Staying ahead of plumbing problems keeps your home dry. We cover the everyday plumbing work that homeowners and businesses in Waukesha County rely on, from a slow drain in the kitchen to a full pipe replacement. Work is performed by licensed plumbers, and every job is handled to code. We'll handle the pipes so you don't have to.
A slow drain rarely fixes itself. Bathroom clogs, kitchen backups, and main line blockages all get worse over time if they're left alone. When we come out, we assess the drain, clear the blockage, and check for anything that might be causing the problem to repeat. Grease buildup, hair, and tree root intrusion are common culprits in older Waukesha homes. We'll get the line moving and let you know if there's a bigger issue worth addressing.
Hearing a running toilet or a drip behind the wall? A hidden leak can do serious damage before it shows up on the surface. Watch for water stains on ceilings, unexplained spikes in your water bill, or soft spots near walls and floors. We locate the source and repair it cleanly, whether it's a supply line, a fitting, or a section of pipe that's given out. Getting it found and fixed early keeps the damage contained.
No hot water is one of the most disruptive plumbing problems a household or business can face. We handle tank and tankless water heater repair, and when a unit is beyond saving, we handle the full replacement. If your water heater is making noise, running out of hot water too quickly, or not producing any at all, a service call will tell you what you're dealing with and what it costs to fix it.
A running toilet wastes more water than most people expect, and a dripping faucet adds up fast on a water bill. We repair and replace toilets, fix leaky and dripping faucets, and handle new fixture installs throughout the home or property. Whether it's a single-family house, a rental unit, or a commercial restroom, we get the fixtures working properly and leave the space clean.
A main line backup affects every drain in the building at once. We clear main line clogs, inspect sewer lines with a camera when needed, and repair or replace damaged sections of pipe. If your sewer line runs to a septic tank, we handle the line itself. We keep our work on the pipe, making sure it's clear, intact, and flowing the way it should.
Older homes in Waukesha often have galvanized steel pipes that have corroded over time. Corroded pipes cause low water pressure, discolored water, and leaks that keep coming back. We replace galvanized lines with copper or PEX, and we handle whole-house repiping when the system is past the point of patchwork repairs. It's a bigger job, but it solves the problem at the root.
Some of the most common service calls involve jobs that don't fit a single category. We repair and install garbage disposals, replace shutoff valves that are stuck or leaking, and diagnose low water pressure throughout the home. We also install frost-free hose bibs and service well pump and pressure tank systems for properties outside the municipal water supply. If something isn't working the way it should, a call gets you a straight answer on what it takes to fix it.
Wisconsin winters are hard on pipes. Waukesha County sees deep sub-freezing temperatures every year, and the freeze-thaw cycles that come with spring create their own set of problems. Most homes here sit on basements, which means groundwater and snowmelt are ongoing concerns. The services below come up constantly in this area, and we're set up to handle all three.
When temperatures drop hard and fast, pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated areas are at real risk of freezing. A frozen pipe that bursts can release a significant amount of water in a short time. If you suspect a frozen pipe, shut off the main water supply and call right away. We locate the affected section, assess the damage, and make the repair. Same-day plumbing service is available for burst pipe emergencies, so don't wait it out.
Basement flooding is a common concern across Waukesha County, especially during spring snowmelt and heavy rain. A sump pump keeps groundwater from rising into the basement, and when it fails, the results can be expensive. We install new sump pumps, replace aging units that are no longer keeping up, and check the discharge line and pit while we're on site. If your pump is running constantly or not running at all, it's worth having it looked at before the next storm season.
The best time to address frozen pipe risk is before the cold hits. We insulate exposed pipes in basements, garages, and exterior walls, and we winterize outdoor lines and hose bibs before the first hard freeze. Pipe insulation and winterization is straightforward work that prevents a much more expensive emergency call in January. If you haven't had it done and winter is coming, it's worth scheduling sooner rather than later.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. We're available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM for emergency plumbing calls, including weekends. Burst pipes, major leaks, and sudden water heater failures don't wait for a convenient time, and we don't make you wait long to get help. When you call, you'll get a real person, a straight answer on what we can do, and a price before anything is scheduled. We'll get your water flowing again fast.
