Arlington sits right in the middle of the Metroplex, and its homes cover just about every era of North Texas building. You will find 1960s ranch houses near downtown, 1980s two-story homes in the south part of town, and brand new builds along the Trinity River. Each age of home comes with its own plumbing habits and weak spots.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Fort Worth and Arlington takes care of these homes every day. Our technicians show up on time, explain what is going on without the runaround, and back every job with a satisfaction guarantee. From a small drip to a flooded laundry room, we are a local call away.
Our service area covers all of Arlington, from the neighborhoods around Lake Arlington to the homes near the entertainment district. Wherever you live in town, help is never far away.
Most Arlington homes sit on concrete slab foundations poured over expansive clay. When summer drags on without rain, that clay shrinks and pulls away. When fall storms finally roll through, it swells right back. Pipes running under and through the slab take the brunt of all that shifting, and over time joints can crack or wear thin.
Here are a few signs that something under your floor or behind your walls needs attention.
If any of these sound familiar, give us a call before the problem spreads. We use modern leak detection equipment to find the trouble spot and recommend the repair that makes the most sense for your home and budget.
Arlington water is moderately hard, and those minerals settle in tank water heaters, faucet aerators, and toilet valves year after year. Many homes in town are still running on the water heater the previous owner installed. When yours starts making popping sounds or the hot water runs out faster than it used to, replacement may be the smarter move.
Our team installs tank and tankless water heaters, new toilets, kitchen and bath faucets, garbage disposals, and replacement supply lines. If you are remodeling a bathroom or updating an older kitchen, we can rough in new lines and set fixtures so everything works the first time you turn it on.
We size every install for your family’s needs and walk you through the options up front. You get a clear plan, honest pricing, and a clean work area when we finish.
Plumbing calls in Arlington pick up in predictable waves. Big game days and holiday weekends bring a rush of clogged drains and overworked garbage disposals as families host crowds. Winter cold snaps catch attic and exterior wall pipes off guard, while the long Texas summer keeps water heaters and outdoor spigots working overtime.
We handle drain cleaning, leak detection, pipe repair, repiping for older homes, water heater service, toilet and faucet repair, and emergency calls. Older neighborhoods near the University of Texas at Arlington often need help with aging drain lines, while newer areas tend to call about water pressure and fixture problems.
Routine maintenance visits are another way we help. A quick look at your water heater, shutoff valves, and drains each year can catch small issues before they turn into a costly mess.
If you are not sure whether a problem is urgent, call and describe what you are seeing. We will give you an honest read on what to do next.
Mike lives in Viridian, the newer community up along the Trinity River in north Arlington. One Saturday morning he walked into his garage and found a puddle spreading out from under the water heater. The tank was only a handful of years old, so he figured it was a loose fitting and called us to take a look.
Our technician shut off the water and power to the unit, drained it, and found that the tank itself had started to leak at the bottom. Hard water sediment had built up inside and worn through faster than expected. He walked Mike through his options, and Mike chose a new unit with a drain pan to protect the garage floor.
The new water heater was installed and running that afternoon. Before leaving, our tech showed Mike how to flush the tank once a year so sediment does not get the upper hand again.

Expansive clay soil shifts with wet and dry seasons, which puts stress on pipes under the foundation. Aging copper lines and corrosion can also play a part.
Rusty water, popping noises, leaks around the base, or hot water running out quickly are common signs. Units over ten years old are worth having inspected.
Yes. We offer emergency plumbing service for burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and other urgent problems.
Over time, minerals in hard water build up in pipes, fixtures, and water heaters. That buildup can reduce water flow and shorten the life of your equipment.
