A sewer leak is not a plumbing issue any homeowner wants to experience. A leaking sewer pipe poses multiple health risks for both your family and the community from sewer effluent. In addition, a leaking sewer pipe can cause costly structural damage to your home and its foundation. A sewer pipe leak is a plumbing emergency requiring immediate repair. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing can provide the repair required for your plumbing.
When you smell a sewer odor, it means there is a problem in the sewer, drainage, or ventilation system. The problem may be as simple as the evaporation of water in a seldom-used drain trap, or as serious as a leaking sewer pipe. In the situation of the former, running water down the drain is the solution. For anything else, you will require the services of a plumber to diagnose and repair the issue in your home’s plumbing and surrounding areas.
A break in a home’s water supply line may not be the most common plumbing problem; however, it certainly isn’t rare.

A Benjamin Franklin Plumber offers quality water filtration systems, and the expertise in providing professional water filtration installation, repair and maintenance.

But statistics show that, as a homeowner, chances are that sometime, when you least expect it, your water heater will stop working and you’ll need to replace it.
Energy.gov estimates about 27 million U.S. households have a water heater 10 to 12 years old and, since the life expectancy of storage water heaters (the most popular type in residential homes) is 10 to 15 years tops, a bunch of water heaters are going to be replaced in the next few years.
