David and Domingo are fantastic! I had a sewer smell in my house, but not in a room with water. They investigated and found the culprit: an old rusting pipe that ran under the room. They proposed different solutions and we went with the least invasive. The pipe is gone, the smell is gone, and they are even helping me find someone to fix the whole they had to cut to reach it. I really appreciate these guys!

Ben Franklin plumbing completed another job for us this time installing the Pureway filtration system. This system even filters out microplastics and helps with our calcium buildup as well. As always they were on time, knowledgable and professional and did a great job installing the system. I couldn't be happier with their work. Ben Franklin plumbing is locally owned and stand by their work.
