Do you install and repair toilets, garbage disposals, and dishwashers?

Yes — these are among the most common service calls we handle. We install and repair all major brands of toilets (standard, elongated, ADA-compliant, and power-flush models), garbage disposals (1/2 HP, 3/4 HP, and 1 HP units), and dishwasher water supply and drain connections.

For toilet issues, we diagnose whether the problem is a simple internal repair (flapper, fill valve, or wax ring) or whether the fixture needs full replacement. For garbage disposals, we handle both replacement of a failed unit and new installations where no disposal previously existed. Dishwasher hookups include the hot water supply line, the drain connection to your sink or disposal, and verification that the air gap or high loop meets Fort Worth code.

Our technicians stock the most common parts on their trucks, which means most of these repairs happen the same day you call — no waiting for parts orders. Learn about toilet repair | Learn about toilet replacement

Can you upgrade or replace outdoor hose bibs and exterior faucets?

Yes. Outdoor hose bibs (spigots) are exposed to weather and take a beating in the North Texas climate — from triple-digit summer heat to winter freezes that can split a non-frost-proof bib and cause water damage inside the wall behind it.

We replace standard hose bibs with frost-proof models that have a longer stem, placing the shutoff point inside the heated wall cavity rather than at the exterior face. This design significantly reduces the risk of freeze damage. We also install additional hose bibs for Fort Worth homeowners who need water access in a new location — for a garden, a detached garage, or an outdoor kitchen.

The job typically takes less than an hour per bib and includes testing the connection and verifying there are no leaks inside the wall. Explore faucet repair and replacement

Do you handle plumbing for kitchen and bathroom remodels?

Yes. Remodel plumbing is a core part of what we do at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Fort Worth. Whether you’re moving a kitchen sink to an island, adding a second bathroom, reconfiguring a master bath layout, or upgrading all fixtures in a hall bath, we handle the supply and drain rough-in, fixture installation, and final connections.

We coordinate with your general contractor or work directly with you if you’re managing the project yourself. Plumbing typically happens in two phases during a remodel: rough-in (installing supply and drain lines in walls and floors before drywall) and trim-out (installing the fixtures, faucets, and connections after finishes are in place). Timing both phases correctly keeps your project on schedule.

We pull the required plumbing permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is code-compliant in Fort Worth, Arlington, and all surrounding jurisdictions. Our estimates separate fixture costs from labor so you can see exactly where your money goes. Explore bathroom plumbing

Can you install ADA-compliant or handicap-accessible bathroom fixtures?

Yes. We install ADA-compliant fixtures including comfort-height toilets, wall-mounted sinks at accessible heights, roll-in shower rough-ins, handheld showerheads on adjustable slide bars, and single-lever faucets that meet accessibility standards.

Accessible bathroom modifications often require more than just swapping a fixture — the drain and supply rough-in may need adjustment to accommodate new fixture positions, and some projects involve removing a tub to install a barrier-free shower. We evaluate the existing plumbing layout, recommend the modifications needed, and provide a written scope that includes all plumbing work, fixtures, and permit costs.

If you’re working with an occupational therapist or aging-in-place consultant in the Fort Worth area, we’re happy to coordinate with them to ensure the plumbing meets the specific accessibility needs of the user. Explore bathroom plumbing services.

Do you help source hard-to-find or vintage fixture parts?

Our technicians carry a wide range of common repair parts on their trucks and have access to supplier networks that stock discontinued and hard-to-find components. Older homes in Fort Worth — particularly in neighborhoods like Fairmount, Arlington Heights, and Southside — often have fixtures from manufacturers that have changed model lines or gone out of business entirely.

If the exact part is no longer made, we’ll tell you that upfront and walk through the options — a retrofit piece that fits the old fixture body, tracking down stock through a specialty parts house, or finding a modern replacement that drops into the same rough-in without reworking the wall or counter. We’ve matched parts for fixtures we haven’t seen installed in 30 years, so it’s always worth asking. Explore faucet repair services.

Do you pull permits for remodel plumbing work?

Yes. Any plumbing work in Fort Worth that involves new fixture installations, changes to drain or supply routing, or additions to the existing system requires a plumbing permit. We handle the permit application, coordinate the city inspection, and ensure the work passes on the first visit.

Our written estimates include permit fees so there are no surprises. We work with the City of Fort Worth Development Services Department as well as the permitting offices in Arlington, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, and Burleson depending on your project’s location.

What basic plumbing repairs can you handle in a single visit?

Most common residential plumbing repairs are completed in one visit by Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Fort Worth. Our technicians arrive with fully stocked trucks carrying the parts needed for the most frequent service calls — including faucet cartridges, toilet internals, supply lines, angle stops, garbage disposals, hose bibs, and common fittings.

Single-visit repairs typically include faucet repair or replacement, toilet repair or replacement, garbage disposal installation, leaking supply line replacement, hose bib replacement, dishwasher hookup, shut-off valve replacement, and minor fixture adjustments. For larger jobs — like a complete bathroom remodel rough-in or a water heater installation — we may need to schedule a return visit depending on the scope and materials required.

The key advantage of fully stocked trucks is that you’re not paying for a diagnostic visit and then waiting days for parts to arrive. In most cases, we diagnose and fix the problem in a single trip — whether you’re in Fort Worth, Arlington, or anywhere else in our service area. Contact us to schedule a repair.
