"I had a very difficult drain clog. James worked patiently, diligently and methodically to solve the problem. Twice it looked like we were licked, but James kept at it and got the job done. Acme should be very proud to have a plumber of Jame's caliber on their team."

"Hired them to replace kitchen faucet that was leaking. I attempted myself but space too small for me. Called Benjamin Franklin and they were out that afternoon to finish install. They had to take out drain to get the faucet installed but held at the original price quoted on the initial phone call"

The man was pleasant and I think the work he did was ok. I am not happy that he didn't fix the icemaker. He told my husband a part was stripped and what part to get. Of course, we can't find the part. The store sold us a different kind of filter that may or may not work. That is the exact same thing that happened with a different plumber when I wanted a shut off valve installed on the icemaker in the house. I had to call him back to install the valve because I couldn't keep it from leaking.


I think the pricing is horrible but if people tell me it's reasonable, I could change my mind.

There was an 89.00 trip charge (we knew this) and the address of the business is within a mile or two.

Installing the faucet that I supplied was 228.00

Installing and supplying the hoses and faucets in laundry room was 328.00.

They did direct us to a coupon on the internet that saved us $50.00 so out total was $595.00.

They tried to sell a service plan...if we bought the plan, our cost would be lowered but to me that means guaranteed spending not saving...I'm not a fan of those. If I had done business with them for a while and really trusted them, I might consider something like that.

I have a few problems with this....

1) I think the cost is high

2) If I wanted to fix the icemaker myself I wouldn't have called a plumber. I think many people in America have icemakers and would think plumbers should have parts to take care of them.

3) Don't offer me a service plan when you just charged me a ton and didn't complete all I asked for.

I don't think these things were the fault of the individual plumber and if he had his own business at reasonable cost (and fixed my icemaker), I would have been happy.

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. 

To prevent clogs, get yourself:

  • A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. 

  • Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.

  • Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.

P.S.: If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain.

In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.

While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.

To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.
