Line 03
Plumbing that goes in right the first time
Repairs and installations, new construction and remodels, water heaters in four fuels, and the ground work and compliance testing that goes with a house or a job site. Over 45 years of experience, bonded and insured.
Chapter 01
The leak you can see and the one you cannot
Most calls start with the obvious kind: a joint that has been weeping under a sink, a valve that will not fully shut, a toilet that runs all night. Those we find and fix the same visit. The ones that cost people money are the ones nobody sees. A slab or crawl space leak often shows up first as a water bill that does not match the season. A water heater's anode rod goes quietly, and once it is gone the tank itself is next on the list.
Wisconsin adds its own version: a service line that was never buried past frost depth, or one that has settled shallower than it was laid. It works fine every winter until the one where it does not. We have been finding both kinds since 1976, and the water bill is usually the first honest clue.

Water heaters: four fuels, one decision
We install and service gas, oil, electric and instantaneous water heaters, and the right one depends on what the house can actually supply, not on which is newest. Gas and oil recover fast and need proper venting. Electric needs neither a gas line nor a flue, but recovery is slower and the panel has to carry the load. Instantaneous units save standby energy and take up almost no floor space, but they need enough gas volume or electrical capacity to fire on demand, and a house built around a 40-gallon tank does not always have either.
We will say plainly when a tankless unit is the wrong answer for a given house. A bigger tank and a shorter wait is sometimes the honest fix, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the fashionable option.
Chapter 03
New construction and remodels
New construction and remodeling plumbing runs on a builder's sequence: rough-in first, pressure tested and signed off before the walls close, then trim once the finishes are in. We work that sequence on residential and commercial jobs alike, and the fixture list at the end of it is a real one: whirlpool tubs, showers, sinks, toilets, steam units and faucets, set and tested before we leave.
“The builder liked your work so much he has hired you to do the work in his next two homes,” one customer told us after we finished a new build for them. That is the kind of repeat call a rough-in sign-off is supposed to earn.
Ground work, and backflow
Some plumbing jobs start below grade before they start at the fixture. We run our own excavation and trenching and our own dump truck services, so a sewer repair or a new water service does not wait on a second contractor to open and close the ground. Backflow pressure testing is the compliance side of the same job: the device that keeps the public water supply from being fed back into by a private system, tested and certified on schedule rather than after an inspector flags it.
All of it is bonded and insured, and if something you had us in for lets go again inside a year, we come back and make it right under our own workmanship warranty. Outside office hours the same phone number reaches the emergency line.
