Benjamin Franklin Plumbing

About us

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is a family owned and operated plumbing company servicing Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Davenport, and Waterloo- and all areas in between. We offer 24 hour emergency service and your phone call will always be answered by a live person. Each of our technicians is background checked and drug tested to insure that we are sending safe individuals into your home. When they arrive, they will always be dressed in a clean uniform with a tucked-in shirt and will put shoe covers on over their boots before coming into your home. They are also sure to clean up any messes that may be created during a repair. Our technicians will arrive in a full stocked truck when they come to your home for a repair. This allows them to complete almost any job without having to "run out to get parts". It also gives them the benefit of being able to look each concern over, give you all of your options, and give you straight forward pricing for each option- all before they begin their work. This is to help you make an informed decision on how you would like them to proceed. We always try to the best of our ability to work with your schedule when booking an appointment, and in most areas we offer extended business hours during the week and do have appointments available on the weekends (including Sundays). Call today to schedule your plumbing repair, and mention you saw us on Angie's List to receive a $25 repair discount.

Had a leak under my sink so I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. They came out and spent 45 minutes start to finish (including diagnosis), took out one metal pipe and replaced it with PVC. They charged me $329.03 for 45 minutes of labor and a few PVC pipes. Then sat in my driveway for the next 40 minutes on their phones until about 5:30pm. The work done was fine, but the prices for the time spent and materials is extreme. Will not be calling Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for any future needs.

The plumber and his intern were punctual, but was in my home for about an hour and did work that could have been done in 20 minutes at the most. Discovered he didn't have the right equipment to get around the pipes and so left without unclogging the sink - and still charged me full price! Spent more time chatting with me than dealing with the problem. Constantly sending his intern out to the truck to get something. Didn't even bring in a bucket so was going to use mine - didn't have the correct tool to change the bit on the end of the snake, so used mine. Just infuriating that after all that, they still charged me. Roto Rooter came and worked for an hour and a half for almost 1/2 the price of this company! I called to complain about the bill and no one ever called back to discuss. Will NEVER call this company again, and I did use them in the past.
