He was very prompt, professional, and I was very impressed with his explanation of what the issue was with the leaky toilet and the solution. I am very happy with the new ADA approved toilet. Dennis & Nick worked very quickly to remove old toilet which had been the original toilet in the condo and install new toilet. Thank you very much.

Benjamin Franklin was responsive and was able to schedule a same day service call. Automated texts to advise who would arrive was helpful and appreciated, the individual pumber reviews built trust before they arrived. Andrew did a thorough job checking what we thought may be water damage, he asked questions and gave detailed answers to my questions. Additionally, he gave a candid answer about doing our own cartridge replacement for our shower so we could make the choice. Overall excellent service, would not hesitate to call Benjamin Franklin for future plumbing needs.

I was considering adding a Point of Service small water heater at the kitchen sink to reduce the wait time for hot water. I was able to get an appointment the same day and Doug showed up within a couple of hours of my call. Doug provided professional advice and opinions on my options and provided a total cost of fixture plus install at the end of the appointment. The cost is greater than I was hoping for, so Im taking some time to consider whether or not to proceed.

They were able to come the same day I called. Hunter was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. He gave me three options for purchasing/installing a new water heater. He also checked over our sump pump & water softener to make sure they were performing efficiently. They cleaned up their mess & were here less than 2 hours. Thank you Hunter & Benjamin Franklin Plumbing! We will use you again in the future!

Cody is a very personable young man and clearly knows plumbing. My drain was acting very strange and started draining on its own, but still has an issue of clogging then draining. Cody suggested a Jetter and we are considering it. He did everything he could to replicate what was going on and it never flooded like it did when I had to call you. He was great and I would use you again!

I am very pleased with Andrew and his partner. He came the first time and determined that the pumps for our steam shower needed to be replaced. He reached out to the company and told us the parts to order. Second time around, he came with a partner to do the installation. They were both great to work with and stayed after hours to get the job done. Need to get an electrician to double check but overall, I highly recommend! We have been customers of BF for a long time and have always been happy with their service.

Andrew came to fix my leaking outdoor faucet repair from yesterday. He was prompt and it took him less time to fix the leak that it probably took him to drive here!! He was very friendly & professional. He knew the exact issue before he even got here. Thank you for getting him over here so fast.

Benjamin Franklin is always on time (if not early) and I very much appreciate that. This trip, Dennis Reid was my service tech. He did a great job (and Im not easy to please). The call originated with flushing the water heater and repairing a leaking toilet. Dennis listened to my other concerns and offered helpful solutions. We discussed future plumbing projects - I hope Dennis is the plumber assigned when we are ready to move forward.

Richard Moomey and an apprentice worked at my house for a couple hours yesterday, replacing kitchen sink hardware and repairing the internal connection as well as external hardware on the garden hose connection. He also looked at other problems with us and gave us options and answered questions about future work we need. Hes a keeper and his apprentice was quiet and helpful as he worked too.

Review №27

I called this company specifically inquiring about having a city water base pump installed for our sump pump. I was told by the dispatcher that BF did, in fact, install them. She asked if I would be purchasing a pump from them or if we would provide our own. We had already purchased one on our own so we just needed the installation, which was approved to be done by the dispatcher. The technician arrived at our home, looked at the pump, and stated they do not install these pumps. He called the owner who confirmed they do not install these pumps due to liability issues. He stated that the dispatcher would not have known that, as they are not plumbers. He then went on to try and sell us a different system that they had available, however, we were not interested, as we just needed the base pump installed as planned. He then stated he needed to collect a $73 service fee for the house-call in which he provided no service. No hands were laid on the sump pump or any other equipment. We refused to pay the service fee due to not performing the services he was called here to do, even though the installation was verified ahead of time by the company. The technician said he would bill us and he left. We called the supervisor who had just left for the day. We will not be referring them to our family and friends.

Richard completed the annual water heater flush and the annual whole house inspection. He listened to my concerns and was responsive. He did a great job, corrected a couple things that the previous plumber screwed up, and provided a nice summary of the work completed. I would welcome Richard’s return for future plumbing issues because I trust him to do the job correctly. He was professional and conscientious, answered our questions, and friendly.

My pipes froze. Richard was amazing! It was sub zero temps, he worked under my mobile home for 5 hours, assessing, working with the management of the park, re-evaluating until he solved the problem.

Called at 5 PM in the evening and Glenn was at my home before noon the next day. He was very friendly and helpful. Talked me through the work I had called about and identified some additional issues with my hot water heater that was going to require a replacement very soon (water was over 20 years old) . Did the work quickly and didnt leave a mess when done. He also wore a mask the entire time, which I appreciated. I will call BenjaminFranklin first the next time I need plumbing work done.

Jarrell was professional and knowledgeable. He installed and removed the water heaters very efficiently. Was also up front with pricing and warranty information. I would recommend to anyone needing plumbing services! Jarrell also installed a outside spigot and a new toilet in our house. He did an excellent job. He answered my questions and gave great advice on how to maintain and save money on the equipment. Another fine job Jarrell! I wouldnt hesitate to hire you and your company in the future!

Review №71

Keep in mind their prices are about three times the going rate of any other license plumber in the community. Not all of their technicians are also licensed plumbers they just have to have a license plumber with in so many miles of their technician working so he can come check the work if needed. Joke of a company but of course their prices are going to be higher when their slogan is we give you $100 if we’re late.. that $100 doesn’t come from them it comes out of your high bid of a job they did

I got a text with a link to a picture prior to arrival -- so I would know who was at my door. Cody came to advise on protecting against back flow from a floor drain in my kitchen under my furnace. It is in a spot that isnt easy to get to to work on and had a good bit of corrosion. He provided me with options and a more than reasonable quote. I appreciated his knowledge level and candid advice. He did the job immediately. Adapted when problems arose leaving and returning with another part. Thank you Cody!

Doug Miller was really helpful in giving out many different ideas to bring the gas pipeline from far corner of our mechanical room to the other end house where kitchen is. The quote which I got from other Plumbing companies for far too high. It was very affordable quote he offered.Cody was here for the installation. He followed our instructions regarding covid -19 safety precautions and so always wore masks inside the house. He was very professional and done the work with ease. It was a neat work and he cleaned up all the mess once the work was done.I would highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for gas pipe installation.Thanks Doug and Cody.

Review №99

We had discovered water all over the floor of the laundry room. We’ve had the pros at Ben Franklin before, so we knew who to call! After a short investigation, Jerrell and his partner diagnosed our situation as a clog in the main water line. They explained the problem clearly to us, and were so pleasant, polite, & friendly. They worked efficiently at unclogging it, and soon it was clear. We are very happy with Jerrell and the good service from Ben Franklin Plumbing! They’re our go-to plumbing pros!Then they returned when new water was seen on floor. But tried the washer on rinse cycle twice & no water leaked! Thanks, guys!3-2-21 Jarrell and his work partner came again today, after I was suspicious of some odd things on the basement floor. They tested the floor drain in the laundry room by turning on every faucet in the house, and the washer. Their testing proved that the drain was open and nothing in the main line was clogged. It was great to know! They also went back in the attached store room, and discovered some suspicious looking signs of possible ground water. So we will watch that and see if anything else shows up in that area. They spent their time testing and explaining in clear terms what was or wasn’t happening. Thanks to Jarrell and partner for coming back to our house again, and giving us the peace of mind that I so needed! Thanks, guys! Another great experience with Benjamin Franklin plumbing! 👍👍
