Best Toilet Repair in Milwaukee WI

11.28.2012: Taagen's plumbers just finished some major work here to replace 90-year-old steel pipes with modern copper and PEX. No surprise to me: their work was excellent. They were on time, courteous, clear, tidy and efficient. I continue to recommend them highly.

1.7.2010: A good, honest, local plumber. Instead of doing more work than was necessary, Matt Taagen told me that the leaking shower valve I had was better quality than the new one I had purchased at Home Depot - it just needed a new cartridge. So with that and a few more parts to remedy issues I had with the handle and trim plate, my problems were solved and he was on his way within an hour. Considerate, polite, knowledgeable - give the Taagen brothers a call.

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.

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!

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!

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.

They did respond quickly but their price is outrageous. They would not tell you their labor per hour cost over the phone.

Derek Kuepper helped with our remodel and was great. Thorough and meticulous with everything he did!  Would use again!

I have used (Dale) Thiessenhusen Plumbing as our plumber for over 20 years and he has never disappointed us.

He is a very fair, prompt, and  knowledgeable plumber and business man.  

I would, without hesitation, recomend Thiessenhusen Plumbing for all of your plumbing needs.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING, unless you actually like  to be scammed. Our sink drain was clogged - we could run the water in small amounts, but if we left it on for a longer time, it would fill up the pipe from where the clog was and start backing up into the sink. Then it would slowly drain out.

Sunday night (7/21/13) I called B Bohmann Plumbing (without reading any reviews!) and scheduled an appointment for 4:30-5:00 on Monday. On Monday, Brian (the owner) and an apprentice showed up at 4:30 - so far so good. They took a look at the pipes and presented us with a couple of options: snake the pipe for $243 or snake and flush the pipes for $362. We asked what the flushing was for and were told by the apprentice that it was just to really clean out all the sedatives and flush them down from the pipes connecting to the sink.  Since my husband had taken the pipes under the sink apart in an attempt to find the clog, we knew that there was nothing wrong with those and went with the cheaper option.

We had to sign the work order and pay before they started the work - a bit unusual for any contractor. Fine, we'd have to pay sooner or later.

After half an hour of snaking the drain we were told that it was not working and that we would have to get the flush (pay an additional $120) to try and take care of the problem (which still was not a guarantee to work and we would have to pay for whatever else might need to be done in addition to the $360, if the flush doesn't work).  Apparently, the first option only covered the actual snaking for one half hour, regardless of the result.

I was frustrated and went to talk to Brian about these extortionist billing practices. Brian continued saying that we agreed to the first option and he did the work that we agreed to; if we don't want additional work done, he could just leave - with the clog still in the drain, absolutely no different than it was when they got here.  What's more, he was  not able to tell me whether this flush would even take care of the problem or if he would have to do something else an how much that might cost.

We ended up paying for the additional service and it cleared out the clog. After reading the reviews, I am certain  that all of this could have been done for much cheaper.

Very helpful and responsive. Fixed my leaky toilet and had replacement parts on-hand.

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.

Jim came out to our house today and he was awesome.
First class assessment and solution of our problem.
Would highly recommend!!

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.
