We're Hiring!
Franklin is the heart of Johnson County, a city with deep roots and a housing landscape that spans from historic downtown neighborhoods to newer residential developments pushing outward toward the county line. Complete Comfort Heating, Air & Plumbing brings skilled, honest plumbing service to Franklin homeowners who want the job done right without the hassle.
We know this area, and we show up ready to work with whatever a home’s plumbing throws at us.
Johnson County sits on poorly draining glacial till soils that hold moisture close to the surface long after rain events. For Franklin homeowners, this means basement water intrusion and sump system stress are seasonal realities rather than rare occurrences. The flat to gently rolling terrain throughout much of the county doesn’t shed water quickly, and drainage systems in older neighborhoods were often sized for conditions that climate trends have since outpaced.
Franklin’s older residential areas, particularly near the courthouse square and along the original city grid, have homes that date back to the early and mid-twentieth century. Supply lines in these properties are often galvanized steel that has been narrowing from the inside for decades, and drain systems may still be on original cast iron that is overdue for attention. We approach repairs in these homes with a thorough eye and a clear explanation of what we find.
From new fixture installs in recently renovated downtown homes to water heater replacements in newer subdivisions on the city’s edge, our installation work in Franklin covers a wide range. We work in homes of all ages and bring the adaptability to handle whatever configuration we find behind the walls or under the floor.
Every installation we complete is permitted where the project requires it, finished to current code standards, and tested before we consider it done. We walk homeowners through what was installed and how it works before we leave, so there are no questions left unanswered.
Complete Comfort provides comprehensive residential plumbing services throughout Franklin and the surrounding Johnson County area. Our most requested service calls in this community include the following.
We are available around the clock for urgent situations and easy to schedule for planned repairs and upgrades.
We got a call from a homeowner named Donna in one of Franklin’s established neighborhoods near the city center. She had noticed her water bill had crept up over several months but couldn’t identify any obvious leak. Our technician ran a meter test and confirmed water was moving through the system even with every fixture shut off.
A methodical check of the supply lines led to a slow seep at a corroded fitting behind the washing machine that had been dripping into the wall cavity rather than onto the floor, which is why it had gone unnoticed. We replaced the fitting and the aging supply hose connection, then dried out the area and confirmed no further leakage. Donna estimated she had been paying for weeks of wasted water without realizing it. Catching a leak that hides rather than pools is exactly the kind of diagnostic work we take seriously on every call.
Franklin is a city that values steady, dependable service over flash. That matches how we operate. Here is what every customer gets when they work with us.
We are committed to Franklin homeowners and proud to be the team this community calls first.
Hidden leaks are often the cause. A dripping fitting inside a wall, a running toilet flapper, or a slow supply line leak can waste significant water without any visible sign. A plumber can run a meter test to confirm whether water is moving through the system when all fixtures are off.
Galvanized steel pipes generally last forty to seventy years, but they corrode from the inside out over time, gradually restricting flow. If your home has galvanized supply lines and you are experiencing low pressure or rusty water, a plumbing inspection can tell you how much life is left.
The most common causes include a stuck or failed float switch, a burned-out motor from running too long or too hard, a clogged intake screen, or a failed check valve that forces the pump to work double. Annual testing before wet season is the best way to catch problems early.
Yes, in many cases a targeted repair or partial repipe is the right approach. A plumber can assess the overall condition of your pipe system and recommend whether a spot repair will hold or whether a broader replacement makes more sense given the age and condition of the surrounding lines.
Recurring clogs even after cleaning, multiple slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors that persist, or a drain camera showing cracked or collapsed pipe sections all suggest replacement may be necessary. Cleaning can maintain a functioning pipe, but it cannot fix one that is structurally failing.
