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.

Very affordable. Jon helped with lighting fixtures and changing out non-functional smoke alarms. He was knowledgeable, prompt, and communicated effectively. I will not hesitate to call again for future needs. Highly recommend.

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.

Fast and friendly service!! Repair man rebuilt the items with ease, where another service guy would've had me replace all the valves and spend more money! Great job

Called jeff for a cloged drain, his truck was down at this point but he said he would use his own car to help us in our time in need. jeff is a up standing guy and very easy to talk to, i would reccamend jeff for all your plumbing needs. thank you jeff for being there for us. i will use him again if needed. and i highly suggest you do the same. thanks again jeff. terry and julie.

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

I highly recommend South Shore Plumbing. I've hired them twice - once to install a new sink/faucet when I had new countertops installed and most recently to fix an electric water heater. They were responsive when I left a message and quickly fit me into the schedule. They are definitely my go-to for plumbing projects. I have worked with both Bob (owner) and Sean on these projects.  They are the BEST.

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!!!!!!

The young man That came to my house pulled out a part to replace without checking if that was the part that needed replacing. My hot water heater doesn't even take the part he went to replace. He then told me he has the exact same water heater and just worked on his over the weekend and couldn't fix it. When I questioned my water heater only being 10 years old he informed me his hot water heater was only nine years old and that's about as long as you can expect them to live.
If he had the same hot water heater as mine, why would he have pulled out a part that my water heater doesn't even have? What are the chances he has the exact water heater, worked in it for two days and as a plumber by trade could not fix it?
He was in my house for approximately 30 minutes and my bill was $168. At no point was I told what the cost would be, they just sent me a bill. If you double that price, it's the cost of a new water heater...

This was not a good interaction. I'm incredibly skeptical and it all felt shiesty.

We had The Ihn company out for an estimate and ultimately to do foundation repairs on our home.
We could not possibly be more satisfied with the quality, quantity and price of the work performed.
The crew was always at our home when they said they would be, they performed the work neatly and cleaned up as best as possible each night and did an outstanding clean-up at the end of the job.
The work passed City of Milwaukee inspection- and I'm certain the repairs will last for generations.
Our job was not an easy one, it had its share of complications- and our underground sprinkler system was intact and our lawn was not in bad shape after 5 days of heavy machine and foot traffic.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on their foundation work.

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.

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.
