Best Water Heater 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.

Jon came over this morning to give me an estimate on a new A/c unit, but first checked my old unit to check any issues. In the end he found that my unit works great with zero issues, I just needed to change out my air filter on my furnace. I really appreciate that he didn't try to just sell me something and was honest and thorough. Nice guy too. I will use Jon when ever I have issues. Thanks for being a stand up guy and honest

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.

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.

Will not use these guys again. Tech was in and out of a rental property within 15 minutes, to snake a toilet. Got charged for 1 hour of labor, twice, for both a toilet adjustment and for the snake. Price was exorbitantly high. My fault for having gone through with it after they quoted it but even after escalating the matter the management stood by their pricing. Look elsewhere first.

This company is Awesome! We have used them for numerous installs and repairs for the past couple of years and have never been disappointed. We have had them install two new toilets, grab bars in the shower, a new garbage disposer and a new water heater. We have also had them check to see why our basement drain kept backing up and they fixed that problem. This last time we had them back because the new water heater they installed in January 2015 stopped working last month. No hot water! They made four trips to our house to try to fix the problem and it would work for a day or two, or last time a week, but they finally decided to order us a new one from the manufacturer and installed it yesterday. All of this was at no charge to us, no labor, parts, nothing! The owner, Jeff, even came on a Friday afternoon to get a new part installed. He has been great, always available through text or phone. He also called today to make sure the install went OK and that we weren't having any problems. Can't blame Cox for the water heater problems, we apparently got a deficient heater from Rheem. Everyone there is pleasant and helpful and willing to do whatever they can to help. You can't go wrong with these guys!

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 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.

Bob did a great job doing some plumbing work for me while I wasn't even home! I appreciate his thorough and complete job, no mess left behind, a complete and exact invoice, and a working outside hose! His bill was reasonable! I will definitely call him again!

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.

More from their website:
# We Listen to You - Our employees do not talk down to our customers! Your questions give us the opportunity to understand your concerns. Only then can we recommend appropriate options and solutions to your plumbing needs.  Ummm what about the boss?

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...

Thanks for Milwaukee Plumbing for helping us so quickly and efficiently with a new water heater! We're in the process of selling our condo, and after an inspection we realized our water heater, though still working well, was at the end of its life. We called MKE Plumbing and the sent someone out within a few hours to take a look.

Later that afternoon we received a call from the company confirming a quote and what it would take to get this project done. We have a unique situation in that our water heater is suspended from the ceiling, pretty high up above our washer/dryer, and it's also an unusual size. The company was able to book us in for an official replacement within a few days, as all they needed was to wait on the parts to arrive.

Steve came on a Tuesday morning and was both approachable and accommodating. He helped my husband remove and replace the closet door blocking the space, and assisted in getting everything back in place afterward.

All in all, the (seemingly tough) process took about five hours. We were charged roughly $2200, compared to quotes upwards of $3000 we received via phone from other plumping companies. Hopefully no return repairs but they certainly got a difficult job done.

When I make an appointment for 8am, and the technician is pulling into my driveway at 7:50, that's a great start!  They found an issue with a part that I thought would require a second visit, but they were able to fix it in one trip and explained to me exactly what was wrong and repaired it properly. They are always friendly to deal with and clean up after their work too. I trust what they say.

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!!

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.

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.
