Suzi DuRosa

They were able to come out within an hour of me calling, my technician Shaun completed the task of disconnecting my gas dryer, and fixing my washer hook ups the same day at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be using their service in the future, and I recommend this business for anybody looking for a reliable plumbing service

Peter Muller

Carlos, the plumber from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, came early, which I appreciated. He was very pleasant to deal with, and completed several small projects very efficiently. I was pretty surprised at how high the price was that he quoted, but decided to proceed with the work anyway. I recognize that this was not the judgement call of the plumber, but came from the company. Still, I will hesitate before I call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for any big jobs.

Sylvia Harris

Service was excellent. Chad took the time to explain what needed to be done to repair the leaking pipe and also answered questions about the water system in my home. I will use again when needed and recommend.

Gavin Garrison

Nick was excellent and provided very helpful perspective regarding a lateral drain problem we’re experiencing. He took the time to understand our unique situation and offer solutions with tradeoffs for consideration. Nick also made the effort to help us schedule the next step in the process before departing. Nick is a credit to the Benjamin Franklin brand and why the customer reviews and ratings we saw are so positive. Thank you!

Brandi Monroe

Grayson was great! He answered all of my questions (I had many!) with a smile, made suggestions and repeated himself several times while I made notes in my phone so that I wouldn’t forget. He was thorough, courteous, professional and an all around nice gentleman! I welcome Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to send him back every year for my annual inspection!!

Plumbing FAQs

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

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Wilmington, 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 Wilmington plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Wilmington 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 Wilmington to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Wilmington?

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 Wilmington property?

For most homes in Wilmington, 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.For most homes in Wilmington, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Wilmington?

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 Wilmington home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Wilmington 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 Wilmington homes?

Older homes in Wilmington 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 Wilmington?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Wilmington, 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 Wilmington?

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