Loveday Plumbing has served Benton and the surrounding Saline County area since 2006. We are a locally owned plumbing company handling residential and commercial work across the region, from a dripping faucet to a full repipe. Same-day plumbing service is available for jobs that can't wait, and every visit is backed by work performed by licensed plumbers who know what they're doing. We've worked this area long enough to know every street. One number. One call. One plumber at your door.
When you call, you get a real answer and a straight price. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what the job costs before anyone picks up a wrench.
For residential and commercial plumbing work alike, the range of jobs we handle is broad. Drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet repair, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, water pressure problems, whole-home repiping, and emergency plumbing are all part of what we do every week in this area.
Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners all rely on us for the same thing: a plumber who shows up, diagnoses the problem honestly, and fixes it right. Work performed by licensed plumbers on every job, every time. We show up ready to get to work.
A slow drain in the kitchen sink or a backed-up shower can turn into a bigger problem fast. We clear clogs in sinks, bathtubs, showers, and floor drains using the right tools for the job. For stubborn main-line clogs, hydro jetting cuts through grease, buildup, and debris that a standard snake can't reach. We diagnose what's blocking the line and clear it completely before we leave.
Some leaks are obvious. Others hide behind drywall or under a concrete slab for months before the damage shows up on a water bill. We locate both visible and hidden leaks, including slab leak detection for homes built on concrete foundations. Once we find the source, we repair or replace the damaged pipe. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave the area clean when the job is done.
No hot water is an emergency for most households. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and same-day service is available when the situation calls for it. Whether the unit is failing, leaking, or simply past its useful life, we assess the problem and give you a clear recommendation. We also handle commercial water heater work for businesses that need reliable hot water throughout the day.
A running toilet wastes water and money. A leaky faucet does the same. We repair and replace toilets, faucets, and all types of plumbing fixtures in kitchens and bathrooms. Whether you need a single faucet swapped out or a full set of fixtures installed as part of a remodel, we handle the plumbing side from start to finish. Call and we'll get the water running right.
A sewer backup or main line clog affects the whole house. We clear main line clogs, repair damaged sewer lines, and replace sections that are beyond repair. Hydro jetting is available for lines that need a thorough cleaning. Where the sewer line runs from the house toward the street or toward a septic tank, we handle the line itself: clearing it, repairing it, and replacing it when necessary.
Garbage disposal problems, low water pressure, and failing shutoff valves are everyday repairs that deserve a fast, straightforward fix. We install and repair disposals, diagnose pressure issues at the source, and replace main water shutoff valves and angle stops throughout the home. Outdoor faucet and hose bib repair fits here too. These are the kinds of jobs that don't need a long explanation, just a plumber who handles them cleanly.
Older homes in Benton sometimes carry galvanized or deteriorating pipe that causes chronic leaks, low pressure, and discolored water. Whole-home repiping replaces that aging system with copper or PEX pipe that meets current code and performs reliably for decades. It's a bigger job, but it solves a long list of smaller problems at once. We assess the existing system and walk you through what the work involves before anything starts.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and when one of them fails, you need a plumber fast. Burst pipes, sewer backups, flooded basements, major leaks, and no hot water are all situations where waiting is not an option. Same-day plumbing service is available, and we move quickly when the problem is urgent.
We arrive calm and prepared, ready to assess the situation and stop the damage. Call today. Scheduled tomorrow. Flowing by the weekend.
Call today and we'll lock in your appointment.
Saline County's climate and housing stock create specific plumbing demands that come up again and again. Heavy seasonal rainfall, clay-heavy soils, mature tree canopies, and moderately hard groundwater all shape the work we do here. The three services below come up often enough in this area that they deserve their own explanation.
Benton's wet seasons and the low-lying lots scattered across the area put basements and crawl spaces at real risk of water intrusion during heavy rain. A properly installed sump pump keeps that water moving out before it causes damage to flooring, framing, or stored belongings. We install new systems and replace worn-out units, and we make sure the discharge line is routed correctly so the pump does its job when the next storm rolls through.
