When I first call, I received a professional greeting and assistance. The next business day Jason called to say he was on the way. Jason is friendly and professional. He explained the process of the service and began the work. He also took the time to share with my son how he got into the career path. He had to take the toilet up and eventually was able to dislodge an airpod case. See photos. I would definitely recommend Jason and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. ?

Overall satisfied but no clean up. I would have gladly provided a trash can for the pieces of paint, etc. left in the tub and shower. Had to vacuum carpet where drywall was cut. Repair done well but now have a screw that punctured through wall on other side to be added to patch job.

Tankless hot water heater installation. They did an awesome job and gave the best price. And unlike other plumbers in the area who tried to force me to use their provided equipment and mark up the price a whopping $3,000 more than I paid Ben Franklin, these guys gave me a good price and installed the tankless gas water heater I purchased from Lowe’s. I can’t thank them enough for the fair pricing and great service!

I scheduled an appointment 1 day prior and the appointment window was from 8:30 am- 6 pm. One the morning of the appointment, Joshua called before 8 am to let me know his ETA. He arrived on time and completed my job in a timely fashion. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is known as the “Punctual Plumber” and I totally agree!

Russ Baker replaced my hot water heater this weekend. He is incredibly friendly, great customer service, and easy to work with. My dog, Maggie, would have jumped in his truck and never looked back. Russ worked professionally and efficiently. He spent some time explaining what was replaced and my maintenance responsibilities. Russ is definitely an asset to the Ben Franklin team. If I have any future needs, I will definitely request Russ.
Travis was very friendly & professional. He assured me that I didn't have a major problem which was a relief! He instructed me on the correct way to eliminate clogged drains. I appreciate his advice & honesty! I will definitely call Benjamin Franklin Plummbing & Travis for future home repairs! 5 Star service-Highly recommended!

Dajzan was awesome! He was so friendly, quickly diagnosed the problem, and got it fixed in less than an hour and a half! I had another appointment scheduled with a different company, and it was going to be over a week before they could get here and I’m so glad I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. They worked me in same day!

I had Adam come out and help replace my toilet and fix my leaking poly valves. He was prompt on time and beyond professional and helpful with what he was doing and gave me information about all the steps he took to fix my problems. Would def recommend. Beyond satisfied with the job he did on my bathroom.
I had an unexpected need to replace my water heater come up after it ruptured late on a Friday night (tip: battery operated water alarm saved the day!). The next morning, Adam came out to provide an estimate, and then Russ came out to do the install about an hour later. Along with his colleagues Russ Jr. and Richard, they did a great job. They explained everything well, worked with care, and were a pleasure to talk with.Yes, the big plumbing chains are expensive, but I figure once in 15 years, it's money well spent. I got the work done quickly and most importantly, done right. I'm very pleased!
Dajzan H. did a fantastic job! I'm extremely please with how thoroughly he inspected our sewage pipes! His knowledge and professionalism kept me and my family at ease about a very messy situation. I will always recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumming, but especially Mr. Hunter!The timely responses and quick work is worth the money!

We had vibrating pipes and Josh determined the source by narrowing down possibilities. He kept me informed as he went along and solved the problem. He then installed the faulty part quickly and efficiently. Josh was friendly and very professional and when we have another problem in the future we will be calling him. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin plumbing.

Adam Wahl knows his craft! As a customer I appreciate his high-level of professionalism and customer service. After assessing the problem with my water heater he thoroughly explained the issue and presented several solutions. I truly appreciate him working with me, the customer and my schedule. He is phenomenal!
Great response time and customer service. Joshua was the ultimate professional and knowledgeable technician. Price for service was very acceptable. Will use again if we need plumbing services.
Jason resolved a slowly building issue at the house which quickly became evident. His professionalism, knowledge, patience, and sense of humor to got me through the situation … all while working from home, in the middle of graduation season, pending arrival of family, a barking dog, messy teenager, and every other bit of life that shows up. The other happy accident??? He’s a Philly-guy!!! He’s my kind of people and will only request Jason from now on … Go Birds!

Derek did a great job in cleaning up the leak, assessing the problem, and making the repairs. He kept me informed along the way of what he was doing and the cost. I’m very pleased with the price and especially with Derek and will request him specifically should I have a plumbing problem in the future.
Derek did everything he could to fix the situation. He was corect when he came in and told us it was a septic tank problem. We asked him to use the camera and the snake. Although it did not fix the problem he was up front about the cost. I was impressed with his honesty and knowledge.

Very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. He discussed different options and once I decided he worked fast and efficiently. Thanks!
Josh was excellent. He notified me when he was on his way and when he arrived. He was able to trouble shoot our problem and replaced the required parts. We are very happy with the work done.

Had plumbing work done at our home today, a new washer box installed and some new connections. Adam Wahl (estimator) and Brandon Linker (installer) were wonderful to work with. They were friendly, punctual, knowledgeable and professional. Brandon did a very thorough job and cleaned up after. I was very impressed with Adam and Brandon. Will be sure to call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in the future for other plumbing work/issues. Plumbing issues are never inexpensive to fix but it was worth it for a quality job and competent employees like Adam and Brandon.

My water heater was old old. Like over 20 years old and it is located in the attic. Turn around time was next day when scheduling my appt. Russ and team were there in the morning and done by lunchtime - super fast! I have hot water and it’s great! Installation was quick and they were ninjas at getting the tanks up and down the rickety attic stairs. My dogs enjoyed their visit and 10/10 recommend their service!

The plumber was nice, the price for labor was very expensive. I had them install a new shower/tub valve and hook up the new tub spout and shower head. I provided the valve and hardware and had the drywall cleared. Took him under 2 hours and the cost was just under $1,000. I wanted to have him install a new toilet but the new toilet flange was installed incorrectly. He quoted me an additional $1,500 to cut the pvc and install the flange correctly. Obviously, I didn’t do that. Can’t justify the minimum $500 an hour rate. Thats a salary of over $1,000,000 a year! Sign me up for that gig!Updated: had another plumber look at toilet flange the plumber said I would need to remove and replace because it was not installed correctly. The new toilet flange spins and is tightened by a rubber gasket. The flange was rotated in 10 seconds (not glued down like the benjamin franklin plumber said) unbelievable how this company wanted to SCAM an additional $1500.00. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Dazjan Hunter was exceptionally caring, professional, and thorough helping me with an at home emergency I had never experienced. Dazjan addressed the water leak in my kitchen and walked me through the hows and the whys for each repair. He went above and beyond to take care of my home and the plumbing/piping. Thanks!
I called this morning to get someone who could give me an estimate for our water heater PRV. Much thanks to Adam Wahl who came out armed with knowledge. He gave me a couple of great options to help with reducing water pressure throughout my home. Thanks again!

It took Anthony 5 minutes and I paid over $400.00 for only 1 valve, the quote for 4 valves was over $1,200 and $100.00 per water hose, we have to sinks and each valve and hose is for cold water and hot water per faucet. It’s a joke! I got the other 3 done for $150.00 and this included the hoses connected. By the way I don’t think I got the 20% off.

If you need an expert plumber, please do not hesitate to contact Jason from Philly. He took care of my long-standing issue in one day. He answered all of my questions and reassured me that my problem was fixable. The rough road to my story is almost a year long. So it would take too long to air it out. But HALLELUJAH! It's resolved. Thank you Jason. Will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs help. Benjamin Franklin, you hired a winner!

Kudos to Rodney and kudos to Ben Franklin for being a great company

They positioned my hot water heater in a position so that you can’t get to my furnace so that it can be serviced. This is not good because One hour heating and air service guy couldn’t properly service my system.I have paid this company a lot of money to do repairs for me and when they did this, it was my third time using them. Now I’m going to have to pay someone to correct this problem. At this point I’m just not sure about this company because seem like by them being the professionals. They should have know better.However on today, I’m happy to say that Benjamin Franklin plumbing corrected everything and did apologize for the inconvenience. They were prompt to come out and did everything that needed to be done free of charge. They repositioned the hot water tank away from the furnace and One hour heating and air was able to finish the maintenance check up. I was so pleased because they were friendly and down to earth and was happy to make everything right . I will continue to use them for my plumbing needs and because they were so willing to correct the problem. I’m giving them a five star rating and be telling everyone I know what they done for me today and all the technicians were great and were friendly and down to earth and easy to talk to . I had three different technicians that came out plus a supervisor that was a really nice guy.Thank you Benjamin Franklin plumbing & one hour heating and air??????

If I could give 0 stars I would! Save your money and go somewhere else.First of all there saying “if there’s any delay, it’s you we pay” is a joke. They don’t do appointments so they can never be delayed. Basically making false promises.We had used this company to fix our toilet and instead of fixing it they made it worse. Called them again to look at the issue they created and they blamed it on the flusher, not to mention the plumber was extremely rude because he had to come back a second time. He reluctantly replaced the flusher and in doing so over tightened it and created a stressing point. Well the toilet cracked and water went everywhere. So not only did I waste $300 on an issue they made worse, I now have to spend more money to get a new toilet and have it installed.This place is a joke and I wouldn’t recommend them to my worse enemy.
I was out of the country when my wife called to say the water heater was not working. I found from the serial number the heater was 17 years old. I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. They were able to change the heater and bring it up to code within a few hours on the same day. This included things it did not have to meet code; a stand, expansion tank, and a shutoff valve within 5 feet.

Dajzan was so wonderful! He quickly unclogged a toilet and went above and beyond to help us light the pilot light in our fireplace during a power outage. He is such a personable and kind guy - Benjamin Franklin plumbing is lucky to have him!
Benjamin Franklin is a top notch company. They are timely, professional, and very knowledgable. My job (water line replacement from the meter to the house) had numerous complications due to trees, multiple utility lines and a few underground items. Their technicians (Brandon and Lauren) were persistent and did not cut any corners. They committed to doing the job right and invested an extra day to make it happen. I know the quality of work would have been sacrificed if i went with any other rival. A job well done. Thank You guys!Brandon - You're one of the hardest workers I ever met.P.S. Thank you for your service in Iraq.

I called Ben Franklin Plumbing on a Sunday for a rental property I manage. They got there quickly. Adam Wahl called me and texted me several times all the way through the process. It was very upfront and explained everything very well. I have called Adam back to do a bigger job for me and I am keeping him in my contacts for other jobs.
All the water in my toilets and sink were coming back up! The toiles were bubbling! I called 4 other plumbers and they did not have the time to come out not even for an emergency! Then I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charlotte. The lady on the phone was so nice and assured me someone will be out sometime between 1:00 - 5:00pm. It was 12:30 thirty when I called them, they could not give me a specific time.So I waited, 20 minutes later I received a call from Marvin one of the plumbers. He said he will be there in 20 minutes. I was so shocked! And sure enough he was here. I explained everything that was happening and within 5 minutes he knew what the problem was. The clean out pipe coming out of my house that connects to the sewer was cracked.Marvin was so professional and knowledgeable, he explained everything to me. I never had a plumber be so specific and so willing to explain everything in such detail. I mean I don't know anything about how to fix this problem. He needed to dig down about 8 feet deep and 8 feet wide in my front yard in order to remove the broken pipe. This was on a Wednesday and he said the earliest I could fix this would be this Friday which was May 28th, 2021. Marvin cleaned out the roots the best he could so I could use the water in my house. He put a camera down the pipe and showed me the size of the root that was in the pipe. I could not believe it! I explained to Marvin that the clean out pipe that sticks out of the ground has always been slanted and it sticks to high out of the ground. He explained to me that the pipe was installed wrong and most likely the landscapers ran it over with there huge lawn mowers.That really upset me and I did not know that could happen! Like I said before Marvin explained everything to me. Even while he was 8 feet deep in the ground he was pointing out things that were wrong and he promised me he would fix it the right way. And he was showing me what the correct way was.Just look at these pictures!!!! Marvin is AWESOME! i told me that he will always be my plumber I will never go to another place again! He quoted me a fair price and I told him once I recover from paying for this to be fixed I will be calling Marvin back again to replace my water heater which is 17 years old!MARVIN THANK YOU FOR DOING SUCH A PROFESSIONAL JOB AND NEAT JOB!JimBenjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charlotte - BEST SERVICE - BEST TECHNICIAN (MARVIN) - BEST PRICES!!!!!!Jim

If you are a senior citizen please BEWARE...this company offers a senior citizen discount to reel you in but the price you will be quoted will be extremely high, poor quality, and not worth your money. My mother called Benjamin Franklin to locate a leak in our home because our water bill was higher than usual. Benjamin Franklin sent a technician to our home and the technician stated that he could not find a leak anywhere but it could be possibly be our toilets. He asked if she wanted a repair and she asked him to quote a price for the cost of the repair. He quoted the price of $457 to fix the toilet (a flapper; which he stated was the issue). My mother declined the service because she thought it was a little excessive.. He asked for the service fee and travel of $57 plus tax. My mother paid him. Less than 24 hours later we had FLOODING in our basement where the water heater is located. We immediately call BF to get another technician to look at the issue. The representative stated that we would have to PAY for another service call because this call was not related to the original service call. Side Note: During the technicians inspection, he did not secure the valve on top of the tank and water was everywhere. I had to call another plumber to come and fix the issue. I called again to speak to another representative about their policies and she stated that what the previous representative stated was not the case and that she would escalate the situation to her manager. The manager returned our call and stated that his technicians don't touch anything which doesn't make much sense if you are there to inspect for leaks how could you not touch anything? The customer is not right in this case. Also, we have never had any issues with the water heater. He offered to give us a refund of $61.47 and that was pretty much all he was good for. I lost way more money than $61.47 but hopefully this review will help others save their money.

After doing a repair of a leaking pipe in our floor, plumber told us to stay out of the bathroom for at least 36 hours and to call when we have floor replaced so they can finish the job. When we went back into the bathroom,we found water leaking where they didn't replace a defective gasket. Bathroom was completely flooded. They sent a restoration team out who put down a dryer. They picked it up four days later and said they would be in touch to get everything fixed and make their mistake right.. It has now been a month, and we can't get a call back and the only communication we have had is to say they wouldn't fix the floor (even though it was ruined due to the flooding) and to ask when we would be paying them. So much for making it right. We still don't have a bathroom and no indication it will be fixed any time soon. My husband has been trying to get in touch with the Regional Service Manager for over two weeks, but we can't even get a call back. I have never had worse customer service in my life! I am not looking forward to taking legal action, but I am afraid we might have to. . I wouldn't wish this nightmare on anyone.

I have been a customer for more than a decade. Most recently, I had some problems with my water heater and pipes under the house. The first plumber they sent did not resolve the problem, so I called to let them know I was unhappy with that service. The second plumber, Kim, was spectacular. He listened to my thoughts, thorougly investigated the problem, found and fixed the problem, and made sure the cost was completely fair. I felt my business, and my experience as a customer, mattered. I will certainly use this company again.

I had scheduled three other plumbers prior to this company, and none of them showed up or even called to let me know they weren’t coming. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing had someone here the day after I called. Jason called 30 minutes before his arrival. and showed up on time. Very friendly and polite. He did his work quickly and cleaned up behind himself. He explained everything he was doing, and went above and beyond in terms of his workmanship. Next time I need a plumber, I will ask for him by name. The service was a little pricey, but because I own my own franchise service business, I understand the cost of doing business the right way. I Highly recommend these guys!

However, had I known that I was going to be charged $500 for a 30 minute job I probably would have tried to get a few quotes. I thought we might get some kind of consideration since they were replacing a plastic faucet (handle snapped off) that came with the whole house water softer Ben Franklin installed a few years back. From this information forward is a month after the response from the owner about following up. I still have not heard from anyone on being charged $500 for $10 worth of materials for less than 30 minutes work in an non emergency situation.

I had received a high water bill for $395 and thought that I had a leak. After contacting Charlotte Water I was told that I had to have a plumber come out because I must have a leak. I contacted Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and they had a technician out same day. Adam Wahl was very professional checked out everything and found that I didn’t have a leak and offered to send an email to Charlotte Water to let them know that the bill should not be my responsibility. Was very relieved and satisfied with their service. Thanks Adam! I would definitely give them a 5 star review!
Dajzan was amazing. He was professional extremely knowledgeable and didn’t give up even when he fixed the toilet seal and valve. Water continued to drip through the light fixture in our pantry and butler’s pantry at a faster rate instead of slowing down. He found the problem and it is now repaired. We highly recommend him!

