Alexander City, “Alex City” to locals, is the largest city in Tallapoosa County and the gateway to Lake Martin. It’s a historic textile town on the lake's north shore now known for its 750 miles of wooded shoreline, waterfront homes, and lake recreation. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Auburn is the on-time team Alex City families count on.
We carry one of the most trusted names in American plumbing, a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024, but the people answering your call are your neighbors. We are part of a locally owned company serving East Alabama since 2000, led by a family with five generations of plumbing experience. We're The Punctual Plumber: “if there's any delay, it's you we pay.”™
Every Alexander City home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire east Alabama service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Alexander City homeowners facing burst or leaking pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays.
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, backed by professional inspection and diagnosis, with our trucks carrying thousands of parts to fix most issues in a single visit.
We offer slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection, leak repair, and pool leak detection. These services are vital where East Alabama's red clay soils shift beneath slab foundations and stress the pipes below.
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and cast-iron systems and the failure-prone polybutylene common in 1980s–90s homes, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair.
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, a popular upgrade for endless hot water and energy savings in the Alabama heat.
Water softeners and filtration for hard water and, on the many private wells of the region, the iron, sulfur, sediment, and acidic (low-pH) water that corrodes pipe, improving taste, scale, and appliance life.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, buildup, and the tree roots that reach into lines beneath the region's mature canopy.
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options for root intrusion and the aging clay and cast-iron laterals stressed by shifting clay soils, often with minimal digging.
Boiler service and water pump and sump pump work for the homes and systems that need them across the region.
Outdoor plumbing, pool pump service, and faucet, toilet, shower, bathtub, and garbage disposal repair and installation.
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, offices, restaurants, campuses, and lake-resort businesses across Auburn, Opelika, and East Alabama.
Alexander City's plumbing revolves around Lake Martin and its history. A large share of homes are waterfront properties and second homes that benefit from seasonal winterizing, including protecting pipes, outdoor lines, and water heaters against the occasional freeze, and reliable outdoor and dock-area plumbing. The city draws its municipal water from the Lake Martin/Tallapoosa system, while outlying homes are on private wells that need treatment for hardness, iron, sulfur, or acidic water. As a historic textile town, Alex City also has older homes with aging galvanized, cast-iron, or 1980s–90s polybutylene pipe worth repiping.
Alexander City's homes sit on slab and crawlspace foundations in the Piedmont's red-clay hills, not basements. That clay shifts with the wet-and-dry seasons, stressing the water and sewer lines beneath a slab, so slab leak detection and repair matter here. Long, hot summers push water heaters hard, mature trees send roots into aging sewer laterals, and the occasional hard freeze can burst unprotected pipes, especially at lake homes left empty.
Alexander City's lake homes and historic neighborhoods get our full range: Lake Martin waterfront service and winterizing, slab leak detection, water treatment for wells, repiping, water heaters, and sewer and drain work. Our fully stocked trucks fix most issues in one visit, and we've served East Alabama since 2000.
“if there's any delay, it's you we pay”™. If we're not on time, we pay you $5 for every minute we're late, up to 60 minutes or $300. See our guarantees.

Alexander City plumbing follows the lake calendar. Winterize lake and second homes in fall, including protecting pipes, outdoor lines, and water heaters, and reopen them in spring. Flush the water heater yearly. Watch for slab-leak signs as the clay shifts. If you're on a well, keep the pump and treatment maintained.

Linda Burns
I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!
Brian Ridenour
Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!
Dennis Sen
10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!
Refind Vintage
We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.
Suzyn Purdy
Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.
Larry Murphy
Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.
Jeremiah Fisher
A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!
Tammy Spencer
Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!
Paula Thompson
The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.
Yes. Lake and waterfront homes are a specialty. We handle winterizing, outdoor and dock-area lines, and everyday repairs, and reopen seasonal homes in spring.
Warm spots on the floor, unexplained high water bills, low pressure, or the sound of running water with everything off. The Piedmont's shifting red clay makes slab leaks a real risk. We detect and repair them.
The city draws Lake Martin/Tallapoosa water, while outlying homes are on private wells. We service both, including softeners and iron, sulfur, and acid treatment for wells.
If it has corroding galvanized or cast-iron pipe or 1980s–90s polybutylene, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect and recommend honestly.
Yes. Our emergency plumbers answer around the clock, backed by the On-Time Guarantee.
