Home » Areas We Serve » Allouez
Allouez is a town of single-family homes, small rental properties, and established neighborhoods where the housing stock carries its age in the pipes. Most of it was built on basements, not slabs, and that shapes the kind of plumbing work that comes up here. Frozen supply lines in January, sump pump failures during spring snowmelt, water heaters that have been running hard for fifteen years, and main lines that root intrusion has quietly been narrowing for a decade. That is the work we show up for. Timco Plumbing handles it across Allouez and the surrounding area, for homeowners and landlords alike.
Property managers with rental units in town call us when a tenant has no hot water and the problem cannot wait. Homeowners call when something that has been slow for months finally stops working. Whatever the situation, the process is the same: call, get a rate on the phone before anything is scheduled, and know what it covers before a licensed plumber is on site. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
Low water pressure is one of the more frustrating plumbing problems to live with because it rarely announces a single clear cause. In a home that has been standing for several decades, the most common culprit is the pipe itself. Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside, and as mineral deposits accumulate on the interior wall, the effective diameter of the line shrinks. What was once a full flow becomes a trickle at the showerhead, and the problem tends to get worse gradually rather than all at once.
When the pressure problem is isolated to a single faucet or showerhead, the fix is usually at the fixture rather than the line. Aerators clog with mineral scale. Cartridges wear out and restrict flow. A shutoff valve under a sink that was closed partially and never fully reopened will cut pressure to that fixture while the rest of the house runs fine. These are straightforward repairs once the cause is confirmed.
When the problem runs through every fixture in the home, the cause is further upstream. A failing pressure regulator, a partially closed main shutoff valve, or corroded supply lines are the usual suspects. We trace the cause on the visit, explain what we found, and give you a clear picture of the fix before work starts. In older Allouez homes where the original pipe material has reached the end of its useful life, the honest answer is sometimes that spot repairs will keep buying time but a repipe is where the problem actually ends.
A water heater that is not keeping up, running out fast, making rumbling sounds, or showing rust around the connections is telling you something. We diagnose the unit on the visit and repair it where that makes sense. When the unit is past the point of a practical repair, we walk through the replacement options, including tank and tankless, and confirm the rate before anything is scheduled. Domestic hot water is strictly what we handle here: the water you shower with and run through your fixtures.
A refrigerator water line that drips behind the unit or fails to deliver water to the ice maker is a small problem that causes real damage if it goes unnoticed. We connect and repair these supply lines, replace faulty shutoff valves behind the unit, and confirm there are no slow leaks at the connection before we leave.
A faucet that drips when the handle is fully off is wasting water every hour it runs. A tap that has seized and will not turn is a different problem, one that often points to a corroded valve seat or a cartridge that has failed. We repair or replace faucets and taps throughout the home, kitchen and bathroom both, and we carry common replacement parts to handle most repairs on the first visit.
A drain that is slow but still moving is easy to ignore until it backs up entirely. Kitchen drains collect grease and food debris. Bathroom drains fill with hair and soap buildup over time. Main line blockages back up multiple fixtures at once and need more than a plunger. We clear drains with the right equipment for the job, including hydro jetting for grease-heavy lines or main line blockages where a snake alone will not get the result to hold.
A toilet that rocks at the base, leaks at the floor, or runs constantly is worth fixing promptly. A rocking toilet usually means the wax ring has failed, and water that has been seeping under the base can cause floor damage that compounds quickly. We reseat toilets, replace wax rings, repair fill valves and flappers, and handle full toilet replacements when the fixture itself has reached the end of its useful life.
Outdoor hose bibs take more abuse than most fixtures in the house, and in a region where temperatures drop hard in winter, a bib that was not properly shut off and drained before the cold set in is a burst pipe waiting to happen. We repair and replace outdoor taps, install frost-free hose bibs where the existing setup is vulnerable, and connect and service outdoor irrigation supply lines. Before freeze season, we shut off and drain exterior lines that would otherwise hold standing water through the cold months.
When a home has corroded galvanized pipe or aging polybutylene throughout, the conversation eventually turns to repiping. It is a larger project than a single repair, but it is also the one that ends the cycle of recurring leaks, pressure complaints, and discolored water that older pipe causes.
A repipe is staged room by room or section by section so that the home is not without water for the full duration of the job. Water is typically off for a portion of each day while the work in that section is being done, and restored at the end of the day. Licensed plumbers handle the work, and the new pipe runs are done to code. PEX is the material we use most often in this region because it handles freeze-thaw cycles better than rigid pipe and is easier to run through existing wall cavities without opening up every surface.
The honest thing to say about repiping is that it is disruptive. There will be sections of drywall that need to be opened and later patched. The job takes more than a single visit. But for a home where the pipe has genuinely reached the end of its useful life, it is the repair that actually holds. We explain the scope and the staging before anything starts, so a caller knows exactly what the job involves before scheduling.
