Best Drain Repair in Milwaukee WI

DO NOT USE!

My previous interactions with Viking were all undone by my most recent transaction with them. I was quoted $618 by one of their plumbers for the installation of a utility sink. I thought the price was a good one and I chose not to seek out any other bids.

Imagine my surprise when I received a bill in the mail for $1,100! When I called Viking to question the nearly double invoice, I was told that $618 wasn't their price and I must be mistaken.

I could understand if things took a bit longer than expected and the price crept up to the $700, even $800 mark, but the near 100% increase from what I was told by a member of their staff that the organization declined to stand behind ensures that I will never use them again, and I would encourage you to do the same.

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!

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.

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.

Fantastic service!  I would give Chris more stars if the ratings allowed it.  Had a water flow issue affecting shower and taps. Two other plumbers couldn't diagnose the problem. Chris did and made himself available during the process. For a master plumber his rates are reasonable, he's persistent in solving the problem and is a nice guy. Definitely our go to guy for all plumbing needs.  Thanks Chris.

Five stars for this company. I've been using them for a year now and each time it's really great. They are so responsive, professional, neat and knowledgeable. I especially appreciate the communication from the office staff! Highly recommend Milestone.

My review is about their responsiveness to providing a quote.    First,  the overall communication was great.  Despite my tight schedule,  we found a time that worked. I work during the day and I get a lot phone calls and spam calls.  Thus,  often I cannot answer the phone  if I am juggling texts and a video call.   The caller ID does not help with some businesses.  I confirmed an appointment with Mr Rooter for around 1 pm on Friday via email and Yelp text.  Now, I totally get it that with the price of gas,  no one wants to make a trip to a home and no one is there.  But,  I lived out in the wilds of Massachusetts and business would show up for the scheduled time.  Only, in Wisconsin have I experienced two companies who did not come to the house because I did not answer their phone call.  One of which I had already paid for the job! Thus, I appreciated  despite the fact that I could not answer the same day just-to-make-sure-you are-there phone call, Mr Rooter came at the scheduled time,  on a Friday with nice weather. I figured out how the get the work done without a plumber,  but I will call Mr Rooter for my next job.

Want to be taken advantage of and defrauded? This is the company for you!!!  Called them because I saw some corrosion on the pipe under my sink.   Tech showed up and told me he estimates $325.  I figured this would be a bit of a time consuming job.  20 min later, he's done. Cut off and replaced 1/2 an inch of iron pipe with pvc.  Did not bother to check a bit deeper into the wall to find that the corrosion on the visible part is the same behind the wall.  When I called the office to ask why such a high charge for 20 min of work, I was told we sent you a tech the same day.  Right, because he was working another job right down the street.  Even with a service charge and min 1 hour, you still can't get to $325.  Did i mention I then had to have another plumbing company out to actually do the job this company didn't??  Never ever ever again. Disgusting.  Wish I could give negative stars

Contacted this company on the recommendation of a local plumber.  They did clear the drain problem using a snake thru the trap/pipes however the trap appears not to have been appropriately reattached (or was damaged)  resulting in drywall damage under the drain to the ceiling below.  Company did not respond to several attempts to reach them for correction of this problem including use of their insurance to repair the drywall damage. Would not recommend this company.  If they correct, will change review.

I called them for and estimate for a drain spout to see if the drain was broken or damage, so the guy told me that the Service charge is 65$ but if he did the work he would wave the fees, so I said ok! He came over only to tell me that everything looked really good with out doing any testing of any kind!  So I said , well since you're already here why don't u just sneak it out any ways right? He shows me his chart of prices. If would cost me about 800$ for 30 feet only! Really? And he demanded to get pay for nothing ! Watch out big scam!

Zero stars. Overpriced and did not clear my pipes in September. Charged for things the plumber did not do. They do not guarantee their work and refused to come fix the problem. Because of them I had continued sewer backup and property damage. New plumber came out today and found that Milwaukee Plumbing had only opened a small hole in the blockage and had not cleared it.

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.

As stated in a previous review the owner of Wilkes is scary!  He has no qualms about being rude to customers if he feels in the right!  They do good work-the plumbers that work for him are nice- he is not!  I would steer clear and hire another company that's more professional because if the owner shows up on your job and there is a discrepancy- heaven help you- short fuse!
