Straight answers on the phone. Real plumbing work. Quick to respond.
For busy homeowners and property managers, having one plumber who handles the full range of work saves time and cuts down on callbacks. We handle drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet work, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, water pressure issues, shutoff valve repair, and whole-house repiping.
We work with apartment buildings, rental properties, office buildings, and commercial spaces throughout the area. Commercial drain cleaning, water heater installation for multi-unit buildings, and fixture replacement in rental units all fall within our regular scope. If you manage properties in or around Kaukauna, we can work around tenant schedules and handle jobs that need to get done without a long delay.
We give honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell, so you know what the job actually requires before anything is scheduled. Call us and the rest is handled.
A slow drain is easy to ignore until it backs up completely. Kitchen drains collect grease and food debris over time. Bathroom drains and shower drains build up hair and soap. Floor drains in basements and utility rooms can block without much warning. We clear them using drain snaking for standard clogs and hydro jetting for stubborn or recurring blockages that snaking alone does not fully clear. Rooter service handles the cases where buildup has worked deep into the line. If a drain is slow, backed up, or gurgling, that is the right time to call before the problem compounds. Reach out and tell us what the drain is doing.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor leak from a serious one, especially when the pipe runs inside a wall or under a floor. A leak detection visit covers pressure testing and tracing the line to find exactly where water is escaping. We locate the problem before recommending a fix, which means the cause of a leak is explained, not just the patch. From there, we handle water line leak repair, broken pipe repair, and emergency pipe repair when a burst line needs immediate attention. If you are seeing water stains, a spike in your water bill, or damp spots that don't have a clear source, those are worth a call.
Before a small leak turns into water damage, a water heater problem is worth diagnosing early. We work on tank water heaters and tankless water heater systems, handling repair, replacement, and new installation for both types. When a unit stops producing hot water, is making noise, or is leaking around the base, a service call covers inspection of the heating elements, thermostat, anode rod, and connections to determine whether repair or replacement is the better path.
Tankless water heater installation is a common request for homeowners who want a more compact setup or need to replace an aging tank unit. We also install expansion tanks where the supply line requires one. The price for any water heater job is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled, so you know what you are looking at before work begins. We make the repair and leave it tidy.
Toilets, faucets, sinks, and other fixtures are among the most common service calls we get. A running toilet wastes water around the clock. A toilet that won't flush or that overflows needs attention before it becomes a bigger cleanup. We handle toilet repair and replacement for both residential bathrooms and commercial restrooms.
Faucet repair covers leaking and dripping faucets in kitchens and bathrooms, as well as outdoor faucet repair and hose bib replacement. We install new kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, sinks, showers, and bathtub fixtures. Garbage disposal installation, repair, and replacement round out the fixture work we do regularly.
Low water pressure is a separate issue that often traces back to a shutoff valve, a pressure reducing valve, or buildup in the supply line. We diagnose the cause and handle shutoff valve replacement and pressure reducing valve replacement when those are the right fix.
One call. One plumber. One price, agreed first.
A main line clog or sewer backup affects every drain in the building at once, which makes it one of the more urgent calls we handle. We clear main line clogs, clean sewer lines, and handle sewer line repair and replacement when the pipe itself is damaged. Main water line repair and replacement, backflow preventer installation, and backflow preventer repair also fall within our scope.
For properties with a gas supply line that needs repair or rerouting, we handle the plumbing side of that work: the supply line, shutoffs, and connections up to the appliance. We do not service the appliance itself.
Water softener installation and water filtration installation are common requests in this part of Wisconsin, where hard water is a real concern for fixtures and water heaters alike. If you are dealing with scale buildup or water quality issues, those systems can be added as part of a service visit. Reach out and tell us what the drain is doing.
Older homes in Kaukauna often have galvanized steel pipe that has corroded from the inside out over decades of use. Discolored water, low pressure at multiple fixtures, or repeated leaks in different parts of the house are all signs the pipe system may need replacing rather than patching. We handle galvanized pipe replacement, copper repiping, and PEX repiping, and we can assess the full scope of a whole-house repipe on the call.
