Bridgeville is one of western Sussex County's oldest towns, an agricultural community known for the Apple Scrapple Festival and, more recently, for the growth of the Heritage Shores active-adult community. That blend of farm country and new retirement living gives Bridgeville real plumbing variety, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Dover serves all of it.
On time, every time, if there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Bridgeville home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire central and southern Delaware service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Bridgeville homeowners facing burst or frozen pipes, well-pump failures, sewer or septic backups, or no-water situations, day or night, weekends and holidays, with no after-hours fees.
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, with our plumbers trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection to clear recurring clogs and find the real cause.
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, popular for vacation homes and new construction.
Well pump repair and replacement and pressure-tank service for the many Kent and Sussex County homes that rely on private wells.
Water softeners, filtration, and treatment, acid neutralizers, iron filters, and softeners for the acidic, iron-heavy, or hard groundwater common across the Delaware coastal plain.
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options, plus drain and waste-line work tailored to the area's many septic-connected homes.
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging and corroded systems, plus frozen-pipe repair through Delaware's cold snaps.
Water service line repair and replacement, locate and replace aging and lead service lines, a focus of current federal lead-pipe rules.
Non-destructive leak detection and slab and hidden leak repair that pinpoint hidden, slab, and buried-line leaks before we cut into anything.
Sump pump installation and repair, including battery backups, to keep basements and crawlspaces dry where the water table runs high near the coast and inland bays.
Outdoor plumbing service for hose bibs, irrigation, and the outdoor showers that are a beach-home staple, plus seasonal winterizing and spring turn-ons for vacation properties.
Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
Commercial plumbing service for area businesses, restaurants, retail, and multi-family and hospitality properties.
Bridgeville sits in the heart of Sussex farm country, where many homes rely on private wells and septic systems. That makes well-pump and pressure-tank service, plus treatment for the acidic, iron-heavy groundwater common across the coastal plain, a core local need, untreated, that water can stain fixtures and corrode pipes. We test each home's water and tailor a softener, iron filter, or acid neutralizer to it.
The town also has older homes around its historic core that may carry aging galvanized pipe worth repiping, alongside the newer construction of communities like Heritage Shores, where modern systems and water heaters need ongoing service. Delaware's cold snaps bring frozen-pipe risk to exposed rural runs, and we handle everything from a farmhouse well to a new retirement-community build.
Bridgeville's mix of farms, historic homes, and a growing retirement community fits our full-service approach, well and treatment service for rural homes, repiping for older ones, and water heaters and fixtures for the new builds. Our stocked trucks finish most jobs in one trip, which matters out in the countryside.
if there's any delay, it's you we pay, $5 for every minute we're late, up to $300. See our guarantees.

Club membership with annual safety inspections, leak checks, water heater, well, and treatment tune-ups, priority service, and discounts.
Country and new-construction homes alike reward routine. If you're on a well, test your water periodically and keep your treatment and pressure tank maintained; if you're on septic, mind what enters the system. Before winter, protect well houses and exposed runs, and flush your water heater yearly to clear sediment.

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!
