Montgomery is Alabama's capital and the heart of the River Region. It’s a historic city on the Alabama River, from its stately downtown and historic districts like Cloverdale and Old Cloverdale to sprawling east-side suburbs and everything between. As our home base, Montgomery is where Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® has served neighbors since 1986, and we're the on-time team the city counts on.
We carry one of the most trusted names in American plumbing, a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024. We've been a locally owned, Montgomery-based company for over 30 years. We're The Punctual Plumber, and we back it with a promise no ordinary plumber makes: if we're not on time, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300.
Every Montgomery home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire River Region service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Montgomery 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, with no after-hours fees.
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, backed by professional inspection and diagnosis. Our plumbers are trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
Slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection, leak repair, and pool leak detection, vital where central Alabama's expansive 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 the hard water and, on private wells, the iron, sulfur, and sediment common in the River Region, cutting scale and improving taste and appliance life.
Well pump and water pump service and pressure-tank work for the many rural Autauga, Elmore, and Montgomery County homes on private wells.
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.
Outdoor plumbing, pool pump service, and faucet, toilet, shower, bathtub, and garbage disposal repair and installation.
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, offices, restaurants, and businesses across Montgomery, Prattville, and the River Region.
Montgomery's range of homes shapes its plumbing. The historic districts hold beautiful older homes, some a century old, that often carry aging galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era pipe worth repiping. The mid-century and later suburbs include many homes with 1980s–90s polybutylene worth replacing before it fails. The city is served by Montgomery Water Works, which blends Tallapoosa River surface water with groundwater from area well fields. The water tends to be hard, so softeners and treatment are popular upgrades.
Montgomery's homes sit on slab or crawlspace foundations, and the city's location at the edge of the Black Belt means clay-rich, expansive soils. These soils shift with the wet-and-dry seasons, shifting slabs and stressing the water and sewer lines beneath them, making slab leak detection and repair a defining local service. Long, hot summers push water heaters hard, mature trees in the older neighborhoods send roots into aging sewer laterals, and the occasional hard freeze can still threaten unprotected pipes.
As the hometown team based right here in Montgomery since 1986, we know the city's historic homes, its hard river-and-well water, and its Black Belt clay. We offer slab leak detection and repair, repiping and lead-era line replacement, softeners and treatment, water heater service, sewer-root and trenchless work, and commercial plumbing. Our fully stocked trucks resolve most calls on the first visit.
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.

Montgomery plumbing follows the central Alabama calendar. Flush the water heater yearly for the hard water. Watch for the slab-leak signs the Black Belt clay makes common (warm spots, high bills, low pressure). Have older sewer lines in the historic districts checked for roots. Before a hard freeze, insulate exposed pipes and disconnect hoses.

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.
Montgomery sits at the edge of the Black Belt, whose expansive clay soils shift with moisture, moving slab foundations and stressing the pipes beneath them. That's a leading cause of slab leaks. We detect and repair them with minimal disruption.
Older homes in Cloverdale and the Garden District often have corroding galvanized, cast-iron, or lead-era pipe, and many later homes have failure-prone polybutylene. Repiping restores pressure and prevents leaks. We inspect and recommend honestly, with care for a historic home.
Montgomery Water Works blends Tallapoosa River water with groundwater, and the result tends to be hard. A softener protects your water heater, fixtures, and appliances. We test and advise.
Yes. The capital's offices, shops, restaurants, and institutions rely on commercial plumbing, and we provide it with 24/7 emergency response.
Yes. Our emergency plumbers answer around the clock, every day, backed by the On-Time Guarantee, from our home base right here in the city.
