Blair Wagemann

I had already been without hot water for over a week when these two neatly dressed, extremely polite, and really good-looking young men filed into my house. They were from Benjamin Franklin plumbing and were going to inspect my water heater and give me an estimate for its repair; which they quickly did. I liked the way Aaron took the time to explain to me the reasons that the old water heater needed to be replaced instead of being repaired, but my heart sank when I saw the estimate. When I last bought a water 6heater some 20 yrs ago, the heater cost about $600 and the total with labor was about $1100. The current price was $2750! My retirement income was $1400/month so I sadly told Aaron that I couldn't afford a new heater, especially since my car had bitten the dust three weeks before. When you live alone in a rural area, you must have a car, so I was going to have to get used to cold water. Aaron said he would try to find some charities that were willing to help someone like me, but after he'd spent over an hour calling around without success, I gave up hope and told them goodbye. Imagine my stunned surprise when Benjamin Franklin plumbing called me several mornings later and said that they were combining the offers from several different charities to have enough to pay for a brand new water heater plus installation! Aaron and his crew showed up that afternoon and cleaned out my water heater closet.(They wouldn't let me do it.) They drained the old unit, detached it from my plumbing, then removed it from my property. Next they wheeled in a new one and installed it with all the bells and whistles. For example, they put the tank in a drip tray, so if it should (God forbid) leak, then my floor will be protected. This one also has a tiny tank built in above it to catch any overflow from up there. Pretty neat. The guys worked tirelessly but efficiently for a couple of hours.When it was done, they cleaned the work area and took away the trash. They never let me do any of the work, and they never took a single dime.And it works great! I have been so blessed by my encounter with Benjamin Franklin. I had been slowly spiraling down into depression, but now I'm walking with a lighter step. I feel special and full of hope again. This really did happen to ME! It's incredible!

This is best experience with a plumbing company I’ve ever had. Moreau the plumber looked at the job and right away knew what to do, he fixed it and made us very happy. What more can you ask for. I’ll definitely be using Ben Franklin from here on out!

Kaitlyn OHara

Woke up with no water. Pat was quick, friendly, showed me pictures and explained what happened and the solution. Discussed things to look out for and restored the water quickly. Pat is skilled and will use them again if needed!

Never a convenient time when water pipe breakages happen! Monday evening on a holiday. I called Benjamin Franklin at 9:20 pm with an emergency call. Tom K. was the service tech assigned. He contacted me within 30 minutes of my call to let me know he was enroute. He showed up well presented, clean cut and in uniform. Very well mannered, professional, and knowledgeable. After I explained what happened and the action I had taken, he explained my options. He was thorough and made sure I understood everything. We decided on the least costly option knowing that after he opened a small hole in the drywall would determine whether I would have a larger problem or not. Fortunately for me it was not the worse case scenario and it was something Tom could fix. He was finished within a couple hours and I had water again. I cannot express enough, my gratitude for Tom K. and Benjamin Franklin. I will not hesitate to contact them for any future plumbing repairs and/or new installations.

Katie Quiroz

Called for an estimate and they had a tech out to my house within 20 minutes on a Friday afternoon. Michael looked at the hot water heater (why I called) and did a free home inspection while he was there. He was quick and explained everything and answered my questions. They scheduled me for Monday, and Michael came back out to replace my hot water heater and fix my bathtub handles and faucets that were leaking. Whoever had done my repairs before hadn’t used the correct parts, making the work a little more difficult than expected, but Michael got the correct parts needed and got the job done! The pricing was reasonable, much less than other places I had gotten quotes from (one wanted $1000 more!), and the estimate was free which is harder to find nowadays! Several other places wanted to charge $50-$75 just to come look at it. I’m glad I found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. I will definitely use them again should I need anything else and I recommend you use them as well! Michael was phenomenal and took the time to answer my questions and explain everything in a way that made sense!

Ryan communicated when he was en rout and showed up on time. I explained my issue and he immediately understood the situation. Offered a great solution and executed the work in a professional and timely manner. Would highly recommend.

Plumbing FAQs

What are the safest first steps to take when a sink or tub drain starts backing up?

Stop running water to that fixture, then try a plunger if it is a sink, tub, or shower. Skip harsh chemicals since they can damage pipes and make a clog harder to remove. If the backup keeps coming back, a plumber can clear the line and confirm there is not a deeper blockage.

How do I know if my clog is just in the P-trap under the sink or deeper in the drain line?

If only one sink is slow and other drains are fine, it is often close to the fixture, like the P-trap or the branch line. If you remove and clean the P-trap and the sink is still slow, the clog is likely farther down and may need professional tools to clear it fully.

What is the difference between snaking and hydro jetting for drain cleaning?

Snaking is designed to break through or pull out a blockage, but it may leave residue on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to wash buildup off the inside of the pipe, which can be helpful for heavy grease, sludge, or recurring buildup. A plumber may recommend a camera check first to choose the safest option for the pipe condition.

When is a camera inspection worth it for a recurring drain problem?

A camera inspection is useful when a clog returns quickly, when clearing only works for a short time, or when you want to confirm what is actually causing the slowdown. It can pinpoint buildup, broken sections, or misaligned piping so the fix is targeted instead of guesswork. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Tom Bean can use camera inspections to help identify the cause before repairs.

Can hard water in Grayson County contribute to slow drains?

Yes. Mineral scale from hard water can gradually narrow sections of piping and catch soap scum and debris more easily, especially in bathroom drains. If you notice frequent buildup and slower draining even after basic cleaning, a plumber can recommend a cleaning method that removes scale safely and helps reduce repeat clogs.

What should I avoid putting down the kitchen sink to reduce clogs over time?

Avoid pouring grease, oil, and fatty food scraps down the drain, even with hot water. Starchy foods like rice and pasta can swell, and coffee grounds tend to collect and form a dense sludge. Using a sink strainer and wiping greasy pans before washing can make a big difference.

What are the best practices for using a garbage disposal without clogging the drain?

Run cold water before and after using the disposal, feed small amounts at a time, and avoid fibrous items like celery, corn husks, or onion skins that can tangle. Eggshells and stringy peels can also build up in the line. If clogs happen often, it may be a drain issue beyond the disposal and worth a professional look in the Tom Bean area.