What i like about this company is everyone is happy or at least they pretend to be.. .I worked in customer service for one of the largest automobile companies for 35 years. The towns changed , the Dealerships changed, the service advisors changed, but The thing that never changed was the customer wanted a particular thing fixed , you can fix 10 things on the car, but if you don’t fix the Primary item the customer will not be happy .You can beg for 10,’s or whatever is the highest score in your System, but the customers are smart they know , in their opinion what the service score is about and what score their. Contact people have earned. Sometimes the customer is wrong and completed the survey wrong , so be it “stuff happens, happy employees develop an atmosphere within the business and you can see it , hear it , and smell it..Relationships with customers creates loyal customers who get service more regularly and purchase additional services.Customers will not always be happy , however,’ the worst type of customer is the one that never says anything , they just pay and leave and never comeback no matter how “Dependaworthy “ your business is,Sorry for being long winded, you see I Teach and Preach Customer Satisfaction all the time. I observe the cashiers at the store, waiters and waitresses, telephone operators ( yours today, Friday 11/25 late in the day nearing quitting time was extremely pleasant (score 10)and said she wanted to put me on hold and see if she could check with dispatch provide service tonight and she was able to get the technician here in twenty minutes . He showed up and smiled and said what can do to help today, ( 10 ) very pleasant and reassuring “ i got this. attitude “ remember , sometimes it’s not what is said but your body language screaming what ypur really thinking .Usuallyon Friday after noon gets youj a scowling technician who is looking to end the call as soon as possible resulting in a repeat repair, comeback and misdiagnosis which costs your business a tremendous amount of profits over time.Bottom Line; I recommend this business…..I guess In could have given aThumbsUpI?Sincerely ,Dr. NystrumCommon sense teaching to develop your long-term customer satisfaction and loyalty ,increasing your overall profitability.

Dajzan was very professional. He explained what the problem was and how to fix it. I was a little worried about the cost, I called on Saturday morning. However, for the quality of work, it was very affordable. I would recommend Benjamin Franklin plumbing and Dajzan for any plumbing issues.

I’m going with 3 stars because it took 3 plumbers and 3 visits to get 2 faucets done properly. Thankfully the final plumber gave me some options and used parts I had purchased to complete the job. Stressful
Jason came out after hours to help with a busted pipe. He was so helpful and pleasant and fixed the leak quickly. Couldn’t even tell it had happened. Very responsible price as well!

My experience with them wasn't good. They replaced sump pump at my location. Their charges are way higher than others but since the guy who came was reasonably good explaining the issue, i still went ahead and did the job with them. On top of that, i took yearly maintenance service!!!1. They took the old battery charger after the job is done. I've been following up to get my charger back for more than 3 weeks. No one wants to talk about it. Anytime i call them, I'm getting redirected to someone else who has NO clue.2. They had coupon on their site that i asked them to apply on first visit. I was told they would apply after FIRST job is done. Nothing done so far even after 3 weeks. Same issue, no one wants to talk anything about it.3. Call center service is horrible, for my call, they will make a note and wont transfer it to the right person who can resolve these issues.Hope they take care of this and learn how to OWN the issue as one company and treat customers better.

I called Benjamin Franklin Pluming yesterday with my shower problem and they came the very next day. Dajzan was very professional and immediately solved the problem. I am so impressed with his work!
Dajzan Hunter did a great job first by looking at all the different angles before installing our new water line for our refrigerator/ freezer / ice maker located on our screened in porch. He took the time, he took the ownership of this installation. He is outstanding and I highly recommend him through anyone who has any plumbing needs. If I ever need anything again in this field, I pray Dajzan Hunter is the man who comes and takes care of it.

Jason Kissling did a FANTASTIC job.Issue: water leaking from upstairs toilet which resulted in a wet spot in my ceiling.Resolution: Jason was honest & direct about the most likely scenario as well as the worst case scenario. All in all when it came to the cutting of the ceiling he did an amazing job with doing a minimal cut which ultimately will save me money in the dry wall repair. He is super knowledgeable, took his time, & most importantly didn’t try to upcharge me. Stand up guy & would recommend this company.

I want to thank Tiffany at dispatch for being so professional and kind because I called another company first and their dispatch was very abrasive and condescending. Tiffany understood the importance of making the customer feel comfortable spending their money and I spent a lot of money on this repair. The customer service just got better when Rison, the service technician arrived at my home. I was in a headspace about all of the water that was leaking in my home and the damage that it was causing. Rison explained to me what he needed to do to find the leak. I’m very inquisitive and frugal so I appreciated his calm demeanor and the fact that he wasted no time finding and repairing the leak. I was so relieved to see that leak secured. Candidly speaking, I do not like spending money. While the repair cost was not what I was expecting to pay, I am very pleased with the level of service I received from both Benjamin Franklin employees I encountered. Great job! Thank you!!!
If you read no other review, read this one!!! There is no way, we would have accomplished our remodel in time and with this level of quality without Rodney B!! Rodney B has that unique level of ensuring everything he completes is just as if he is doing the work in his own home ... add that he has what we call 'Rodney OCD' which we appreciate because he shows he cares! It is equally great to see how much his new partner Lauren cares ... she takes the time to prep one job while Rodney finishes another! Thank you, Rodney!!

Jason was very professional and was upfront with the full costs when he arrived. One Hour Heating & Air (5 stars) and Ben Franklin Plumbing are sister companies. I was stunned that an estimate for the faucet installation was not given when I made the appointment. I was only given the trip fee. In the past, I do not recall a trip fee when work was actually done. Remember, we had already purchased the replacement faucet. So we paid for labor $200 plus and a $50 plus trip fee. ??? Just can't quite get that warm-fuzzy customer service feeling from the plumbing side that I get from the HVAC team. 3-stars

The company responded immediately to our request for an estimate to repair or replace a water heater. Adam provided the estimate with a detailed explanation of the cost and process. The cost was reasonable which combined with Adam’s professional demeanor was enough for us to move forward. As promised the installation team arrived within 4 hours of completed the installation within 4 hours. The installation team was prompt, professional, cleaned up after the work was completed, took the defective unit and explained the operation, warranty and cost. It was a pleasure working with them, the cost was reasonable with excellent value.

Jason came and did a great job finding a leak in our shower. We had already used 2 other companies that wanted to tear half of my house down to find the leak. Jason came in and really did a thorough job of troubleshooting and found that it was a tiny leak in the corner of the shower that was allowing water to go behind the wall. He put some silicone on the crack and retested to make sure there was no more water coming through. He did an awesome job and didn't have to destroy my house. There is truth to the old saying You get what you pay for. I will definitely use Benjamin Franklin plumbing again.

There was no salesy vibe at all - just down to earth professionalism.Highly recommend a whole-house water filtration system from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!! The water just tastes so much better than city water.
The service was great. I got a call when the plumber was about 40 minutes away and he showed up on time. The plumber that came out was Adam Wahl. He was very polite, professional, and informative. I am a new homeowner and Adam kindly broke things down for me to help me understand the problem. Will definitely use this company again and ask for Adam.
Great job quality work done the way it's supposed to be done thank youI
Adam, our tech combines great service with honest answers.
Russ Baker and Wyatt West installed our new tankless water heater and did an exceptional job. On time, respectful, professional, and hard workers! We called BF Plumbing on a Sunday and Bill Ferguson was to our house the same day. He was professional, detailed with the knowledge and information, and the full install occurred the following day. Excellent customer service. Russ and Wyatt were so pleasant and friendly while doing their work. They cleaned up very well after the full day of install. We've been very pleased with BF Plumbing and will continue to be using them for our service needs!

Jason was the best! Job well done, great price
Jason K at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing did an amazing job for me and my family when we needed him. I was away traveling for work, during a tornado warning, mind you…. He said he’d be there at 10p and showed up on time, worked his tail off because my wife wanted our sons to be able to take a shower before school like a normal day for their end of grade tests….. he was there digging and digging until he got to the point he could get us “flowing” again.The next morning… calls at 930. “Be there at 1030”… and again on time and completed the repair in a few hours.Jason talked us there the repair the entire time, texted us when it was late to not wake up the kids, was kind and had a calm demeanor…. And was knowledgable of his trade.It was a great experience that we wanted to share. Thank you, Jason!

Jason did a great job. Fast, no mess at all, like the whole thing never happened. A+
This is a challenging review to write. We had a major water line issue in the front yard. Ben Franklin and their tech came at 7 pm less than 30 minutes after we called. The service and demeanor of the tech was 5 stars. However, we were quoted a figure to repair that was, to put it mildly, outlandish and excessive. The next morning another plumber came and gave us a quote for less than half for the exact same repair. I would like to state again that it was the exact same repair except the company we went with did not chop up our sidewalk as Ben Franklin said they would have to do. I’m not talking a difference of a few dozen or hundreds of dollars but multiple thousands. Additionally I was offered a warranty that would have added a few thousand more to the price. And, there’s more, I was also asked if I would like to buy a multi thousand dollar filtration system. I am unsure why this happened other than they simply knew I was in a bind and were trying to scam me. We have used them for years and years but will never ever call them again. I hope this review gets read and people think long and hard about ever using them.
Quick to send service on a Friday evening for a water leak at a retail shopping center. Sean was super nice. He called for additional help once realizing a broader scope than anticipated. The next technician, Jason, and Sean worked together to make the needed repair and clean out. Didn’t feel like they were rushing through trying to get home on a Friday night. Just took their time and figured out a complicated issue. Many thanks to both for getting all the tenants ready for business Saturday morning!
Franklin plumbing is more interested in selling their warranty that fixing our plumbing problem. Must purchase a 2 year warranty to have a faucet replaced. Price was over $700. They also tried to sell a 5 year warranty that was even more expensive. Don't waste your time with this outfit.To Franklin Plumbing's credit they called after my earlier review and explained the technician did not properly understand the offerings. They waived the Trip Charge and offered to send a more experienced plumber the next day. I am glad I took them up on their offer. Kim Knopp was excellent as a plumber and explaining my options.

My husband and I are EXTREMELY pleased with the work that Adam, Kevin & Russ have been doing for the past couple of days. We contacted BF on Monday (7/25) morning when we discovered we didn't have any water. Adam came right over that afternoon to assess our situation (needed a new well-head). On Tuesday, Adam, Kevin & Russ worked ALL day, even during a torrential storm (until it started lightning) to replace the well head. Once that was done, they discovered that the electrical line needed to be completely replaced since the well wasn't working. Finally, after 1-1/2 days with no running water, we were up and running....until about an hour later after everyone had already left! We called Adam because the bladder tank under our house began gushing and wouldn't turn off at the valve (*Adam actually had advised us that this would probably need to be replaced down the road. Little did we know that it was to be a short road). Adam advised us to turn off our well breaker/switch as he proceeded to make the trip back to our house in Waxhaw after 8pm (from Matthews where he was finishing another job), to personally assess the situation. We cannot say enough about Adam's work ethic, overall personable professionalism including the extra time and energy he has been dedicating to us, to thoroughly complete the job! We highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charlotte and hope that you will be as lucky to have a chance to work with Adam (and Kevin & Russ)! Jeanette & Joe Coury (Waxhaw, NC)

I had a great experience the tech came in and diagnosed my problem, and was done within an hour.
Recently used Benjamin Franklin to resolve a clog in the drain pipe. Technician was able to arrive that afternoon which was great, and diagnosed potential issue. When explaining problem I mentioned another company had previously installed an access point in the front yard, and provided approximate location. Technician did not have his probing device, and could not locate the access point. This resulted in having to go in through the toilet, which was an additional $300. The clog was resolved over a few hours, but knowing that I could have saved $300 by the technician having probing device to locate the cleanout access point does not sit well.Overall the technician was prompt, kind, clean, and communicated well, but maybe inexperienced. Spent a lot of time saying “oh no” at having to do certain job requirements. Just frustrating to have to spend 40% more than you have to.

As a single mom who recently became a homeowner, my water bills began to double last fall and I knew there was a leak somewhere. I called them out and they said my water line needed to be replaced and they quoted me almost $9k. At the time I was so flustered and desperate to get it repaired, but now that some time has passed I know several people who have recently had the same leak and had theirs replaced at a fraction of what I paid. I now see that this company was taking complete advantage of my vulnerability. I am still paying this off 9 months later. Yes, I know I agreed and yes, I know there is nothing I can do about it. But just wanted others to be aware that they will rob you. SHAME ON YOU, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. If you want honest plumbers with any integrity, stay far away. I’d sooner let my 10 year old dig up the yard and replace the pipes with toilet paper rolls before I gave them business again.

I had to call Benjamin Franklin plumbing for a leak that obviously wasn't expecting. Bill Ferguson came out to investigate. Unfortunately the pipe that had burst was the one that goes into the ground. Tomorrow he & some other people will be working on the issue. Very professional & courteous! The estimated time was from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Arrived after 9 a.m. which was awesome! Since I had to go into work, they made it happen early! Thank you for all you do & exceptional customer service!Also had them install a new water heater some months ago. Did a great job! Everyone is such a pleasure to deal with.
Kim was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained the process and the required repair. He took time to answer all of my questions and gave the reasons why damage occurred and how further damage could be prevented. I was very happy with his service and professionalism.

Turns out it was the house water line and not the irrigation (which we thought since we had areas of our front sloped bermuda sod simply soaked). The plumber was not sure where to start digging and it would be hit or miss so instead of chopping up the nice lawn, he suggested a Leak Squad to pinpoint the leak underground. Finally got the Squad to come and he found it and marked it within 30 to 40 minutes. Then got Ben Franklin to come same day and dig up one bush and dig out the problem pipe and replace it. FINALLY! Stopped this incessant leak!

Great service from Adam!! Wonderful experience. Will ask for Adam if we need any other plumbing services.
After trying 3 different firms, Ben Franklin answered the phone and promised service the same day. They were on time, courteous, friendly, and professional. In addition, Adam noticed from my license plate that I was a veteran and immediately offered me a 10% discount. I will be definitely be using them if the need arises. I recommend them highly.

I have a main water leak in the yard. Adam and Russ were thorough in explaining the problem and options for a fix! I feel confident that the work will be done right and that they stand behind what they do! Many thanks, Russ and Adam!
We have worked with Benjamin Franklin plumbing for the past two years, and every experience has been positive. Our most recent experience is a prime example of how professional and dedicated this company is. Adam worked with us to find the best solution for replacing our water heater and addressing some other plumbing needs. He gave us multiple options, and at no time did he try and talk us into one option over another. He just patiently answered our questions and let us make our decision with no pressure.That same day, Russ baker and his son Russ JR. came to do the installation. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked efficiently on several tasks. Then came time for the replacement of a faucet that was far less straightforward than anyone thought. If Russ and his son couldn’t figure out how to do it, the faucet simply wouldn’t be fixed because the alternative fix was way too involved and costly. I was fully expecting them to try one or two things, and then to tell us it just couldn’t be done. But they didn’t. They kept searching for a solution until they found one. And throughout all of it, they displayed the same friendliness, professionalism and skill that had impressed us from the beginning.Thanks to them, and to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing as a whole, we now have plentiful hot water, awesome filtered water from the tap, and the ability to once again use our bathtub. Highly recommend this company!

Great Service!! Couldn’t have asked for a better person. So friendly and explained things.
The technician who came to our home was prompt and courteous, and definitely knew what he was doing. We are very satisfied, and will definitely use Benjamin Franklin Plumbing again. (for plumbing and HVAC)
This consumer was scammed. Taking my issue to BF management proved they don’t care.All 6 representatives I met were amiable and professional. However…Prices and rates are premium, services were flawed, and a promised discount was denied.Incomplete work required 2 additional service calls. Even after that, I had to restore hot water flow myself, opening a valve erroneously left closed after 2nd plumber left.I regret decisions made on BF’s “sales” promises. Should have insisted upon a FULLY itemized, written proposal BEFORE work began. Managers defend their business processes, and would not “hear” this client’s issues.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE from Marvin!This was my first time working with Benjamin Franklin. I must say I was very impressed and pleased with Marvin's professionalism, veteran experience, honesty, friendliness, and integrity. I had tree roots stuck in the outside drain, clogging the pipe. I had it cleaned but called BF for a second opinion on the repairs. They were happy to accommodate me. During the estimate visit, Marvin thoroughly explained the cause of the problem and how he was going to fix it. On repair day, he arrived an hour early and called to notify me that he could start immediately! He was honest about the scope of work and went above and beyond to make sure the pipe was properly replaced. I will definitely call Marvin again for any other plumbing issues.

CRAZY HIGH PRICE. And I am from NY/CT, used to paying a lot. They charged $265 + $57 travel fee for a valve that is $20 online and he was out in 20 mins. And then quoted a new tankless water heater that goes for $2k online at $8,500!!! Highway robbery with these guys. I’ll call elsewhere next time because I’m confident someone else could have put in a new valve for less than a 80-90% markup.

