Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
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:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Bartlett homeowners facing burst or frozen pipes, sump pump failures, sewer or basement backups, or no-water situations, day or night, weekends and holidays, with no after-hours fees.
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, with our plumbers trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection to clear recurring clogs and find the real cause.
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems sized to your home.
Sewer line repair and replacement, trenchless options, and backwater-valve and flood-control work to stop the basement backups our region is prone to.
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for aging galvanized and corroded systems, plus frozen-pipe repair through harsh Chicago winters.
Water service line repair and replacement, locate and replace aging and lead service lines, which Illinois now requires be removed.
Non-destructive leak detection and hidden and slab leak repair that pinpoint basement, wall, and buried-line leaks before we cut into anything.
Water softeners and filtration for Chicagoland's hard water, plus iron and hardness treatment for homes on private wells.
Sump pump installation and repair, including battery backups and ejector pumps, the essential defense for a northwest-suburban basement.
Well pump repair and replacement and pressure-tank service for Wayne and other properties on private wells.
Faucets, toilets, sinks, and garbage disposals repaired and installed.
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.
you approve every price before any work begins, no meter running, no surprises.
we stand behind our materials, labor, and craftsmanship.
we answer the phone around the clock, every day of the year, with no after-hours fees, vital during a frozen pipe, a flooded basement, or a sewer backup.
background-checked, drug-tested professionals with verified licensing, liability coverage, and workers' compensation.
your neighbors here in Bartlett, supported by a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024.
Club membership with annual safety inspections, leak checks, sump pump and water heater tune-ups, priority service, and discounts.
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.

Brandon was very easy to work with in giving me options to consider. Personable, polite and professional!
Ron Hyatte
Excellent quality work. Company employees are very knowledgeable and professional. Very reasonable prices for the work performed.

I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!

I have known the owner John for 15 years. He is very knowledgable about plumbing and can explain plumbing systems so well. He has given me great ideas and options when I am working on my house and I value his opinions and advice. Recently, I had a plumbing issue under the house and John took care of it. I am very happy with his work.
Daniel Moise
I’m gald to say that Benjamin Franklin in Palm Desert helped me install my water heater that failed. Luis and Hugo were very professional and kept the work area cleaned at all times even during the installation process. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Coachella valley.
Eric R
I know the owner and worked with him. He is dependable, has pride in his work and always willing to teach. You can trust Benjamin Franklin Plumbing To be on time, do what they say they are going to do and always produce high quality work. Please give them a try you won’t regret it 😊
Beck Hasti
We had an old, barely functioning kitchen faucet replaced. The plumber (Brandon) was very professional and left the area very clean and dry. He also noticed some quirks in the plumbing in our 85 year old house (which also explained a water pressure issue we’d been having), letting us know what could be done to address it (& how much it might cost), should we choose to do something about.
Tyler Wood
Love them! On time, thorough, and informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they were more than happy to educate me. I’ve known the owner for over 15 years. Great guy. Ask for John.
Saeed Jassani
