Business Description: Benjamin Franklin – The Punctual Plumber provides quality plumbing service to homes all over Northwest Indiana and South Chicago. Tens of thousands of satisfied customers have known us for more than 50 years, first as Downing Plumbing and since 2006 as Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. We remain, as always, a family owned business, but have decided to add the support of the #1 residential plumbing service company in North America in becoming a Ben Franklin franchise. For quality plumbing repairs, homeowners in the Chicagoland area know that Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is the way to go. With a dedicated staff working to cater to all of your plumbing needs, we assure you of prompt service. Keeping in mind your satisfaction, our plumbers go through comprehensive, technical customer service training programs and all our plumbers are drug screened and background checked. Hence, you can rest assured that our services are always top notch. Whether you are looking to fix a leak, change your water heating system or just regular maintenance, we offer services tailor made to suit your plumbing requirements. Keeping in mind our goal of 100% customer satisfaction, we are committed to offering “upfront” pricing, which means you will be charged by the job, and not by hour and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing offers regular appointments, 7 days a week. We also offer 24 hour emergency plumbing services. So, if a pipe bursts in the middle of the night, you know who to call. If you make an appointment with us, we will stick to it. If we're late for your appointment we will pay you $5 for every minute that we are late up to $300.