Absolutely the worst experience you could have with a company. This coming off using them for a rather pricy job back in 2012...we thought we were in good hands only to be proven the direct opposite. First Adam, the very unpleasant Gentleman that visited my home at first was very abrupt and rude to my wife, spent very little time diagnosing the problem and gave us a very high quote for something they supposedly took care of in 2012...replacing all the pipework and replacing it with PVC...not done. When I reached out to Adam, I found him even more offensive, argumentative and a horrible representation of the company I thought so much of a decade ago to use them again. He is NOT a very good person or anyone I would want to have communicating with my customer base.Then calling Paul, the GM to see what could be done to get this taken care of and expressing my feedback from the conversation I had with Adam, the first thing out of his mouth is what a GREAT employee Adam is...big red flag. When this was stated, I decided I wanted to take my business elsewhere and Paul, being the prompt GM that I guess he thinks he is after being with the company for 23 years said he would cut me a deal and requote the project, that they should have done a decade ago and he would get right back with me. This was at 12:46pm...I am now typing this at 4:43pm and still am awaiting his prompt call back.Needless to say between the two misfits I have encountered today, my business is going to another company. I am so glad they are both very proud of their tenure and knowledge of the business that they feel it very unnecessary to act like real, helpful members of their TEAM and welling to support the customer.There was a time I would have given them 5 stars and after today I am ashamed to have to give them one simply to post.Thanks for nothing Adam and Paul!

David Armour was very professional and conscientious. He made sure that everything was working perfectly with our new water heater before he left.
I had Benjamin Franklin Plumbing come out to disconnect and reconnect my sink as I was having new countertops installed. The whole process to set up the appointment went well and the rep was friendly. Marvin came out and disconnected my sink and explained to me everything he was doing. He also took the time to ask what type the new sink would be and took additional steps to make sure there wouldn't be an issues once he came back to reconnect it. I ran into one issue due to my previous kitchen faucet not working well with my new sink, and Marvin showed my on the Lowe's website which faucet would work best. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and Marvin was friendly and thorough. I would definitely use them again for my plumbing needs.

Had an estimate for a whole house plumbing replacement and was very pleased with the professional services. Russ Baker Jr. Came to check on a possible leak under the house. He was on time and did a quick service.
Kim was the best. He was professional, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We will be happy to have him the next time we need service. Thank you Kim.
Russ performed our new hot water heater install quickly. He was very attentive to not making a mess and cleaning up. We are very pleased with his work. Our issue was with scheduling. The plumber that diagnosed the need to replace the heater indicated we would be Russ' first customer on Monday. No one had arrived by 10:30 nor had we been contacted about any delay. I called the person that had come on Saturday. He said Russ was on an emergency call and dispatch should have called us. I still had not hear from dispatch at 12:00. I called the field manager. He was in his car and did not have access to information. He said he would contact the office and have someone call us. Shortly after, I received a call from dispatch. It was explained that dispatch did not know we were scheduled for the first call. We would be next on the list. Their motto is on time or you don't pay. I asked if we would get a discount since we were not the first call as promised. Dispatch said she would check with her manager and call back. I did not receive a call back. The job required an electrician. The electrician called at 8:30AM and asked if the plumber had arrived. The electrician indicated that we would be the first call of the day. That is why I know that is was communicated that we were to be first of the day.

Thanks Kim!!
Adam W apprised us of our options for our water heater situation and helped us reach the best decision quickly. The cost was minimal (zero). Adam was professional and positive, providing several options for us to consider for the future. Benjamin Franklin readily responded to our call.
The service I received from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was absolutely superb! My water heater was leaking and when I called them to see what it would cost they were able to send someone out the same day to give me a reasonable quote. They were even able to schedule the install for the very next day. David and Wyatt came out, removed the old water heater and installed the new one in no time at all. They were able to clean up the old plumbing and bring everything up to code and it looks amazing. I will definitely be using them again for any of my plumbing needs.

Dazjan was the Tech, and he was absolutely fantastic!
He was prompt, professional, friendly and I would recommend BenFranklin and especially Dazjan!
Water was leaking from upstairs and coming through my downstairs ceiling. They were prompt and the technician was very friendly. The problem was it was over $200 just for the visit, and they wanted another $1,300 to repair the problem. While the technician was here, he did not stop the leak, but said he would come back four days later to fix it. For $1,300 I could not wait four days to get a leak stopped. I called another nationally known company that came out at 10:00 pm for free! They stopped the leak for no charge and said they would come back and fix the problem for half of what Benjamin Franklin quoted me. This is the second time I have used Benjamin Franklin, but I will not call them again. They are way overpriced. Shop around with other licensed plumbers before you agree to use them.

David and Alex did a great job replacing two toilets and installing a water pressure control valve. They were here pretty much all day due to additional repairs that had to be made to do the installation properly. They were friendly and non-intrusive. We are completely satisfied with the job they did and will call on Ben Franklin for any future plumbing needs.
Kevin, our plumber from Benjamin Franklin was awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Was meticulous in how he removed our old sink and installed the new one my wife got for Christmas. He took time to remove the old glue and any stuck on stuff that had gotten under the old sink. Installed the new sink, re-installed the disposal, and then rebuilt the plumbing under our countertop, all in an afternoon. When he was finished he went out to his van and got a broom and dustpan, cleaned up the counter, inside the cabinet and the floor. He left our kitchen in better shape then he found it. Kevin did outstanding work! Will be calling again when we are ready to purchase a new dishwasher and need it installed!

This was our first time that we have used Benjamin Franklin, but it most certainly will not be the last! Travis Hammonds was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

Jon Navarro was very professional and helpful in explaining what was needed in a kitchen renovation and bathroom update at our daughter and son-in-law’s new home. He was able to save us money and time on several projects and will work with us throughout demo and installation. This is the latest of several major projects that Benjamin Franklin has worked on with us. We always find their costs reasonable, their responsiveness first rate and their plumbers on time and more than capable of getting the job done quickly and with minimal disruption while delivering excellent results.
It was almost 9:30 P.M. when we got home from dinner, and he was here waiting for us. We did not know he was coming this late on a Sunday night. He could not see the area that needed attention in the dark, so he said someone would be here tomorrow to work on it. I could understand that, and it was fine for us. Everyone at Ben Franklin has always been professional and polite. They always do the work like it is their property. You can't ask for more than that. Great work every time.

I looked up a 24 hr plumber after noticing my hot water heater was leaking. Someone from Benjamin Franklin of Charlotte came out that evening. I thought it might be a simple fix but the plumber took a quick look and said entire tank needed to be replaced. He quoted me a price with tax over $5,000 for a 50 gallon gas hot water heater. He said the price included a 9 or 12 year warranty and maintenance contract guarantee on the hot water heater They were prompt and courteous.I did not use their service anymore and did not agree to installation. I called to make sure everything was canceled since they were working on setting up another visit. They agreed to cancel everything and I just paid for the service visit that told me it needed to be replaced.I used Benjamin Franklin in South Carolina to install a smaller gas hot water heater a few years ago and the cost was $850 but that is not the same franchise apparently.

Travis was here on time both visits, proffessional and did fix my issue..drain work my builder failed to do correctly!! I will use Benjamin Franklin plumbing always, and reccomend them to anyone@!
I suspected my water heater was leaking, so I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to come out and do a free evaluation, as per the coupon they offer on their website. Travis came out, did an evaluation, discovered the issue, and gave me a range of options. He was very professional and did a great job.
First time contacting BF Plumbing for a plumbing repair. They responded quickly, professionally, and did everything we were hoping to have done. And today is Saturday. We did not think we could get a plumber quickly, especially since it was not an emergency, and it was a Saturday. They are now the only ones we will call when we need a plumber. And our repair person, Travis, was really friendly and nice to talk to!!!
Adam came out to install a hot water heater recirculation pump. Price was fair. He provided professional service and installation. Will definitely call if I have any other plumbing needs.
I’m putting Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in my contact list. They are always responsive, professional and B.S.-free. Jason was the service provider and was awesome.
Russ and Alex came to my house to replace a water heater and also replace a copper pipe & spigot. Both were cordial, helpful, and did an excellent job. The company also sent an electrician who did his part in about 15 min. Everyone was very professional and proficient and I would consider hiring them again because of the very positive experience.

Adam with Benjamin Franklin was our second estimate. The first found out later was not accurate at all. The first plumber whom I will not name, came in and looked around. Brought in the camera to attempt to find the leaky pipe. He told me there wasn't anywhere to run the camera cable through to take a look at the pipe, he tried the drain in the bathtub nut the cable would not fit. So he phoned his office and came back with an estimate. I did not trust what he had done, basically he was guessing and he had guessed wrong. This is where Benjamin Franklin came in. Adam from Ben took a look at the previous estimate and couldn't understand what he read including the price. Adam found the leak via the camera, he pulled the toilet and ran the camera through that pipe. Adam spent a lot of time running water, the toilet the vanity and shower to make sure he had found the issue. His estimate was about $1500 less. I was going to call the other company and let them know that their supposed plumber did not do his job properly, but I did't, he needs additional training. A plumbing company with a name Ben Franklin, I wasn't too trusting to call them. As they say somtimes you can't judge a book by its cover
Great experience! The estimate for a sewer line repair just outside my house was fair and a good value compared to other estimates. I decided to use them in the afternoon and they arranged all of the utility location service by the same evening. They were 15 minutes early the next morning to begin the repair. All workers were professional and kept me updated on the entire process. They finished by the early afternoon ... on time and on budget!

Travis was great at educating me on the issue, he completed the job in a timely manner and was professional and friendly! I appreciated his ability to assess the problem, provide the quote and solution, and complete the work without hassle. With me working from home, along with having 3 children working from home (both work and school), it was not a disruption to my home. I will be a repeat customer because of his attention to detail and speedy yet spot-on work!
Travis came in and made an assessment of the problem and showed me my options. I told him that I was planning on having the garbage disposal removed and not replaced. After seeing the quotes I had the garbage disposal replaced too. Their prices are very reasonable and their technicians are always professional. I'm very pleased with the quality of work Travis did. I have in the past and will continue to recommend this company to friends and family.
At first my husband and I thought we might need a water heater replaced. However, it turns out the expansion tank needed replaced. Anthony Allison was amazing! He knew right away what needed to be done and had us fixed by noon. Very personable, knowlegable, and efficient. The cost for this fast repair was amazingly comfortable. Next time we have a plumbing issue, this is who I want back in our home, hands down!

After being blown off by other service providers, BF answered the phone (step 1 of running a successful service biz) and scheduled a tech (Travis) to come out. Showed up by the prescribed ETA window (step 2 of a successful service biz, showing up when you say). This was investment property that I was not present for, but Travis worked with my tenant (who said he was very nice and patient), he diagnosed and sent me photos of the obvious issue (broken toilet tank). He quoted me several price point options, we picked one and Travis had us a new working toilet same day.I have zero idea if BF was a good value or gouged me or what, but after outreaches to competitors that went into dead air, these guys responded, showed up when they said they would and did what they said they would do at the price they said they would do it at. Time is short, I don't have time to haggle with multiple vendors or keep calling to get through, just come and get it done so I can move on with life and Travis at Ben Franklin got it done!

Matt and Dennis did a fantastic job! First Dennis did a thorough inspection and kindly, respectfully pointed out things that needed to be repaired, as well as things to keep an eye on. Then Matt repaired everything, giving me options regarding cost and my budget. This is how every service company should be doing business, with the consumer's satisfaction in mind FIRST. I appreciated their friendly, courteous, professional care, respect, knowledge and skill, as well as not trying to sell me things that I do not need or want. Your company will be my go-to for my home and I highly recommend to all. Thank you for being the best and hiring the best like Dennis and Matt.
Called ahead to schedule an appointment and no one showed up or even tried to communicate with me. I was told several times service is guaranteed on the day you request an appointment. Day of I waited all day, called just before 6pm since I hadn't heard anything and was told I was next on the list. Around 9pm I called again to confirm no one was coming - they weren't. They claimed they called me but my records show they didn't. Nor did they leave a voicemail as any professional company would. Terrible customer service, terrible communication. All I was offered was to reschedule for a higher price point because they have no availability. Clearly they are overscheduling themselves. Was also told a supervisor would be reaching out to rectify the situation, guess what? I've heard nothing. Called another plumber and got things squared away immediately.
Amazing service, was able to get a fast appointment, Dajzan was amazingly helpful, came right on time, worked hard to do things the right way. Highly recommend!

Anthony was such a super great guy. Very professional and knew his stuff and I had total confidence in him. He gave me and my son an estimate and explained what would need to be done so we could think about it and our course of action.

Had it not and we did ended up needing Ben Franklin’s Plumbing we would have called Anthony for sure.

After nearly 12 hours of dealing with plumbing issues that threatened to have us sending our overnight guests away (I work at an inn), Travis Hammonds came in and literally saved the day. He was quick, professional, friendly, efficient, and knew his stuff. I would’ve hugged him if we weren’t in a pandemic. I’m pretty sure I love him more than my kids right now (I’m joking but only a little!). I would recommend this company, especially Travis, to anyone and will be keeping his contact information handy for future use.
Had a visit from Adam Wahl today, Quick diagnostic and repair job. We have been requesting Adam as our preferred plumber for years now. Very kind guy and good conversation. Would recommend 100%.If you are looking for a plumber who does not sugar coat anything and tells it like it is... then Adam is your guy.
Our water main began leaking between the meter and the house. Adam arrived on time to provide a quote to replace it. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We worked together to determine the best routing for the replacement. Accepting the contract and scheduling the work by telephone was an easy process. The crew arrived as scheduled and the work was completed in the time quoted. Quality products were used and professionally installed. The crew was careful not to damage sidewalks and landscaping. We are very happy that there are no more leaks! Thank you for quality work!

UPDATED - after sharing my experience on Google, I received an extremely unprofessional and aggressive phone from their customer service representative, Laura. She threaten that she could have charged me a lot more for service than she did and that I should not have written a review.BEWARE - had Ben Franklin come look at minor leak in a toilet. The issue was simply a loose bolt the the technician tightened.The total bill invoice was for $163. The service call was $77, there were no parts needed for the repair so it was $83 to tighten the bolt.Not to mention, the technician lied to me on the phone and told me he was there for 45 minutes however my tenant said he was in and out in about 10.They did refund some of the money after I voiced my concerns.Regardless, that's bad business. I was very optimistic about this business based on the good reviews but got ripped off. Would not recommend.
So glad we called Benjamin Franklin for our after-hours shower repair this evening! Within 20 minutes Travis called us back and was en route. He was professional, confident, and had the issue solved quickly. He stayed after the repair was over to answer additional questions we had about the home. Extremely courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. I can’t imagine a better experience. Thanks, Travis!
Had a clogged pipe from the kitchen while preparing Thanksgiving dinner. My call was answered immediately by a competent human!

Fantastic service from Kim. I placed a call for service to my gas logs and he was there the next day. Quickly diagnosed the problem. But he took the time to ask me how the logs/gas had been behaving, what I had observed etc. Parts were ordered and my logs are better than new, just 2 days later. Great customer service, great attitude. So happy we found Benjamin Franklin Heating & Air, but I'll know to ask for Kim. :)

5 stars. I had a leaky valve on a sink in our new house. Tech arrived sooner than dispatch said he would, he called ahead, arrived as expected, was very personable, took a look and explained what was going on. He told me what the standard pricing was, and found a way to make the visit affordable for me. He also explained some things about the plumbing setup in the house that might have otherwise taken me some time to figure out. He had to run out to get some parts, but was back soon enough, and fixed the problem quickly. Great experience all around. Will continue to be a Benjamin Franklin Plumbing customer.
Although my first experience with BF Plumbing wasn’t great, the plumber that was sent to ultimately fix my issue was amazing. Anthony A. was one of the most professional people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. The job took exactly the time he and amount he quoted. He was evidenced his progress along the way and talked through the rationale of any change requests. He was super clean, thorough, and knowledgeable. He was just a decent human being and good a person.
I was almost a customer today. I read the reviews and they changed my mind. Why would a water heater cost so much. I agree everyone should be payed for Thor services but wow. I did some internet surfing and found out I can buy a 50 gallon gas water heater for under $750. After further surfing I found it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to install it. I spent $793 for the water heater and connecting parts. I’m no plumber but I can add. I saved almost $2300 by doing it myself. I admit everyone can’t do this but I bought this water heater knowing that it will only last 10years. If I continue to do it myself in 30 more years I still would have not spent $3500. You guys do as you choose but I refuse to give away or have money taken from my kids. This company is robbing people blind. Call if you truly have to. I’m glad I didn’t call and my bank account is extremely glad I didn’t call. No stars should be allowed!
Travis Hammonds of Benjamin Franklin was very nice and professional. He was very helpful & answered all my questions.

Adam was our technician. He arrived on a Sunday ahead of when we expected him—but called ahead of his arrival. He was professional, explained things so that we understood the issues, and outlined the service plan in detail prior to doing the work. He went over and above in his customer service—outstanding. ( Also, the person who handled our initial call was very professional setting up Adam’s service call.)

