Common plumbing issues & quick fixes

Plumbing problems can range from minor annoyances to major emergencies. Before scheduling a service call, try these troubleshooting steps to see if you can resolve the issue yourself.

1. Check for clogged drains. If your sink or shower is draining slowly, it might be due to a clog. Try using a plunger or a drain snake to clear the blockage. (Stuck? See our drain cleaning page.)

2. Inspect for leaks. Leaky faucets or pipes can waste water and increase your utility bills. Check under sinks and around fixtures. Tightening connections or replacing worn-out washers can often fix minor leaks.

3. Test your water pressure. Low water pressure can be caused by mineral buildup. Remove the aerator or showerhead and soak it in vinegar to dissolve the buildup.

4. Check your water heater. If you’re experiencing cold showers, your water heater might be the culprit. If the heater is old or malfunctioning, it might need professional attention.

5. Clear your garbage disposal. If your disposal is jammed, first turn off the power. Then use an Allen wrench to manually turn the disposal’s blades and dislodge any obstructions. (Still stuck or leaking? See our garbage disposal page.)

6. Inspect your toilet. A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water. Check the flapper valve and the fill valve inside the tank.

7. Look for sewer line issues. If multiple drains are clogged or you notice a foul smell, you might have a sewer line problem. This is a job for a professional plumber.

8. Clear a clogged sink. Fill the basin with a few inches of water and plunge firmly. If that doesn’t do it, slide a bucket underneath and unscrew the P-trap (the U-shaped pipe under the sink) to clear trapped debris. Skip the chemical drain cleaners — they can damage pipes and rarely clear a full blockage. (Still backed up? See our drain cleaning page.)

9. Fix a toilet that won’t flush. First, make sure the shutoff valve behind the toilet is fully open and the tank is filling. If the bowl is clogged, use a flanged toilet plunger with firm, steady strokes. If the tank fills but the flush is weak, the flapper may be closing too early — check that the chain has just a little slack. (Still won’t clear? See our drain cleaning page.)

What can Franklin help with?

This isn’t exhaustive, but a few of the plumbing things we handle:

1. Toilet repair / replacement. Leaky, wobbly, running, or old toilet? We’ll repair or replace it.

2. Water heater repair / replacement. Leaking, noisy, or not heating? We diagnose, repair, or install reliable new units.

3. Water heater flush / maintenance. Routine flushing to remove sediment and extend lifespan.

4. Tankless water heater repair / installation. Endless hot water and lower energy bills.

5. Garbage disposal repair / installation.

6. Faucet repair / installation.

7. Bathtub / shower repair & installation.

8. Water leak repair. In walls, ceilings, slabs, or foundation.

9. Burst pipe & frozen pipe repair. Rapid response to thaw, repair, and minimize water damage from frozen or burst pipes.

10. Sump pump repair & installation. Keeping basements and crawlspaces dry through spring storms and heavy rain.

11. Outside faucet / hydrant repair.

12. Drain unclogging & cleaning. Sink clogged or toilet won't flush? We can help with even the most stubborn clogs — mainline, kitchen, bath, shower, sewer.

13. Sewer line repair & camera inspection. State-of-the-art waterproof cameras to find blockages, cracks, or damage.

14. Gas line repair & installation. Licensed gas line work for furnaces, water heaters, ranges, and outdoor connections.

15. Water filtration & softeners. Whole-home filters and softeners installed.

16. Pressure-reducing valve (PRV) installation. If your incoming water pressure is too high, a PRV protects fixtures, appliances, and supply lines from premature wear and burst risk. We test your home’s pressure, install or replace the PRV, and dial it in to a safe set point.

Our AC stopped blowing cold air on Friday; today we had Francisco Torres come out to our house from Franklin to take a look at our unit. Turns out it was the capacitor, so he was able to fix it quickly - and it was a relief to know we wouldn't need a whole new unit! We appreciate you guys, and thank you for taking care of us!

