When a pipe freezes overnight or a water heater stops producing hot water, the first call is the one that matters most. That is the call we get most often from North Fond du Lac, and it is the one we are set up to handle every day from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM. We work through the full range of residential plumbing from there: drain cleaning, leak detection, sewer line service, fixture installation, and whole-house repiping for the older homes that make up most of the housing stock in a town this size.
We take calls from homeowners and rental property owners throughout the area. Describe what you are seeing and we will scope the job on the phone, give you a price, and confirm a time before anything is scheduled.
Call (920) 949-9789 to get started.
If you are renovating a bathroom or adding one, the plumbing conversation needs to happen before the framing is done, not after. Rough-in work, drain placement, and supply line routing all have to be figured out while the walls are open, because changing them after the tile is set costs significantly more and takes longer. We fit into renovation timelines the way a working tradesman does: we show up when the job is ready for us, coordinate with whoever else is on site, and get the rough-in done so the rest of the project can move forward.
New shower and bath installation involves more than connecting the fixture. The drain has to be set at the right depth and slope, the supply lines have to be run and pressure tested, and the valve trim has to be fitted and checked before the surround goes in. We handle all of that, and we are used to working around the schedule of other trades on the same job.
A drain that is slowing down is telling you something is building up in the line. Kitchen drains accumulate grease and food debris. Bathroom drains collect hair and soap residue. A single slow fixture is usually a localized clog. When multiple drains in the house are sluggish or backing up at the same time, the problem is further down in the main line. We clear blockages with drain snaking for standard clogs and hydro jetting for buildup that has worked deep into the pipe or along the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to clear the line completely rather than just punching through the obstruction.
A backflow preventer keeps contaminated water from flowing backward into the supply line. When the device fails or is no longer holding properly, the supply can be compromised without any visible sign at the faucet. We test, repair, and replace backflow prevention devices, and we handle the installation side when a new device is required. Permit and inspection requirements vary depending on the property and the connection type, and we confirm what applies before the work is scheduled.
Whether you are replacing an aging tub, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or fitting out a bathroom addition, the plumbing side of that work covers drain rough-in, supply line runs, valve installation, and fixture connection. We handle faucet and sink repair and installation in the same visit where the scope calls for it. Getting the drain slope and the valve placement right at the rough-in stage is what makes the finished installation work correctly for years.
We handle the gas supply line side of appliance work: running a new gas line to a range, dryer, or water heater, repairing a line that has developed a leak, and replacing shutoff valves on existing gas runs. The work is code-compliant and follows the same inspection process as any supply line job. We do not service the appliances themselves, only the lines and valves that feed them.
For properties outside the town center, on well water or with long supply runs from the road, the plumbing picture is different from a standard in-town house. A private well means a pressure tank in the system, and pressure problems that would point to a municipal supply issue in town point somewhere else entirely out here. We diagnose the full supply side: the pressure tank, the shutoff valve, and the run from the entry point through the house.
Long pipe runs in older outbuildings and additions are often the first to show stress when temperatures drop hard. Pipes in unheated spaces, crawl spaces, and garages are the ones that freeze first. Pipe insulation and winterization work before freeze season addresses those runs directly: insulating exposed sections, draining outdoor lines, and replacing frost-free hose bibs where the existing setup is not going to hold through a hard winter.
We treat your home the way we would want ours treated, and that applies to rural properties the same as it does to in-town houses. A property that is harder to access or has more complex supply routing gets the same careful assessment before any work begins.
A burst pipe, a water heater that has failed, or a sewer backup that is affecting every drain in the house cannot wait for a scheduled appointment a week out. We take emergency calls within our published hours, every day from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM, and we can tell you what the schedule allows when you call. The job is scoped on the phone so the visit is prepared before anyone arrives.
For rental properties and occupied homes, we confirm access details and timing when the appointment is set. If a tenant needs to be home, or if the water shutoff will affect more than one unit, we work through that on the call before the visit is confirmed. The goal is a repair that gets done without turning the property upside down. The specifics for a job like this are on our page of plumbing services.
Plumbing costs are shaped by what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A leak behind a wall costs more to access than one under a sink. A drain that clears with a snake is a different job from one that needs hydro jetting because the buildup runs deep. We scope the job on the phone as thoroughly as the description allows, give you the rate before anything is confirmed, and walk through what the visit covers.
If the work opens up something that changes the scope, that conversation happens before we go further. No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing. Call in the morning. Describe the leak. Hear what the fix involves.
We do not offer a free estimate or a free inspection. What you get when you call is a straight answer on what the repair involves and what it costs, before any work is scheduled.
We take calls from North Fond du Lac and from the surrounding communities in Fond du Lac County. Along with North Fond du Lac, we cover:
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 in the county: scoped on the call, priced before the visit, and handled locally.
Describing the symptoms on the call is genuinely useful. The more you can tell us about what you are seeing, when it started, and what else you have noticed, the better we can scope the job and prepare for the visit. A call where we understand the situation before we arrive is more efficient for both sides.
Yes, where a job requires a permit or inspection we work through that process as part of the project. Requirements vary depending on the scope of the work and whether it involves the supply side, the drain system, or a gas line. We confirm what applies to your specific job before the visit is scheduled, so there are no questions left open about what the inspection process involves.
A shutoff valve that will not close fully is a problem because it means the water cannot be fully stopped if a repair is needed downstream. Whether it can be repaired or needs to be replaced depends on the type of valve and its condition. We assess it on the call or during the visit and give you a clear answer on which path makes sense before any work is done.
An expansion tank is a small pressurized tank installed on the supply line near the water heater to absorb the pressure increase that happens when water heats up and expands. It is required in closed water supply systems, which are common in homes with a pressure reducing valve or a backflow preventer on the main line. We assess whether one is needed as part of a water heater installation and include it in the scope when it is required.
A sudden pressure drop on a well system points to a different set of causes than it would on a municipal supply. The pressure tank, the shutoff valve, and the condition of the supply line from the well are all worth checking before assuming the well itself is the problem. Call us and describe what changed: when the pressure dropped, whether it happened gradually or all at once, and whether any fixtures are still producing water. That information helps us scope the visit before we arrive.
Whether a permit is required depends on the type of work and the jurisdiction where the property sits. Requirements vary between municipalities and between the city and the surrounding county. We discuss permit requirements as part of scoping the job, and if one is needed, we work through what that involves before the work is scheduled.
Older homes in a town this size tend to have galvanized steel supply lines that have been narrowing from the inside for decades, which shows up as low pressure at multiple fixtures or discolored water at the faucet. Drain lines in the same homes often have decades of buildup that snaking alone does not fully clear. We assess the full picture before recommending a repair or a replacement, because a single symptom in an older pipe system often points to a broader condition.
Describing what you are seeing is enough. A sound behind the wall, a drain that is slower than it was last week, a water heater that is running but not heating: tell us what you have noticed and we will work out what it means and what it takes to fix it. One call. One plumber. One price, agreed first.

| Type of Job | What the Job Covers | Best For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| 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. |
| 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. |
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.
