Best Drain Installation in Milwaukee WI

I read numerous positive reviews on Thumbtack regarding water softener repairs by this outfit, and I'm VERY pleased to say Waterfoul Plumbing did not disappoint!  Corey was very professional, very courteous, and corrected our issue. Because our softener is 20+ years old, I figured we would have to purchase a new one, however, Corey indicated the unit was fine but just needed a new part. He corrected our issue within an hour. He's also very reasonable in terms of price. Waterfoul is now our go-to for all of our plumbing needs. Thanks, Corey!

Our kitchen sink was leaking, and when I closed the shut-off valves under the sink, they leaked, too. I called and was able to get a same-day appointment. Dan was very friendly and professional, and the price was very reasonable. I am very satisfied with the results and would gladly hire him again.

Chris was more than accommodating as he made room in his schedule to fit us in - and replace a leaking water heater. We were highly satisfied with his work, his willingness to explain the functionality of the water heater but also our water softener, and he was very price competitive with our vendors we called.

We most assuredly would call him back for any indoor plumbing problem.

I agree with what many reviewers have said about MIlestone: They're great at explaining what's going on, what work they're going to do, and they're always available in an emergency.  When I needed an urgent fix for a leaking hot water pipe in my basement, Milestone was the first to respond and seemed to have a competitive rate for the work.  The problem came at the end of the repair when I was charged for the 30 minutes the repairman spent filling out paperwork in his truck **AND** the work order was rounded up to the nearest hour.  My cost concerns were amplified when I took a bid for re-piping my basement.   Milestone's bid to do the work with a less-expensive material was considerably higher than a competitive bid to do the work with copper.

I can't fault MIlestone's workmanship or responsiveness, but you will pay a premium price for these.

We recently moved into a house and this was our first time hiring a plumber.  That being said, it was daunting to decide who we wanted to go with.  Jay from Norman's Home Improvements made the decision easier for us, as he was thoughtful and willing to discuss our possible plumbing issues right away, before even booking an appointment.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norman's to anyone who was looking for assistance.  Our experience was a good one, and our issue was resolved with one visit.  The total cost was especially reasonable, and we feel we learned a lot in the process - it is always a great thing when someone is willing to explain things to you and answer questions, versus just completing the job.  

I reached out to numerous plumbers and companies, but Jay's response stood out right away.  While most people were happy to give me a (fairly high) ballpark quote which left me wondering if I would be taken advantage of for my lack of plumbing knowledge, Jay was happy to discuss the possibilities of why our kitchen sink had stopped working for no apparent reason ahead of time, before even booking an appointment.  He was able to come take a look at our sink just a couple of days later, on a Friday evening.  He spent some time discussing the plumbing of our house with us in general, which was extremely helpful as we only moved a few weeks ago.  He was happy to answer questions and make sure we understood things, which we really appreciated.  He was professional and explained the cost ahead of time after diagnosing the issue and prior to completing additional work beyond the base service fee for the visit.  

Norman's Home Improvements was a good first experience for us, and I would gladly hire them in the future for additional work.  In addition to plumbing, they also do work on electrical, HVAC, and carpentry.  We would highly recommend Norman's and we especially appreciated the willingness to not only perform the work but explain the process to us as well.

Never again will I use them. One of the first things I asked was if there a cost/charge for someone to come out and was told NO. According to them it takes 48 hours before you get a receipt! I received what they would call service on a Monday and by Friday STILL didn't have a receipt. I had to call and request it! I review the receipt and there's a charge for a vehicle surcharge!!! $29.99. Now you lie and you're not honest about what and how you charge? My issue was a tub faucet that was draining. I was charged $280 when the issue wasn't completely fixed. That faucet is STILL DRIPPING. The tech leaves my home TWICE for parts. The first time he left he later realized that I HAD THE PARTS ALREADY on the counter sitting next to him. He spent too much time looking for parts that ultimately didn't even fix the issue. THEN when he sees that he didn't fix the issue he told me that an estimate would be sent to me for what it would take to completely fix the issue. The tech also relayed that Mr Rooter would take the bill from that day and deduct what I paid that day from the estimate since the issue wasn't completely fixed. At the end of his 'service' he had no problem taking my credit card info but from the field couldn't provide a receipt?? What is that?! Guess what else I had to call for? The estimate that I was told would be sent to me. The tech also said that I'd get a call about this estimate but NAH didn't happen. I had to call to track down that estimate too! The estimate didn't include a discounted cost including what I just paid this week. Mr. Rooter is full of lies and I'll never spend another dime with this company. Look elsewhere for your plumbing needs.

