Manvel is a fast-growing city in Brazoria County, just southwest of Pearland on the inland side of the Houston metro. It’s a community where longtime rural acreage and ranch land are giving way to booming master-planned communities like Meridiana, Pomona, and Sedona Lakes. Its explosive growth is a natural fit for Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of League City.
We carry one of the most trusted names in American plumbing, a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024. Area homeowners rate us 5 stars. We're the punctual plumbers: if we're not on time, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300, and we guarantee our work for two years.
Every Manvel home has access to our full range of plumbing services, and each service links to the brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Manvel homeowners facing burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and slab leaks. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays.
We offer slab leak detection and repair and whole-home leak detection. Nearly every home here sits on a concrete slab over expansive Beaumont “gumbo” clay, among the most reactive in the country. It swells and shrinks with our wet/dry cycles and stresses the pipes beneath the slab. We pinpoint hidden leaks with acoustic and pressure testing and repair them before they undermine your foundation.
Water softeners, filtration, and treatment for the hard Gulf-coast water that scales fixtures and pipes and shortens water heater life, from softeners to whole-home filtration. A water test shows exactly what your home needs.
We offer sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless sewers. Many older homes have cast-iron drain lines under the slab that corrode, crack, and form low “bellies.” We camera-inspect, hydro-jet, and repair or replace them, often without digging up the whole slab.
We do water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems. Many area homes have water heaters in the attic, where an old tank failing can flood the ceiling below, so timely replacement and tankless upgrades are popular. Ask about our current water heater offer.
We also offer pipe repair and whole-home repiping. Decades of clay movement and hard-water corrosion pinhole aging copper, so we repipe in durable PEX. Plus, we do water service line and leaking pipe repair, including burst and frozen-pipe repair after a hard Gulf-coast freeze.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and roots, and diagnosing the sewer “bellies” that clay movement creates under Gulf-coast slabs.
Backwater and drain protection and backflow devices. For the heavy Gulf-coast rains the Houston area knows well, we help keep storm water and sewer surcharge from backing up into your Manvel home.
We can help with gas line installation and repair. We install, repair, and safely cap gas lines for water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, generators, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens, tested by licensed professionals.
We also do leak detection (including pool leak detection and pool pumps), plus faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, garbage disposals, boilers where present, and outdoor plumbing.
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, offices, restaurants, marinas, and businesses across the Bay Area and southeast Houston.
Manvel's growth and reactive soil shape its plumbing. Its booming new-construction communities bring installation, remodel, and tankless work, but they're built on concrete slabs over expansive Gulf-coast clay. Slab movement and slab leaks can appear even in newer homes, and foundation watering matters. Hard water scales fixtures and shortens water heater life, so softening and treatment are in strong demand. Rural properties on the edges of town may still be on private wells and septic, adding well and treatment service. Older and rural homes may have aging pipe worth repiping.
Manvel homes are built on concrete slabs over expansive Brazoria County clay. In the Houston area, this construction is standard, and basements are uncommon. As a result, slab-leak detection, foundation watering, and under-slab work matter even on newer homes. Summers are long, hot, and humid. Winters are mild but bring occasional hard freezes (like February 2021) that burst exposed pipes, and heavy Gulf rains make backwater protection worthwhile.
Manvel's new and rural homes get our full range. We offer slab leak detection and repair, hard-water treatment, well and water pump service on the rural edges, PEX repiping, water heater and tankless service, cast-iron and modern sewer work with trenchless, drain cleaning, gas lines, and new-construction and remodel plumbing. Our 5-star team finishes most jobs in one visit, with upfront pricing.
We're the punctual plumbers. If we're not on time, we pay you $5 for every minute we're late, up to 60 minutes or $300, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. See our guarantees.
We guarantee our parts, labor, and craftsmanship for two years after the service date. Bay Area homeowners rate us 5 stars, praising plumbers like Iris and Jorge who arrive on time, explain the work, protect the home, and get it done right.

Our technicians explain the problem and give upfront pricing before any work begins. No hidden fees, and repairs are done right the first time or we make it right at no cost to you.
From slab leaks and cast-iron sewer lines under expansive clay to hard water, attic water heaters, and storm-season protection, we know the plumbing challenges unique to Manvel.
Fully licensed (Texas RMP license #39763) and insured, with plumbers answering the phone around the clock, vital when a slab leak, sewer backup, or burst pipe strikes.
Manvel plumbing follows the Gulf-coast calendar. Even on a newer home, water the foundation evenly in dry spells and watch for slab-leak signs. Have hard water (or well water) treated. Before a hard freeze, wrap exposed pipes and protect outbuildings. Flush the water heater against scale.

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!
