Best Plumbing Services 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!

Very professional, clean, and quick, no hidden charges, same day service, reasonable rates, honest opinion and offered suggestions on how to save costs. He had all necessary materials with him.  I would highly recommend his service especially in an emergency.

Absolutely outstanding service! They came as a recommendation from a coworker. I own a duplex and had an issue with the upper unit kitchen sink clog. It turned out to be a little more labor intensive than snaking a drain (which I had tried myself).

Turned out there were pipes that had rusted through and were also leaking. They were so knowledgeable in explaining to me what was going on and making sure that I understood. They were so professional and nice, they cleaned up their work when they were done. They even had a come back on a second day to finish fixing the problem because they had to go into the ceiling of the lower unit.

They were very accommodating with me and my schedule. I am so happy with the job they did and they're pricing is completely fair and reasonable that I will forever call upon them for any future plumbing needs! Excellent experience!!!

I recently had my whole bathroom remodeled. A full tear out including electrical and plumbing issues. Jay was professional and did a fantastic job! He was busy re-routing and installing plumbing. Upgraded electricity and fixed unsafe electrical issues. A beast of a job. He was detailed oriented, very informative, valued my family's safety, and stayed as long as it was needed to complete the job. We are incredibly pleased with Jay and his work! Definitely calling him in the future.

I and my family have used them for many years in a variety of situations.  They have always done quality work and were fair regarding the price they charge for the work they do .  I would strongly recommend them, especially if its an emergency situation.

Please note: This is all my opinion - based on thought, text messaging, voicemails, & actual verbal discussion. I am sure I am in no way fully innocent either and do not claim to be. Just wanted to prevent other potential frustrations.  Request response: ...2 options...cut the pipe and use a rubber coupling or try to remove it from the wall which is the better way but would take longer - quoted price $400 or less. 6.8: Jeff came to install. When leaving, asked if pay was cash/check, discount with cash. Price dropped $50 - he didn't have correct change, he increased charge to meet his change. Didn't have receipts on hand, wrote an artificial one on another company's paper, stating he'd drop one off that night - never dropped off, told it was going to be 'tomorrow'. 6.9: Still no receipt. Promise(d) to drop one off Sunday. 6.11: Jeff at our neighbors house, said hi while there - didn't leave a receipt for us, stated he didn't have any more, he would pick some receipts up & mail one today. We continued to inquire about the charge as only rubber couplings were placed, not actual new piping - what the $400 quote was for - less if he did the couplings. No response. 6.12: Message resent. Response - he didn't know what we were asking. Reminded, still no receipt & questioned charges. No response. Message resent & asking if he would meet us on a pricing point. 6.13: Multiple messages sent, no response.  We requested to meet at $250 - absolutely not. We asked to meet at $300 as the more expensive option was not done, no response. Reported to the BBB, was told we needed to get it down or threatened with attorney involvement. Stated he already offered reimbursement. Explained we were never told anything about any reimbursement to date. We reminded him again that we paid cash & he stated a receipt was already sent, then was told no receipt had been sent. Inquired about the charge, with what I feel, a not so pleasant voicemail. 6.14: Requested to have all communication texted so no one could 'lie'' as accused. Again asked for clarification on job done and price. Jeff's response open the bottom of the cabinet. Not being plumbers, we requested explanation. Continued to inquire for clarification, we resent a copy of the original receipt, still no updated receipt. Again asked what the job was, to confirm a receipt and $60 were in the mail. Jeff's response, ...all of your neighbors who I do work for on a regular basis will be surprised by the way your treating me.... We again asked what we had been - what job was done, confirm our receipt & $60 were placed in the mail. Received, what we feel, a curt response. We noted that if he couldn't confirm or follow-through, we would update the BBB as they'd requested. He stated he was unclear what we were asking. We again noted the prior.  Pics were then sent by us showing him the job he'd done & the areas on the wall that would need repair (Never divulged to us). We again inquired about the job for clarification & that the rubber coupling was supposed to be the 'cheaper' option (& cash = discount). No response. 6.18: Jeff was at our neighbors home, we requested a receipt & our return of funds ($60). Jeff met with us, told us his short life story & what he did (we think based off the pictures we previously sent). I tried to explain what our thought process was for our frustration. Jeff walked away, didn't want to hear our thoughts, he didn't care, & he'd write up our receipt & give us $50. Confused - we agreed on $60... Receipt left = interesting, in our opinion. More detailed & new total overall charge = $312.90. Why were we charged $400 on the day of completion? Paying cash = discounted rate -  quoted $400 (the day of, for a job I'd come to realize wasn't done), discounted to $350 (same day, paying cash, he had no change, charge increased to $360), new receipt now shows overall charge of $312.90 - if we were originally given a discount of $50 (paying cash - we thought it'd be the same = a total discounted charge = $262.90), were reimbursed $50 = bringing our total that we physically paid to $310 - with an end cash discount of $2.90.

