    10/10 would recommend! Wife and I had just moved into a new place in Ames, and needed a whole new kitchen sink drain. The team and individuals at Ben Franklin are amazing, professional, and very patient and kind. They show up on time, and take care to answer any questions. Also, Im pretty sure they left my basement cleaner than when they got here. If you are still reading this, just one question, why havent you called them yet?! You wont be disappointed!!

    The whole process start to finish, call to task completion was incredibly efficient. Chris explained the issue clearly, and the issue was resolved quickly. The area was honestly left in better condition than when they got here. I was very impressed with the professionalism and will definitely use them again. Efficiency 10; Communication 10; Customer Service 10Overall 10/10 would highly recommend!

    Chris was very polite, professional and did a very thorough job. I received an annual inspection of my plumbing system through their club membership program and feel reassured about my homesā€™ continued maintenance. I also received an estimate for the replacement of my heat tape and was well satisfied with the cost. I highly recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing Of Ames.UPDATE: Chris N. Came to replace my heat tape and I couldnā€™t be happier. As Iā€™ve said before, Chris is very polite and Professional and I appreciate his expertise. The job was done quickly, cleanup was absolutely thorough and the price was spot on with the estimate I was givenā€¦. Actually, even better! It is so good to have that confident feeling that things are in good working order with your home. I have worked with Ben Franklin since coming to Iowa and I will continue to work with them going forward. I highly recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to everyone in need competent and skilled plumbing professionals.

    I am not located in Ames, but my property which needed some work done is in Ames. Josh clarified the repairs I asked to be completed and he kept me informed of the work he completed. Josh worked quickly and efficiently. Most of the work he was doing was fixing someone elses mistakes. We asked Josh to take a look at something else we needed his expertise on and he said it is working well at this time and did not need to be replaced at this time. More importantly, he gave us an estimate for what the repairs will cost us when we need them to be done in the future. I highly recommend Josh and Ben Franklin Plumbing of Ames.

    Chris had a tough job, getting the rough opening for our new walk-in shower just right. Some of it was finely detailed work that took him several hours. He did a great job, and it contributed to giving us a new shower that we could not be happier with.

    Paige came to my house to fix two things on a toilet and something with my washing machine. She was very kind, courteous and professional. She answered my questions and was great, even when I interrupted her work to ask her stuff. Shes good at her job and if I were her boss, she would definitely be a valued employee. We even had a conversation about eating healthy food before she left, since we discovered that were both into clean, preservative-free eating. Haha anyway Paige is great at what she does and seems to be a great person

  • Review 9 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    Nato did an awesome job! He fixed the leak in our bath tub & got the hose off our outside water spigot. Very professional & friendly!

  • Review 10 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    After struggling for close to a week to get other plumbers to come check out my water heater, Benjamin Franklin got a technician to my house in under an hour after calling. Chris and Josh went above and beyond service expectations and replaced my water heater in just a couple of hours. The pricing was fair, any the technicians were friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get work done in their home.

  • Review 11 (2024-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommend for all plumbing needs. Our tech was Paige. She was friendly, courteous andknowledgeable and repaired and replaced everything in record time.Will use again if needed.

  • Review 12 (2024-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    We have been using Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Ames before we built our current house. They did all the plumbing, heating and air conditioning maintenance for our house when it was built in 1994.We have only had two bad experiences, quite a long time ago. But, two bad experience in 10,950 days is a pretty solid reputation.The staff and technicians are always friendly and super helpful. They even installed all of our new kitchen appliances when we remodeled.I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are fair and honest, something you dont always experience in this day and age.

  • Review 13 (2024-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    Nolan came earlier than scheduled because he was done with a job early. He was professional, hard working and positive. I always have great service from Benjamin Franklin and Nolan is one of the best

  • Review 14 (2024-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    He was great. Notification that he was on the way. Protected our floor by covering his shoes. We only had one problem; tub drain had enough hair in it to slowdown the draining. He had me come up to see it so that I would know to clean it out more often. He was very courteous.

