Bartlett is our hometown, the village where Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Bartlett & Schaumburg is based, straddling the corners of Cook, DuPage, and Kane counties at the western edge of the northwest suburbs. It's a community of well-kept neighborhoods, a historic downtown, and the parks and trails that make it a favorite place to raise a family.
Being local means we're not just passing through; Bartlett is home. We back every visit with our signature promise: if there's any delay, it's you we pay.
Every Bartlett home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire northwest-suburban service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:

Commercial plumbing service for area businesses, restaurants, retail, and multi-family properties.
Bartlett's water history reflects the broader northwest-suburban story: like many area towns, the village historically drew on deep sandstone wells. This prompted many Illinois suburbs to seek alternative supplies, and the region has steadily moved toward Lake Michigan water. Whatever the source, the water here is hard enough that softeners are a common upgrade to protect water heaters and fixtures from scale.
Bartlett's housing is dominated by subdivisions built from the 1970s through the 2000s, many now reaching the age where water heaters fail and fixtures wear out, and the earliest builds may carry polybutylene piping worth checking. Full basements over clay soil make sump pumps with battery backups essential, heavy storms make sewer backups and backwater valves a real concern, and cold winters bring frozen-pipe risk to every exposed run.
As the hometown team, we know Bartlett's neighborhoods, its housing stock, and its water. Our trucks are a familiar sight here. We stock them to handle the sump pumps, water heaters, repipes, and frozen-pipe repairs Bartlett homes actually need, resolving most visits in a single trip, often the same day.
if there's any delay, it's you we pay, $5 for every minute we're late, up to $300. See our guarantees.

In our hometown, prevention is the smart play: protect exposed pipes before the first hard freeze, test the sump pump and battery backup before the wet spring, flush the water heater yearly, and have older piping checked for polybutylene. If your basement has ever backed up, ask about a backwater valve before the next storm.

Made appointment to pinpoint leak in shower head. Turned out it was the valve which needed replacing. Hugo was great. Ordered it and returned the following day to install. He also shared information about flushing out our tankless water heaters and addressing excessive pressure coming into the house. We are checking with the builder before we schedule those additional jobs to see if there is any warranty on our home.
Mark Katzman
Hugo came on time. Fixed problem.

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!
Jim O'Callaghan
We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!
William Rosshirt
Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer
Justin Faulkner
Great communication when trying to schedule and when in route. Answered my questions and explained options before starting. Completed the work, verified it was fixed and cleaned the area when he was done. (Kitchen sink clog - more than 25’ from the sink)
William Whitehouse
Justin did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. I tried to do it myself and evidently it went up the vent at the T instead of going down into the clog. Hopefully it will not clogged again but if it does and I can't get it I will be calling again. This is the 2nd time I've used Ben Franklin Plumbing and am happy the the fast response and courtesy of the plumbers. I recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to anyone I know needing a plumber.
N Peterson
Chris is very upbeat and personable. He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and got everything done the same day that we needed repaired and replaced. I’m very pleased with his work and would highly recommend Chris for any future plumbing projects.
