Your Local Plumber in Benton, AR

Benton's mix of old and new construction means we see every type of plumbing problem. Older downtown homes have cast iron and galvanized pipes failing after 50-60 years. Newer subdivisions have installation mistakes and builder-grade fixtures wearing out. Both need plumbing service but for completely different reasons.

Septic system issues look like plumbing problems in Benton. If all your drains back up at once, your septic tank might be full or your drainfield might be failing. We can tell the difference between a clogged pipe and a septic failure, but many plumbers just snake the line and leave, then you have the same problem two weeks later.

Well water problems are common outside Benton city limits. Sediment clogs faucet aerators and showerheads constantly. Water softeners help with hard water but they don't filter sediment. If your water is brown or cloudy after heavy rain, sediment is getting into your well and damaging your appliances.

Sewer line cracks from clay soil movement cause backups and sewage smells. The ground expands when wet and contracts when dry, which shifts pipes underground and cracks them. Camera inspections find the damage location before we dig up your yard.

Drainage service in Benton is complicated by septic systems. If you're on septic, we need to be careful about what products we use and how we clear blockages. Chemical drain cleaners damage septic systems and kill the bacteria that break down waste. We use mechanical methods like snaking and hydro jetting that don't harm your septic.

Main line stoppages on city sewer get cleared with hydro jetting or mechanical snaking. We use cameras to verify the blockage is actually in your house line, not in the city main. If it's the city's problem, they need to fix it. If it's your problem, we clear it and figure out why it keeps clogging so we can prevent it.

Kitchen sink drains clog from grease and food waste. Bathroom drains clog from hair and soap. Laundry drains clog from lint if you don't have a lint trap. These are simple clogs but they're frustrating when they happen during dinner prep or while guests are over. We clear them fast and recommend ways to prevent them from recurring.

Gas installation for new construction and remodels happens constantly in Benton's growing subdivisions. New homes need gas lines for water heaters, ranges, dryers, and outdoor grills. Older homes switching from electric to gas need new lines run from the meter. We handle all the sizing, installation, pressure testing, and inspections.

Gas work requires licensed plumbers and permits. Don't let anyone install gas lines without proper credentials. We pull permits before we start, install everything to code, pressure test for leaks, and schedule city inspections. Only after everything passes do we turn the gas back on. This isn't optional. It's safety and it's the law.

We work as a general contractor and remodeler for Benton homes needing bathroom and kitchen updates. Older homes need complete plumbing overhauls when you remodel. The cast iron drains are cracked, the galvanized supply lines are corroded, and nothing meets current codes. We replace it all during the remodel so you start fresh with modern plumbing.

New construction sometimes needs fixes when builder-grade work fails. Cheap faucets leak, garbage disposals jam, and drain lines installed with improper slope cause slow drainage. We diagnose what's actually wrong and fix it right instead of bandaiding it like the original builder probably did.

Adding bathrooms to Benton homes increases value and functionality. Whether you're finishing a basement, converting a bedroom, or adding space upstairs, new bathrooms need complete plumbing systems run from your existing setup. We route supply lines and drains efficiently, minimizing the number of walls we need to open.

Kitchen remodels mean relocating sinks, adding islands, and upgrading appliances. When you move a sink to an island, that drain needs proper venting to work right. We install air admittance valves or run vent pipes to your main stack depending on what code allows and what works best for your layout.
