Best Water Heater Leak 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!

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.

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.

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

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!

We just purchased our first home and are so glad we found Dale to help us out. From the leaky faucet upstairs, to the downpour of a leak in the shower, to the garbage disposal he was so very helpful. Dale fixed the leaky faucet, gave us advice for how to re-caulk the tub, and he re-installed the garbage disposal the proper way with the proper configuration of the pipes.
So glad to have used their services and will do so again and again (though hopefully we do not need them!)

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.

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!!

Never showed up for appointment. Called 3 hours after they were due to show up and told me someone would call to reschedule. I never received a call to reschedule. When I called them myself to ask about it they acted like I had cancelled the appointment.

I have used Milwaukee Plumbing for lots of work from sink & toilet installations to leaking pipes. They never disappoint. Always professional prompt service. All of their plumbers are super friendly and very knowledgable. I have a rental unit that they've serviced to my home and my business. Trust me if you want reliable service at a fair price call them! Best decision you'll ever make.

We are currently in the middle of a quoted 4 day jon for a foundation and basement repair with Ihn Company. I may update this review once the job is done, but thus far I'm VERY disappointed in the service we've received. Our job: drain tile install, sump pump install and bracing of walls in our basement. Quite a pricy job. For the amount of money we are paying we are getting horrid services.
In the 4 weeks leading up to the job we had to call twice to confirm date and time as well as get information of what needed to be moved in the basement before work began. Arrival on day one was scheduled between 8 and 8:30 and the crew arrived around 9:15 am with no call. My husband was stuck waiting for them to show them to the basement as well as give them a key to the house and show them where the lock box was. I do have to say, it looked like good progress on day one.
Day two: No call, no show. No additional work done and materials were in the exact same spot as the previous day. I left a message after hours on their general voice mail asking for a call back first thing in the AM (it's now 10 am and I've yet to hear a peep out of them).
Day three: Call from the crew. The code to the lock box doesn't work. Oh wait, we wrote it down wrong. Apparently work continues.
Meanwhine, we have a newborn at home and were hoping this job would be done in 4 days because she's going to be home Thursday and Friday. Dust and noise don't mix well with babies, so if this job gets dragged out I'm going to be FUMING mad.
Further updates to come, but I have absolutely no faith in this company and the lackluster communication thus far as done nothing but frustrate and upset both my husband and me. At this point I would definitely not recommend them. I would have happily spent a little more money to get better service and great communication.

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.

Had a new shut off valve cut and put in in less than 10 min. Great price, execution, and customer service. Highly recommend!

I'm remiss in not reviewing VIP earlier - things get lost in the shuffle of moving, I guess. In any case, we were selling our house and the buyer's inspection showed issues with a Palmer valve (whatever THAT is) plus a small leak in our upstairs bath.
My husband felt strongly about using someone local, mostly because old houses tend to be quirky and he wanted someone with neighborhood experience. We called VIP and were surprised (and pleased!) at how quickly we were able to get scheduled. The plumber showed up right on time, fixed both issues with just one trip to grab a part and left the worksite clean. I was really happy with the work done, and thought the price we paid was very fair. Had we worked with someone less experienced with older homes and the dreaded Palmer valves, we would absolutely have spent more money.
Our new house is just as old as our last one - hopefully we don't run into any plumbing issues, but if we do, we'll be calling VIP.

DON'T USE BOHMANN PLUMBING!!!! We are remodeling our house. Normally, I am getting 3 or more estimates on all the work we are doing. We had some minimal plumbing that needed to be done before the carpenters finished the kitchen. I had seen one or two Bohmann signs in Wauwatosa, so I asked them to come out and do the work. The plumber came out and we walked through the work that was needed (similar to what would happen on an estimate). We had a wall mounted faucet installed (plumbing was already there just a modification was needed) and a toilet installation. The plumber wrote up the invoice and I commented on how expensive it was. He said that the installation of the wall mounted faucet was very complicated. An hour and a half later the plumber was done with all of his work. I was shocked! I just wrote a check for $1,150 and he was done in an hour and a half. If the job was so complicated I would have thought it would have taken longer.
I called and spoke with the owner questioning this invoice and that if this was so complicated I would have thought it would have taken longer. He didn't care what I said and arrogantly told me this was a fair price. I can't believe I was charged $460 per hour (including estimate) or $700 per hour of work actually performed. He said they didn't charge by the hour but look out! That is what I paid! He also didn't care that I was going to be giving him an awful rating on Angie's List and planned on filing a complaint with NARI.
Bottom line - I was price gouged! I Don't use this plumber!!!!!!

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.