Mature trees are common throughout Benton's established neighborhoods, and their roots follow moisture straight to pipe joints. Clay soils here make the problem worse: roots travel farther and push harder into older pipe. We clear root intrusions, hydro jet lines that need a thorough cleaning, and use camera inspection to assess how much damage has been done. When a section of line is too far gone, we repair or replace it so the problem doesn't come back next season.
Groundwater hardness varies across Saline County, but scale buildup on fixtures and inside water heaters is a common complaint throughout the region. A whole-house water softener is installed on the main supply line and treats water before it reaches every faucet, fixture, and appliance in the home. It extends the life of fixtures and helps water heaters run efficiently. We handle the full installation, including all connections to the existing supply line.
Good plumbing work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that starts with knowing what you're paying before the work begins. We price jobs up front. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, before any work starts. The cost of a plumbing job depends on what the problem actually is, which is why we recommend calling to describe the situation and get an accurate quote for your specific job. We make the repair and leave it tidy.
Benton is our home base, and we serve customers throughout Saline County and the surrounding communities. We regularly work in Bryant, Bauxite, Shannon Hills, Haskell, Traskwood, Hensley, Alexander, and Tull. If you're nearby and need a plumber, there's a good chance we've already worked on a house on your street.
Call us at (501) 946-9789 and describe what you're seeing. We'll ask a few straightforward questions about the situation and give you a clear sense of what the work involves and what it's likely to cost before we schedule anything.
We price jobs up front before any work begins, so the number you agree to is the number on the invoice. If we open a wall or drain and find something unexpected that changes the scope, we'll stop and talk through it with you before we go further.
In most cases, yes. Having someone on site lets us ask questions, show you what we found, and confirm the scope before we start. If you can't be there, call us and we'll talk through what access arrangements can work for your specific job.
The more detail you can give us about the problem, the better. Where the issue is located, how long it's been happening, whether you've noticed water damage or changes in pressure, and what type of fixture or system is involved all help us give you a more accurate estimate over the phone.
It depends on the job. A faucet repair or toilet replacement usually takes an hour or two. A water heater replacement or main line clearing might take half a day. Larger work like repiping takes longer, and we'll give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers across the county on a regular basis. We understand that turnaround time matters when a tenant is waiting, and we work to schedule repairs quickly and communicate clearly about what was done.
Pricing is based on the work itself, not the square footage of your home. A single faucet repair costs the same whether your house is 900 square feet or 2,900 square feet. We quote by the job, not by a formula tied to home size.
Yes. We work on both residential and commercial properties throughout the Benton area. Commercial clients get the same upfront pricing and licensed plumbers on every job, and we work around your schedule where we can to minimize disruption to your business.
Shut off the water supply to that fixture first. The shutoff valve is usually located on the wall behind the toilet or under the sink. If you can't find it or the water is coming from somewhere else, shut off the main water supply to the house and then call us.
Yes. We serve customers throughout Saline County and the surrounding communities, including Bryant, Bauxite, Shannon Hills, Haskell, Mabelvale, and Alexander. If you're nearby, call us and we'll confirm whether your address falls within our service area.

| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service | root intrusion clearing, hydro jetting root-damaged lines, camera inspection for pipe damage, section repair or replacement | Homes in established Benton neighborhoods with mature trees near sewer lines | Clay soils common in Saline County allow roots to travel farther and push harder into older pipe joints; camera inspection confirms how much damage has been done before we recommend a repair approach |
| Sump Pump Installation | new sump pump installation, worn-out unit replacement, discharge line routing, crawl space and basement systems | Homes with basements or crawl spaces in low-lying lots that see water intrusion during Benton's wet seasons | Proper discharge line routing is critical; a pump that sends water back toward the foundation defeats the purpose |

How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or fully replaced?
Age is the first thing we look at. Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, and tankless units typically last longer. If the unit is leaking from the tank itself, producing rusty water, or failing to heat reliably and it is already past its expected lifespan, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. If it is a younger unit with a failed element, thermostat, or pilot assembly, repair is often the right call. We assess the unit when we arrive and give you a straight recommendation before any work begins.