We noticed that our water heater was leaking on Sunday. We called after hours and a nice gentleman Mike came out. He advised us that we would need a new water heater. He was very professional he made sure that he gave us every option that was available. He even called and made sure that they could come and install a new one first thing Monday morning. Monday morning Russ Sr and Russ Jr came out. They were both very professional and made fast work of getting our new water heater installed. They made sure that we did not go without water for very long while they installed everything. Andy came out on Thursday of this week and inspected to make sure everything was working as it should be. Andy was also professional about his visit. this is the second time we've had to use Benjamin Franklin to the water heater and I would recommend them to anyone.
Very friendly. Excellent work. Professionally installed and cleaned up when finished. Two thumbs up??!
I would definitely recommend using this company for all of your plumbing needs. Adam and Russell were very knowledgeable, clear and patient in discussing any expectations and in any questions that we needed answered. Both were very helpful and friendly. The customer representative who set the appointment was also friendly and willing to assist in anyway she could.
We had an emergency on SuperBowl Sunday! Adam was dispatched within 30 minutes and had everything fixed within an hour. He was very helpful and professional! Helped us out of a really bad spot!
The plumbing issue we had is one I’m sure every first time homeowner who purchases an old but beautiful home experiences. Backed up toilets and showers, clogged pipes leading to emergency. Dave came out and diagnosed our problem and gave use clear solutions. When we scheduled the work to be done Dave, Joe, and their team came out and took care of us. They did the work we requested and more. They made sure we were aware of issues that we could face in the future, giving us helpful information so we could make the best choices for our wallet and home. I am a happy customer. Honestly beyond happy.

This place is hit or miss. On our first service call the plumber was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable and didn't try and sell us things we didn't need. However, I called back a year later and got the exact opposite experience. The plumber didn't talk or explain thing at all and was recommending the most expensive fix without any real explanation.
He came out to completely repipe my entire home. He did an amazing job and I barely even knew they were here. He was very polite, patient, and knowledgeable. I even had problems getting my debit card to run, but he helped me make sure it was all done even though it didn't show on his end as paid. Great employee and will definitely use again should the need arises. I'll also be referring them as well.

Called late at night when the water heater died and left a message. Call was returned promptly the next morning, and the tech came out and verified the problem, recommended a solution with a couple of options. Installer arrived on time the next morning and completed the install in about 4 hours. The tech was great and explained every thing that he did and how the new system worked. This was a great experience from a good group of professionals.

When we found the water heater was leaking they sent a technician Mike out after hours and he quickly diagnosed the issue and told us it needed to be replaced. He have us options and explained the benefits of each one. First thing this morning Russ and Russ showed up to install the new water heater. These have to be the best installers because they were very knowledgeable and explained the whole process. Once the got the new one in they made sure to give us a few recommendations to consider but weren't pushy. These two make the Benjamin Franklin experience one that I will tell my friends about and recommend. These two are are great example of professionals who have excellent customer service skills.
Travis did an Outstanding job! Very knowledgeable in his craft and extremely professional! He immediately identified the issue and wasted no time taking action to correct. I appreciate Travis' assistance rectifying this month long issue and highly recommend his services.

Mike was able to fix our gas fireplace igniter the same day I placed the call. We had the replacement part so it took him less than 15 minutes to complete the job. I was very happy with his professional service. I'm giving a 3 star rating because I thought the service was way over priced for the amount of work he did.
Travis Hammonds fixed an issue with my tankless hot water heater in less than 20 minutes. He explained everything to me perfectly. He is the best service tech!
Travis was very helpful. We had new flooring installed through the house and needed 3 toilets put back into the bathrooms. He came out at 9pm and again the next morning, on a Sunday to take care of the rest. He also answered questions on a few things while he was here. Very friendly and accommodating.
Michael did a courtesy inspection to satisfy the buyers of my home that the toilet was stable.Kevin did the initial job and I was very pleased.Their home inspector put in his report that the master toilet was loose.I call BF for a courtesy inspection and Michael came out (on a Sunday morning) and found the toilet to be firmly secured to the floor.I’m a fan and would highly recommend BF.

Very impressed with Benjamin Franklin, thus far. I was looking for a reputable plumber through Home Advisor on Saturday after 5pm.I got a call from BF Plumbing within 5 minutes and they have already been to my house to evaluate and quote the job before noon today, the following Monday. My technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He was also friendly and pleasant.

Adam Wahl our plumber was great! He is so knowledgeable in the plumbing industry. He found our problem in minutes and had it solved so quickly. He gave us a lot of great information to help us improve the appearance and functionality of our bathroom. The customer service was really good as well in speaking with Ashley and April! Thank you Adam and the staff at Benjamin Franklin plumbing, you guys are awesome, I see why you have an A+ rating with the BBB.
Kim came out and was on time and very professional. He listens to the customer's concerns and addresses them all while educating homeowners as he works. He makes himself available even after the job is complete in the event you have any questions. His experience in this field is amazing and through everything he does you can certainly tell you're in good hands.Thank you for helping us, Kim. You're a rockstar!
We contacted Benjamin Franklin Plumbing at 830pm on a Sunday. Less than 12 hours later, Dave had arrived, accessed the situation, and had a plan to fix our problem. The fix was quick. We used a coupon from the website and saved $50 as new customers. We recommend this company to anyone who has the misfortune of needing plumbing services.

Great experience today with Benjamin Franklin. A very knowledgeable and kind service pro, Bill Ferguson, arrived at my home within less than a couple hours of my calling for plumbing assistance. Bill was very professional, explained in detail what was causing the plumbing issue and offered options on next steps. Superior service by Bill, thank you!

The Tech came out, diagnosed the problem, an offered solution. Great Service.
Mr Michael Fisher was my service tech. He is every customer's professional service tech. Professional, courteous and he leaves the work area cleaner than he found it. I highly recommend Mr Fisher. Benjamin Franklin plumbing should be commended for having an individual such as Mr Fisher representing them. Kudos to Mr Fisher!
It was a very long week. I had four different people in three days look at my issue and it still had not been fixed. Finally, when Austin and his co-worker showed up in the AM they started working right away, they ran into a couple of issues and even had to leave a couple of times but kept me informed and reassured me that my plumbing would be fixed today. They worked on replacing all of my piping until a little after 8PM. Although, they were a bit more expensive than others, the customer service and quality of work was worth it, I will continue to use Benjamin Franklin and recommend them to anybody that is in need of plumbing professionals.
Very professional... Had tankless water heater giving us problems. Adam diagnosed the problem and not only fixed it but also found some other issues.
My daughter had an appointment made a week ago. Waited all day. Called at 6pm and was told was next. Called at 9pm and was told someone called to reschedule… but no one had called OR left a message. No offer to have someone come out at a definite time unless the higher price is paid. Horrible service and “punctual” should be taken off their ads. Only call if you don’t really want someone to show up.

First rate service from a fabulous guy! He dealt with a leaky water heater at midnight with good humor and professionalism. And he came back to oversee the installation of a new one today. This is the kind of service that makes a one time customer become a forever customer. No drama, just good, hard, reliable work that reflects so well on the whole operation.

I had the pleasure of working with Thomas and Kim from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Both were extremely professional, and helpful during a very stressful time. I worked with Kim first to diagnosis the problem, and when I found out he wasn’t going to be the one to fix it, I was a little disappointed, but Kim spoke with me and told me how great Thomas was, and that if I had any issues to call him back. Thomas was amazing, and made me very comfortable and confident in what he was fixing. I really loved that they both took the time to educate me on what they found, and why they were fixing what they were fixing. I have been taken advantage of by companies in the past, and I did not get that vibe from them at all. Highly recommend these two, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!

Kim and the entire Ben Franklin Plumbing team were some of the most responsive and customer-oriented repair people that we have worked with in Charlotte. They really listen and show that they care so much that they spent a lot of time trying to uncover what was really going on with our water heater and piping system under our house. It took several trips and one very long day for them to work through what seemed to be endless feet of pipe. The problem was finally discovered originating from one of the bathrooms furthest away from our new tankless water heater.Now everything works great!What I really appreciate is that they did the work to solve the problem and did not charge us for all the time since they installed our new system. They stayed with the problem until it was resolved even though it took time to find to no fault of theirs; just crazy plumbing underneath our house.I highly recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing; Kim and his entire team.
MR. Bill was courteous, and friendly.He definately knows his job. I felt so comfortable while he took application for us. Thank you Bill I definitely will refer you to others. Then the next day Russ Sr & Russ Jr., came out to replace the old gas water heater. They were very friendly, and wore shoe covering. Cleaned up the area. I'm very pleased with the business. I will refer all to friends and neighbors. Thank you so much. Amy R.
I tried fixing my toilet myself. After a while I realized I needed help. I called Benjamin Franklin and spoke to a really nice lady to asked me some questions and gave me some information. Thomas Burgess called earlier than she told me which was a plus. He came to my home. He was extremely professional and courteous. He came in looked at things and in less than 5 minutes the issue was fixed. He boosted my non handyman ego by telling me I was so close to fixing it myself and that what I did, I did well. Again, a boost to my non handyman ego. He was such a nice guy and very professional. I would definitely recommend him and them. Ask for him by name. A great representative of their company. Highly satisfied.

I cannot say enough about Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and colleagues. Kim Knopp came out on an emergency call for one of my clients. He was very professional very thorough and offered excellent advice and suggestions to ensure that my clients home would be protected in the future. He asked me to go out and take a look at the work after it was completed and make sure that he had cleaned up appropriately and said that if it was not done to my satisfaction he would immediately come back out and rectify the situation. The cleanup was immaculate and he was very professional. He even followed up with a full report of the repairs that were made so that I would have a better understanding of what occurred and the corrections he made. I am very impressed!

I had a wonderful experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. I spoke with Shannon at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and she was a model of how any customer would want to be treated on the phone. She was informative, courteous, and took the time to explain to me exactly how Benjamin Franklin Plumbing conducts business. Shannon arranged for a plumber to perform a same-day visit to my home.As promised, the technician, Kevin C., called to say he was on his way. Upon arrival, he immediately diagnosed the problem, gave me a written estimate, and then performed the necessary work when I approved the estimate. Kevin was knowledgeable, worked quickly, and fixed the problem. Furthermore, he was professional, courteous, and answered our questions. This is the kind of customer service I remember growing up. It's good to know that people like Shannon and Kevin C. are representing Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with excellence and providing the service their customers deserve.

Anthony was very friendly and made us feel comfortable with him.

both the plumber and receptionist were very polite, however the company is a rip off. Paid $147 just for him to come out, then without telling us added a gaston tax another $10. In order for the plumber to check the walls for a leak was going to cost $1200+. also wanted to charge $750+ to fix a toilet that cost us $25 to fix.
Jason was great! Will hire again
We had a plumbing emergency that completely shut down our home and our basement apartment (where our Mom lives). Benjamin Franklin responded when others would not help us. We are VERY grateful to them for getting us back in business quickly and professionally. Many Thanks and Kudos!! Highly recommend!!

I totally enjoyed talking with Bill, who he performed the job in an excellent manner and completed it in a very short amount of time. I completely recommend Bill and look forward to having him come to our home with any other future needs we many have.
Our plumber was personable, knowledgeable and polite. He did a thorough annual inspection, gave my husband a quick tutorial on how our whole-house water filter works, and installed a new disposal. They may not be the cheapest, but their work for us over the years has been excellent.
John H. came and professionally repaired our issue. He was knowledgeable and thorough. He also helped suggest some preventative things we can do in the future. I highly recommend John and Ben Franklin! They came the same day I called and were fantastic in not only the business office but also service at my house!

He reset one of the toilets and replaced the PRV to address the humming and water pressure concern.
Mr Ferguson experience and professional is unmatched. The work was amazing. Found the leak replaced the part and while inspecting my water connections, found that my water pump had singes on the outer covering and the release valve was stuck. I don’t know how much damaged would have occurred. Thanks so much for sending out a true laser sharp technician

Kevin did a great job and was knowledgeable about all questions that was asked. He found my leak quickly. Also he let me know what he was doing every step of the way. It was a repair I said I would make myself. He only charged for what he did and gave me a military discount
I called on Thursday afternoon and requested to schedule an appointment for Friday to have a new custom sink (that was already installed) hooked up to existing plumbing along with installation for a new garbage disposal. The call-taker asked what time frame I wanted to schedule for and I advised late morning or early afternoon and was told that would not be a problem.Friday morning and afternoon came and went and I never heard from anyone and nobody ever showed up. I called back and spoke with another call-taker who claimed I was second on the list for my appointment request and a service technician would be on the way in a few hours. The call-taker also attempted, twice, to schedule a complimentary hot water heater tank flush to be completed during my service appointment. I had to tell the call-taker both times I have a tankless hot water heater and I wasn't interested.Friday night, after not having anyone call or show up, I received a call from Travis who told me he was the service technician assigned to my service appointment. Travis apologized for not making it out and promised he would come on Saturday morning at 9am, on his own time, to complete the job. By 10:30am, Travis still hadn't shown up and I tried to call him but the call went straight to voicemail.I then called back to Benjamin Franklin just after 10:30am on Saturday and spoke with another call-taker who told me he didn't know what happened to Travis but assured me we were on the list for Kevin to come out for our service appointment. The call-taker confirmed Kevin would be out in the afternoon. At 3:30pm, I called again to check the status of my appointment request and was told I was next in line. At 6:00pm, I still hadn't heard anything from Kevin and no one had come to my house. I then called back to cancel my service request and spoke with a call-taker who cancelled my appointment and then told me not to hesitate to call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in the future for any other plumbing needs. I told her that I could guarantee I won't be calling.I hope that my experience was an anomaly but no one at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing ever seemed surprised when I called back to find out what was going on. Hopefully people who choose to do business with the punctual plumber have better experiences than I did.On a positive note, Morris Jenkins now offers full service plumbing along with actual appointment times and employees who show up!

Looked to hire them to do a line replacement on my house, they charged me $399 just to find the leak (which ultimately translated into guess work) never refunded my service call fee after I brought them back for the leak detection, and then quoted me over $6,000 for the repair!!!Meanwhile, the very next plumber I call (Queen City Plumbing) offers to do the exact same job for $2500! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM! They try to charge outrageous prices to people who they count on not knowing any better! I will NEVER do business with this company ever again. Please don't waste your time hiring this company for anything, they will overcharge you!Oh, and before someone who works here hops on with the whole “we can’t find you in the system” bit, that’s because I’m not writing this under my legal last name, as I honestly don’t want the hassle of calling you. It’s not like you’d refund the over $400 you already took from me, and honestly, anything short of that just isn’t worth my time. So, if you want to “discuss this” guarantee IN WRITING that you’ll offer me a full refund, and then I’ll talk to you all, but not a moment before. I accept that you all cheated me out of all this money for zero work done during a pandemic. I’m just trying to make sure no one else’ who might be reading this suffers the same fate as me.

Adam and Russ came out to help me with some issues in the home I just moved into , the water pressure was reading 110 psi and my shower handle/valve was ruined and leaking Russ dug up my yard in the freezing cold and rain on a Sunday no less and professionally installed a shutoff valve and a pressure reducing valve so that my house could be serviced and also safeguarded fromHigh water pressures . During attempting to repair my shower we found that someone had already attempted to rebuild it and going into the wall was necessary , both guys were considerate , patient and professional and actually pretty chill guys . I understand the quality of work and what it costs to hire professionals for what needed to be done . I’m very satisfied with the work Adam and Russ put in they really went above and beyond ! and now I can actually feel peace of mind in my home . Thank you - Jason

Work was done correctly but nowhere close to worthy of the price paid. 24-7 only means they answer the phone and all hours not that they will be there on a Saturday night. Got an appointment for Sunday morning, and told the tech who called the part number that I needed. He said he understood but when he arrived he said he did not have that part and would have to return to his warehouse. He came back and replaced the shower cartridge in 10 minutes. He gave me a bill for over 10 times the cost of the cartridge that I could have replaced myself.

Dave A. was outstanding. He replaced a water heater and redid the poor plumbing from the previous plumber. It looks so much better and who doesn't love a new water heater! I will definitely be calling later this year to have two toilets replaced. Thank you Dave!
The plumber himself was friendly, knowledgeable and did great work. BUT there was were multiple delays and the work was not performed at the promised time, remember the company bill themselves as the punctual plumbers and he definitely was not punctual. This would normally not be too big of a deal, but the company's motto is if there's any delay, it's you we pay and they do not intend to honor this motto, they attempted to negotiate out of honoring their motto and even billed a full un-discounted amount for the service. Again their motto is not a promise of full price if there's a delay nor discount if there's a delay it implicitly states its YOU WE PAY so I unfortunately can't give any more stars than this considering that they tried to worm out of honoring their motto, which was a contributing factor in us hiring them in the first place.
We had a pipe burst, and called for a plumber so that the water damage team could get in quickly. I was given an appointment time of 0800-1100, and the time window passed without a call that the plumber was running late. 90 minutes after the end of the time range, the plumber called to say we were next. By that time I had already started repair on my own, as I couldn't wait any longer due to the repair crew being scheduled.
I would give them a zero if possible. We called them for one fitting that needed to be replaced, they talked me into $ 3000 worth of additional fitting they suggested needed to be replaced. one of the fittings they replaced leaked and we had no hot water at showers after they left. we called them again they said everything was fine. We called a second plumber who said they must have crossed lines and that we needed to call Ben Franklin back to fix their mistake. They came back again and said everything was fine no crossed lines. We then had another fitting burst we called them back they sent another tech who charged us again to fix fitting. We still have no hot water after 2 weeks in. I called tech who said maybe the fittings were clogged from the water being shut off, he supposedly ordered parts, that are not in as of yet. I called a different plumber who is here now saying that Ben Franklin crossed lines he is currently fixing. The owner Mike Fowler advertises he puts his cell number on all the invoices. however after 4 calls to him he is conveniently never available. I would recommend never using this company!

