Best Sink Repair 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.

Jason is reliable and knows his stuff.  Hooked up water to my new fridge.  Used him before and will continue to use him when needed.

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.

I had Martin over the first time to level out my backyard to install a pool.  I had recently broke my ankle and wasn't able to do much on my own. He helped me with so many other things while he was here; it was unbelievably helpful. Cleaned gutters, fixed a gate- and he ended up assembling and putting up the pool for me!
Fast forward 8 months -ankle still broke - I want to install a dog door for my upcoming surgery. He suggested a door, came out, installed it, and even followed up a few times to see how the dogs were liking it.
He's very reliable, cleans up after himself, and charges reasonable rates.
Bonus- he listens to good music while he works!

Chris Urban is a master plumber. We have used Chris Urban twice now. I can handle most things around the house and I have attempted most things such as installed faucets, installed water filtration systems, water to ice maker and installed new water softener but occasionally come across things I just don't want to do/attempt or can't figure out. First visit was for a leak that I wasn't able to get to and diagnose so my wife had him over based on Yelp reviews. Chris diagnosed the issue and quickly resolved it. The next visit was a few days ago for an issue with our water heater and backdrafting. WE Energy just installed a new gas meter and while checking for leaks in the house he said the water heater wasn't exhausting properly. We had our HVAC (recently installed a new furnace) come out to see if they did something to change the exhaust that may have caused this issue. Nope, recommend calling a plumber as water heater is not HVAC issue. I called Chris and immediately he rerouted to our house as he was on his way to another job to assess the issue. Wow, I couldn't ask for more!  He looked at it all and said there isn't any issue that WE Energy didn't know what they were talking about. Chris could have sold me on X, Y or Z issue and I wouldn't have known. So honesty is a strong trait with Urban's Plumbing. He didn't charge for the visit and explained what could have been the issue. Thanks Chris!  I wouldn't hesitate to call Chris to do any job now and most likely will instead of me stumbling through plumbing work that I have no idea!  If you are looking for a plumber, give Urban's Plumbing a call. I have him booked marked.

Have used this company many times, but NEVER again.

They literally charged us $465 to unplug a drain.

This was about an hour's worth of work, not counting the time they spent going back to their service center because they didn't bring the necessary equipment.

Avoid unless you want to get ripped off.

After a very unsatisfactory experience with another company, Mr Rooter, who didn't inspire confidence, talked of breaking thru walls!!..quoted ($$$) from some menu...& had me sign to accept before even diagnosing the problem.. all while saying he wouldn't guarantee to fix..expected payment after efforts failed to achieve resolution.. then left saying their company wouldn't allow sufficient parts to be carried on the truck.. They'd have to be ordered..I declined to have them return ( with yet more billing)...after 3 hrs of achieving nothing. The shower still dripped. No mention was made of waiving the truck fee.

I then had Alex from Milestone come,  he arrived with the needed parts...was very professional & pleasant & in just over an hour had the issue resolved.. he also contacted Koehler to have a replacement hose for my handheld delivered, gratis, to my home & will return , waiving the truck fee to install.. An itemized bill was presented AFTER the necessary work was completed..
Mr Rooter had directed me to go to a plumbing store & purchase the hose myself..

I highly recommend Alex & Milestone. It's so important to feel confident in persons engaged to do work on one's property.

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

I wouldn't recommend this time wasting company.

I had a great experience with IHN.  A clog in the pipes had burst a joint in the basement where my kitchen, bathroom, and stationary tub all came together.  Basically, the house was out of commission.  I called on a Saturday AM, Jim was there within 90 minutes, and everything was fixed and cleaned up within two hours.  He even helped me install a new stationary tub that I opted to buy, including mounting it to the basement floor.  Given the time, speed, and quality of the work, I believe the prices were reasonable as well.  They're definitely my go-to the next time I need plumbing work done.  Jim was a great guy, easy to work with and very professional.

Guy is clown who will screw up your plumbing. Dont use this moron.

they were very timely, came right away got my floor drain unclogged within 15 minutes. price was incredible. i highly recommend!

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...

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.

My wife and I built a home. The builder has used Wilkes Plumbing for many of his jobs. I talked with the owners wife who handles sales and pricing. We had things in the home that we wanted to upgrade. My wife and I set an appointment to meet with the owner. At that time we had questions as to what the itemized cost of things were and what the cost of the alternative option would be. Things seemed off because she could never give a straight answer. I had to ask multiple times because I want to be sure of things. She would never tell me the cost of the original options and would never tell me the actual cost of the alternative. She would only give me estimated additional cost over the estimate. (example: The larger tub would be an additional $300 on top of our initial bid). This made it very difficult to weigh our options. Our third option would have been to purchase things our own. We would not know if we had better pricing if we did not know the original price. I also wanted to know that if I wanted to purchase my own tub what would our credit be for them not providing the originally quoted item. She told me she did not know the prices which was understandable. She claimed she would email me the prices of everything the next day. She emailed me a list and once again the list was only composed of price differences and not an actual itemized pricing of their services or products. The price difference was reasonable and despite my frustration I was advised to just continue because going with anyone else at that time would delay our build. I agreed that we would pay the additional for the upgrades. They were scheduled to start working a week or two after. Upon a visit to the home I found all of their supplies in the house so they could start working the following day. Everything we requested looked to be correct. Up until this point they had been fairly professional even with my reservations with the pricing. They had also been on time and friendly. We were happy. The next day I received an email claiming that the total price had increase. It was substantially higher than previously communicated in emails. I immediately called the owners wife and questioned the email. I was not happy. She had told me that the prices was higher because the changes were based off of the building plans and not the estimate. The building plans were designed to have a walk in shower and a whirlpool tub. She said the price was based off the house having a modular shower/tub combo. The shower and tub would be extra. The home design never had a modular unit and always was designed to have a shower and tub. It appeared that she had based the allowance off of the generic price she regularly charges this builder and not specific to the building plans we had. I told her that this was not acceptable because when we had met with her we had a copy of our plans with us and had previously requested she had itemized costs ready when we meet. She did not have that and never took the time to recognize that my home was a different design than she had previously provided service to. As a business professional she should have had a way of handling this. None of this would have happened if she would have originally provided the information I had requested. I told her that the new price was simply not feasible. She said they had already started the install and that it was to late. I told her to stop working on the job because I do not approve the additional costs and I will not be liable for them. I was irate and spoke to her in such manner. I told her no further work is authorized until costs have been reviewed. I went to the house to check on the status of what was already done. The plumbers were still there working. As soon as I walked in an older man confronted me saying are you the owner I told him yes. He started yelling and got in my face saying if you ever talk to my wife like that again you'll regret it. I told him that his wife was trying to pull one over on me. It turned into a big fight. They would not leave and so I did because I was concerned about my safety. I had emailed them and told them to only do what was in the original estimate. I had to buy and install my own tub and build my own shower including laying a cement shower pan. I still was forced to pay them extra because they would not allow any other person to work on the job because they held the permit. If I wanted another person to work on it I would have had to have the city pull their permit and issue one to the new contractor. It would have delayed my build and Wilkes would not have finished the job they were over charging me for. I was stuck. I was lied to, over charged, screamed at, and threatened. In the end I still had to pay extra and did not get anything from them that I had wanted in my home. Worst experience ever and I would never recommend anyone to use them.
