My first review (below) was in late 2023. Google reviews doesnt allow additional reviews but suggests editing the original review. Heres my more recent review:
February 2025: The other evening after dealing with water on the kitchen floor from what I thought was a leak behind the dishwasher, I sent an email to Franklin Plumbing and Drain Cleaning. I added that the garbage disposal kept stalling and that I had a question about a sink in the master bathroom and asked if they could look at those, also.What a surprise to get an email in response that evening instead of the next morning! Sonia called me the next morning and scheduled Jantonio (aka Tony) to arrive between 11am and 1pm and kept me informed about his arrival with texts. He arrived just before 11 and checked things out. Dishwasher wasnt the problem. It was the disposal, which leaked when the dishwasher discharged water through it. Tony replaced the disposal and left the area spotless. He and the others from Franklin Plumbing were great to work with and worth every penny!
2023: Water backed up into the master bathroom and sewage into the tub. Franklin Plumbing sent Jantonio who arrived only a few hours after my call. He went about identifying the problem and then fixed it. He certainly knows what he's doing! The service was worth every penny!

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.

Franklin Plumbing is top dog in our book. We called for a leaking toilet valve from Fairfield County, and they were here within 40-45 minutes. That's pretty outstanding. Their rep, Elias, could not have been more informative, pleasant, or professional. We are so happy with their performance and pricing.

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.

From the first phone call to the completed project I experienced professionalism and promptness. The Technician was courteous and explained every phase clearly. He was prepared and completed the project efficiently. There were no hidden fees or charges and the site was left clean and in excellent working condition. I am beyond pleased with the service. Could not recommend more highly!

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.
