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.

I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!
Brian Ridenour
Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!
Dennis Sen
10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!
Refind Vintage
We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.
Suzyn Purdy
Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.
Larry Murphy
Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.
Jeremiah Fisher
A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!
Tammy Spencer
Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!
