Your home, protected. Since 1979.
Plumbing is the part of your house you never think about until it fails. Our job is to make sure you rarely have to. Family-owned in Fort Myers for 47 years, and still answering the phone ourselves.

Three things you get from us.
- 01We protect your investment.Your house is the biggest thing you own. Old pipe, a hidden leak, or a failed backflow test can cost more than any repair. We find leaks before they become floods, repipe before the third leak, and pull the permits so the work holds up at sale and inspection.
- 02We make your home more comfortable.Hot water that lasts through the last shower. Softer water that is easier on skin, fixtures and appliances. Faucets, toilets and drains that simply work. Small things, every day, that make a house feel right.
- 03We give you peace of mind.A plumber answers the phone 24 hours a day, every day. Licensed and insured in Florida. And the same family has stood behind the work for 47 years, so when we say we will be there, we will.


Van Franey Plumbing started in 1979 with a simple idea: do the job right the first time, treat the customer like a neighbor, and the business will take care of itself.
Four decades later, the second generation runs the company the same way: show up when we say we will, charge what we quoted, and leave the place cleaner than we found it.
