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!

Very affordable. Jon helped with lighting fixtures and changing out non-functional smoke alarms. He was knowledgeable, prompt, and communicated effectively. I will not hesitate to call again for future needs. Highly recommend.

Dan has (unfortunately, yet thankfully) been to my house several times to unclog my drain in the basement whenever it backed up. Day or night, I even called him on either Christmas Day or Eve, and he came out right away. Dan cares about his customers and always goes to great lengths to provide quality service and also provides references for bigger projects, for example, for me to get my tubing replaced in the basement, so that my drain doesn't keep on getting clogged. Anytime you need any sort of drain service, please call Dan!

Reliable and efficient. All work is done carefully and meticulously! Responsive to all questions

Chris from Urban Plumbing came to give us a quote to fix our whirlpool tub. We had a different plumbing company come out twice, spending 3 plus hours to diagnose what was wrong and to tell us the whole tub would need to be replaced... It took Chris looking at the tub for a total of 20 minutes(10 of which was filling the tub enough to cause the problem we were experiencing) to find out what the actual problem was. It needed no parts to fix... Chris was extremely professional, punctual, and knowledgable. I highly recommend calling Urban Plumbing for your plumbing needs.

It was very reasonably priced for the work done too!

Backed up sewer in basement! I called early Sunday night and he was at my house within 45 minutes. Was so fast not that bad for what he had do to yuck I cannot say enough. Glad it was so quick worth every penny!

Drains R Us saved the day.  I was having sewer issues, they went out of their way to make room in their schedule and take care of me.  They really know their stuff.  I've worked with a lot of plumbers over the years, and these guys are the best.  They were on-time, professional, and left everything clean, even after pulling horrific sludge from my sewer pipes.  If you need a plumber that is going to get it right, call these guys.  I've saved their number in my phone and put their magnet on my fridge.

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.

Scott did an excellent job installing my new A/C. I also had Horsch & Miller install a new hot water heater in my home and again another excellent job. They are do a very through job and are reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them!

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

I wouldn't recommend this time wasting company.

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.

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.

Today is Wednesday night.  We had been without a water heater since early Saturday.  2 friends of the family had looked at it and couldn't find the problem.  It was time to call a professional.  My fiance scheduled an appointment with a heating and cooling company that said they could fix the problem.  They came out at 1pm and basically said, Sorry you need to call a plumber.  She was frustrated.  She had explained over the phone what the problem was...why did they schedule the appointment?  So I think fast from work.  I look up Water Heater Repair on Yelp in the Milwaukee area.  3 companies come up which are all actually one company.  Cudahy Plumbing, Service Now, and B. Bohmann Plumbing.  All three companies are part of the Bohmann Plumbing Company.  

I call and get through right away to B. Bohmann himself.  He can get someone out to our house today.  Just needs my fiance to call him with some info from the water heater.  She does that and is told someone will be out by 4pm.  There is a charge for the home service call and also a separate charge for the diagnostic tests they will run on the water heater.  Ok fine.  We just want it fixed.

The technician shows up on time and runs the tests.  My fiance is told that we have a faulty gas valve and it will cost 400 and some odd dollars to replace...but...he doesn't have one and we will have to wait till tomorrow.  (Their website says, Stocked Service Vehicles - Our rolling shop comes to your home fully stocked and equipped to perform the needed repairs. No running around town for parts wasting your time!)  Ummmm...no.

She wants it taken care of today.  With the replacement of the gas valve cost plus the home service fee plus the diagnostic test fee she asks what it would  cost to replace the whole water heater.  Oh sure.  He has one in his truck.  He quotes her a price.  Fine.  She'll take it.  How long till it's in?  Oh that's a 2 hour job.

A couple of hours after the appointment started she calls me.  He can't get the old water heater out.  It's too heavy and there are pipes that are too close.  He is banging it all around trying to get it out and he can't do it.  I'm also told that he called his boss to tell him he needed help and was told to do it himself...everyone is busy.  She is frustrated.  She calls the company.  The boss answers.  She tells him what is happening.  That his technician will not be able to get our old water heater out by himself.  B. Bohmann tells her that his technician is a big boy and he can do it.  Also stating that you are not the only people in Milwaukee who are having problems right now.  That he is at an emergency call and his other techs are also out right now.  She calls me in tears.

