Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing in Greensboro, NC

What are common plumbing issues in older Greensboro homes?

Read More Many homes in neighborhoods like Fisher Park and Lindley Park were built decades ago and often face problems like cracked sewer lines, corroded galvanized pipes, low water pressure, and tree root intrusion. These aging systems can lead to frequent backups or slow drainage. Professional inspections and timely upgrades, such as repiping or sewer line replacement, can help prevent costly repairs.

 

How do I know if I need water line repair in Greensboro?

Read More If you notice unexplained spikes in your water bill, soggy spots in your yard, or a drop in water pressure, it may indicate a water line leak or break. In Greensboro, older ‘black roll’, galvanized steel, and polybutylene lines are prone to failure due to shifting soil and material failures. A licensed plumber can diagnose the issue with leak detection tools and recommend repair or fullwater line replacement if needed.

 

Do Greensboro homes need sump pumps?

Read More Homes with basements or crawlspaces, especially in South Greensboro or near Lake Daniel, often benefit from sump pump installation due to seasonal storms and an increasingly higher water table. A properly installed sump pump helps prevent flooding, water damage, and mold, making it a smart investment for long-term protection.

 

Can you repair or replace a water heater the same day?

Read More Yes, in many cases we offer same-day water heater repair or installation in Greensboro. Our trucks are fully stocked to handle common issues like failed heating elements, faulty valves, or leaking tanks. If a replacement is needed, we help you choose the right mode, whether it’s a traditional tank or tankless water heater, based on your home’s usage and energy goals.

 

What’s the difference between residential and commercial plumbing?

Read More Residential plumbing typically involves smaller pipe diameters, lower water pressure demands, and fewer fixtures, whereas commercial plumbing systems, like those in restaurants, schools, and retail spaces, require higher capacity, compliance with building codes, and often more frequent maintenance. Our team handles both, butcommercial plumbing services are tailored to minimize disruption to your business operations.

 

What should I do during a plumbing emergency in Greensboro?

Read More If you experience a burst pipe, overflowing toilet, or sudden water heater failure, turn off the water supply and call foremergency plumbing services immediately. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® offers emergency response across Greensboro and the Triad, including weekends and holidays.

 

Is it worth upgrading to a tankless water heater in Greensboro?

Read More A tankless water heater offers continuous hot water, improved energy efficiency, and a smaller footprint, which makes it ideal for many Greensboro homes. While the upfront cost is higher than traditional tanks, long-term savings and convenience often make it a worthwhile upgrade, especially for larger households or homes with limited space.

 

How often should plumbing be inspected?

Read More We recommend a professional plumbing inspection every 1–2 years, particularly in older homes or if you’ve noticed slow drains, recurring leaks, or changes in water pressure. Routine inspections can catch small issues early and extend the life of your plumbing system.

Brian Ruffing

We found our hot water tank to be leaking and no hot water and we needed a replacement ASAP. Looked into a few companies in Medina and Benjamin Franklin seemed to have the best reviews and customer experience, so we gave them a call at noon on a Saturday. They were able to send out a tech, Mike P, same day and he came to our house at 5 pm. Explained Mike the situation of the tank and additionally a few other plumbing issues that we were experiencing. Mike was able to replace the hot water tank and haul out the old one in 3 hours, on the same evening! Would definitely recommend Mike P and Benjamin Franklin when you are in dire straits with a plumbing situation. Mike P also gave us some recommendations of other issues we have and general tips to keep our plumbing system and water tank cleaner and longer lasting. We will be reaching to BF and Mike for any future plumbing needs!!

Jeff, Kaden, and Shawn from B. F. Plumbing of Delmarva have done a most amazing job on setting up my new water filtration system, as well as, with the installation of new bathroom toilets and table tops.

Luke was fantastic! He was professional, prompt, very knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to explain what needed to be done in a manner we could understand. We were very impressed with work and professionalism. Definitely would work with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing again!!

Christina Correia

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a great experience with Frank from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. He installed a Moen fixture for me and did an excellent job. Frank was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was working perfectly before he left. He explained the installation clearly and took the time to answer my questions. The quality of his work really stood out, and I appreciate how efficient and courteous he was. I would definitely recommend Frank and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to anyone in need of reliable plumbing service.

K Beats

Tom Louchren is a fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable plumber. If your pipes are clogged or you are in need of another plumbing service, he's your man. I cannot recommend his services enough! I can also give Tom props for being an incredible, helpful salesman. He hooked my wife and I up with an amazing financing setup to pay off a replacement pipe from our house to the septic tank. And unlike some service companies. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing uses an actual financing company you can trust, and not some dumb bank pushing a credit card.

Rebecca Howarth

We had service from Benjamin Franklin and could not be more pleased. They are honest decent people which is hard to find in the plumbing industry. A++ For sure using them in the future. Thanks Guys!

Joseph Young

Mike England was our plumbing tech from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. He listened to our concerns about our plumbing situation and offered several solutions with estimates for each one. He was knowledgeable, on time and made sure we understood what was being done and how long it would take. We would definitely use Benjamin Franklin Plumbing again. Note: We had a water pressure regulator replaced and a smart water shut off valve installed.

We had a great experience with Christian from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. With the way our house was built, the usual spot for a filtration system wasn’t an ideal option, but Christian came up with a solution that worked perfectly. He was very friendly, transparent, and made the whole process easy. We’ve used Benjamin Franklin for a whole-home water filtration system at our previous home and have always been happy with their service. They’re consistently reliable and professional!

Danae Kozelsky

I called the office at 7:30am with no hot water. They answered and Mickey came to assess my heater by 10am. It was 27 years old Hot water heater from 1998 😳 It was time. He was very professional and helpful. He gave me the quote, I paid 50% and then Scott and Dave came later and installed it in the afternoon. They worked hard since it was an attic unit. The new unit got a dent but should not effect it’s functions. I was glad Benjamin Franklin plumbing were prompt and professional.

Sandra Rivera, Realtor, MRP

In preparation for a home listing, we needed plumbing work done and received four different quotes. We decided on Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and I’m so glad we did. They came in at a competitive rate and were able to start the project right away. There were quite a few items on our list, including replacing the water heater and several faucets. Eddie Marquez was absolutely amazing—he not only addressed everything on our list but also went above and beyond by checking the rest of the home’s plumbing to ensure everything was in good working order. Since this was a 1910 home, some of the faucets were special orders, and he took the extra time to make sure those were handled correctly. His communication throughout the process was excellent, keeping me updated every step of the way. He was professional, reliable, and worked with true integrity. I would highly recommend Eddy Gerardo at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and have already added him to my trusted resource list. If you’re looking for a plumber who is thorough, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the quality of their work, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is the way to go. Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