Repiping is a larger job, and the cost varies depending on the size of the home, the pipe material being used, and how much access the walls and ceilings allow. No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing: the price is confirmed before we schedule, so you can make the decision with a clear picture of what it involves.
Kaukauna winters push well below freezing for weeks at a stretch. The housing stock in the Fox Valley includes a lot of older homes with basements, exterior walls that don't always have adequate insulation around the pipes, and crawl spaces that see hard cold. Spring snowmelt adds groundwater pressure that basements and sump systems have to manage. These conditions drive a specific set of plumbing calls that we handle every season.
When temperatures drop hard, pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and poorly insulated areas are the first to freeze. A frozen pipe that thaws on its own can split along the length of the pipe and release a significant amount of water in a short time. A burst pipe call is treated as an emergency. We locate the affected section, stop the flow, and make the repair. If you have no water or you can hear water running behind a wall after a cold snap, call right away.
Spring snowmelt across Outagamie County pushes groundwater up against basement walls and floors. A sump pump that fails during that period can mean a flooded basement within hours. We install, repair, and replace sump pumps, and a service call covers inspection of the pump, the float switch, the discharge line, and the pit itself. If your pump is running constantly, not running at all, or making noise it did not used to make, that is worth a call before the next heavy melt.
Preventive work before freeze season is straightforward and saves a lot of trouble. A winterization visit covers outdoor faucet shutoff and insulation, frost-free hose bib installation where the existing setup is vulnerable, and checking exposed pipes in basements and crawl spaces. Repairs and repipes in these neighborhoods are familiar ground, and a winterization visit in the fall is a reasonable way to avoid an emergency call in February.
Booking a plumbing service call is simple, and the price conversation happens on the phone before anything is scheduled. Common questions we hear: what does drain cleaning cost, what does water heater replacement run, how much to replace a toilet or install a faucet, what does repiping cost, and what does an emergency plumbing call run. We can address all of those on the call once we understand the scope of the job.
Pricing depends on the work involved, the parts required, and the access the job allows. What you get when you call is a straight answer on what the repair involves and what the rate covers. We give honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell, so the quote reflects what the job actually needs.
Call in the morning. Describe the leak. Hear what the fix involves.

Kaukauna is our primary service city. We also handle plumbing calls throughout the surrounding Fox Valley communities, including Appleton, Little Chute, Combined Locks, Wrightstown, Sherwood, Menasha, Neenah, and De Pere. Whether you are in the city or in a nearby township in Outagamie County, the service call process is the same: a call, a quote, and a scheduled visit. We make the repair and leave it tidy.
When you call, we ask about the problem, where it is in the house, and what you have noticed so far. From there we scope the job on the phone, give you the price, and confirm a time to schedule the visit. The work is carried out, the area is left clean, and if anything changes in scope once the job is underway, we talk through it before proceeding.
Yes, we work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial building owners throughout Kaukauna and Outagamie County. The work ranges from a single-fixture repair in a residential bathroom to drain cleaning and water heater replacement in a multi-unit building. The process is the same regardless of property type: the job is scoped on the call and the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled.
Shut the main water shutoff valve first to stop the flow and limit how much water gets into the structure. If you do not know where the main shutoff is, it is typically near the water meter, often in the basement or utility area.
Once the water is off, call us at (920) 949-9789 and describe what happened so we can scope the repair and get it scheduled.
Turn off the water supply to the fixture using the shutoff valve located at the base of the toilet or under the sink. If the fixture does not have its own shutoff, or if the shutoff is not working, use the main water shutoff for the house. Call us once the water is controlled and we will walk through what caused the overflow and what the repair involves.
The price covers the work as scoped on the call, including labor and the parts needed for that specific job. We explain what the visit covers before anything is scheduled so you know what you are paying for. If the scope changes once the work is underway, that conversation happens before any additional work is done.
For non-emergency work, calling a day or two ahead is usually enough to get on the schedule. Short-notice calls are welcome, and we can check availability on the spot. Emergency situations like burst pipes or a complete loss of hot water are handled as quickly as the day's schedule permits, and we can tell you what is available when you call.