Tech onsite removed some hair from a drain, was here 5 min. Charged me over $225. This was a ripoff.I stupidly called them back to address and shower faucet. The plumber came out turned a screw driver, informed me it was fixed and left. I checked and the faucet assembly is still not functioning correctly. Now they refused to refund $57 (calling it a trip fee). For what? Someone to walk in and tell me it is fix and working fine?They continually disappoint me. I give up on trying to use them. I will make it my goal that others know of their lack of service.
Anthony did a good job. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and made the job seem so easy and fast. My wife and I will definitely call him the next time we need a Plumber.
Kevin was very knowledgeable and professional. He didn't mind that I was hovering over him trying to learn how to fix my shower. Kevin was extremely polite and personable. Benjamin Franklin plumbing responded to my Thumbtack project request in a timely manner and pricing was reasonable and consistent with the big plumbing and HVAC companies.

Matthew did an excellent job explaining what we needed to correct the issue. He is the best service technician that we could ever have imagined. In the future, if we have an issue with our plumbing, Matthew will be the first person that we call. He resolved our issue & made a lasting impression on how to provide outstanding service.

I am a realtor and Joe Moore saw me showing a home to my client. We just went under contract and the home inspector noted there was an issue with the water softener tank. Joe introduces himself and let it be known that he is a plumber with Benjamin Franklin. He then proceeded to inspect the entire plumbing for the home and gave us estimates on every issue he could find. Joe is an amazing employee to have. Joe will be my go-to plumber first everything from now on. He’s a hard worker, knowledgeable and very professional. Thanks Joe.

Kim and Andre were fantastic! No nonsense, straight to the point, and extremely knowledgeable. You could tell they both knew their craft well. Very pleased with the way they explained the process and the quote. I am looking forward to them performing the cleaning service and maintenance of our gas fireplace so that my family and I feel safe to use it again.
Had to remove and replace water valve to dishwasher line. Adam is the best! We ask for him whenever we call. He takes care of business quickly. I highly recommend this plumbing service!

Travis was amazing, one - if not the most - professional plumber I've come across. He wasted no time, helped diagnose and fix our issue. He also was proactive but not at all salesy on some things we could to for preventive maintenance.
Very professional and knowledgable. Casey goes the extra mile and demonstrated great customer care attitude. He was a pleasure to have his time, he did excellent work and went the extra effort to make sure the resultant job was a professional one. I am very pleased.
Great experience using Ben Franklin. The plumber Anthony exceeded our expectations, was prompt, courteous, and was very easy to work with for putting in water lines in our basement and new bathroom. The price was about the average going from other plumbers but the service so easy I wouldn't hesitate to use them again
My plumber, Travis, was friendly and did quick work, however he overcharged me significantly. He charged me nearly $4,000 to replace my water heater, I later learned that the max value of such a heater is three grand. I won't be doing business with this company again.
I had a fantastic experience with Bill from Benjamin Franklin plumbing. Bill helped me figure out a water pressure issue and evaluated the cost and benefits of installing a full house water filtration system. Bill was knowledgeable, a great communicator (explained things to me in laymen’s terms), and fun to work with. I will definitely look to Bill and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for my future plumbing needs!
Friendly and prompt! The plumber I am working with is experienced, knowledgeable and reliable. I work which means I’ve had to coordinate a time on the weekend for the work to be done. Anthony has been readily available and I feel like I’m getting a great value! He didn’t charge me the initial trip fee and will instead apply it towards the job!

Kim was very courteous when he visited to follow-up on the installation of a new water heater. He listened to the one issue that had arisen, and committed to addressing the issue to my satisfaction in a timely manner. I am very pleased with the quality of the water heater and the responsiveness of Kim in addressing my issue with no additional charges to me. I would definitely recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charlotte for anyone with plumbing needs.

I was amazed at how well they worked together as a team to complete my leaky waterline repair. Well done !! I will request them should I ever need service again ! I hope they are appreciated by your company as much as I appreciated them being here to solve my leak isues!
Adam is reliable, thorough, professional, and friendly. Always a job well done and we appreciate it! I would add we have had a variety of plumbing issues and all have been resolved. Would not hesitate to recommend!

I have been extremely impressed with the commitment to customer service at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. To be honest, I had a concern with an install - for this company their only concern was making me happy. The General Manager called me, resolved the issue and had someone out the next day taking care of our needs. Call this company, they are legit and are committed to their customers!

I haven't experienced their services beyond that, but 5 stars are more than deserved just how supported I felt talking with Tamara. She didn't sound like she was talking from a script and her answers did not sound canned at all. She took the time to address my specific situation, even asking the general manager to be sure.

Had an unexpected issue with my water heater and within an hour, someone was at my house working to replace my broken unit. Polite and quick.Definitely would consider again for my plumbing work needed in the future.
Sean did an awesome job and fixed our clogged sink drain on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend! Thank you and I strongly recommend them.
I would honestly only use Adam to come and fix issues at my house, he came in and fixed a problem and did it correctly. He is super professional, friendly and explains what he is doing while he is doing everything. Thank you Adam for an amazing job! We appreciate your help so much!
Derek Engle was incredible. Awesome service and knowledge.
Kim is a great technician! He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, professional, and pleasant!
Russ Sr. and Russ Jr. did a total replumb of our house. We had a slab leak and decided to replumb our whole house to avoid major construction costs on tearing up the slab to find the leak and patch it. Kevin Burden first came out to diagnose the problem. These guys did a great job and were very respectful, professional, and just down right great people. Having a slab leak sucks, but these guys made it better and less painful.
Had a toilet emergency and they showed up in about an hour after I called them. The repair was going to be costly so I decided to install a new toilet as it was only a couple hundred more. The installation went smoothly. I will use BF plumbing (Kim Knopp) for future plumbing and electrical needs.

Bill was professional through and through. He took a look at the issue and was able to determine it wasn't a plumbing issue and was able to get me the right people. He walked me through the process, where pipes were located, went in the attic and did a very through check to ensure no immediate issues, and let me know every step of the way what was going on. Thank you Bill!

Travis was great. He was able to quickly reinstall the dishwasher after the kitchen remodel. This is now the second time we've used Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and they've always done an amazing job. Thanks Travis!
My technician, Dennis Clair, could not have been any nicer, nor efficient, nor could he have had any better manners! He was very thorough, professional and extremely polite! He did a great job of explaining to me what he was checking and why! Ben Franklin Plumbing should be proud to have Dennis Clair on their team! Paul!He did a fine job and was very helpful!!
This is the second time we’ve used Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and we continue to be impressed with their customer service. They are extremely prompt and professional.

My plumber was Brandon, he called to let me know that he was on his way and gave me the proper time fame that he will arrive at my place of residence. When Brandon showed up I was surprised on how articulate he was and how he easily diagnose the issue I was having. Brandon wrote out opinions and explain each one thoroughly. After Brandon was finished explaining everything, I felt I was way more knowledgeable when it came to my plumbing system. Once I picked an option Brandon worked efficiently and explained step by step what he was doing to finish the job. Even though, the price was somewhat expensive I did not mind because I felt he truly know what he was doing. And 2 weeks later my plumbing has been the least of my concerns. I used ben Franklin Before and I was not that impressed but Brandon changed that. From now on, my plumber is Brandon...

Our experience with Benjamin Plumbing was extremely satisfying. After our home warranty sent us contact information for an unreliable plumber and then having them tell us it wouldn’t be until the next week before being able to send someone else out, despite being an ICU nurse on the Covid floor and 32 weeks pregnant with a 2 year old at home, Benjamin Plumbing went above and beyond and got someone sent out ASAP to ease our worries of a public health disaster for our family! Mike Fisher did an amazing job and we would definitely recommend this company!!!

I contacted four plumbers for quotes on a variety of work that ranged in complexity. Hands down, Anthony Allison's customer service, careful and thoughtful inspection of the issues, and same-day quote with three price ranges was the best experience.On the day of the work, Anthony and Cassey Beaver tackled everything on my list in the same day with great attitudes and a willingness to educate me so I could understand the problems and the solutions.I stayed at the house and watched the majority of the work. After seeing the complexity, I became even more grateful that I hired Anthony and Cassey. I don't think the other plumbers would have been able to fix the problems in the same day or at all, especially as two wanted to give quotes without seeing the property.Don't cheap out on your plumbers: Anthony and Cassey's work is worth every penny.
On time and courteous, Adam was very knowledgeable and explained the details of the failed thermostat and what he needed to do in the way of replacement parts to get us operational again. Plus double checking water temp. to make sure it was safe. And, as I requested, he also gave me detailed information and a qoute on a future instant hot water system. Thanks again Adam!

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was very responsive when I called and was able to offer same day service. When the job was not quite fixed completely the first time, the plumber came back with no problem, diagnosed and fixed the issue without additional payment! The plumber was professional and the person I spoke with in customer service was professional as well and handled my call with care and concern. I am completely satisfied!
My Technician (Anthony) was very knowledgeable and professional. He recognized an issue immediately and took steps to tear down my tankless water heater to diagnose the issue. After opening the unit, he confirmed the issue and took steps take out the part an clean it hoping it would resolve the issue. Upon re-installation, there still seemed to be an issue. At that point he took steps to reach out to the manufacturer for a replacement part (as the unit is still under warranty). He also provided additional procedures he was going to perform to ensure that this new part (fan and motor) was not ruined by falling debris from the vent tube in the attic and on the roof. I will be sure to always ask for Anthony if any other issues arise.
Travis was awesome. Professional, kept a clean work space; friendly/engaging and completed the quicker than I expected. Would use Ben Franlin again and specifically ask for him if more work is ever needed
Barry came out regarding an issue that arose from a very large job that was done a couple months ago. From the kind person who took my information to Barry's quick solution to the minor issue, I was very pleased. I wasn't charged because it was an oversight during installation and I didn't even have to ask if it was covered. It was. Barry was professional, friendly and efficient.
Kevin Burden provided top-notch support to identify the likely source of my plumbing issue and lay out options for resolution in a clear way that made sense to me. The plumbing issue was sort of complicated, and I had spoken to a couple other companies before finding Kevin, but he put in the time and effort to ensure I wouldn’t have to search any further for the support I needed.

I would definitely recommend this company!
Mike came quickly to fixa pipe that blew in the kitchen ceiling. He said it had to be in the wall but couldn't tell where The leak exactly was, recommended a leak detection firm that came 1st thing next dayThey quickly found the leak and Mike came back and did the repair. All efficient. It was expensive, but it was an emergency and got it done. Mike is great! But due to expense, i would shop around in non emergency.

Showed up on time as promised. Had some initial issues with fitting the heater into the space but they overcame those and got the job done. They did a few other small jobs for us while they were here onsite. The work looked good when they finished and they were the best priced company we found in Charlotte. We would use them again and would recommend them.
Mike arrived first and tried for a but it was not successful. Called for the camera truck so he could see into the drain. Andy arrived, got out the bigger machine and worked at it for about 20 minutes and succeeded. Second time I’ve used Ben Franklin and I will now make them my go to plumber. Thanks to both guys that arrived today! It was HOT ? outside!
We are so thankful for Mike from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. He came out on a Friday night, investigated our repair and had us working again within the hour. He also gave us advice and a referral for the water damage and secured the pipe to prevent further issues. Great job!

Stephen Barry Funderburk was fantastic. He looked over all the pipes with a fine tooth comb and found the problem. Barry also noticed and showed me where the water heater was about to rupture which would have flooded my basement with 50 gallons of water. Barry explained everything in detail about the job that needed to be done and not once did I feel that I was being charged for work that was not needed. Barry also arrived the day the installers Russ Sr. and Russ Jr. arrived, to do the repairs, to show them what all needed to be done. Russ Sr. and Russ Jr. were great, they did not waste anytime getting started on the job and worked the entire day with out breaks until the job was done . When they left they cleaned so well you could not even notice they were there. All three were nice and comfortable to be around.Thank you for everything Melissa Hedger
This was my second time using Benjamin Franklin and I will be back for a third time. They were able to schedule a plumber quickly and Joe gave me an advance call to let me know he was coming. Joe was obviously very skilled and not only helped me fix the problem with my sink, he talked to me about my sink so I will be more knowledgeable about my own appliances. He also answered other questions I had about my water heater. He talked to me about the membership plan as well. I would highly recommend Benjamin Franklin - Request Joe!!!
I contacted Benjamin Franklin through thumbtack and immediately they got right back to me. Bill is the guy that came out to diagnose the problem. This job is a very large job but Bill got right on it and contacted everyone that needed to be contacted. So far I have had a really good experience he was very efficient and professional. We are not finished with the job yet so we will be working together a little longer.Thank youKaren

I had a great experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. This is my 4th time using them for my plumbing needs and have been pleased with the work done every time. I had Kim and Russ at my house to install 3 toilets that I had purchased. I've had Kim do other plumbing installations at my home and have always had wonderful experience with him. Both Russ and Kim were super professional, kind and knowledgable. They worked hard to get the install right, even with the unexpected need to have to replace 2 flanges. They worked great together and answered all my questions. They were conscientious about doing a good job and for this I am so grateful. They ensured that I was happy with the end result. I will definitely use them again. Thank you Kim for always being a wealth of knowledge!
I had a major leak from a toilet. The whole team was of great assistance even when I was panicking. Same day I called the technician, Gary Tyler, came by my home. He was great and identified the issue very efficiently. I highly recommend Gary!!!
Russ did a fantastic job on the install of my new hot water heater... Being around the backside of the house, he had to work in the rain, without complaint, and got the job done. Punctual, professional and responsive.

He also explained how I can turn off the water or gas to my new tank. I get a nine year warranty that includes an annual inspection and flushing. I highly recommend this company for your plumbing needs.Randall Hartsell

I woke Saturday to find my bathroom covered in water. I called 3 places prior to Ben Franklin and was rudely treated. Then I called Ben Franklin and was talked to kindly with great understanding. Then the Gentleman came out to fix my problem. He could not have been nicer. He offered to fix my problem by replacing one part but I insisted on two. He was trying to be money conscious. He was informative and quick. I thought for sure on a Saturday I would pay a fortune but it was very reasonable. I have other issues that I will definitely call them to fix.
David and Russ Jr. were our technicians, they were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They kept us informed during the entire process and even notified us of a gas leak that could’ve gone bad. I’m so very appreciative of their hard work.

My rating is an average of acceptable work performed, and an awful sales experience in the beginning. I feel I was sold and charged for services that were not needed. As with many plumbing repairs, this was an emergency and stressful. I feel I was told worst case information with the purpose of greatly overselling the job. In the end, the job was simple as it appeared, and the expensive services were not even performed. I have the feeling that maybe the sales are commission based, although that is just a feeling. Let me emphasize that I do not know that to be true. Anyway, I will not use Ben Franklin next time I need a plumber.

It has been awhile since we have used Benjamin Franklin. But as always they are a great company with employees like Joe who are honest, professional and friendly. He took the time to really look at the problem and ended up saving us money by finding that it was something as simple as a leaking faucet and not a pipe. He could have easily done work that was not necessary and expensive but instead was up front and honest. We will definitely be using Benjamin Franklin again should an issue arise. Thank you Joe.

Mike was great, as have been all the techs from Benjamin Franklin and One Hour Heat & Air ( Charlotte, NC). He endured the extreme heat of the attic to get the job done properly and gave me sound advice as to prevent future clogs in our condensation line. And I didn’t feel like I was overcharged for the work. I will use them for all our plumbing, HVAC And electrical - it’s great to have it all covered by one company.
Anthony Allison of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is a consummate professional plumber. He was incredible. Anthony was able to detect our leak immediately. The reason this is astounding is because I called one of Charlotte's best rated plumbing companies to come out twice and they left both times unable to find it. Anthony is a beilliant master plumber who demonstrates leadership, integrity and I was extremely impressed with his knowledge of plumbing. I will refer Ben Franklin to all of my neighbors and will always consider them first should the need arise. Thank you again ANTHONY for your commitment to excellence.Regards,Y Gabriel and C. Butler

Normally I am very happy with the work performed by Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. The most recent time I have used them that was not the case.During the initial consultation for an outdoor water heater replacement due to leaking I voiced my concerns that the existing enclosure is not level (leaning away from the wall with a good 7-10 inch gap at the top between the aquahut and the wall).The sales rep that cam out to quote the job assured me that the underlying support pad would be leveled.Technician shows up the following day unaware of said promise. He was told to grab a few bricks (the general idea apparently being to shove those underneath the existing plastic support pad.This water heater had been leaking for several weeks, the bricks simply sinking into the ground.My expectation was for the water heater enclosure to be removed / the ground leveled (with the addition of some gravel due to it being soggy), the enclosure then being re-installed level and the new water heater installed.I was informed that they don't do anything other than install the water heater (so the sales rep lied to me).After sending the installer home I ended up running to my local home improvement store and spent the remainder of the day pouring a concrete pad on which the water heater was installed the following day.When I called the office to complain about the false promised made to me by the sales rep, I was told my concerns would be passed along and someone would reach out to address them.That was over two weeks ago. I haven't heard anything back since then.At this time I can not recommend this company, as they will lie, promising services they do not perform, then ignore you.
Always prompt and very good at identifying and fixing problem. Quote was spot on. Plumber was friendly and professional. Only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is they seem a bit pricey. However, worth the money to me because they’re there quickly and get the job done right the first time.