  • Review 15 (2021-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    I have used Ben Franklin for as long as the company has been in Ames. When I had a major repair a few years ago- installing new water service - Chris was part of the team. He made what might have been a bad experience into one that was as pleasant and efficient as it could have been. I have asked for him to be my plumber ever since. He is skilled, efficient, and unfailingly positive. Yesterday he installed a new sink and faucet in my new home, and gave me good advice on dealing with fixtures in the house Ill need to maintain. Hes terrific!

    Nolan came out to fix the running water in my touchless faucet at the kitchen sink (the batteries were dead,) low pressure in the master bathroom (the faucet will need replacement at a later date,) and disconnecting the touchless feature on the public bathroom. He was polite, efficient, and did an excellent job. Thank-you Nolan!

    We have been a customer of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing (BFP) of Ames, IA for many years because they have always done an excellent job in a timely and very profession manner to take care of different plumbing issues at our home! We value BJP plumbing staffs evaluation and expertise in completing every plumbing task to our 100% satisfaction! This week we had Paige Petersen updated multiple shutoff valves, installed a new bathroom shower valve with a new cartridge, and a new faucet. She did a fantastic job worth five stars or more! BJP is our go to plumbing service and we highly recommend them for their plumbing services!!!

  • Review 22 (2024-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    Nolan went right to work and solved the problem between the house and street. He used a camera which gave me valuable insight to both the problem, and the condition of our sewer line. In addition, Nolan recommended a product to help with our root problem. He quickly fixed the trouble we had, and was very courteous and professional. This was money well spent.

  • Review 23 (2024-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    As always, Ben Franklin was prompt and efficient! Billing is clear and detailed! Great company to do business with!!!

    Chris did an amazing job! He went right to work and was very kind. Also found a shut off valve issue during my dishwasher install and fixed it for me. Iā€™m glad I called Benjamin Franklin because Loweā€™s would not have been able to fix that.The only company I trust for my plumbing , heating and cooling needs. They do an awesome job and are able to get me in and work with my schedule. Definitely recommended them! :)

  • Review 27 (2024-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    Nolan came out on a Sunday to fix our leaky shower. He was fast and punctual. Very respectful and showed us exactly what he did after. Was very upfront about the estimate which did not change which is nice. Was able to give me a price over the phone before coming out which was the bill and that was very nice. Very good job would use their services again

  • Review 28 (2024-08-29 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 30 (2024-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    We recently experienced a plumbing emergency in our home when a sump pump failed during a severe storm and rain event. My wife and I were bailing water trying to prevent our basement from flooding when we called Ben Franklin Plumbing. The service they provided and in particular our plumber, Logan, was outstanding and saved us money, time, and a couple of very sore backs!ā€¢ Timeliness: Loganā€™s response time was outstanding. Despite it being in a storm event, the company let us know when we could expect Logan literally within hours of the call. This rapid response was crucial in preventing further water damage to the property.ā€¢ Communication: Throughout the emergency, Logan maintained excellent communication, keeping us informed of his progress and any changes in the estimated time or cost. This communication was reassuring during the event.ā€¢ Follow-Up: After the initial repair was completed, Logan followed up that night(!) to ensure the repair was OK during a second round of storms. This level of customer service is, again, outstanding. We couldnā€™t recommend them more for any plumbing service needs your family may have!

  • Review 31 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    Josh P did a fantastic job (we had a shower valve replacement, kitchen faucet replacement, some other annoying leaks, and an estimate for a new tankless water heater). He was really professional and courteous, gave me great info about what the needs were, and was upfront about the costs involved, which were all very reasonable in my view. I was impressed at how quickly and neatly the work was done. My wife and I both commented that we have always had excellent service and quality work done by Benjamin Franklin in Ames. Thanks Josh!

  • Review 32 (2024-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    Ben Franklin replaced my shower valve on a holiday, showing up within an hour of calling. The work was done quickly, politely, and professionally at a reasonable price

  • Review 33 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 5)

    Fast, professional, with reasonable pricing for what was done (exterior faucet and water line run to fridge). Would use again.