Now I'm on the road...on the way home to see if I can help the tech out.  I call B. Bohmann and tell him that he left my fiance in tears after their conversation and I'm told that I told her straight how it is.  I'm sorry but I don't give out flowers.  I'm sorry she is so sensitive, but I'm with a client right now and it's an emergency call.  I tell him that part of running a business is providing customer service and that he is not providing that to us.  He states that his company provides what they promise.  I state no, we are buying a new water heater and we were told it's a 2 hour job.  He states you will get your water heater.  I ask when?  He says tonight.  Mind you it's already 7pm.  

I get home and at first try to figure out how I can help this tech.  He states that he understands that we are upset and that his boss treated my wife rudely.  (He doesn't know I called his boss.)  He says that is not the way it is supposed to go.

After a quick consultation with my fiance we decide we don't want this company's water heater.  We just want to be done with them.  As the tech is packing up I hear him talking to himself saying he should find a new job.  That his boss has done this before with other clients.  I ask him how much the charge is.  He says that if we want to pay him for his work he would charge us for the home service fee and the diagnostic fee.  I decide to pay it just to be done with this company all together.  I don't want Mr. Brian Bohmann to come back to us and claim we owed him money.

So we get ready to retire to another night at home without hot water.  BUT WAIT.  The truck comes back about 15 minutes later.  The tech lost the lock on the back of his truck and he was wondering if it fell in our driveway.  But he states you have already been through enough tonight.  Still I get a flashlight and search the driveway.  No lock.  He says he must have lost it on the road and wishes me a good night.  Too late for that...

Requested a bid on a major remodeling project. Estimator was grumpy and seemed a little confused. He took some measurements, complained about a heat duct (which we told him we would take care of), and informed us that we would receive an estimate in two weeks. It has been several months and we have received neither a bid nor the basic courtesy of a no bid response. Give these guys a pass and go with the smaller local firms unless you are a multi-millionaire.

This company endangered the safety of my family and our home. We hired them to upgrade some natural gas plumbing in our basement on 5/8/2018. They also replaced a kitchen sink faucet and relocated a water filter. Several hours after they were paid and left, my son detected an odor of natural gas.  Feeling it was lingering gas from the abandoned gas line, we vented the basement using the bathroom fan. The odor only got worse. I called the office, it was closed and the voicemail was full. I checked their website and it did not list an emergency phone number! I had no choice but to contact WE Energies our utility company. They dispatched an emergency technician to our home. He found 4 MAJOR leaks, tagged them and locked our meter. It is now 24 hours later, we cannot bathe/shower, cook, wash dishes and wash and dry our clothes. During the work, a ceiling tile was broken that they ignored to tell us about and the ceiling tiles that were moved to gain access to complete the work were not put back in place. Totally unsafe, unprofessional work. And, I was never provided a contract or a receipt upon completion of the work. All I have is an emailed estimate. The plumber came back this morning to rectify the leaks but they cannot be confirmed until the utility company unlocks the meter. You can't make stuff like this up!!

They cost me just under $1,000 in furnace repairs because they did not install the furnace correctly. I purchased a brand new Payne furnace from Zien. They assured this was a great furnace and very robust and dependable. After 1 year the furnace stopped working! They assessed the cause of the failure and it was caused from their incorrect installation. Guess what!?! Then they charged me to fix it! I had no choice but to pay them because it was zero degrees and I needed the furnace fixed ASAP. I tried to get them to cover the cost of repair after the fact and they not only did not oblige, their customer service rep (Chaz) was very disrespectful! I even sent a letter to the owner of the company and he refused to help. Zien has been around for a while and yet not registered with the Better Business Bureau...now I know why. Stay away from this company for any needs! They do not stand by their products or service!
