JC was on time, courteous and very professional. Answered all of my questions clearly. Worked extremely diligently to provide me top notch service. Even overlooked my failed attempts to make the repair myself. Highly, highly recommend Franklin Plumbing

Alexander really seems to enjoy his work. He's professional, knowledgable, and thinks through the problem at hand, checking all possibilities, before deciding on a course of action. An impressive young man.

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!

As always, Franklin Plumbing did an awesome job for us. Thank you so much!

Franklins service is fantastic. I have not had to use them too often but they have always responded to my calls in a timely manner. Their technicians are knowledgeable and thorough. The work they are doing for me is at a very reasonable price.

Great job, fast service and Jantico was knowledgeable and so nice! Will call Franklin Plumbing again!

Jantonio did an great job fixing a broken drain under the house. The job required cutting into the foundation slab and he was extra cautious in minimizing that jackhamming to make the cosmetic fix as easy as possible afterwards. Would recommend

Awesome!!!!! Jc was very knowledgeable of what problem was and took to explain to me the problem and how to fix it. (Pictures). Very patient

My tub/shower was leaking. Franklin Plumbing sent somebody out in a couple of hours. Mr. Pinckney showed up on time and proceeded to diagnose the problem. He showed me pictures of everything that he saw and explained In detail why he thought it was better to replace the entire faucet than to try to repair it. After the job was done, I was very happy that I went with his recommendation. He was very courteous the entire time he was at my house and very respectful of my property. Nobody likes spending money on Plumbing repairs, but if I need to do that, I would happily call Franklin Plumbing again. The person in the office setting up the appointment, I believe her name was Sonja, was very courteous and did a good job getting me help in a couple of hours. The plumber was friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Franklin Plumbing.

Great job by Toni. Fast, efficient and professional service. Highly recommend both he and Franklin for any of your future Plumbing needs.

Another great job by Franklin Plumbing and Antonio! We had a plumbing problem in our basement and we were having a family gathering starting that evening for a whole weekend. Antonio came out quickly because of the predicament we were in. The problem was pretty complex and required a lot of work and new parts which had to be ordered but, Antonio and Franklin Plumbing came up with a quick fix to help us get through our event and then came back out to fully fix the problem after the holiday. Very thoughtful, professional, helpful, and they helped us manage the costs of a big repair by providing options.

I called at 11:00 Am they came at 11:30 Am was fixed by Garrett by 12:15 noon I will highly recommended this company reasonable price

Had a mixup in communication somewhere when initially booking and expressed our frustration, and the owner personally called to make things right. Thats what anyone would love to see with a company and glad these folks called to sort everything out.

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!

JC and team arrived on time and finished ahead of expected completion. Thorough final inspection and great job cleaning up after. Would strongly recommend and will ask for him when call again.

As usual, Franklin Plumbing exceeds expectations. They answered all my questions, gave me good advice, and will fix my problems. Great company, great service, at a reasonable price.

Jantonio did an awesome job. Was friendly, answered all my questions, and showed me each step of the way what he was doing. Many thanks to him and Franklin Plumbing.

I have nothing but good things to say. Needed my garbage disposal replaced. They were able to get me an appointment for the next day. Elias was here when they said he would be. He was efficient and an absolute delight. Definitely will use them again.

My technician, Franklin, located our issue and had it resolved in under 15 minutes. He was on time, personable, respectful and overall a pleasure to work with. Company as a whole got us back in business with our plumbing issues very quickly with short notice on a Friday afternoon. I will definitely use this company again for my commercial business plumbing needs. Residential if I have a need also! Thank you!! 5 stars earned and then some.

They are absolutely wonderful! JC and Eli were absolutely understanding to our family needs. JC did a wonderful job. Eli is great! After another plumber messed up our drain switch, Eli recommended new type of switch . It's perfect! Thank y'all. We will be using you in the future.

Had water leaking from my ceiling and called this company to identify the problem. Dispatch had someone out right away. My technician JC was very nice and knowledgeable about my issue. He offered different scenarios and did not overcharge me for things I didn't need. I greatly appreciate his honesty and professionalism. I can't speak about the other technicians from this company but JC is great!! I would definitely recommend this company

Dakota Tierce was my technician today. He was awesome! He was prompt, polite, and very informative. I always have positive experiences with Franklin Plumbing. I highly recommend their services.

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.

Tony was very down to earth but yet very professional. I appreciate his knowledge about the task at hand and a willingness to get the job done about what I needed to get done. Would recommend him on any day. Good employee frfr and would recommend Franklin Plumbing for myself and others because of him
