Benjamin Franklin Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Derry, NH 03038

Our thorough plumbing inspection identifies vulnerabilities specific to New Hampshire winters, such as insufficient insulation around pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls. We check for drafts, inspect your water heater's performance, and assess overall system integrity. By addressing these issues proactively, we can recommend targeted solutions like pipe insulation or minor repairs to significantly reduce the risk of costly and disruptive frozen pipes.

We can almost always fix a jammed disposal. Our technicians are experts at safely clearing common local jams caused by potato peels, fruit pits, or excessive grease. Using specialized tools, we manually free the impellers and reset the unit. We'll also inspect for wear and provide honest advice if the motor is damaged. Often, a simple repair and some homeowner tips on what not to dispose of are all that's needed to get you back up and running.

First, shut off the main water supply to prevent flooding if the pipe has burst. Then, gently apply heat to the frozen section using a hairdryer or towels soaked in warm water—never use an open flame. Keep the faucet open to allow water to flow as it thaws. Call us immediately at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Our Derry team offers emergency services to safely thaw pipes, locate the cause of the freeze, and make necessary repairs to prevent it from happening again.
