Kay Oren

I had a fantastic experience with the lead plumber Brandon White. I called Benjamin Franklin to get a second opinion on a quote from another company, and he went above and beyond. He sent Benjamin & he came over the same day, he reassured me that the work recommended by the competitor was indeed necessary, reasonably priced, and completely aligned with the standard of work his team would provide. I was impressed with his honesty, he also explained why the work was necessary in terms that were easy to understand. His professionalism, and integrity gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend Brandon White the lead plumber at Benjamin Franklin for anyone looking for a trustworthy professional!

Alan Montgomery

Did a great job for a fair price. Arrived on time. Did excellent, professional work, cleaned up afterwards and was courteous through the entire time. Met ALL my expectations.

Lee Wood

Scheduling service was easy and the discussion of the work I needed performed occurred at my house and options were discussed. Once we decided on the items to be replaced and the work to be performed, I received the cost estimate and we scheduled a date for the work. Davy showed up on-time to perform the work and was very thorough in getting the job finished. The work was accomplished in the time allotted and Davy provided a detailed review of the work. Highly recommend contacting Erin and his team at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to get top quality, reliable work at a fair price!

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Grand Rapids water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Grand Rapids, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Grand Rapids plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Grand Rapids home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Grand Rapids to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Grand Rapids?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Grand Rapids property?

For most homes in Grand Rapids, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Grand Rapids?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Grand Rapids home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Grand Rapids home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Grand Rapids homes?

Older homes in Grand Rapids often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Grand Rapids?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Grand Rapids, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Grand Rapids?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