At one point, lying was discussed, I have done my best not to. If you would like any proof of any of this, I have receipts, voicemails, and text messages to prove it.

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!

I needed a plumber to replace a drain pipe attached to a basement sink basin. I also had a leaky toilet flapper that controls the flow of water from tank to toilet bowl. I lastly I purchased a new sink faucet for the master bathroom because the stopper had failed and thought I needed to swap in a new faucet.

Dale was able to address all three jobs in a very timely manner. The basement laundry basin is good as new, no more water all over the laundry room floor when doing laundry. He repaired the stopper by installing a sink stopper arm assembly and a toilet flapper valve he had on hand in his work vehicle. I saved money by being able to return the unnecessary new faucet and toilet tank repair kit I had purchased from Lowe's since he had the parts I needed at a very inexpensive price. I wish all trades people that I hire could be so helpful, professional and willing to try to help their customers save money instead of trying to gouge them. I couldn't have been happier with Thiessenhusen Plumbing. I will recommend them to everyone I know who is in need of a plumber. AAA+++ 5 stars

Our AC stopped removing heat from our home during a hot Summer week. All Star (technician: Tony) showed up within their scheduled arrival time, quickly diagnosed the issue(s), replaced the necessary parts from their stock, performed basic maintenance, and had us back into our comfort zone with in no time.

You can count on All Star Heating to offer you their excellent knowledge and great service to get you through the Summer heat.

Thank you!

The company phone number isn't right. seems they changed numbers and didn't fix it here.

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

I wouldn't recommend this time wasting company.

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.

John from Mr. Rooter did an excellent job. He was late, but the office called and not only informed us he would be late but also told us why and gave us a new estimated time of arrival. The company communicates very well via calls, texts and emails.

John diagnosed our problem (clogged up kitchen sink that had not drained for days) and fixed it. He also crawled down into our disgusting crawl space to try to figure out how the pipes had been installed!

They did charge more than I paid in the past for snaking out clogged pipes, but John told me upfront how much it would be and got my approval.

John was professional, thorough and very nice. I recommend him highly.

Awful communication, awful owner who will verbally berate you on an ego trip.

Had this company replace my drain tile and sump pump in November of 2022.
At the time of completion, work was sloppy and rushed (the actual workers themselves are all sub contracted and will cut corners). Our drywall was smashed out where they said they could go underneath and told me that wasn't their problem and left an exposed open pvc pipe running to the outside, providing a highway for air and bugs to enter my home. This was remedied after many weeks of unresponsiveness.

The cherry on top is that, at the first rain we received in late winter, I realized that the sump pump they installed wasn't able to keep up with the water flowing into my crock. Had I not been home with an extra submersible pump, my basement would have flooded. I later come to find out that this sump pump they installed was a smaller one that I had originally in my crock!

I attempted to contact IHN numerous times over the span of 3 months. The woman at the desk plays the useful fool and will give you a runaround about how she will relay your message to the work crews, but that won't happen unless you hound them! I never received a call or email from IHN that I did not initiate (except when they wrongly accused me of not paying when they simply deposited my check into one of their different accounts due to their own incompetence).

Eventually after three months I was able to speak to the owner, Jim, who was nothing short of a senile asshole. His own employee at the front desk even said, I dont want to put you through to him because he is cranky on multiple occasions, what a way to run your business. He berated me and shouted me down for 10 minutes on the phone, refusing to address a single thing I brought up, on the basis of I did the work 6 months ago. He then hung up on me. All I wanted was to have the original size sump pump I had before the work installed.

This company will not stand behind their work. They have been involved in our 50 lawsuits over the past decade. This is just standard operating procedure for them. The owner is a despicable cowardly man who cannot tolerate the slightest request to make work right. No wonder they're so involved with the legal system. Avoid if possible.

Great service! On-time, professional, cost effective. Needed a new sump pump, explained all the option and didn't make my feel horrible for picking the option I did. Even when I started to question my choice they reassured me what I picked would work for our house.

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!!

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!
