Dave's Plumbing & Heating is the plumbing contractor Waukesha homeowners and commercial property managers call when something goes wrong with the pipes, the drains, the water heater, or anything in between. We work across Waukesha and the surrounding communities throughout Waukesha County, handling the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work, from a slow kitchen drain to a burst pipe that needs attention today. Work is performed by licensed plumbers on every callout, and we're set up to handle both the quick fix and the larger job that takes more planning.
Built for homeowners. Ready for property managers. Ready for your pipes.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and that means getting the diagnosis right before anything else. Waukesha has a mix of housing stock that spans several decades, and older homes in the area often come with galvanized steel or early copper supply lines that have done a lot of work over the years. Knowing what pipe materials are common here, how the local water chemistry affects them, and what failure patterns show up in homes built in different eras changes how a job gets approached.
You're talking to someone who knows the area and the older pipes in it.
Whether the call is for a leaking supply line under the kitchen sink, a main line backup in a commercial building, or a water heater that stopped producing hot water overnight, we handle it the same way: diagnose the problem, explain what the fix involves, confirm the price before anything starts, and do the work correctly. Code-compliant plumbing is not a selling point here. It is the baseline expectation on every job.
We'll handle the pipes so you don't have to.
Hearing a running toilet or a drip behind the wall? Those are the calls we get most often, and they are the ones worth taking seriously before a small problem turns into a bigger one. We cover the full range of residential and commercial plumbing repair and installation, including:
Same-day plumbing service is available, so if the problem cannot wait, call and we will work out the scheduling on the phone.
We'll get your water flowing again fast.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call, and that is especially true for water heater calls. No hot water is one of the most disruptive plumbing failures a household or commercial property can deal with, and it is one of the calls we respond to quickly.
We work on both tank water heaters and tankless water heater systems, covering repairs, full replacements, and new installations. A tank unit that is leaking from the base, not heating adequately, or making noise that it did not used to make is often signaling that it is at or near the end of its service life. A tankless unit that has stopped firing or is producing inconsistent temperatures usually has a specific component that needs attention rather than a full replacement.
When a water heater call comes in, we assess whether a repair makes sense given the age and condition of the unit, or whether a replacement is the more practical path. We carry that conversation before scheduling, so you know what you are looking at before anyone shows up. Emergency water heater replacement is available within our published hours, every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
Staying ahead of plumbing problems keeps your home dry, but some problems do not wait for a convenient time. A burst pipe, a major leak, a sewer backup, or a complete loss of hot water are not situations where waiting a few days makes sense.
We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM, including weekends. During those hours, we take calls for urgent plumbing situations alongside scheduled work. That covers burst pipe repair, emergency drain cleaning when a backup is causing an active problem, emergency pipe repair, and water heater replacement when the unit has failed entirely.
When you call, describe what is happening and we will work out how quickly we can get someone to you. We stand behind every pipe and fixture we touch, and that starts with showing up prepared to do the job correctly the first time.
Pick the date. We do the plumbing. We clean up after.
Doing plumbing work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, whether the property is a single-family home or a multi-unit building with more complex plumbing demands. Property managers, landlords, and facilities contacts for small commercial buildings have specific needs that are different from a typical homeowner call: the work needs to get done with minimal disruption, the scope needs to be clear before anything starts, and communication needs to be straightforward.
We handle commercial drain cleaning, commercial water heater installation and replacement, commercial leak detection, and general plumbing repair and installation across a range of property types. For rental properties and apartment buildings, we work with the contact managing the property, confirm the scope and pricing before scheduling, and carry out the work without leaving the property in a worse state than we found it.
If you manage properties in Waukesha or elsewhere in Waukesha County and need a plumber you can call reliably, that is exactly the kind of relationship we are set up to support.
We'll sort the plumbing and clean up after.
Plumbing calls come with a lot of questions about cost, and we answer them directly. When you call, you get the rate for the work before anything is scheduled. The price is confirmed against the scope of the job, so you know what the call covers and what it does not before a plumber shows up at the door.
If the job turns out to be more involved than it appeared from the initial description, that gets discussed before the work continues, not after. Ask what the quote covers and you will get a straight answer.
Common questions we hear: what does a plumber cost for a drain cleaning, how much does a water heater replacement run, what is the rate for a leak detection call? Those are all questions we answer on the phone, not after the fact.
Simple booking. Clear pricing. Sound, lasting pipes.
We serve Waukesha and the surrounding communities throughout Waukesha County, including:
If your property is in the wider county area and you are not sure whether we cover your location, call and ask. The service area extends well beyond the city limits of Waukesha, and most of the county falls within our regular coverage.
It means the person who shows up knows the area, the common pipe materials in homes of different eras here, and the kinds of problems that show up most often in Waukesha County. That local knowledge changes how a job gets approached, from knowing what to expect behind the walls of an older home to understanding how the local water chemistry affects fixtures and water heaters over time. You get a plumber who is prepared for what is actually there, not a generic visit that starts from scratch.
Waukesha's housing stock spans several decades, and older homes often carry galvanized steel or early copper supply lines that behave differently from modern materials. Knowing what pipe types are common in homes of a given age, how the local water chemistry affects them, and what failure patterns show up most often here changes how we approach a diagnosis. That kind of familiarity with the area shortens the time between arrival and a correct answer.
We work with homeowners dealing with everyday repairs and emergencies, landlords who need rental units kept functional, property managers overseeing multi-unit buildings, and small commercial properties with more complex plumbing demands. The process is the same across all of them: confirm the scope, give a price before scheduling, and carry out the work correctly. We are set up to handle both the one-time homeowner call and the ongoing relationship with a property management contact.
Before the work starts, we confirm what the job involves and what it costs. If we open a wall or access a pipe and find something that changes the scope, that conversation happens before the work continues. At the end of the visit, we explain what was done and why, so you have a clear picture of what was repaired and what condition the rest of the system is in.
Clear communication at every stage is the biggest factor. That starts with a thorough conversation on the phone before scheduling, continues with a licensed plumber who arrives prepared for the job as described, and ends with a clean workspace and a clear explanation of what was done. When the scope is well understood before anyone shows up, the visit runs efficiently and the results hold up.
When you call to schedule, we confirm the appointment window before we get off the phone. Same-day service is available for many calls, and for scheduled work we set a window that accounts for the jobs ahead of yours. If anything changes on our end, we communicate that before the window closes rather than after.
Yes. We handle the full range of plumbing work, from a single fixture repair to a whole-house repipe or a commercial water heater installation. Larger jobs get scoped carefully before scheduling, and we confirm the timeline and pricing with you before any work begins. Licensed plumbers handle every callout, whether the job takes an hour or a full day.