Mike Fisher has helped us out with faucets before. This time he provided maintenance for our water heater. He is very knowledgeable and provided good advice even though a new water heater is in our future. I will be happy to have him come back for future plumbing service, maybe even install a new water heater!

Ben Franklin Plumbing did an awesome job of replacing an old faulty gas hot water heater! Their response time to address my needs was short and amazing! I was very pleased with the skill exhibited by the installer, who was polite and professional! Afterwards, the gentleman from Ben Franklin Plumbing who came out to inspect the installation of the new hot water heater was equally as professional and thorough as the man who installed the new hot water tank. I highly recommend BEN FRANKLIN PLUMBING!!!

Thanks for a great job. they clean up their mess well. sometimes the estimated time frame varies on when he can do the work. but they do very good work. he sometimes might have a little difficulty fitting you into his schedule, but that is not a bad problem for a good plumber...
We had several plumbing issues and called for service. Casey Beaver came out and surveyed the issues and quoted us the best prices for each issue. Once we selected the option he went right to work correcting them. He was very professional. I would recommend him for any plumbing issues and will call and ask for him the next time we have a plumbing need. Great job Cassey and thank you so much.
They sent a guy right over and he was fast and efficient. Too bad we had to interrupt his Thanksgiving! Very professional. This is pur 3rd time using their services. We keep calling them when we need a plumber!
Pipe was leaking from a toilet upstairs, was fixed in no time and Dajzan was quick to fix it. Very professional as well.

I recently experienced a plumbing problem which required the complete replacement of my 51 year old cast iron plumbing throughout my house. Kim Knapp along with fellow Benjamin Franklin technicians Casey and Parker arrived promptly at 7:30 am and worked until 8:30 pm to successfully remedy my problem. They worked to make certain I would have complete functioning plumbing before they left so that I would not be inconvenienced. Kim has been my plumber for years and I find him to be the most knowledgeable, prompt, courteous and experienced plumber. I trust him with all my plumbing needs.
Jason is an excellent employee. He is very careful, tidy and informative. We are very pleased with our service.

Had a great experience today with Benjamin Franklin plumber Matthew Famularo. He was very polite, took off his shoes, gave me service options, was not pushy or tried the hard sell. He was very personable and I enjoyed talking with him. When I decided what work to have done, he did it efficiently and quickly and cleaned up after doing the job. Best experience I have had with a plumber. Ask for Matthew if you use Ben Franklin Plumbing!

Open 24 hours so I was able to call in last night and request an appointment first thing this morning. Dave was very thorough in explaining the problem and offering solutions, including pricing, up front so I could make the best decision. Thank you for quick, quality work!
Price was ridiculously high. They were prompt and efficient but my $200 toilet cost me o er $900 to be installed...about 30 minutes of work total.
Barry Funderburk did an awesome job! I was selling my house and needed some fixes following an inspection, he did a great job with issues I needed and touch up work at no extra cost. I passed my re-inspection with flying colors and closed on schedule. Thanks so much!

Mr. Bill Ferguson was very responsible and thoughtful. Kept me updated on his arrival and progress of the project. I would highly recommend Mr. Ferguson by name to do all and any plumbing projects that need to be done at my home. I whole heartily trust him and the job he does.
Kevin Burden was a great technician. Super kind and shared good, honest advice. I appreciate him taking the time to come out and walk me through some different options.
Kevin was great. Had tankless water heater flushed and Kevin explained service being done and patiently and clearly answered my questions. Price was less than half 3 other plumbers called. I would definitely recommend.
The visit from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing went very well. Alex called before he came. He arrived early about 8:30 am and I was relieved he got here early since I was on standby appointment. He did the diagnostic inspection and determined my problem was not a plumbing problem, but was related to my dryer vent. He referred me to a vent cleaning company and he stayed while I called them to back me up if needed . He also called Restoration One for me so I could get same day service from them. He was courteous, thorough and excellent. Well done, Alex.

Our technician David is very good at what he does. very experienced, professional, and efficient. The only problem is the cost of the work. $625 to replace a shower faucet that would not have taken 2 hours to complete. $312/hour? And I would still have been left with the need for a tile repair. I have had BFP a few times this year and the work is solid, but the rates should include some KY.

We experienced a severe kitchen sink drain failure last week. Ben Franklin came within 120 minutes of our service call late in the day. Although they worked diligently for over an hour the problem was not solvable without a full drain pipe replacement. They ( Chad, later joined by Gary) returned promptly the next day, gave me a full assessment and price for the work. After getting the supplies required, they completed the job before dinner time as we had been without the kitchen since late afternoon the prior day. Chad was both courteous and professional as was Gary. This kind of service is why we have been Ben Franklin customers for over ten years.
Bill Ferguson our technician was great! He was friendly, thorough, informative, direct and to the point. We will definitely be using them again!

Mike was a very nice, personable young man. He rectified the problem in about 15 minutes so now I have hot water in the shower1 However, I felt that $165.85 was a steep price to pay, especially since there was only a simple adjustment and no new parts. In addition, there wasn't Senior Citizen or Military discount.

I requested a main sewer line clogged service call from a house (their number pop up front on my mobile phone), after paying the initial $57 plus tax for the trip, I got a proposed service cost and I felt it was too high and plus not guarantee any result, decided not doing it. I am gladI found another company which does not charge trip fee and provide honest solution got it resolved second day. The two star was given just because for the same day service call. I was impressed by the clean professional dress and shining company van, but I was shocked by the proposed cost.
Kim, estimator, Benjamin Franklin employee, did a thorough and excellent job creating price quotes for tanked and tankless H20 heater. Explained the finer points of hot water systems based on his 20 or so years of experience and expertise.

I had a rental property with an old cast iron pipe leak and had to move the tenants out to do the repairs it was going to be a 3 day job that ended up taking a week and a half. One of the nights at 7:30 pm they were still working and locked them selfs out of the townhome. I was eating dinner and had to leave to go let them back in. And to mention the price to get this done was absolutely ridiculous. An absolute mess and don't recommend them to anyone who wants a hassle free experience.

We had a new washing machine installed on our second floor and when the guys attached the new hoses, our faucets started leaking due to old age. I didn't realize it until the next morning when there was a huge water spot on the ceiling in our foyer. I contacted Angie's List and found Benjamin Franklin in Pineville. Within an hour of requesting service, a technician named Joe called and told me he would be right over. Joe was awesome. He fixed the leaky faucets to my washing machine and left the work area clean. He was professional, courteous, and very personable. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin and specifically Joe!

All the technicians from Ben Franklin were very professional, and did a great job installing my new heater in a pretty tight part of my attic. Everyone was friendly and helpful from beginning to end of the whole process, and I would use them again for any plumbing services in the future.
They spent several hours locating and repairing a leak in faulty pipes on the interior of a home from the mid-1960s. They were clean, neat, efficient, and friendly. Their manager, Kim, reviewed the problem Thursday, spent two hours locating faulty pipes and old plumbing issues, and sent two service pros out today, David and Josh. They did an amazing job. Would hire them again.

$3500 for a atmospheric water heater was the quote given to my sister! Listen this company has no special water heater access. If your water heater goes out after 10 years replace it. Common sense goes a long way. Highly inflated prices and poor workmanship. Companies have people who watch and write fake reviews to keep ratings high. This company should be shut down ASAP. Are you really going to pay for a warranty that they know is garbage? In closing, I’ll say stay away because you have been warned! If you put lipstick on a pig it’s still a pig!!!!!

We use Benjamin Franklin for all our plumbing issues. They're fast, reliable and friendly. I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 because the price for a plumber to replace a rubber washer was $180. It's a bit pricey for a little piece of rubber.
We had our water heater fail and needed to get it replaced. We called for a quote and got a dispatcher that was not able to give us any pricing but said that the plumber would call when he was on his way and would be able to discuss pricing. When the plumber called, he told me that a replacement 40 gallon gas water heater would cost $2,329.00 for just the heater and installation was in additional. To say I was surprised would be an understatement as I can buy a 40 gallon gas water heater at Home Depot or Lowes for less than $600.00. I have no issue with a company making a fair profit, but a markup of almost 400% is beyond egregious and is far above other quotes that I received. This company is simply taking advantage of their customers and I will never call them again.

I would definitely recommend Jack and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and will certainly look to use them again for my plumbing needs.
David Siemietkowski was our service technician. He was on time, friendly, knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to take care of our inspection. He made sure he cleaned up after himself, got on his hands and knees to wipe up one tiny drop of water that was left on our floor. He went above the call of duty and every service tech should strive to be more like him.It also helped that he was tall, handsome and smelled lovely.
My dad is in his 80s and realized his hot water heater was not working so he called Benjamin Franklin plumbing and they sent Bill out right away.My dad suffers from asbestosis, resulting from years of hard labor, is on oxygen and having life-threatening complications in the last several months. He was given a quote to replace the hot water heater and agreed to the price given. They started the work immediately.My mom called me as soon as she realized the price my dad had agreed to with concern that they were being overcharged. I spoke to the dispatcher and Bill The technician at my parents house and got a detailed explanation of services planned and a receipt of exactly what they were doing and the charges Associated with each item.I called around to two other plumbing agencies and received quotes over the phone based on the information provided by Bill and both quotes were $1100 less Than Benjamin Franklin‘s quote including Taxes, inspections, bringing things up to code, and any other potential miscellaneous charges that may be needed.I explained to Bill that my dad’s lack of oxygen and the fact that he’s not feeling well impairs his ability to think clearly and exert himself more than five minutes causing him to make impulsive decisions just to get tasks completed. I explained that I was the power of attorney and I felt that the charges were excessive and inquired what I could do to make things fair as the work had already begun. I explain to him that I had already spoken to my dad who told me that he had already given Bill his permission to start the work and agree to the price and Did not want to go back on his word and moral integrity that that entails. But as power of attorney I feel the responsibility is mine to advocate on behalf of my dad so I continued on with my inquiries and pursuit of getting my parents a fair deal. Bill told me that I would need to speak to his manager as he had nothing to do with the prices.I left a message with the manager an hour ago and have not heard back. I called back to my parents and my dad has already paid and Bill was gone leaving two other technicians there to finish the job. I would like to think That the people at Benjamin Franklin plumbing are reasonable and compassionate people and despite the fact that they had already been paid would have enough integrity and moral principles themselves to make this right.Bills rationale for the difference in price Was the superior customer service that would be available to them if problems should arise. But in my opinion it doesn’t matter And for that matter I would hope for $3800 there would be no problems but if there were, for another thousand dollars, They could pay any plumber to come fix any problems that may occur and the money and decision should be parents choice to make how they handle, not paid in advance in case there’s problems?I wonder if the manager will call me back?

Cody was very professional and knowledgable. He checked out the issues I was having with my kitchen sink and garage disposal. Before he got started , he explained the issues and cost of repairs. He also recommended a better service bundle than the one I already had for future issue and repairs. He replaced my disposal and the leaking pipe underneath the sink in a timely manner. He also cleaned up his mess after the repairs, which is always appreciated.I highly recommend Cody and will request him next time I need repairs.
Well one thing is for sure, I don't recommend Benjamin Franklin plumbing. They came out to give me a quote on a repair and told me that they couldn't fix it and that the entire line needed to be replaced. The technician told me that they would have to run a new line because there is no way to know where the leak was. I was like, I am pretty sure it is where the water is bubbling up out of the ground. Well it was! Then when I initially called to setup my appointment they were sure to point out that I had a little over $3500 available on my home repair credit line. So I told them to give me a quote for the easiest repair. Of course the quote was for $3500 plus tax which was almost exactly what I had available on my credit line. I don't understand how you can price a job without figuring how much line you would need using a messuring wheel or something. At least pretend there is a method to figuring your quote and not just sit in the van. Funny thing is I fixed the leak myself for $37 and that included a new shovel and hack saw. Think they may have been looking for a fool to get some easy money but I am not that guy.
Anthony Benjamin Franklin tech arrived today to diagnose and repair a bath sink. He was friendly, outgoing and very professional. He explained the issue of a worn part needing to be replaced that was causing the leak.

Cassey and Russ (Jr.) called ahead and arrived within the time estimated. Did introductions (surprised to see my nephew), asked to see area the work was being done in and location of all electrical cutoffs. Then the two started to work getting the new water heater and water filter unit ready for install. They quickly and neatly removed the old water heater and in house filter out of the house and installed the new system. Checked all connections for leaks and any other issues. Cassey realized the unit was not working and realized the breaker was tripping, called the office for an electrician.After the boys left we noticed a leak from the old cutoff and called them and they came back and removed it. Cassey called to see if an electrician was in route, he was so he stayed to talk with him about the breaker. Matt arrived within a few minute and took care of the issue and all was on their way. Excellent job and Install looks great!!Thanks Cassey (grand-pa is smiling on you!), Russ and Matt!!!!

They gave me an estimate of 7500 to repair a leak!!! I called another plumber and he came and made the repair and said everything else looked good and charged me 200 for the repair. I called Benjamin Franklin back and the manager was supposed to call me back the same day and that has been more than 2 weeks ago and of course...no call back!!!! Huge difference between 7,500 dollars and 200 dollars!!!!! I hope you reading this didn't have the same experience!!!

After visiting the BIG BOX stores looking for water heaters and finding they were doing nothing more than sending a local plumber to my home to install their product, we dug deeper.Our plan was to call a couple of companies and take the lowest bid etc. Our first call was to Benjamin Franklin. Mike Buckley one of their plumbing experts came for the appraisal. Mike was very thorough as to explaining what would be required and additional options to upgrade our hot water system. After the explanation we agreed to the Ben Franklin quotation without further research.Mike showed up as promised two days later. The job was a challenge replacing two hot water tanks....in the attic...with outside temperatures near 95 degrees. But stayed the course! We also purchased a water treatment system. I guess its a bit too early to determine all of the improvements but the taste of tap water has improved...and chemical quality has improved to Bottled Water levels.I cant speak for all of the Benjamin Franklin plumbers but I cant say enough about the professionalism and courtesy exhibited by Mike Buckley.I have a couple of other small plumbing jobs and I now know who to call.

Our technician, Joe Moore, was great in assessing the problem and providing multiple options that we could take to resolve the issue. He came the next morning and completed the job in a timely fashion. I will be utilizing Joe and Benjamin Franklin for our future plumbing needs.
My water heater died Saturday night and I called them first thing Sunday. They were able to send someone out that morning to take a look at the situation. Quickly he realized it needed to be replaced and quoted me with 3 different options. After selecting he quickly went to work and put in a new unit and it looks and works amazing.

I am a single senior and have an older home. Water leaks are my nemesis and never an easy fix. I called Ben Franklin and was unable to get thru. Lo and behold, they returned my call without my even leaving a message! Great customer service. Jeff R. came out and took time to explain to me what needed to be done and assured me he would take care of the problem. Did a great job and even cleaned up! Wish there were more repair professionals like him! Prices are fair and reps are courteous and knowledgeable. I always call Ben Franklin. They have helped me many times . . . top notch asociates.
Check this place out with the Better Business Bureau before you hire them. You will see plenty of complaints. Look at Yelp too. They sent a guy who did not know how to fix my problem, then said he could send someone else for a crazy charge that was 30 times what it should have been. Then they sent a bill for a call charge. When I called to complain no one ever called me back and then they sent me to a collection agency. Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake. Very shady business.

Ismail called before coming to make sure it was a good time to come, that was before I got the text message from Benjamin Franklin. Ismail was on time and very courteous. I explained to him my problem and he immediate gave me a solution without running up my bill. His advice was spot on too as I replaced the toilet myself and our issue was solved. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the near future.

Anthony Allison was timely, courteous, and helped fix our plumbing issue in under 15 minutes. He was a pleasure to work with, and I will happily call him again in the future. Thank you, Anthony!
Cassey is the reason I use Benjamin Franklin. As long as he works there I will never look elsewhere and will recommend and refer friends.Update on review: I would recommend Benjamin Franklin any time. Paul Stefano, thanks for getting in on a call with me to help resolve my issue.You guys are super helpful.
Great experience with Benjamin Franklin! Joe Moore fixed a clog. Joe and his supervisor, Chad helped me understand what would be needed to install a water line from the city meter to my house. Friendly and knowledgeable! Would definitely call them again.