  • Review 34 (2024-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    This is my 3rd time using Benjamin Franklin and everytime, the service has been Outstanding. He was able to pinpoint the problem right away and didnt charge an arm and leg for the repair. While performing the service we hired him for, he found a leak we were not even aware of and fixed it on the spot saving us money and other repairs from damage that we would have had to have done down the road. He was a very friendly and extremely knowledgeable young man. I will recommend them to anyone needing a good plumber and we plan to use them in the near future for some other preventative plumbing issues.

  • Review 35 (2024-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    We were in a 12-2 time slot, and Josh arrived shortly after 12. We explained to him what was happening (leak from bathtub spout), and he gave us the estimate on what the cost would be. He also replaced our shower head. We were very pleased with his fast, efficient service and his explanation of what was done.

    I am a commercial property manager in Ames- Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Ames came out to resolve a complex issue related to our septic and plumbing system.

  • Review 40 (2024-03-07 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 43 (2024-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    Always wonderful to work with and very transparent. They made me aware of my options and if one choice could potentially lead to more work being necessary than initially planned. I really appreciate how clear they are and their quality work!

  • Review 44 (2024-02-06 - Rating: 5)

    I was very pleased with Chris Novakā€™s work. I had been sent a text to advise he was on his way, which is very useful so I could secure my German Shepherd dog before he arrived.On arrival, Chris went right to work and after completing the job, advised me of the results of the test and answered all my questions. Thanks!

  • Review 45 (2023-11-28 - Rating: 4)

    Work and cost explained in advance. He had to go back and get an unusual part so it took longer than expected. The billing was accidentally done incorrectly but he immediately explained error and it was fixed. Left area cleaned up. Took off one star for the billing hassle. Felt prices reasonable and competitive. Also the company responded quickly to my initial phone call. One company never did call me back at all. So yes I would call them again.

    The technician was informed and friendly. He was prompt and was diligent while doing his job. Even though he had to go twice to get parts that were necessary to complete the job, we were pleased with the results as we ordered two extra tall toilets that were not the common size. We will certainly use this business again. Benjamin Franklin plumber was recommended to us by friends who told us the same qualities that we found that pleased us also.

  • Review 57 (2024-04-04 - Rating: 5)

    They were able to come out quickly the same day, and the technician was able to clear our gray water drain and replace our water main valve. Josh was kind and understanding, as this has been a very stressful time for us.

  • Review 64 (2023-08-23 - Rating: 5)

    Jordan did a fantastic Job! The price was super Expensive because it only took like 15 20 minutes. I think it was like 400 dollars we had to pay. I think your prices should be lower for easy jobs.

    I cannot comment on price compared to others, but their service has been great. When we had a late evening emergency they were the only plumber we could get ahold of and we are very thankful for Ben Franklin. He answered all of our questions and solved the problem. 3 months later we had the full tree root treatment and the 2 men were 45 min early and very kind, efficient, and also answered all the questions we had. Definitely recommend!

    We noticed a leak late in the evening and within 30 Chris showed up. He was very informative over the phone giving us our options and discussing potential issues. Once he got here he fixed the issue in a reasonable amount of time. He answered all our questions and did not make us feel rushed. He came back the next day when he was able to get the last remaining parts to finish the job. I would highly recommend Chris for any service issues.

  • Review 71 (2023-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    Very informative, patient with me asking questions, very nice personality and was concerned about not tracking through the house. Chris wore the little booties of his work boots.

    Our water tank died in the middle of a snowstorm and we were left with no water in the morning. They sent out a plumber to us within 2 hours, and by noon, everything was fixed! We got a new water heater (yowch, but water heaters are always expensive), and everything is fantastic. Josh did an amazing job with installation, and he was just very professional and very nice. He also showed us how to use it, and explained everything. I highly recommend, and will use them again!

Thank you, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, for your speedy and considerate service!

    Nolan made quick work of a bad situation. he was quick and efficient in replacing the water heater. Kind, and a nice kid. The darn water heater weighed more than him! But he maneuvered it like a pro. Do what you got to do to keep Nolan at One Hour!

    Jordan did a great job getting the water on and draining. It is hard to find companies that work on mobile homes. Very happy with the job and price was reasonable. Already planning summer projects with Benjamin Franklin.

