We had a tankless water heater put in a few years ago from Benjamin Franklin plumbing. They not only tore up my water heater closet and refused to put the tankless unit in the closet but only in the attic but once we called to let them know that it was not working properly and of the damage they left behind they refused to service us on their equipment. We continue to have trouble with the water heater and are constantly left without hot water. Other plumbing services will not service it because of the location and because of it being another plumbing company installation. I would not recommend spending thousands of dollars with this company and their very poor customer service! The picture shows how they left the ceiling in our water heater closet.

Jose was great. He came completely prepared. I had a very complicated problem with the drain line for one of my toilets. It had been blocked several times, and we have had several service calls to unblock the line. Jose found a blockage vis camera. It took him several tries but he finally cleared the blockage. It was a ratchet wrench with a socket attached, stuck at the first elbow. He finished installing the toilet and cleaned up the workspace. We are thankful for both the quality, and the price. Many thanks to Jose and his work!

Hunter did a spectacular job fixing our broken plumbing. He was on time and professional, and he communicated very effectively with us. He was very thorough and knew exactly how to fix the issue. I will definitely use this company again.

Clayton Gage went above and beyond! I’ve used him before and will not hesitate if future issues arise that their service provides. Prompt, hardworking, thinks outside the box in solving problems with my older home, informative, professional and easy to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone needing help.

My plumber was Jason! He did a good job in explaining, executing the plan, and finishing the job in a timely manner! He was very knowledgeable and helpful in a not so good situation and would recommend the company and him to others for their service! Thank you for sending him and will spread the word if others are in need of the service they offer

Jason Watson was awesome! Patient with all my questions, and very informative with examples on how to proceed. The best customer service ever, something that has fallen behind with a lot of companies. Appreciated his professionalism and great work. Will definitely use you all going forward, thanks to Jason. Thank you for getting everything set up for my emergency on a Sunday evening.

Zachary Odel was extremely efficient and very knowledgeable in fixing and correcting my ongoing leak issue. He was both business like and friendly, and I would highly recommend him in a second To anybody I know for plumbing issues Prior to Zachary‘s work field supervisor Chris Fontenot Came out first to examine the different options. He very politely listened to my explanation what was happening and what the repair might entail. However, checked one more situation and in doing so saved me a huge amount of money rather than just going with his first professional instinct. As was Zachary Chris was very professional and yet very approachable and very very knowledgeable of different scenarios for the problem. Both gentlemen, I would recommend highly give them both a review of six stars out of five for their knowledge and their workmanship Craig Herren Grand Prairie, Texas

Hunter was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. Gave me estimates on work I wanted and did a thorough inspection on my water heaters and drain lines. I hope he will be back to do the other work I want.
