  • Drainage is slower while you use showers, tubs, or sinks

  • Drain flies

Call our team before it gets worse, and we’ll get your water flowing again. You can count on our drain cleaning service to make your plumbing system reliable and efficient. Say goodbye to slow-flushing toilets, gurgling drains, and water pooling around your feet while you shower!

Leak Detection

For homes in Lafayette with aging plumbing systems, leaks are common. The most damaging leaks are the ones you can’t see, since they can do a lot of damage to your home before you discover them. That’s why you should call our leak detection team at the first sign of problems.

Call for pipe leak detection service if you notice:

  • Rising water bills
  • Wet spots
  • Water stains
  • Trickling sounds
  • Mildew growth

Those are some of the top symptoms of an issue that calls for leak detection by the pros.

Laura Libner

Excellent experience with Cody today. He had to come back a second time to help us with installing fixtures I purchased the day before when we discovered a water leak under the sink. At any rate, he showed up the next day and helped us.. it cost double, however, because he had to come back.. I wish my husband would have just let him install the fixtures instead of trying to do it himself.. but you can’t blame a guy for trying!🙃

Angel Wang

We recently had our entire house repiped, new water heater installed, and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. Our plumber was extremely friendly and knowledgeable—he took the time to explain everything clearly, gave us options and suggestions. That kind of honesty and transparency is rare and truly appreciated. The owner was incredibly helpful with scheduling, and the cost was very reasonable compared to other companies we considered. Throughout the whole project, Claire has maintained communicative on progress. They also guarantee their work, which adds great peace of mind. Highly recommend this business to anyone looking for reliable and honest plumbing service! I know they will be my future go to

leeann nelson

Byron did a wonderful job fixing my drain. And did a wonderful job cleaning up. Very informative about all the things the membership included too. Thank you! Will definitely recommend you to anyone else who may need help.

Cookie Johnson

No pressure to buy - just an easily understood explanation of the situation and our options. We had a timely installation of a gas water heater. We are in our 80s yet we were treated with patience and respect. If we ever need plumbing help again we will certainly ask for Adam!

Patty D

Tyler was our service person. He showed up early and was able to quickly provide a price quote. We had a Rheem water heater under warranty so he disconnected and we met at Home Depot and returned the old one and purchased the new. He returned and promptly installed the new one and made sure everything worked properly. The price was $300 less than the one quoted from the Home Depot installer. I would definitely recommend Ben Franklin as well as Tyler.

Jitinder Chhokar

Adam came out twice to investigate two separate leaks, and he did an excellent job both times. He was thorough in his inspection and provided great advice on who to contact for further assistance. He even went the extra mile by calling the company ahead of time to inform them about our water issues. Adam is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly. We’ve used Benjamin Plumbing in the past and have always had a positive experience. We will definitely continue using them for any future plumbing needs.

Dan Martin

Avery is absolutely the best most friendly technician I have ever had.A tremendous representation of Ben Franklin Plumbing.

Tamara Jones

Tobias not only explained his inspection of our three air conditioners and the results, he was just a great guy. Professional, knowledgeable and experienced. My husband and I were very impressed and felt assured that we made the right choice!

Morgan Lewis

Had a great experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Bellevue. They showed up on time (which is rare these days), were super friendly, and didn’t try to upsell me on stuff I didn’t need. The plumber explained everything in a way that actually made sense, and the work was done quickly and cleanly. Honestly, just a solid, trustworthy company. I’d definitely call them again.

Christopher Gray
