When it comes to emergency plumbing situations, we know something about them. First, it’s a common issue and the main reason we decided to open a new location in Oklahoma City. 
We were already receiving calls to help homeowners and local businesses with after-hours plumbing emergencies. It made sense to bring our team closer to the area so we could shorten that wait time.
What kind of plumbing situations require an OKC 24/7 plumber? There are plenty, and sometimes they are different depending on who the caller is. For instance, if a local restaurant calls us, they may be experiencing clogged drains in the kitchen. Although most kitchens follow strict guidelines about what goes down their drains, over time, a clog might still happen (https://www.okc.gov/departments/utilities/protect-your-pipes/disposing-of-fats-oils-grease). If it occurs around dinnertime, it could cause some havoc for the chef. If they call us, no worries. Our plumbing technicians get there in a jiffy to solve the problem without the customers knowing.
Another common problem in local OKC eateries and clubs is stopped-up toilets in the bathroom. Customers can get a bit “enthusiastic” about how much toilet paper they use, causing toilets to stop and overflow. That’s not a safe situation and difficult for other customers who need to use the restroom.
Then there are broken pipes. They can begin with a slow leak and turn into a flooding situation. An emergency plumbing technician can arrive, help shut off the water, clean up the area, and, if needed, fix the broken pipe.
For every emergency call, we understand when our customers are anxious and stressed about their situation. But our professional team maintains their cool and “go with the flow.” We’ll know what needs to happen and will remain calm and in charge.
Five Star Reviews Talk about Ben Franklins’ Punctual Plumbers in an Emergency in the OKC
Now, let’s talk about homeowners who have a late-night plumbing emergency. Here are some everyday situations we get calls for:
Clogged drains: Whether hair is clogging a bathtub drain or food debris is backing up the kitchen sink, we can handle it quickly.
Leaky pipes: A leak can indicate a bigger problem. It could be a pipe that is about to break and cause costly damage to a home. We check the leak and ensure it doesn’t become an expensive nightmare.
Busted pipes: Oops, forget leaky pipes if this has already happened. The first thing to do is turn off the main water supply right away. Then call us. Ben Franklin’s plumbing technicians will fix any other pipe problems, assess the damage, and tell you what the next steps are.
Water Heater on the fritz: Handle this as soon as possible: Turn off the coldwater supply, gas, and/or electricity. Just don’t plug the relief valve! If you are confused about any of this, call our 24/7 OKC plumber team, and we’ll walk you through the process on the phone as we make our way over.
