Fun Fact Tuesday: Why Is Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Named After Benjamin Franklin?

Have you ever wondered why our plumbers drive trucks featuring one of America's most famous Founding Fathers?

Benjamin Franklin wasn't actually a plumber but he was known for something that perfectly aligns with what we strive for every day: honesty, reliability, innovation, and exceptional service.

When the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing brand was created, the founders chose Benjamin Franklin as the company's namesake because his values reflected the type of service customers deserve. Franklin was known for his wisdom, hard work, punctuality, and reputation for doing things the right way.

One of his most famous quotes is: "It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation and only one bad one to lose it."

That philosophy became a cornerstone of the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing brand and remains a guiding principle today.

Another fun fact: Benjamin Franklin was an inventor who helped advance our understanding of electricity, created the lightning rod, and developed many practical innovations that improved everyday life. While he never invented plumbing, his dedication to solving problems and serving communities made him the perfect symbol for a service company built on trust.

And that's also where our famous slogan comes from: "The Punctual Plumber"

Because showing up on time, keeping our promises, and delivering outstanding service are values Benjamin Franklin himself would likely appreciate.

Beyond the Job: Celebrating Our Team Outside of Work

Leadership doesn't end when the workday is over.

One of the things that makes a strong team is having people who continue to learn, grow, and invest in others outside of their day-to-day responsibilities. That's exactly why we're excited to celebrate Kip on becoming a published author.

His new book, Do As I Do: Leadership Starts With What You Do, shares lessons learned through real-life experiences, personal growth, and the belief that leadership is built through actions, not titles.

This accomplishment is a reflection of the dedication, discipline, and commitment to helping others grow that Kip demonstrates every day.

Congratulations, Kip, on this incredible achievement. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with you and can't wait to see what's next.

Yesterday, our team had the opportunity to visit the Ronald McDonald House for the second time, and once again it was such a meaningful experience.🌮

This time, we put together a taco bar dinner for the families staying there. Being able to provide a warm meal, spend time together, and support families going through difficult moments is something we are truly grateful for.

At Service Minds, giving back to the communities we serve is important to us. Thank you to everyone on our team who helped make this happen, your kindness and willingness to serve others is what makes our company special.

We are already looking forward to the next visit.

At Service Minds, we believe hard work should be recognized in a meaningful way not just with words, but with experiences.

Every year, our top-performing technicians and trade support team members earn a spot in our Champions Club , an all-expenses-paid trip where they can bring a guest and truly celebrate what they’ve accomplished.

This year, we headed to beautiful Saint Lucia. 🌴

From incredible views to unforgettable moments, this trip is more than just a reward, it’s a reflection of the standard our team sets every single day. Excellence deserves to be celebrated, and our people have earned it.

Here are a few snapshots from this year’s trip and trust us, they don’t even capture all of it.

At Service Minds, this is just one of the many ways we invest in our team and recognize those who go above and beyond.

Beyond the Job 🏃‍♂️

At Service Minds, our team members don’t just show up, they push boundaries, set goals, and challenge themselves in ways that inspire all of us.

Meet Michael Kammer, who recently completed the Rome Marathon a journey that demanded consistency, discipline, and resilience long before race day ever arrived. From early mornings to long training runs, Michael balanced it all while continuing to show up strong at work.

Race day was more than just crossing a finish line. Running through historic streets, he experienced the highs, the challenges, and the moments of reflection that come with chasing a meaningful goal.

His biggest takeaway? Growth happens when you push beyond what’s comfortable and stay committed to the process.

And he’s not stopping there, next up, Michael is taking on a 46-mile run along the Pinellas Trail this Labor Day weekend.

We’re proud to have team members like Michael who embody perseverance, dedication, and a drive to keep going, both on and off the job.
