We understand how critical properly functioning sewer lines are, which is why Franklin Plumbing & Drain Cleaning offers dependable repair services. Our process begins with a careful inspection to locate the source of the problem. We then carry out targeted repairs that restore flow, extend system life, and protect against costly future breakdowns. 
Our water line repair services are designed to restore your plumbing systems safety and efficiency. At Franklin Plumbing & Drain Cleaning, trained professionals assess problems quickly, using proven techniques for accurate results. We make sure repairs are durable, prevent recurring issues, and help protect your property. Trust our team to maintain reliable water access without unnecessary stress or delays. 
Franklin Plumbing & Drain Cleaning offers dependable gas line repair designed to keep your system running securely. We know that even minor gas leaks can create serious hazards, which is why our technicians respond with precision and care. Every repair is carried out with professionalism, ensuring lasting results and safeguarding your households well-being. 
Franklin Plumbing & Drain Cleaning is committed to keeping your drains free of clogs and operating smoothly. Signs such as bad odors, slow movement, or unusual sounds often indicate the need for cleaning. Our services prevent further issues and extend the life of your drains. Count on us for prompt, professional care that safeguards your plumbing system. 
Franklin Plumbing & Drain Cleaning provides complete water heater services to keep your home running smoothly. From diagnosing issues to completing necessary repairs or full replacements, our skilled plumbers are committed to dependable results. We combine expertise with outstanding customer service to ensure your water heater remains safe, reliable, and efficient throughout its lifespan. 
Hydro jetting is our proven approach for clearing pipes of stubborn obstructions. Using powerful water jets, the method removes grease, roots, and mineral deposits that compromise water flow. Unlike temporary fixes, hydro jetting ensures pipe interiors are thoroughly cleaned, which reduces future risks and helps maintain optimal performance across both residential and commercial plumbing systems. 
A small leak left unchecked can lead to major, cascading problems. What starts as a small drip can escalate into an expensive, complex issue that involves structural repairs, mold remediation, increased water bills, and even health hazards. The cost of fixing a minor leak early is much lower than the cost of repairing the damage that could result from leaving it unchecked. It's always worth addressing even the smallest leaks as soon as you notice them. 
Our professional team specializes in sump pump installation and repair to protect homes from moisture and flooding. We carefully evaluate water flow and choose the right pump for each situation. Installation includes setting the pump on a gravel base, connecting the discharge pipe, and adjusting the float switch for efficient automatic operation, ensuring reliable performance.

This technician explained everything he was doing, his findings which included a photo from the camera he used in the sewer line, and what needed to be done in a thorough and professional manner. His findings confirmed my suspicions that my daughter and I were taken advantage by Roto-Rooter in Columbia and bilked out of thousands of dollars and the problem was never fixed! Tree roots in a sewer line are not a "soft blockage." Consumers beware of Roto-Rooter!

I called for a water heater outage at 0630 and got a call back from the company promptly saying that a tech would be coming by before lunch. Mr. Bessey called me when he was on the way and was there at 0930. He arrived on time, was extremely polite and respectful when he came in to my home and started his assessment and repair work. He was quick and proficient and was in and out in less than an hour, leaving his work site neater than when he found it. He even called a few hours later as a follow up to see if the issue has been resolved to my satisfaction. He was extremely professional and I will certainly recommend him and/or Franklin Plumbing for jobs with my neighbors. Thank you, Lawrence!

We have recently used Franklin Plumbing for several major repairs. We had two different people do the work: Eli Ramirez and Alexander Reyes. Both of these guys were well trained, knew what they were doing, very polite and kind. The company is quick to respond and get your work done. I cannot tell you how much we appreciated what they have done and would most definitely recommend Franklin for any plumbing needs you may have.

I called them to repair a leak under the kitchen sink. Two days later the leak was still there. I called again on a Sunday morning to tell them it wasnt fixed. Nobody called back for 2.5 hours. I called another company which came out and fixed the problem. The owner from Franklin pumbing called back and apologized and refunded my money. He even called again the next day to see if there was anythiing else they could do.They did a great job of making things right. Thank you. I would call them again as they take pride in addressing things.

We called Franklin Plumbing based on ratings and reviews and couldnt have been happier with their promptness and professionalism. Our water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. Our technician, Eli, came out, assessed the whole house, and replaced the unit on the same day. We had a second unit that needed to be replaced and he took care of that as well. Eli was very knowledgeable, thorough, polite, and extremely hard-working. Hes an exceptional young man. We highly recommend Franklin Plumbing.

My experience with Franklin Plumbing & Drain Cleaning was excellent. Scheduling with Kimberly was easy and pleasant. JC Hollis arrived on time and quickly identified the problems causing the leak in my bathroom. He was friendly and professional. He explained everything thoroughly, provided me with options for the repairs, and finished promptly. I would not hesitate to recommend them or contact them again if needed.

Jantonio saves the day!! Our main waterline was damaged during another companys repair process, and had to be cut and rerouted due the age and condition of the pipe.
Jantonio quickly assessed the best way to repair the damage with the least amount of work and cost involved. His work was quick and flawless and we are beyond grateful for him and the entire team at Franklin Plumbing!
