Wauwatosa Plumbing Company handles the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work, from a dripping faucet to a burst pipe to a complete repipe. Whether you own a home on the west side, manage a multi-unit building, or run a business in the area, we cover repairs, installations, drain cleaning, water heater service, sewer lines, and emergency calls. We're available every day from 9 AM to 10 PM.
When something goes wrong fast, whether that's a burst pipe, no hot water, or a major leak, call (414) 451-9789 and we'll get it on the schedule.
Knowing where the main shutoff is helps in any plumbing emergency. If you're not sure where yours is located, ask when you call and we'll walk you through it.
We protect your home. We fix your pipes. We earn the call.
A dripping faucet and a full repipe are two different jobs, and we handle both. Our work covers residential homes, rental properties, multi-unit buildings, and light commercial spaces throughout Wauwatosa and the surrounding Milwaukee County area. Every job is done to code, and we confirm what that means for your specific situation before we start. Code-compliant plumbing on every job is not a slogan here, it is how the work gets done.
Call and we'll handle the leaks, drains, and fixtures.
Slow drains and recurring clogs are usually a sign of buildup in the line, not just at the drain opening. We clear kitchen and bathroom drains using snaking and hydro jetting for stubborn grease, scale, or root intrusion. If the main drain is backing up, that is a call to make sooner rather than later.
Hidden leaks behind walls or under floors can run for weeks before they show up as a water stain or a spike on your water bill. We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate the source without tearing into walls unnecessarily. Once we find it, we confirm the repair, fix it, and test the line before we leave.
We'll find it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
No hot water, slow recovery, or a water heater that keeps running without heating are all signs something is off. We service both tank and tankless water heaters. On older units with sediment buildup or age-related failure, the repair-versus-replace question comes up often. We explain the options on the call so you know what you're deciding before anyone shows up. Fixtures and lines are left working before we go.
Running toilets waste more water than most people expect, and a dripping faucet does not fix itself. We handle toilet repair and replacement, faucet repair, and full fixture swaps in kitchens and bathrooms alike. Shower valves, bathtub fixtures, and under-sink work all fall within what a typical visit covers.
A camera inspection tells us what is actually happening inside a sewer or main line before we start digging or recommending repairs. We use rooter service and hydro jetting to clear main line clogs, and we repair or replace the line running from the house out to the city connection. If that line runs to a septic tank inlet, we work on the line itself, not the tank.
Garbage disposal installs, repairs, and replacements are straightforward calls. Repiping is a bigger job, but the process is the same: assess what is there, explain the options, confirm the scope and price before work starts. Galvanized pipe systems in older Wauwatosa homes are a common reason for repiping, and we work with both copper and PEX depending on what the situation calls for. Water pressure problems and shutoff valve replacements also fall within our regular work.
Let us handle the plumbing and the permits.
Plumbing pricing depends on the job, and the job depends on what we find. When you call, we scope the work on the phone, give you a rate, and you decide whether to schedule. There is no obligation to book, and the price is confirmed before anything is put on the calendar.
Some jobs require a permit, and some do not. We tell you if a permit is needed. We explain repair or replace. You make the choice.
We work with homeowners, property managers, and business owners, and the process is the same for all of them. A local plumber for homeowners means you get a straight answer on the call, not a vague range and a follow-up invoice with additions. Ask what the job covers and you will get a clear answer.

Wisconsin winters put real stress on plumbing systems. Sustained freezing temperatures, heavy snow loads, and deep frost penetration are standard here, not exceptions. The three services below come up every season for homes and buildings throughout Wauwatosa and Milwaukee County.
When a pipe freezes, pressure builds up inside the line. When it thaws, that pressure has to go somewhere. Splits and cracks in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and garage supply lines are the most common result. A service call covers locating the frozen section, thawing it safely, inspecting the run for damage, and repairing or replacing what needs to go. Getting ahead of it before the thaw is always better than dealing with water damage after.
Spring snowmelt and heavy rain push groundwater into basements across Milwaukee County, and a sump pump that fails at the wrong moment causes real damage fast. Installation involves assessing the pit, sizing the pump for the space, and routing the discharge line to a proper outlet. We also handle repair and replacement of existing units when a pump is running but not keeping up, or has stopped working altogether.
Exposed pipe runs in unheated garages, crawl spaces, and utility areas are the first to freeze when temperatures drop hard. We insulate those runs before the season turns, and we winterize outdoor faucets, frost-free hose bibs, and supply lines for vacant or seasonal properties. A winterization visit covers assessing what is exposed, insulating or draining at-risk lines, and confirming the system is ready for a Wisconsin winter.
Not every plumber works the same way, and the difference usually shows up before the visit, not after. When you call, someone who knows the trade answers. They can scope the job on the phone, give you a realistic sense of what is involved, and confirm the price before anything is scheduled. That conversation matters whether you are a homeowner with a leaking water line or a property manager dealing with a plumbing issue in a multi-unit building.
We handle commercial plumbing work alongside residential, including work for property managers, light commercial spaces, and remodel projects. Bathroom remodels, kitchen plumbing updates, and rough-in work for new construction are all part of what we do. The process is the same: understand the job, confirm the scope, do the work to code.
We'll sort... we'll take care of the plumbing and clean up after.