I called around 9am and had a pro at my home less than 3 hours later. Olivia at the office was very professional and helped me sign up for a service plan and let me choose when the pro would come out. Jim was very prompt and gave me a call to let me know he was on the way. I have been a customer of this company for many years and have always received the best service. I always mention Ben Franklin Plumbing if anyone says they are looking for a reliable plumber. Keep up the high standards and great work!!!
HOT WATER HEATER REPLACEMENTADAM came on time, early Sunday morning, with everything he needed to perform the Hot Water Heater Replacement. He had come the day before, Mask and all, and went over the entire job with us, including estimated cost and the various options.The man never stopped working, from the time he came to the time he left. By the way, I would not call this a typical replacement, since he had to pull all previous plumbing and work in a relatively cramped space.HE DID A GREAT JOB !! THANK YOU ADAM !!
Anthony has been to my home before to install a new garbagedisposal. When I had a problem with it, I called BF and Anthonycame out and fixed what was a very simple push of a button. Heis a really good guy as he did not make me feel stupid and he washere and gone in a split second. Would definitely call him again!!!!Thank you, Anthony.
I am still not able to get a straight answer from anyone at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing about this issue.I have been renovating houses in the Charlotte area for the past few years. We are not a huge company, but we do a few houses each year and on this particular house, we needed a plumbing company to quote moving bathtub pipping. I spoke to a tech who was going to be the technician coming out to quote this plumbing job. I let him know I wouldn’t be able to meet him at the property but I gave him the lockbox code. The tech went to the house, but I didn't receive a quote or call afterwards. I heard nothing back from the tech that came or anyone from the office. Then, I was completely blindsided by a collections agency. They were claiming about $100 more was due than what I agreed to over the initial quote scheduling call. Bonita Mullins was who I first spoke to, she had a aggravated tone it seemed each time. She said I had to talk to a supervisor and I was given Paul Stephano. I was able to speak to Paul, and he last said that he would look into in and give me a call back. However, we are about 3 weeks from that call and I haven't heard back. For me, the dollar amount is not as important as the principal of conducting good business. I feel like I’ve been treated like small potatoes, and even though I don’t rehab or build 100 homes per year I should still get the courtesy of receiving a quote or at least a discussion of what work was needed.Edit 6/16/20: This was not a one time thing. I spoke to both Paul and Bonita again and Paul made it seem like he never spoke to me. Bonita would say are you going to pay and soon after hung up on me. I am not aggressive, but will speak on what I believe in. I can definitively say this was the worst customer team I've ever encountered in Charlotte.
Response was prompt and at the time promised. All personnel I dealt with were pleasant and positive both on the phone and Dave who came out. Call fee was reasonable.

Despite the weirdness of our current Covid environment, our visit with Anthony was relatively normal, even pleasant. Anthony arrived masked and gloved, standing well back from the porch so he could tip his mask so we could see his face, explaining what he was doing to protect us from infection. He went about his work in an orderly and proficient manner, explaining the problems and our repair options and costs so we could make an appropriate decision. He managed to remain aware of infection control throughout, while still maintaining entertaining conversation about North Carolina, FJ Cruisers, and family.As we are in the Covid vulnerable population, we appreciated his carefulness and delighted in the opportunity to chat. You will be glad to meet him too!

Stephen Funderburk provided a clear explanation of why my plumbing problem existed. He also explained possible remedies. He gave me an estimate of the costs before job began. I appreciate that he did a pre-inspection check and corrected things that might present problems during inspection. He is professional and courteous. Cleans up after work.
Travis was amazingly patient and amazingly knowledgeable about installing my toilet. He was respectful of the property and friendly to me and my new puppy. Highly recommend using Benjamin Franklin and especially Travis!!

I was extremely pleased with the customer service and the equipment I received. First and foremost, I was called right back when I initially called and left a message with the receptionist. I was given an appointment the next day. The plumber/technician, Kim Knop, was on time and I was called ahead of time to let me know he was on his way. I was told exactly what the issues were and never felt pressured into buying anything. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I ended up getting a new water filtration system and a tankless water heater. The work that was done looked very professional and very neat. They even swept up afterwards. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin for any plumbing problems you may be experiencing or if you have any heating or A/C issues.
Ismel came out to look at a leak in our downstairs dining room coming from our upstairs shower. After looking at it he was able to determine where the leak was coming from and provided us with 3 estimates in order to choose the best option for us. He was very knowledgeable and personable!
Mike was on time and professional. Fixed our problem with all due haste and had our water back on quick. He had to go find the part given it was a unique assembly but he did find it and came back immediately. Nothing like running water again.

I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Tim Herms was called out on a Sunday evening and got to my home quickly. He had all the equipment he needed to check out the problem and just as quickly gave us the answers we needed. He then took the time to explain our options for getting the job done. He was friendly and efficient with his work. He arrived on Monday to do the job and explained how everything was going to go and the job was done. Very happy with Tim and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Will be recommending this company and Tim to my family and friends.

These guys will try and rip you off. Quoted me $500 to replace a thermocouple in a hot water heater and $7500 to install a basic tankless water heater. I replaced the thermocouple for $10 and it took 15 mins and York County Gas quoted me $3400 for a new tankless water heater w/installation. Save your money and go somewhere else

Quick response time paired with friendly, honest, professional, and upstanding service. I had a leaky shower repaired and the insides of a toilet replaced. Work was done quickly, and NO mess was left behind. I'd highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and especially Mike Buckley! :)
Ned N with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was very professional. He offered my wife and I suggestions and different options to best fit our needs. We are very pleased pleased with Ned and Ben Franklin Plumbing
Very disappointed in the service we received with this company. While looking online at choices of good local plumbers, we decided to go with this company because they said they honored military by offering discounts. The receptionist on the phone told me the service would cost us $57 and that would include the tech coming out and figuring out the problem with our tankless hot water heater. When the tech arrived he told me that it would cost $320 dollars just for him to look at it, which wasn't discusssd on the phone the day before with the receptionist. We weren't comfortable paying $320 dollars just for him to look at it. We said no thanks and then we were charged a $57 service fee when absolutely nothing was done. And when asked if we could at least receive our military discount, we were told that the military discount doesn't cover the service fee. I also called the company when the tech left to tell them how disappointed we were that the $320 fee just to assess the hot water heater was not discussed the day before when we made the appointment, I was told that there was nothing they could do about it. We will never use this company again, and we will also be advising our family, friends and anyone in our local community NOT to use this company. Sincerely, a very disappointed military wife.
Italo gave great service experience with a no stress expert quote that allowed us to make the best decision.

My water heater sprang a leak and I needed help in a hurry. Joe explained what was needed and did a great job installing the new system. Very prompt, polite and helpful service. Highly recommended.

We had a leaky spicket on our water heater, and a technician came to evaluate our options for repair. He was friendly and customer-oriented, and described our options for repair of the spicket and replacement of the water heater. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience. I gave four stars because he missed a suggestion for a quick fix - putting a cap on the leaky faucet, which we needed because we'll be remodeling our house in 6 months.

What I appreciated about Derek was that he walked me through every step of what he was doing and even informed me about a few things regarding pipes, the water system, and plumbing. He seemed thorough looking for the water leak, and found it hidden behind some things I had in the room where the boiler and a/c unit is located (a place I didn't even think of!). What I especially like is the 4 or 5 options he listed on a company form and there various prices and explained to me each option. I picked an option and thought he would need to come back another day to do it...but, nope, Derek spent the entire same day installing a water pressure figamajid and a filtration system. The next day I called Derek because my water pressure was low and he walked through on how to fix it and, so far, things seem to be good.

Travis did a great job.
I had Benjamin Franklin (BF) of Charlotte install a tankless water heater with a circulation pump to maintain hot water at faucets in 2012. I was very happy with the install at the time and the system worked very well until a couple of month ago when the circulation system failed. I called BF to troubleshoot the system when I was told the plumbing is wrong and needed to be changed.First of, BF installed it originally and second it worked for all these years. So I was very skeptical about changing the original plumbing. As a result BF sent another technician out to replace the pressure relief valve and the accumulator. $1,600 later I still did not have hot water at the faucet. I was told plumbing had to be changed for $800 and possibly a new pump for $500.I went online, bought a new pump motor for $180, replaced it, problem fixed. Never heard another word from BF. Very disappointing!

I called Ben Franklin after another plumbing company quoted me nearly $5,000 to clear a drain. Michael showed up and said all we needed to do was snake it. He cleared the blockage, and $230 later, we were good. He was very nice, informative and cared about his and his company’s reputation. Have found a plumber for life!
We have not agreed to work yet, but Dave was so professional and answered all of our questions. He was great to deal with.
They did an amazing job time wise of getting to the house as soon as I needed help. He gave me all the facts and didn’t push me into making a decision. He completed the work in a timely fashion.
I heard a radio ad for Benjamin Franklin plumbing that said “we will come to your house and unclog any drain for $99”. When I got home I looked at their website and the ad is prominently placed on their website. I called, they took all of my information and scheduled an appointment and then told me that in addition to the $99 that there was a $77 service fee. This is totally misleading and in conflict with the radio ad. I told them that I was not going to pay more than $99. The person put me on hold, came back online and told me a service manager would be in touch but wanted to go ahead and schedule the appointment anyway which I did.The appointment was scheduled for the next morning. Did not receive a call from my service manager but at 730 that morning I did receive a call from someone who only identified herself as “Jennifer” who called to say that she was very sorry but there drain cleaning machine was broken and they needed to cancel the appointment.Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is one of the largest plumbing contractors in the city of Charlotte. They do work 24 hours a day seven days a week. I would not be surprised if they have at least 50 or 75 trucks on the road on any given day. I find it ridiculous that they would need to cancel my appointment because there are drain cleaning machine was broken. This is dishonest. They have not removed the drain cleaning special from their website and this is not a business that I feel will provide you with honest information and service at a good price.Additionally, because I didn’t believe what I was told. I called posing as someone in my neighborhood a couple streets away and set an appointment for a drain cleaning today. They did disclose there was a service fee but today it was only $57.Instead of dealing honestly with their misinformation in their ads they chose to lie to me about their ability to provide service. If you like to do business with liars then feel free to use them.
Anthony was able to find the problem and guide us to the next step.

I went on home advisor to locate a plumber to fix the flush valve on one toilet. Of all the companies the site offered Benjamin Franklin called me to schedule an appt. This was fine as the scheduler offered to waive the fee for them to come out if I could be available all day (they would fit me in between scheduled appointments). I said no and she changed her tune to a window of 1 to 5. I agreed and received a call from the technician when he was on his way.Now I had read the reviews on this company and excited about getting quality service. The technician arrived as promised and assessed the matter as I outlined and I threw in snaking my drains, as my tubs were at that moment slightly clogged.We sat at my table as he wrote out the quote. The next thing I recall was him handing me the quote and begin to explain to me what needed to be done and the costs associated with the work.To fix the flush valve would cost me $453, this included draining the tank, changing the valve and ring, and changing the bolts holding the tank on the bowl. Huh, say what, on one toilet.Then to snake both tubs and two bathroom sinks would cost me $797, and the cost would go down to $225 if I only wanted one tub done. Huh, say what!My solution, $6.99 on Draino for both tubs, they are now clog free.Went to home depot and purchased a valve for $9.99 and my dad visiting from out of state who was a maintenance engineer for years, put in on in about 5 minutes; toilet flushing like new.Moral of my story, I paid about $20 and didnt get totally screwed by this company.

We had a sink back up just prior Christmas festivities.They were quick to respond with professionalism and determination to complete the project in a timely manner. Bart Smith was very diligent determining the problem and seeking the solution and completing the project. He was professional and unclogged and re-ran the drain system within the day.
Was 2 hours late. Had to pay service (after I wasn't suppose too) technician didn't care about what he was doing. Sent 3 different invoices. (Never received the correct one) Staff was very inadequate. Never got a follow up from upper management. Then blamed me for miscommunication. I had one of the most Worst experience I could of had. I wished I had never went thru Homeadvisor. Next step is the BBB.Update: I needed the correct invoice 6 days ago. This was for the sale of a home. Which was told at the beginning and thru and at the end of my conversation with your staff. I have had to go rounds with the realtor for 3 days trying to explain what your company didn't do. You dont buy tickets to go somewhere that day, and recieve them 6 days later. Then conveniently your notes are saying you fixed the issue. I'm so very disappointed and will never call or recommend your company.Plus, I never was told till 15 mins ago after I wrote this review that you were sending any refund.How convenient... where is the $ 5 for every minute your late ( up to $300 ) at?

Water damage from a hole in the cast iron pipe under the washer. Water logged carpet.... I called Benjamin Franklin and Jim D. arrived within a couple of hours to assess the water problem. Jim spent a whole day in the small washer/dryer closet off the hallway. He had to jackhammer through the concrete slab to get to the joint in the pipe where the hole was. Concrete, dirt piling up and Jim on his knees for hours. He certainly has a good sense of humor about such a nasty job. He is very knowledgeable and I couldn't be more pleased with the work he did.I also used Ben Franklin a couple of years ago to replace a water heater and put in a water filtration system. Very happy with those installations, too.Good quality products, great service and customer satisfaction... Call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing today!
Gary with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was great to work with, communicating the root cause of the issue and how we can help avoid the problem moving forward. He also installed some new faucets for us and was on-time for multiple appointments, making it easy to plan around while working from home.

Russ & Partner did an awesome job! We appreciate your business!?
Terrible experience! We called the day prior and had scheduled a service call. Girl took down information and told us a tech would be there and call 30 minutes prior on the next day. Told us the service fee was $57 and they would then tell us what the issue was... service tech arrived thinking it was a tank water heater, we have a tankless... he did absolutely nothing to the system and just asked questions. No hands on and no help whatsoever... he then proceeded to tell my wife $320 just to look at the system... this was not discussed on the phone! ABSOLUTELY terrible he walked out the door charging my wife $57 for a uneducated conversation! This is unacceptable... my wife called after the tech left and they said nothing they could do about it! I’m glad I wasn’t home for the bill because this is uncalled for to charge for ZERO service... I would have been glad to take you to the gas station and put your $5 in your tank for both yours and my wasted time. I feel like they took advantage of my wife... as a service member i will NEVER use or refer this terrible service again! Thanks for nothing

I just wanted to send a note to tell you how AWESOME this company is. First, you guys totally saved the day when I needed a service call. The tech that came out to my house was great, efficient and explained everything to me very well. He explained the Club Membership program to me and I decided to enroll. I literally just got off the phone at 11:05pm to schedule my annual system flush/maintenance. How cool is it that I can truly call and speak with a live person this time of night?! Way Cool. Then, I just talked to the friendliest guy ever. His name is Tavares (my apologies if I spelled it wrong). He was so nice and helpful that I couldn't help but to smile the entire time. To receive that level of service this time of night is truly amazing. I am very thankful that I called you guys in my time of need and I will happily tell anyone that asks to call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Kudos for a job well done.

Travis Blanton of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing as been more than outstanding in providing exceptional service. I called the company due to an emergency sewer back up at my property recently. From the moment Travis arrived until the work was completed, he showed nothing but reassurance, and walked me through each step of the process. Additionally, Travis took the time out to continually check in on me until the work was completed. After the service was completed he followed up to make sure all issues were left unchecked.
He was awesome. The damage was extensive and he helped us by setting us up with an adjuster to get the homeowner's claim going. Great guy, great service.
Ben Franklin was hired by our HOA to fix a water leak underneath the slab of our townhome. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago. The first repair indicated that they needed to go further under the slab because there was a second leak. They fixed the leaks and proceeded to leave the outside pipe closed off with a “Shark Bite” connection because it was late in the day. THIS IS NOT WHAT THEY VERBALLY DISCUSSED WHEN THE REPAIR WAS INITIATED BY ADAM. We were assured that it would be put back in the way it was PROMISED as to not have to worry about it again. We patiently waited the 2 1/2 weeks for them to return only to find out that they were NOT going to sweat on a new fitting but just to leave the “Shark Bite” on, fill in the hole (filled with muddy water) place a plumbing box in the ground around the fitting and clean out. A lid was placed on top and they left.Dishonest, lack of Character and Integrity. Don’t be fooled‼️

He arrived when he said he would, checked out our situation and explained everything clearly. He fixed the kitchen sink without complication, and left no mess behind. We had an additional problem with a shower, he was unable to fix it that night but came back the next day and fixed it.It is rare that I have had as smooth an experience with a repair in our home.I would gladly recommend Cody at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.

Everything was explained and easily understood including the costs of my different options. I would be very happy to work with Cody again should the need arise.
Beware!!! If only there were a negative 10 rating that could be given to this company. After a questionable service call, I called and asked the “customer service” rep for a detailed and itemized receipt. The invoice showed a $272 water thermostat for what should have been a $28 wire. I called back at least 7 times to have the charge verified, reconciled, etc...each time there was a promise that Paul or someone else would look into and get back to me. More calls and a month goes by, I sent a complaint into the Better Business Bureau and sent a certified letter as legal proceeding seemed to be in the future. To date, this matter has not been fully reconciled. Avoid this company at all cost.

