Downey, CA has a rich history. It played a role in the Apollo space program and is home to the Columbia Memorial Space Center. But down here on the ground, it’s usually clogged drains - not rocket science - that bring daily life to a halt. One minute you’re rinsing dishes or taking a shower, and the next? Water’s pooling, nothing’s draining, and your whole routine hits pause.
That’s where Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach comes in. We’ve been clearing clogs and saving sinks all over Downey, from quiet neighborhoods near the Downey Theatre to the busy streets around Stonewood Center. Whether it’s a slow-draining tub or a full-on backup, we’ve got the tools, experience, and people to get things moving again, so you can get back to your day without the drama.
In a city where neighbors still wave hello and folks take pride in their homes, service matters. Downey residents don’t just want any plumber; they want someone who shows up, knows what they’re doing, and doesn’t leave a mess (or a mystery invoice). That’s us.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we’ve built our reputation on honesty, craftsmanship, and good old-fashioned respect. No drama. No hidden fees. Just reliable drain and plumbing solutions from a team that genuinely cares.
Here’s what sets us apart:
In short? We show up, do the job right, and leave you with clear drains and peace of mind.
Clogged drains are sneaky, as they usually start small. Maybe your sink drains a little slower than usual, or your shower leaves a puddle behind. Before you know it, the gurgling starts, the smell kicks in, and suddenly you’re Googling “how to unclog a drain” at midnight.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to deal with it alone.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we’ve seen and cleared it all. From hair-packed bathroom sinks to grease-loaded kitchen pipes and tree roots that invade your sewer line like they own the place, we’ve got the tools and skills to make it right.
Our drain clog solutions include:
We’ll always start with a full inspection so we know exactly what we’re dealing with. Then we’ll explain your options clearly; no upsells, no pressure. Just honest help and clean drains.
While we’re proud to be the go-to crew for clearing stubborn drains, plumbing is what we do - all of it. If it moves water in or out of your home (or should be and isn’t), we’ve got it covered.
So if your plumbing issues go beyond the bathroom sink, no worries, as we handle those too. Our full list of services for Downey, CA homeowners and businesses includes:
Even if you’re not sure what’s wrong yet, give us a call. We’ll help you figure it out and point you in the right direction.
Some clogs can wait a day or two. Others can’t.
When your kitchen sink is overflowing or your only toilet won’t flush, that’s not just an inconvenience; it’s a full-blown plumbing emergency. And in those moments, you need a team that can respond quickly, work efficiently, and fix the problem without making things worse.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, we treat urgent drain issues with the urgency they deserve. We’re often able to get to Downey homes and businesses same-day, depending on scheduling, and we always come prepared to clear things up on the first visit.

We had technician Cristian Giurgila come out to our house and fix a water leak and he was absolutely fantastic. Great customer service and he was able to complete the repairs same day. He was amazing. Next time we need them we will request Cristian.
Hands-down, the best company ever . Randall& Marquise they did a thorough job. Making sure everything was fixed the right way and also made sure my water was working before they left. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs.
I had a great experience with Lonnie! He arrived on time, was very pleasant to work with, and did an excellent job fixing the issue. Highly professional and reliable—I’ll definitely call again if I need plumbing help!
The young man that came in and inspected my hot water heater was Ilija Kostadinov. He was so polite and very thorough. He made me feel very comfortable with the options that I chose for a new hot water heater. He was very informative, I would recommend this company and Ilija To anyone that I know it has a plumbing problem. Thank you for being so honest and amazing.
Bryan did a beautifull Job uninstalling my old water conditioner and replacing it with the new one. He introduced himself when he got here to my home, and was so nice. He explained to me everything he was going to do and let me know he had to turn the water off for a couple of hrs before he completed the job. I was very pleased with the Job he did. It was neatly done and very professional.
Caleb helped us out with some issues we were having. He did an amazing job! Got everything done with attention to detail and in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend asking for Caleb!
We always have super kind technicians at Ben Franklin but today we had a guy come out who went above and beyond! His name was Nery. He provided us with exceptional service. Nery was so polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. I had many questions about getting our pipes replaced and he explained everything thoroughly to my husband and I. We have talked to a couple other plumbing companies about the problems we are facing in regards to our plumbing (old house) and never felt like we were getting the answers we needed to follow through with their services. It was a no brainer after Nery explained everything to us. He was so kind and a great asset to your team!
I had a rough start with them-my attic flooded a year after installation because the system wasn't up to spec. But they owned up to it, revamped their team, and sent folks out to fix everything in one day flat. Added overflow pans with water switches for all my units. Super thorough, no shortcuts. Now I can remodel my bathroom without sweating a repeat flood. If you had issues before, their changes are real-worth giving them another shot. Great company, solid warranties, and Joel especially? Total pro.
Andrew was a pleasure to work with. When I called for service, he was on it right away. Needing to escalate the matter, he then contacted his restoration guys who also came right over. I couldn’t be happier with the job they did and will definitely call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Should I need their services again.Thank you, Andrew!