What is causing my drains to back up or run slowly?
Most slow drains are caused by grease, soap, hair, and debris that accumulate over time inside the pipe. Kitchen drains clog from cooking grease and food particles. Bathroom drains clog from hair and soap buildup. When multiple drains in the house are slow at the same time, the problem is usually farther down in the main line rather than at the individual fixture. In Benton's established neighborhoods, tree roots working into older pipe joints are a common cause of recurring main-line slowdowns.
What does hydro jetting do that a drain snake cannot?
A drain snake breaks through a clog and creates an opening, but it does not clean the inside of the pipe. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the line that scrubs the pipe walls clean, cutting through grease buildup, mineral scale, and root debris that a snake leaves behind. For lines that clog repeatedly or for main lines that have significant buildup, hydro jetting gives a more thorough result and can extend the time before the problem returns.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We price every job before work begins so you know what the repair costs before anyone picks up a wrench. If something unexpected changes the scope, we stop and talk it through with you first.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing up walls or floors?
We start with a thorough inspection of the visible plumbing and look for signs like water stains, soft spots in drywall, and unexplained moisture. For leaks suspected inside a slab, we use pressure testing and listening equipment to narrow down the location before any concrete is opened. The goal is to identify the source precisely so we access only what is necessary, which keeps the repair scope as small as possible.
How do I know if my home needs repiping rather than individual pipe repairs?
If you are dealing with leaks in multiple locations, consistently low pressure throughout the house, discolored water, or you know the home has original galvanized pipe, those are signs the system as a whole is aging out. Repeated spot repairs on old pipe can add up quickly and still leave the underlying problem in place. We assess the existing system and walk you through what repiping involves so you can make an informed decision rather than continuing to patch the same deteriorating pipe.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
The most common signs are multiple slow drains at the same time, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains when water is running elsewhere in the house, sewage odors inside or outside the home, and backups in floor drains. If flushing a toilet causes water to back up into a bathtub or sink, that is a strong indicator the main line is blocked or damaged. We can run a camera through the line to see exactly what is happening and give you a clear picture of what the repair involves.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
When the problem cannot wait, we move quickly. Same-day plumbing service is available for urgent situations, and we arrive ready to assess and get to work.
What causes low water pressure, and can it be fixed without a major repair?
Low pressure has several common causes. A failing pressure regulator is one of the most frequent and is often overlooked. Partially closed shutoff valves, mineral buildup inside older galvanized pipe, and leaks elsewhere in the system can all reduce pressure at the fixtures. We diagnose at the source rather than guessing, so the fix addresses the actual cause. In many cases it is a straightforward repair once we identify what is behind it.
Do I need to be home when the plumber comes out?
In most cases, yes. Having someone on site lets us show you what we found, confirm the scope of the work, and get your approval before we begin. It also means we can ask questions about the history of the problem that help us diagnose it accurately. If your schedule makes that difficult, call us and we will talk through what access arrangements can work for your specific job.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job, large or small, is handled by licensed plumbers who know the work and do it right. We protect your floors and finishes while we work and leave the area clean when we are done.
How does your pricing work, and will the price change after the plumber arrives?
We price jobs up front before any work begins. The number you agree to is the number on the invoice. If we open a wall or drain and find something unexpected that changes the scope of the work, we stop and walk you through it before going further. We do not start additional work without your approval.
Is same-day or emergency service available?
Yes. Same-day plumbing service is available for situations that cannot wait. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and no hot water are all situations where we move quickly. Call us and describe what is happening; we will let you know how soon we can get someone out to you.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line, and what does the repair involve?
Tree roots follow moisture and are drawn to the small amounts of water vapor that escape from pipe joints. Once a root finds an opening, it grows into the pipe and continues to expand, eventually causing partial or complete blockages and, over time, structural damage to the pipe itself. In Benton, clay soils and mature tree canopies in older neighborhoods make this a common problem. We clear the root intrusion, hydro jet the line to clean it thoroughly, and run a camera to assess how much damage has been done. If a section of pipe is too far gone, we repair or replace it so the problem does not return next season.
