I had a leak in my sink at 4:00 pm. Ben Franklin plumbing had someone there by 4:00. Tim quickly fixed the leak and corrected some errors my dishwasher installer made. Couldn't be happier.

Donavan was on time, and was able to diagnosis the issue and fix the disposal. He also answered additional questions I had. Is the work warrantied? If the disposal fails again will BF cover part or all of any future repairs?

Our service technician Jonathan Willis was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Our sink was backing up and water was flooding our laundry room every time we ran the washing machine. He figured out the issue very quickly and was able to repair our drain pipes efficiently and with very little mess. Jonathan…

I have used Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for both my home and office and they’ve always done a great job. Whether it was clearing a tough clog in our house or installing a heavy-duty faucet for my office’s laboratory sink, they have always been courteous, thorough and professional.