Yes, we take calls from Little Chute, Combined Locks, Appleton, Wrightstown, Sherwood, Menasha, and other communities in Outagamie County. If you are not sure whether your address falls within our service area, call us and we will confirm. The process is the same wherever you are: scoped on the call, priced before the visit, and carried out locally.
A drain that keeps blocking after repeated clearing usually has a problem further into the line, such as buildup along the pipe walls, root intrusion, or a partial collapse. We assess where in the line the restriction is before recommending a fix, because a recurring clog is often a sign that snaking alone is not enough. Hydro jetting or a camera inspection of the line can show what is actually causing the repeat problem.
Yes, when you call we confirm a time that works for the property and anyone who needs to be there. We take calls every day from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM, which gives some flexibility for morning and evening appointments. If you manage rental properties and need to coordinate around a tenant's availability, let us know on the call and we will work around that.
Clear the area around the fixture, drain, or water heater that needs attention so there is room to work. If the problem is a leak, note where you first saw moisture and whether it has spread. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself: the more you can describe about what you are seeing and when it started, the better we can scope the job on the call before the visit.
We work out access details when the appointment is confirmed. Some customers leave a key with a neighbor, use a lockbox, or arrange for a tenant or property manager to be present. Whatever the arrangement, we confirm it before the visit so there is no confusion on the day.
Kaukauna Plumbing Company is open every day from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM. Residential and commercial calls are both welcome. Whether you have a drain that needs clearing, a water heater that has stopped working, or a pipe situation that needs attention, call and we will get it scheduled.

Below is a quick look at the plumbing work we handle for homes, rentals, and commercial spaces across Kaukauna and the surrounding area. Each service is scoped on the call before anything is scheduled, so you know what the visit covers and what it costs before we show up.
Call us at (920) 949-9789 any day between 8:30 AM and 9:30 PM to talk through what you are seeing.
| Type of Job | What the Job Covers | Best For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with pressure that has dropped gradually or shutoff valves that no longer close fully | Low pressure across multiple fixtures often points to a failing pressure reducing valve or corroded pipe, not just a single fixture issue. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Bathroom and kitchen updates, or fixtures that drip or no longer seat properly | We handle rough-in through final connection, so fixture upgrades are a single call rather than a coordination job. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Any home or property with slow or fully clogged drain | A clog deep in the main line backs up multiple fixtures at once and needs different treatment than a single fixture drain. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water is actively causing damage or a critical system has failed | Emergency calls are taken every day from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM. Shutting the main water supply off first limits damage while the visit is arranged. |
| Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair |
| Homes in Kaukauna with pipes in unheated spaces, exterior walls, or garages during cold snaps | After thawing, we pressure test the full line to confirm integrity before closing anything up. A freeze often stresses pipe beyond the visible break. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Basements at risk during spring snowmelt or heavy rain in Outagamie County | A pump that runs constantly or fails to cycle is worth a call before the next heavy rain, not after. |
| Pipe Insulation & Winterization |
| Kaukauna homeowners preparing for winter or following a freeze event | Winterization before the cold season is straightforward work that prevents expensive emergency calls in January and February. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Homeowners with unexplained water stains, rising water bills, or a mildew smell | We identify the cause before recommending a repair, so the fix addresses the actual problem rather than just the symptom. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors, or a backed-up floor drain | We service the line from the house to the city connection or the point of entry at the tank. Work stops at the line itself. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| Households with no hot water, inconsistent heating, or a unit past its useful life | We walk through repair versus replacement options before anything is scheduled, including tank and tankless comparisons. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Kitchens with a disposal that hums, jams, or has stopped working entirely | First-time disposal installation requires confirming the drain configuration under the sink before the visit. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Homeowners dealing with a running, leaking, or non-flushing toilet | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a month, and the fix is often straightforward once the cause is identified. |
Call (920) 949-9789 any day from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM and describe what you are seeing. We scope the job on the call and give you the rate before anything is scheduled.