I started with a service call when my system wouldn't come on. I suspected a compressor. Frank Livingston came out on a $19 service call. He found that the unit had automatically shut down while it was running and power was lost during a storm. This is a safety feature. He reset the unit and told me what to do if it happened again. You know he could have replaced my compressor for $900 and I would not have known the difference since our system was nearly 15 years old. We decided to replace the a/c and furnace as we will soon have 22 people off and on for 9 days and 5 extras around the clock for that period. We faced this same situation before and the a/c went out at the worst time. Never again. We first talked with Will Gilbrech from Marketing and he sent Zach Rundle from Operations to give us a proposal. We made a decision and 3 days later Jake Davenport and Hayden Williams showed up and went straight to work replacing our entire system. it was HOT in the attic where our furnace is located but they finished that same day. They came back a few days later and replaced the zone system which we decided on after the fact. I must say everyone we dealt with was very professional and friendly. Special thanks to Jake and Hayden for doing a super job and keeping a great attitude in spite of their discomfort due to the heat. My hat is off to all at Franklin. They will be who I call in the future as the need may arise. July 2, 2024 Five years a go I this week Franklin replaced our old furnace and air conditioner. There have been zero service calls since then except for the semi-annual tune ups. Today, however, noticed hot air coming from the vents and getting hotter. It was late in the day but we called Franklin anyway. They said they had a tech, Jaxon Harris, just finishing his last job in Fayetteville and they said they would add us for him. It was less than 15 minutes later and he was at our door. We explained the problem and he went right to work. He was back in another 15 minutes telling us the fan on the outside unit was toast. He said he had already called to secure a replacement fan. We gave him the go-ahead and he was back in 20-25 minutes and he went right work. A short time later he came back inside saying the install was finished so now he would wait a few minutes to be sure all, including the Freon, was doing as it was supposed to. My thanks go to Jaxon, who at 20 years old, is real pro. He is a credit to himself and to Franklin. They hit a home run when they hired him. Over the past five years, I have had the opportunity to tell others that they cannot go wrong with the folks at Franklin. As of now, I am echoing that thought. BTW They really do have $19 service calls. Update: Two days ago, Oct 17, 24, we had the pleasure of another visit from Jaxon Harris. He came to do our fall tune up. This young man is a real pro. He knows what he is doing and is so friendly, you would want to sit and just chat for a while. He went right to work and finished a short time later. He briefed us on what he had done and was soon on his way to his next job. I say again, Franklin got a real gem when they hired him. BTW. They only charge $75.73 including taxes for their tune ups which I believe is $5-10 less than others. If you need HVAC work, call Franklin. They also do water heaters now.

Brett Rutledge did a great job. He communicated his findings well, provided details on the resolution, and information for next steps. Brett is why I continue to use Franklin!

Brett was great. He diagnosed the problem and is getting it fixed. I’m a landlord with 30+ properties and I have Franklin take care of all of them.

FAQ

Common plumbing questions.

How long until you can come out?
Same-day or next-day service is the norm in Northwest Arkansas, except during periods of extremely high demand. If it's an emergency, we'll route an on-call technician to you the same day, including evenings and Saturdays. Book online or call (479) 282-0003 and we'll give you the soonest available window before you hang up.
What does a typical plumbing repair cost?
It depends on the work. Garbage disposal repairs start from $149.86. Stop installs are $149.88. Sink basket strainer replacements are $178.80. Hooking up a dishwasher starts from $279.86. Water leak repairs start from $294.92, and frost-resistant hydrant installs start from $397.88. Pricing includes parts and labor; sales tax not included, and rates can shift over time, so your plumber will quote the exact flat-rate price on-site before any work begins.
Do you charge by the hour or flat rate?
Flat rate, always. The price you approve is the price you pay — even if the job takes longer than expected. No clock-watching, no “shop time” fees, no nickel-and-diming. If something unexpected comes up mid-job, we stop and re-quote before continuing.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every Franklin technician works under our Arkansas state licensing, and we're fully insured (general liability + workers' comp). Our team is also background-checked and drug-tested. Email us if you'd like proof of license and insurance.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes — every job is backed by the Franklin Service Guarantee. If something we repaired or installed isn't right, we'll come back and make it right at no charge.
What happens if you can't fix it on the first visit?
Most repairs are made on the spot, but if a repair needs a specific part from the factory, we will order it and come back to install it ASAP.
What is the $29 service call?
It's our diagnostic visit. A licensed technician comes out, figures out what's actually going on, and gives you an all-in flat-rate price for the repair before any work starts. If you decide not to move forward, you only owe the $29 — no penalty. Replacement quotes (water heaters, AC systems, panels, etc.) are always free.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We've teamed up with Wells Fargo to offer financing on home repairs over $500, upon credit approval. See our financing page for current promotions, or ask your technician for options before approving the quote.
Do you offer services other than this?
Yes — Franklin handles HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. Same crew, same $29 service call, same flat-rate guarantee.