    Nato Santos was amazing! The company was responsive - on a holiday (02Jan23) as we had water backing up into our basement. He did some pipe surgery and located and removed a blockage that was at least 130 feet out. Amazing service, amazing know-how. Great guy, great job.

  • Review 94 (2023-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    Everything you could ask for - punctual, friendly, and competent. He explained what needed to be done and how much it would cost before he started and cleaned up when he was done. Great work.

    Chris has always been very professional when coming out to my home. This time I had issues with my sink which was not flowing water. I also had him finish installing my dishwasher and figured out the issue with the grange disposal. When Chris comes out you can expect the best service.

    Had an issue that was not taken care of by another drain company and decided to go another route. Ben Franklin sent Nato out within an hour and he was able to diagnose the problem and even walked me through his thoughts and what he was seeing. He let me know the price of everything he was doing before he did it and gave me options on how he could fix the clog. All around great service. I will definitely be using Ben Franklin going forward.

    Called in the early afternoon to fix our toilet, Logan W arrived less then a couple hours later. He made sure it was working again, and was done quickly.

    I never imagined that having our sewer issue fixed would be such a pleasant experience. Melissa in the office was great, she made setting an appointment super easy and was able to send someone the same day. I love that they send you a text when the technician is on their way and even include a picture. What a nice touch. Chris was amazing from start to finish. He explained everything, gave us the cost up front and kept us updated as he went along. He took the time to answer all of our questions and even fixed a dripping faucet that he noticed. I highly recommend Ben Franklin and will never call anyone else!

    I am absolutely amazed at how great of an experience I had with them this morning. I sent an email this morning asking for an appointment and received a phone call shortly after they opened. I was told they might be able to squeeze me in late this afternoon but well set up the soonest available appt which was a couple days out. About an hour later I received a call back saying that they could be to my home within the hour! Scott was extremely knowledgeable and had our leaky pipe fixed within a half hour. Based on the responsiveness, professionalism and quality of work Ben Franklin will be who I go to for any issues in the future.Thank you Scott!

    After every issue weā€™ve had (oh, the joys of owning a home!), we are always so happy that we called Benjamin Franklin. Everyone that they have sent over has been great. Today, Dustin helped us with a problem with a floor drain in our basement/funky smell. Not only did he know exactly what the issue was & how to fix it (within seconds of looking at it), he took his time to look at everything thoroughly & made sure there would be no more issues when he left. He patiently answered all of the questions we had about the drain issue, as well as some questions we had about our water heater. Iā€™m sure heā€™s heard the same questions over & over - he was a saint through it all! He is always honest & real, which we love. And he doesnā€™t mind the kiddoā€™s running around, or slightly messy home. We would recommend this company to anyone looking for a job done well, by punctual, knowledgeable, honest, friendly people.

  • Review 119 (2020-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Happily surprised me by coming a week earlier than scheduled because they had a cancellation and could fit me in. Dustin B was very professional and completed the job efficiently. I also very much appreciated that he wore a mask and booties over his shoes. He shared upfront what the cost would be and there were no surprises. Also, his work came with a 2 year warranty should any issues come up with the repair. Very happy with his work and how accommodating they were to fit me in! (The job was to replace the washer hookups as they were old and leaking.)

    The technician arrived about an hour after the time scheduled. It would have been nice if someone called to say he was delayed. I had to call to see where he was at. The technician was very polite and explained everything. We needed a new sump pump. However, the price was very high. $69 trip charge from Ames to Nevada is high as was the cost of the sump pump. Total install was over $500.

    While I asked for the first appointment of the day, punctuality was nearly a given. Todays visit was a check-up rather than a repair.

    Kitchen sink suddenly clogged up at 6pm. Disassembled and plunged and couldnā€™t clear it. Called Ben Franklin plumbing and received call back from NATO within 20-30 minutes detailing approximate cost and arrival time. Then got a text with his picture saying he was on his way. He was polite and friendly and wore shoe covers. Had the sink unclogged within thirty minutes and checked for leaks. Price was a little high but it was after hours. Hope Nato gets more when heā€™s out at night . Prompt friendly service. Hope I donā€™t have to use them but if I do I would without hesitation.