Doing plumbing work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, whether you manage a single rental property or a multi-unit building. We work with landlords, property managers, apartment complexes, restaurants, and office spaces throughout the Waukesha area. Commercial plumbing problems move fast, and a clogged main line or a failed water heater in a commercial kitchen can shut down operations quickly. We bring experienced plumbers on every callout, so the diagnosis is right the first time and the repair holds up under daily use.
We handle commercial drain cleaning, commercial water heater installation, sewer line service, and the full range of fixture and pipe work that commercial properties need. Landlords and property managers can count on straightforward pricing and clear communication about what the job involves and what it costs.
Built for homeowners. Ready for property managers. Ready for your pipes.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and knowing what a repair costs before committing is part of making a good decision. When you call, you'll get a price on the phone before anything is scheduled. We tell you what the work involves, what it costs, and what to expect. Plumbing repair costs vary depending on the job, the materials, and how accessible the pipes are, and we give you a straight answer rather than a vague range. We stand behind every pipe and fixture we touch. We'll sort the plumbing and clean up after.
We serve Waukesha and the surrounding communities throughout Waukesha County. That includes Brookfield, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc, Menomonee Falls, New Berlin, Muskego, and Mukwonago, along with the neighborhoods and rural properties in between. You're talking to someone who knows the area and the older pipes in it. Whether you're in a newer subdivision or a century-old home near downtown Waukesha, we know what to expect when we arrive and we come prepared for it.
Call (262) 955-2282 and describe what is happening. We will confirm what we can do, give you a price on the phone, and work out the scheduling before anything is set. Same-day plumbing service is available for most calls, so if the problem cannot wait, that is the conversation to have right away.
Yes. When you call, you reach a real person who can take the details of the job, answer questions about the work, and give you a price before anything is scheduled. There is no automated menu to navigate and no waiting for a callback to start the conversation. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
Call (262) 955-2282 and tell us what you are dealing with. We ask about the problem, the location in the home, and any details that affect the scope, then give you a price before we schedule anything. Plumbing costs vary by job, and the honest answer is that the quote happens on the phone rather than on a webpage.
Yes. We are open every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday, from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM. Weekend calls are handled the same way as any other day: call, describe the problem, get a price, and confirm the appointment. If you need a plumber on a Saturday or Sunday, call and we will tell you what is available.
Pricing is based on the work involved, not the square footage of the home. A single drain cleaning costs the same whether the house has one bathroom or four. When you call, we ask about the specific job and give you the rate for that work before we schedule anything.
Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, apartment complexes, restaurants, and small commercial buildings across Waukesha and Waukesha County. The work and the process are the same: describe the problem, get a price on the phone, and confirm the scope before a licensed plumber shows up.
Someone should be available to provide access and confirm the scope of the work before the job starts. If you cannot be present, let us know when you call and we can talk through what access arrangements make sense for your situation. The price is confirmed before we schedule, and you are told exactly what the visit covers before anything is booked.
Common signs include low water pressure, discolored or rust-tinted water, recurring leaks at multiple points, or pipes that are visibly corroded. Many older homes in the Waukesha area still have galvanized steel supply lines that have done a lot of work over the years and can reach a point where patching individual spots no longer makes sense. A service call gives you a clear picture of what the pipes look like and what the options are.
Yes. Work performed by licensed plumbers is done to code on every job, whether it is a single fixture repair or a whole-house repipe. Code-compliant plumbing is the baseline expectation, not an upgrade. If a job requires a permit, that is part of the conversation when we scope the work.
Dave's Plumbing & Heating is ready to take your call. Reach a real person, get a price on the phone, and confirm your appointment before we show up. No guesswork, no waiting around for a callback that never comes.
Simple booking. Clear pricing. Sound, lasting pipes.