We had a collapsed sewage pipe that was causing a backup in our basement, we called Ihn plumbing, and they were out to the house within a couple hours and had the problem diagnosed fixed quickly. Pricing was reasonable, and Mike and Annie were fantastic to work with. Would definitely recommend them for any plumbing job you have.

Poor customer service. Called for an estimate and was told that there would be a $59 fee that would be credited to my account if I accepted the estimate. Told him that I was checking around and other plumbers were willing to provide an estimate without charging a fee and he hung up on me. Don't waste your time on this guy.

Pipe Master came to unplug our slow toilet (31 January 2018).  They could not and instead replaced the toilet with a new one.  For this and some minor stuff we were charged $870.38.   In December 2018, we called Pipe Master back because the toilet was leaking.  Although this was less than a year from installation, we were charged $174.24.  Now, in April 2019, four months later, the toilet is leaking again.  Now Pipe Master has refused to answer my phone calls (three voice mail messages) and an email.  We feel we are being cheated.   We will contact a trustworthy plumber this time.

I called Ben to unclog my bathroom drain. He arrived around 9:30 a.m. He told me it was clogged in the sewer line and he would have to snake it. He started snaking the sewer drain. After a couple hours I asked him how it was going, and he said it was bad but he thought he could get it. I checked on him every couple hours after that and he said he thought he could clear the clog. At around 5 or 6 o'clock he told me he thought the sewer pipe was BROKEN outside the house and he wouldn't be able to fix it today. He gave me a 5 THOUSAND DOLLAR QUOTE!!!!! to fix the sewer pipe. So, I asked how much I owed him for the day, and he charged me $850 and didn't accomplish anything. He was also on his cellphone about 90% of the time. The next day I had Roto Rooter come in and they cleared my CLOGGED sewer pipe by the end of the day. The sewer pipe was never broken. I would never have or recommend flow rite do any plumbing in my house.

Thank you so much for the tremendous work you did in our basement on the sewer line! You were all above and beyond courteous; keeping us in the loop every step of the way and only leaving us without water or facilities for a very limited amount of time. This was a new experience for us and we are renting so it was really great to be kept so informed.

The last phase of everything was contracted out but the company you used for that part was amazing as well. Hats off to you, your business, staff, and old school great customer service! We will recommend you whenever we can.

No stars. I have used them for over 10 years for 10 apartment units. And I always thought they were pricy. I had water coming through my walls one day at our home. I called them.  The guy showed up...at 5. And told me he has other plans but it was ok. So he explained that he was at time and a half as I was holding my 6 month old. Well I don't know what to say. We need our plumbing to work. So he didn't even fix it that day. Came back. Same mood. Whatever. But I got the bill...
And they charged me $149 for parts and $557 for labor!!   Total bill almost $800. 3 months later we still had a leak. I called and said I think your friendly plumber cracked our pipe. They disagreed. I called another plumber who happens to be an OSHA instructor. Came to look at it. Even took pics for his class on what not to do. So disappointed!!  I even explained my disappointment.  They didn't offer to make it right, nor seem to care that they lost all my business.  I will never use them again!!  Don't bother even dialing their number. They may have a wedding to go to on the weekend. And can't help you anyway. I heard that one too.
Just awful!!!!!

Went to speak with owner about plumbing work. No call no show twice.

I wouldn't recommend this time wasting company.

I had Wilkes come out in via my home warranty service to take a look at my Jacuzzi tub that was randomly turning on by itself.   They came when my parents were there and left without a comment and so I assumed it was fixed.  

After a week it came back on again and I had to follow up with Wilkes where they said they had to come back out since they couldn't get to it directly and had to go through the basement ceiling.  They came back out again, charged me more money for the 2nd trip, and said it was fixed.  Side note, they had to call a third party Jacuzzi service for advice on how to fix it.  

A few months later the same problem started again and I called them to see if they would come out and fix it but to my surprise said that because it has been over 60 days, that I'd have to either make another claim with the home warranty service or hire them direct at $60 per trip + $110 per hour.  They do not do a quality job to start or on the 2nd time around nor do they warranty their work more than 60 days so I would definitely not recommend this company.

The only reason I am writing this review is because I reached out to John without getting a response. In September I paid John $175.00 to weatherize my windows, he went around with a caulk gun and put caulk around my windows. Not knowing if that was what weatherization is I paid the man. Fast forward, all my windows still have the same draft coming in that it had the previous year. I texted the numbers I used prior to the so call work being completed, to let him know I still have a draft. No one has tried to respond to my concerns. I will tell everyone do not use Handyman John!!!
