Plumbing Company Ames IA | Call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Ames

Frozen outdoor faucets and broken shutoff valves are common issues for Ames homeowners, especially with our Iowa winters. First, shut off the water supply inside your home to the affected line to prevent water damage. For a frozen faucet, gently applying warm air (never an open flame) can help thaw it. Our emergency plumbers are available 24/7 to handle these situations. We can replace faulty valves with models rated for our climate and install frost-proof faucets to prevent future freezing, all in a single visit from our well-stocked trucks.

Yes, we provide thorough plumbing inspections. An inspection is a proactive way to maintain your home's plumbing system. It can identify small issues like minor leaks or worn parts before they become major emergencies or cause water damage. We recommend inspections for older homes, before purchasing a property, or as part of regular home maintenance. Our experienced plumbers will check pipes, fixtures, water heaters, and drains, providing you with a clear assessment and recommendations for any needed repairs or updates.

Our guarantee is our promise that you'll be happy with the work we do. It means we stand behind the quality of our repairs and installations. If you're not completely satisfied with any aspect of our service, we will make it right. This applies to all our work, from a simple faucet installation to a major sewer repair.