    Nato Santos installed 2nd water meter, new lines, and a backflow preventer for our irrigation system we were getting installed the following week. Very thoughtful on his placement of new lines and routing through basement as well as backflow preventer location outside. He was extremely professional and timely. The updates by text was appreciated as well. Wish the rest of the house matched his work. Would use again and have recommended this company to friends thinking of doing the same. Not the cheapest quote we received, but they were definitely worth it and will be our go to for future projects.

    Josh cleaned the washing machine drain that probably should have occurred in June 2022 when the same leak occurred but instead new shutoff valves to my upstairs washing machine were installed which at the time may have been part of my problem but a thorough drain cleaning at that time did not occur. Josh was very thorough and knowledgeable about what was going on with my upstairs washing machine drain and a test load of water showed no sign of a leak in my basement.

    I have used Ben Franklin in the past for remodel work and have always had great experiences. This time we had an emergency that left us without water until a repair could be done. The office receptionist was very friendly (Kendra? Kiera?) and Josue was fast, friendly and professional. Ben Franklin gives pricing options up front, and I have never had a surprise bill at the end. I have had 4-5 different Ben Franklin technicians with our various projects, and all have been professional (appearance, demeanor, no use of foul language, etc). Highly recommend.

    Scott showed up on time and was very mindful of our home. Because of the snow Scott wore boots in our home. He explained what he thought the problem was and the best solution before starting any work. He was very friendly and was easy to visit with. Upon completion of the job he cleaned everything up and took all the old parts with him to dispose. I would highly recommend Scott and Benjamin Franklin for all your plumbing needs.

    Iā€™ve used Ben Franklin with several rental houses in Ames.... from simple drain unclogging to complete plumbing remodels including adding a new bathroom in one of my houses. They are very thorough and professional. They show up on time and communicate great throughout the process. This time I called to have them unplug a drain and they were there 30 minutes after I called late on a Friday afternoon. Well done!

    Excellent service. Quick and professional. Josh is a great guy and took the time to explain what he was doing and gave a few tips for maintaining the system overall. Will call again.

    A Sunday call answered right away. Logan was at our home in 15 minutes. Did the task, plus problem solved to help prevent future issues. I called 4 others w/o reply.100% satisfied with the work. Priced a bit more than others, yet I am willing to pay for experienced skill and service!

    Chris came and worked on my drain. I have used this company before and have had Chris every time. He is professional, polite, and explains what he is doing or what he did either during or after he is complete. I would definitely recommend Chris and Benjamin Franklin for service.

    I have a service contract with Benjamin Franklin. This was my annual full house check. One of my faucets had low water pressure, Dustin cleaned out the pipe and replaced shutoff valve. Now I have excellent pressure and was happy to hear there was no charge. I will continue my service contract with them and have all my plumbing work done by Benjamin Franklin. Highly recommend!

    A large water leak developed at an old elbow joint between copper and steel piping in the basement. The service technician (Chris) surveyed the problem, described the best way to repair it, and carried out the repair quickly. He also did a similar repair at a second location involving a complicated 3D copper/steel pipe joining geometry that was slightly leaking and likely to fail in the future. Both repairs together with an estimate for a possible future water heater replacement were completed in under an hour. I was very pleased with all aspects of the work and with Chriss knowledge and friendly demeanor.

    Josue knew what he was doing, was tidy, efficient, and quick. Put in a new disposal and faucet - had to go back to the shop to get a faucet that fit but was pretty fast. Explained how to tinker with the disposal in case of blockage.

    I always call Ben Franklin. They are pleasant and work with you. When my plumber arrived, I showed him what I saw this morning and he told me what he was going to do to find the problem. It was not as bad as what I expected! I was pleased with his work and with his personality. I definitely will use them again.

    I found Scott to be very knowledgeable and explained everything about replacing the sump pump and had the cost on his tablet, he also talked about having a battery operated backup system installed also. Also said that since we are in winter and probably wont be getting heavy rains that I could wait until February for installation of which ever product I chose.
