A Southern California contractor has rebranded and expanded its offerings after building a reputation as a trusted partner for major insurance companies. System Wide Services, formerly Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Long Beach, which relaunched under its new name on January 15, 2026, now provides comprehensive home maintenance solutions spanning plumbing, electrical work, and general handyman services.
The veteran-owned and women-owned company has distinguished itself in the crowded contractor market through a particular specialty: automatic water shutoff systems. With more than 1,100 installations across Southern California, the business has become one of the region’s largest installer of these preventive Plumbing systems, which insurance agencies increasingly view as essential for protecting homes from water damage.
That expertise hasn’t gone unnoticed. The company has earned preferred contractor status with A-rated national insurance carriers, a designation that reflects both the quality of work and reliability that insurers demand. BusinessRate named it the Best Plumbing Company in Cerritos 2025, adding another credential to its growing list of industry recognition.
From Plumbing to Full-Service Home Solutions
The rebrand represents a strategic expansion beyond the company’s plumbing roots. Their full-service plumbing, electrical, and handyman solutions now include everything from leak detection and water heater installation to electrical panel upgrades and whole-house rewiring. They’ve also added EV charger installation to meet growing demand from electric vehicle owners.
The handyman division tackles projects that many specialized contractors avoid: tile work, interior and exterior painting, drywall repair, bathroom remodels and general home repairs. The company has also carved out expertise in accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plumbing, electrical and bathroom remodels, three areas seeing increased demand as homeowners look to add value and functionality to their properties.
Built on Integrity
The company’s leadership emphasizes a family-centered approach to business, stating they aim to “bring integrity to the industry one family at a time.” That philosophy appears to resonate with a diverse client base that includes homeowners, commercial buildings, HOAs, property managers, realtors, general contractors, and insurance professionals.
The veteran and women-owned contractor serves as a one-stop shop for insurance agencies dealing with claims and preventive maintenance, a role that has helped differentiate it from competitors focused on single trades.
Growth Plans
With its expanded service portfolio and established reputation, the company is preparing for geographic expansion. Plans call for extending operations into San Diego and the Inland Empire, regions where demand for reliable home repair and maintenance services continues to grow.
The expansion timing aligns with the company’s recent rebrand, positioning System Wide Services to capture market share in new territories while maintaining the specialized expertise that earned recognition from insurance carriers and industry evaluators alike.