Travis was great to work with and got us back up and running in no time.
Great responsiveness to my call for help when our water heater started leaking. Dave showed up on time, dressed professionally, quickly identified the problem and provided a solution.

Joe, Thomas, and the rest of the team at Benjamin Franklin did a great job replacing all of my plumbing for me. They were extremely courteous and efficient, making sure to clean up afterwards even! I really appreciate all of their hard work and will only be using them from now on!
Anthony Allison was very professional and friendly. I feel he did a fantastic job repairing a sink and toilet. These two items have been an ongoing issue in 2 different bathrooms and the problems have now been resolved.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Anthony.
Will actively avoid Benjmain Franklin Plumbing for the rest of my life and will warn others of this company.---Had Bill Ferguson to replace the toilet seal in the bathroom. While he did complete the job and we've had no leaks since the replace, his attitude was surprisingly short and temperamental for meeting with us the first time. He was insistent on using his own parts, even though they didn't fit or were something he personally didn't use. For example, he tried fitting his own PVC flange when the one prior to his service perfectly well and he insisted on using two wax seals (rather than one larger seal or the Sani Waxless seal that was on top of the original PVC flange). When I made the point that I was more comfortable using the seal I had previously, he became argumentative with me and said he would prefer the two wax seals and that the non-wax seal wasn't used by BF and he doesn't know much about them. I personally thought it was a plumber's job to know about plumbing products. He told me that if we used that seal and it leaks it was on you. The whole job was not backed-up by a warranty, but I still disagreed with that logic given that he worked on it. After he was finished, he pointed out a drop of water (half-inch diameter) beneath the water supply to the toilet and claimed that I would need to call BF and get someone to service that. I've never seen a leak like that before since we had moved in, I told him, but that we would keep an eye on it.It has been as dry as a bone since then, which makes me think he was pulling my leg and trying to squeeze more money out of me, more than the $400 for a toilet seal replacement. I understand Bill and the company have a priority to make money but if you see someone who is a college student, driving a car that's almost a quarter of a century old, and claim they aren't interested in having more unnecessary work done due to extremely high costs, then you do not try to squeeze more money out of them. That was the last straw for me and which led me to type this review. The only thing Bill offered me was a 6-month warranty on the wax seal. All this is why I sternly believe there has to be a better plumbing service than BFs in Charlotte and why I think people should avoid them at all costs.
I had a great experience with BF Plumbing. I got a new hot water heater and they also fixed a leaky shut off value. Adam and David were awesome!
The service and quality of work was great. It was a hard to get to place to make the repair with very little crawl space room but Stephen did a good job. The only thing is you guys are very expensive. I'm only given 4 stars because of cost.

Kim did an excellent job running a water line to our fridge. He went above and beyond. Excellent quality. He’s the only one we would call with plumbing or gas problems.
First, I LOVE Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!! We've been customers for years and have never been disappointed by the service received. :-) This is the first time I've met Drew. He was very professional, honest about what the problem was and fixed it quickly. A+++ for Drew !! :-)
My water main leading to the house started leaking. They sent me Mike Buckley to the rescue. At first I thought it was a water line leading to my sprinkler system. Mike spent the time convincing me (very nicely and professionally) it was my main water line. It was getting to be 8:30 or 9 at night and I asked when could you start and he said in the morning. The next day my water line was fixed. Let me tell you, it was no simple task to install a water main at my house. I have a circular wall and driveway they had to figure out how to get under it and they did. I even liked the excavating and trenching guys very helpful and never gave up. This same company replaced my hot water heater a couple of years back. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.

Joe Moore from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Charlotte did right by me! They were hear within and hour and half of my call, fixed the leak in my crawl space in no time and referred me to a restoration company to fix the water damage that called me within 15 minutes to set an appointment for a free evaluation! Thanks Joe! It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Had Pete come to my house for just a simple problem. He not only took care of the problem(drain clog), he recommended what might be happening and possible ways to resolve the issue. He was courteous and very friendly. Went above what was expected and made my wife very happy. This is the second time that I have called this company and have not been disappointed. If I have to call again, Pete would be on the top of the list of personnel that I would want to come to my house. Thanks again to Ben Franklin Plumbing, Pete is one of the employees that keep business' like this going.

Joe was awesome. Did a great job and provided me with some options and sound advice on a tricky install of my shower faucet. Absolutley would recommend him to anyone looking for a great plumber!
I found BFP over the weekend when a backed up drain line from my washing machine need emergency services. Adam Wahl was my plumber and I couldn't be happier. He fixed my clog and gave an inspection of my hot water tank. It was on the list of things needing replacement and there was improper plumbing work done when that tank was installed (previous owner, i swear). Adam took the time to walk me through the entire quote to replace, re-plumb, and get up to code the new water tank. I also upgraded and got a home filtration system, highly recommend. The full job was done in a day and his supervisor came the following day to inspect the work.Overall, BFP may not be the cheapest option but you get quality employees and quality work. I would say ask for Adam for any plumbing jobs requiring some thinking, he knows the local codes and can work with older homes (mine is a '60s ranch). Their work is guaranteed and comes with a warranty.

Over the course of a year, we have hand Benjamin Franklin come out and help with a number of oddities and upgrades. They are professional and courteous. Mr. Kim Knopp is here so much my kids wanted to write good morning kim in sidewalk chalk.
Had an issue in bathroom with toilet and plumbing that was not installed correctly when the house was built. Mike Buckley spent time to show me what all the builders plumber had done wrong when the house was built 11 year ago. He went the extra mile and repaired the problem and set everything up. His work was very excellent and done very timely and with care and pride for my house.Butch Bigham
Needed a shower valve and hardware replaced. Call BFP on Friday and Joe arrive promptly Saturday morning. He explained various options to me and then replaced the necessary parts. Joe was always friendly, courteous and professional. Very pleased with his work

Bryant arrived in a timely manner, not a pushy salesman, went over all options and gave proposals for us to look over. A couple things needed tested and those were ran efficiently and the documents needed were provided to us.
100% recommend. Would not suggest going anywhere else. It took Adam 2 days to fix something that another company couldn't do in 2 weeks! If I can help it, I'll never go anywhere else for plumbing problems. And I'll always be looking for Adam!
The gentleman was on time, professional & polite. Very nice & competent young man!
I have been dealing with this company for a couple of years now. Anytime I need them to come out and take a look or to fix something they are willing and prompt. I am very pleased with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing they stand by their work. All of their employees are courteous. Kim Knopp is who I all always ask for. He shows that he cares and let you know that anytime there is a problem to call him. Thank you Kim for your customer service.From Robin Lee
The service guy was awesome, fun, knowledgeable, and corrected my problem with my gas logs and went the extra mile to make sure it was clean and the work area was very clean when he left. It was a great experience.
Our house flooded during the cold weather in January. We live out of state and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was recommended to us. They took care of our problem quickly and with the efficiency and care they would give to their own home. Our service guy, Adam, went above and beyond to help us through this whole ordeal. I give them 10 gold stars!!!
Avoid this company. My GC referred them to install a new outdoor sink The guy shows up to give out an estimate. Few minutes later he comes up with a bill for a trip charge and a time charge but no estimate. Don't be fooled by these guys ads. They never mentioned about any charges for estimate though they called me 4 times to confirm the appointment and the guy never provided any estimate of the work till now..
Adam and Andre were a good team for replacing an old cast iron drain pipe beneath our kitchen. Adam was prompt, he told us what he would have to do and what it would cost. He is knowledgeable and a good communicator.
I called Ben Franklin to get a quote when my hot water heater stopped working. They were fast efficient and extremely helpful. Travis explained everything thoroughly and was extremely helpful

I'm an architect and landlord. Insanely overpriced estimate. Costs were added to estimate to entice one to fulfill said estimate with the promise of rebate once the work was done. I got the work done for less that 25% of the price quoted. Poor business model. Stay away. Use Morris Jenkins instead.

Very good service. He did a good job. He installed a new water filter
price was not my top concern, I wanted a professional company in MY HOME. That is exactly what I got and I'm impressed with the follow up from them. They didn't take my money and run, after the very qualified tech left, a field inspector came by and doubled checked everything to make sure it was right.
Kevin did a great job on replacing our outdoor hose bib. He offered options and was really knowledgeable about the problem. Overall a great experience!
I needed a hot water heater replaced the Saturday before Christmas with family heading into town. The guys at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing were on-time, professional and got the job done within 12 hours of calling in. The pricing is fair and understandable and they offered several options. Jason Clavey did an amazing job and got it done fast. I would highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to anyone that wants straight, honest and professional service!
Anthony Allison did a great job unclogging our kitchen sink drain. He was very professional. Absolutely will request him if there is a future need.
Ive had Pete the Plumber provide service several times, very pleasant and informative and thorough when it came to diagnostics and solving my issues. Due to his efforts and professionalism i will always stay a customer with Ben Franklin and feel as though he is my personal plumber... Highly recommend you ask for Pete The Plumber
Adam Wahl did a great job and was super fast. Very pleasant and wore proper PPE. Even was so kind as to not mention that he could clearly smell what one of my cats just left in their freshly cleaned litter box...
I called Benjamin Franklin because our drain pipe is knocking when hot water drained from the tub due to the drain pipe passing through a tight hole in a stud or floor joist. In order to fix this we suspected it would either require some sort of insulation around the pipe or possibly notching out a bigger opening so that the pipe didn’t rub against the subfloor; both of which being seemingly simple fixes. To our surprise we were quoted $1400 which we immediately rejected.To add insult to injury, Kim offered to do a free in home water test and told us that our levels of chlorine and Chloramine were “dangerously high” ( 3ppm) and suggested a whole home water filtration. I told him that if the water levels were that “dangerous” I’d be contacting our local county water authority to advise them of Benjamin Franklin findings and confirm with them what are acceptable levels within tap water before investing thousands of dollars on a filtration system.Before the appt was over, he then tried to sell us a maintenance plan and tried to discuss pricing as well as the importance of filling out a survey after his visit.This is the first and last time we’ll ever use Benjamin Franklin. We were charged $59 for a company to come out and provide us with an extremely overpriced estimate and then try to sell us maintenance plans and water filtration systems. I felt like we had paid to attend a timeshare presentation rather than having a plumber come to our home and are quite insulted by this whole experience. It’s bad enough that they charge you $59 to provide an estimate but then having to sit through a high pressure sales tactic after you reject the quote makes matters worse. The amount of pressure to sell services, products and score high in a survey is evident and personally feel like it impacts their ability to do the basic requirements of their job; fixing plumbing issues at a reasonable price.Benjamin Franklin should be ashamed of themselves.

Joe Moore was respectful, punctual, courteous, and provided the necessary information to me as he worked to resolve the plumbing issue. He provided information regarding the ongoing process as necessary, while worked the repair/problem. Before his departure, he informed me of additional information regarding what he had encountered in clearing the line and in options for additional care and maintenance.

We have a film studio in an older building. So we have a flow of customers and guests in and out. We started having trouble with our toilet. Thomas came out, responded quickly, and resolved our problem. But better yet, he investigated and discovered the true cause of our problem. Now we know how to proceed in the future and this has saved us money on our bottom line. We have become lifetime customers.
I am very disappointed with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. My office was having trouble with the toilet and called this company. The technician snaked the toilet and told us that he sent out 100 feet of snake to the septic tank and the line was full of roots. He quoted a price to remove the roots. He also presented several other things that we needed to do for the toilet to work. We got tired of hearing all of the things that needed to be done and paid him $700. The next day another plumber ran a camera from the toilet to the septic tank. I watch the camera go 20 feet (not 100) to the septic. There were also no roots in the line. Total crooks. I talked to the manager and he was not interested. Will never use them again.
We have had some serious plumbing problems since the first of the year and Ben Franklin Plumbing has handled the situation very professionally; particularly working with Cassey. Cassey has been very thorough looking into the problems and explaining the situations. We feel very confident with his knowledge and work, as well as being very friendly and courteous. We will definitely call Cassey for any future problems. It's always nice to have a plumber you can trust and who takes pride in his workmanship.

I had a dishwasher pipe bust late Sunday night at a property I own in south Charlotte. I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Monday around 9am and by 2pm they had everything fixed. they arrived when they said they would and were very professional during their visit. One thing I appreciated was they had a chart that outlined all the prices so there were no questions or upcharges after the work was started. I will use them again and will recommend them to friends and family who are local.

Got onsite quick, however they tried to unclog line for a little over an hour, charged $800, then told me the line would need demoed into the sales floor. I sent other plumber out who cleared line in a little over an hour for $500 bucks. Office manager did not return call either
Bill Ferguson of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charlotte just completed an initial visit to inspect my hot water heater. He was professional, timely, efficient, personable, engaging and informative. I look forward to working with him on this project and others in the future.
BUYERS BEWARE.I called Benjamin Franklin to replace my Water Heater and Sump Pump. What a fool I was. Their quote was for $2,711. I told them I had to get a second opinion and they charged me $49 for the service call.I got the work done with another plumnber with comparable equipment for $1,300.After such a disparity between the Ben Franklin Quote and my actual installation, I asked for my $49 back.I didn't really expect them to give me my $49 back and of course they did not.I spoke cordially with the General Manager who made it clear he would not refund me. It was obvious he could care less about customer service and would rather have his plumbers charge an arm and leg to some sucker than keep an honest customer happy.They are all about MONEY and nothing else. Stay away from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing.BUYERS BEWARE
I have used them twice before as well. This however was a broken pipe inder the slab of my home. Ismail was nothing less than outstanding in helping find it and locate the issue and repair it with minimal disruption to my home. Highly recommend them and Ismail for tour plumbing needs

We’ve always had excellent service with Benjamin Franklin. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable plumbing company. We tried a different company and had a terrible experience. We called Benjamin Franklin to come fix their mess. We’ll never use anyone else.

Mike Bradley came by to replace a hot water heater system. I had questions about the tankless option. I found him to be very well versed in all of the options. He dedicated the entire day to reworking the system for a tankless heater. I found him to be hard working and very knowledgeable about the job. Everything from start to finish was professional and friendly.
Very hesitant about calling a national chain plumbing company. My fears were relieved because they got a plumber to me within 30 minutes! What a lifesaver when your outdoor hose bib connection fails inside the wall. Eric was great! Offered several options for repair and was very friendly. Finished the job quickly and honored an online promotion, no fuss. It was probably a little more expensive than the local neighborhood plumber, but less damage to my home due to the quick response. Worth every penny.
I was very disappointed. Instead of offering to fix the broken pieces of my toilet, the plumber only offered two options: 1. Purchase a $2,000 carbon filter and get a free toilet or 2. Rebuild the toilet for $500. Instead, I watched two 3 minute videos on YouTube, purchased the parts at Lowe's for <$100, and fixed it myself in less than 1 hour. I have no plumbing experience at all. Why was I not offered the option of replacing these broken parts?
Jack was professional both in appearance and how he conducted his business. He was prompt, efficient and very thorough. He even did some minor things related to the problem he fixed that I would not have known to ask for. I would definitely recommend Jack and I will request him if I need service in the future. Thanks Jack!

I scheduled an AM appointment (specific times are not an option) for Tuesday, March 28th. Since I had an AM appointment, I decided to just stay home since I was told I would be the first appointment of the day. At 10:52am I got a call saying my technician was having car trouble, but that he would be on the way. That is nearly 3 hours into the AM window! How am I the first appointment, but 3 hours have passed and this is when I was contacted about this? I let that slide, since AM would technically be anything before noon. At 12:00 I decided that I had been held up in my home long enough. I gave the office a call at 12:03 to cancel my appointment. No one was there to answer the phone. At 12:25 I got a call from the technician letting me know he was ON his way. I informed him that I had an AM appointment. He nonchalantly asked if I was canceling my appointment. I told him that I was not necessarily canceling it, but that he was a NO SHOW on an AM window. The website says you get $5 for every minute that they are late. I will see if I get a check for $125 or more if I could have held out any longer! However, something tells me that that check would probably not show up at all!

Drew went above and beyond to help me when we had a problem with our water heater. He made phone calls to the manufacturer, and would not leave until we had resolution. I give the highest marks for his service all.
We had a small plumbing need and Benjamin Franklin was super responsive, sending over a plumber out the same day. Adam was professional and efficient and resolved the issue quickly. Thank you!
Had an estimate done. They were able to come out the same day I called.
Kevin was on time, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Looking forward to doing business with them.
Had Ben Franklin out to quote a hot water heater repair. All that was needed was a simple part. The tech quoted over $600 for the repair. I promptly told him no thanks. The second company I called came out, replaced the part and the total for parts and labor was less than $200.00. So I basically wasted $60 on a service call for a Ben Franklin tech to either have no clue what he was doing or attempt to rip me off.