Plumbing problems don't wait, and neither do we, which is why we take calls across Wauwatosa and the communities nearby. In addition to Wauwatosa, we serve Milwaukee, West Allis, Brookfield, Elm Grove, Menomonee Falls, Butler, New Berlin, and Hartland. Whether you are in Milwaukee County or just across the county line into Waukesha County, call and we will confirm whether we cover your address.
Turn off the main water shutoff as fast as you can to stop the flow.
If you are not sure where the shutoff is, call us at (414) 451-9789 and we can walk you through finding it before we get the job on the schedule.
Once the water is off, move anything that can be damaged away from the affected area and leave access to the pipe clear so the repair can start without delay.
When you call, someone who knows the trade answers and asks about what you are seeing. We scope the job on the phone, give you a rate, and confirm availability before anything is booked. You know what the work involves and what it costs before we arrive, so there is nothing to work out once we are on the property.
We cover Wauwatosa as our primary area and take calls across Milwaukee County as well. Communities we serve regularly include Milwaukee, West Allis, Brookfield, Elm Grove, Menomonee Falls, and Shorewood.
If you are nearby and unsure whether we cover your address, call (414) 451-9789 and we will confirm.
The rate is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled, based on what the job involves. For most repair and installation work, the phone conversation gives us enough to quote accurately. For larger jobs like repiping or sewer line replacement, we confirm the final scope in person before the price is settled.
If the job turns out to be more involved than the phone conversation suggested, we explain what changed and what it means for the cost before the work continues. We do not add charges after the fact without telling you first. The goal is a clear number before anything is done, confirmed before the work starts.
Lead times depend on what is available when you call. Routine repairs and installations can usually be scheduled within a short window, and we take short-notice work as part of what we do.
For urgent situations like burst pipes or no hot water, call (414) 451-9789 and we will treat it as the priority it is.
We work across both. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners all call us, and the process is the same for each. Commercial work includes larger drain lines, commercial water heaters, multi-fixture installations, and the kind of scheduling coordination that a building with tenants or customers requires.
When all the drains back up at once, the problem is almost always in the main sewer line rather than in an individual drain. That is a call to make right away, because a main line backup can push water back up through the lowest fixtures in the house. Call us and we will scope the situation on the phone and get it on the schedule.
Someone needs to be present to provide access to the affected area, the water heater, and the main shutoff. If you will not be home, let us know when you call and we can discuss what access arrangements make sense. For jobs in commercial buildings or rental properties, we work with property managers to coordinate entry.
Wauwatosa Plumbing Company is available every day from 9 AM to 10 PM. That includes emergency calls for burst pipes, no hot water, and major leaks.

| Service | What's Included | When to Call | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Faucet and showerhead replacementCartridge and valve repairSupply and drain connectionRemodel and new-install rough-in | Dripping faucets, fixture upgrades, or bathroom and kitchen remodels | Fixtures and supply lines are left fully tested before we go, so there is no drip or slow seep to find later. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | Clog clearing and line flushingCamera inspection of the lineCracked or collapsed section repairFull main line replacement | Sewer backups, slow drains throughout the house, or odor from multiple fixtures | We camera the line when the situation calls for it so we know what we are dealing with before any digging starts. This is sewer line work, not septic tank service. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Fill valve, flapper, and cartridge repairSupply line replacementFull toilet swap and installationNew construction and remodel rough-in | Running toilets, persistent leaks at the base, or a full fixture upgrade | A running toilet can waste several hundred gallons per week. Most fill valve and flapper repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair | Freeze point locationCareful thaw of intact pipeBurst section repair or replacementCheck of adjacent lines | Pipes in exterior walls, unheated garages, or crawl spaces during or after a cold snap | A pipe that has frozen but not yet split can sometimes be thawed and left intact. One that has burst needs immediate repair to stop water from reaching walls and flooring. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | New disposal installationReplacement of failed unitsElectrical and drain connectionJam clearing and reset | Disposals that hum but do not spin, leak at the sink flange, or have failed entirely | Most disposal replacements are completed in under an hour and include a check of the drain connection below the sink. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement | Tank and tankless unitsSediment flush and element repairFull unit replacement with sizingGas and water line connections | No hot water, inconsistent temperature, or a tank past its useful life | Replacement units are sized to the household's actual demand before anything is ordered, so you are not paying for capacity you do not need. |
| Pipe Insulation & Winterization | Exposed supply line insulationRim joist and exterior wall runsSeasonal shutoff and drain-down checkOutdoor supply winterization | Older homes with supply lines running through unheated spaces before winter sets in | Confirming that seasonal shutoff valves drain correctly is straightforward work that prevents a much larger repair when temperatures drop hard. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing to locate sourceSupply line repair or replacementWall and floor access kept minimalConfirmed fix before we leave | Unexplained water bills, stains, or mildew smell with no visible source | Pressure testing narrows the location before anything is opened up, so only the affected section needs to be accessed. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Whole-house pressure testingShutoff valve replacementCorroded supply line diagnosisPressure regulator check | Low pressure at multiple fixtures or a shutoff valve that is stuck or leaking | Low pressure across the house often traces to a partially closed or corroded valve rather than a supply problem at the street. |
| Sump Pump Installation | New pit and pump installationDischarge line routingFloat switch setup and testAssessment of existing pit | Basements in Milwaukee County homes where clay soil slows drainage during snowmelt or heavy rain | Clay-heavy soil in this area does not drain quickly, so a properly routed sump system is a practical necessity in many Wauwatosa homes. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Cable and hydro-jet clearingKitchen, bath, and main line drainsRoot intrusion and buildup removalCamera scoping when needed | Recurring slow drains or full backups in any fixture | Hydro jetting clears the pipe wall, not just the center of the line, which helps prevent the same clog from returning. |
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst pipe responseSewer backup callsNo hot water situationsMajor active leaks | Any plumbing failure that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment | We take short-notice work and handle emergency calls across Wauwatosa and the surrounding area. Calls are answered every day from 9 AM to 10 PM. |
