling. Informed me of what may have caused the issue and to be aware for next time. It ended up being something simple that I could fix and saving me money.

Wilson Jones

Evan Whittington came this morning as promised. Evan was very professional and courteous, replacing both bathroom toilets. He delivered everything as promised and he's a professional technician, plumber and made sure everything was cleaned up and working to my satisfaction! Thanks again, Evan Whittington for professional service at it's best!

Susan Rich

I enjoyed meeting with Kyle. His professional approach and his knowledge of the systems is impressive. The evaluation of my concerns was thorough and supported with photographs of areas he felt were concerning. He took the time to answer my questions & was understanding of the "shock" his evaluation brought to me. He delivered tough news with care! Justin worked ALL day & into the evening to replace the HVAC system. He communicated throughout the process & carefully explained each element of the project. The work carried over to the next morning when Justin came back to make sure that everything was working as it should be working. I'm very happy with a new system in my home. Tyler worked all day to fix all of the plumbing issues that we had discussed. The new connections for all of the important joints as well as the shut-off valves now working in all of the bathrooms and kitchen is a relief to me. Installing the new faucet in the kitchen just adds a new sparkle to the room. Tyler's work was neat and professional throughout the day. he communicated constantly on what needed to be done and how he was doing. I appreciate all of the photographs that both Justin and Tyler have provided. It's great to have the documentation! I can't thank all of you enough for my safe and perfectly functioning home!

Maddy Montgomery

Not all heroes wear capes. Rodney showed up on time and quickly saved the day. Very professional, great work, happily fixed another issue on top of what I called for that he wasn’t expecting to have to do and still took care of a few extra things just to make sure everything was perfect! Definitely someone I’d call again.

Robert Pulido

Lindsey West

We had an issue with our sewer backing up due to collapsed sewer lines. We called Benjamin Franklin, and they sent someone out within the hour. They were able to find the problem quickly, answer all of our questions, and make the repairs as quickly as possible. We had an amazing experience! If you need them ask for Josh!

Kaylin Cannon

Austin was professional, thorough, efficient and very friendly. He figured out the reason why our toilet continued to clog. Since we live in a new 55+ community, we were stunned when Austin proudly revealed to us the culprit: a bright magenta-colored tampon casement. What?! Everyone here is too… Ohhh, wait. It must’ve been our niece who had visited a few months prior. Austin was an excellent clog sleuth! PS: Thanks to the Done Right tech who had no-showed, we got Austin who done awesome. 🙂

Jill Blancho

Our sink backed up, and I had calls in to two local recommend plumbers, but no one called me back. Ben Franklin got me on the schedule (even after hours on their site), and it was easy to book.I was not home for the service, but I was told the technician, Cole, was quick and efficient. It was half the price, if not lower, than a company that I had called a few years ago for the same service. I definitely will be calling them again if needed!

Ottmar Lezama

I recently had the pleasure of working with Timothy Forde. I hired him to drop a camera in my main sewage line. He was very courteous and informative. And for this specific service, their prices were reasonable. This isn’t a cheap service by any means, but they weren’t gouging.

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.