Homeowners in Allouez often read the page covering plumbing jobs before getting in touch.
Not every plumbing call is the same, and the kind of property and the kind of problem both change what the visit looks like.
A burst pipe, a water heater that fails overnight, a sewer backup, or a drain that blocks completely are all situations where the call needs to happen the same day. We take urgent calls and same-day service is available for situations that will not keep. If water is actively flowing where it should not be, the first step before calling us is to locate the main water shutoff and turn it off to limit the damage.
A slow drain, a faucet that drips, a toilet that runs, or a water heater that is not quite keeping up are problems that can be scheduled rather than handled as emergencies. These calls make up most of what we do in a town like Allouez. The fix is often straightforward once we are on site. Getting it on the calendar before it becomes an emergency is the better outcome for everyone.
Fixture replacement on a renovation, a new water heater before the old one fails, pipe insulation before winter, or a sump pump installation ahead of spring snowmelt are all jobs that benefit from being scheduled rather than reactive. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of job involves. Call and we will talk through what your situation calls for and confirm a rate before anything is booked.
When a plumbing problem in Allouez cannot be put off, the answer is a call. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends. Same-day service is available for urgent situations. For a burst pipe or a major leak, shut off the main water supply first, then call. For a sewer backup, avoid running water in the house until we can assess the line.
We work around tenants and businesses that need to stay operational. When a property has to remain occupied through a repair or a multi-day job, we confirm the plan and the schedule before work starts so there are no unexpected disruptions. Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how we work. The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
The rate is confirmed on the phone before anything is booked. You are told what it covers and what the visit will involve. If the scope changes once a licensed plumber is on site and finds something that was not visible from the outside, you are told before any additional work begins.
What moves a quote is what the fault actually turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A faucet repair that opens up a corroded supply line behind the wall is a different job than a faucet repair where the valve is accessible and the fix is straightforward. We explain the difference when it comes up. We do not proceed past the agreed scope without your approval.
We're one phone call from getting your plumbing right. Call (920) 695-6397 for a quote.
We carry out plumbing work across Allouez and the surrounding communities in Brown County. Nearby towns we regularly serve include Ashwaubenon, Bellevue, De Pere, Green Bay, and Hobart. If you are in the area and need a licensed plumber, call and we will confirm coverage for your address.
It depends on the condition and configuration of the existing supply line, shutoff valve, and drain. We assess the connection when we arrive and let you know whether it can be reused or needs to be replaced before the new fixture goes in.
You receive documentation of the work that was done. If the job involved a permit, the relevant paperwork is handled as part of the job. Ask on the call if you have specific documentation needs, such as for a landlord-tenant record or a property sale.
Yes. We work on existing plumbing regardless of who installed it. We assess the condition and configuration of what is there and handle the repair or installation from that point forward.
An intermittent leak is often a pressure or temperature issue, meaning it shows up under certain conditions and hides otherwise. We look at the likely causes based on when and where it appears, and use pressure testing and inspection to locate it even when it is not actively dripping.
Yes. Sewer line service is a regular part of what we do across this area. A camera inspection sends a video feed through the line so we can see exactly what is causing a recurring backup or a slow drain that keeps returning. Root intrusion, grease accumulation, and pipe damage are the most common findings in older neighborhoods. Once we know what is in the line, we clear it, repair the affected section, or replace the run that has failed, depending on what the inspection shows.
We assess the scope of the problem on the first visit and determine whether the issue is in a shared line or isolated to a single unit. If multiple units are affected, we coordinate access and work through the building systematically so the disruption is managed.
Call us with the details of the property and the problem, and we will confirm a rate and schedule the visit. A tenant can provide access as long as you have authorized the work and can be reached by phone if the scope changes once the plumber is on site. For multi-unit properties where more than one unit needs attention, we coordinate the visits so you are not managing multiple calls. Same-day service is available for urgent situations like no hot water or a backed-up drain.
Most of the calls we get in this area fall into a few predictable categories: frozen or burst pipes after a hard cold snap, sump pump failures during spring snowmelt, water heaters that have been running past their useful life, and main line blockages caused by root intrusion in older pipe. Homes built on basements with aging galvanized pipe also generate recurring pressure complaints and leak calls that often point to the pipe material rather than a single fault. Knowing what to watch for in the kind of housing found here helps us diagnose faster and fix it right.
As early as possible, before walls are closed and before fixtures are positioned. Rough-in work, supply line relocation, and drain placement all need to happen before other trades can finish around them. Calling us at the planning stage prevents expensive rework later.
Not always. It depends on where the work is and whether the water supply needs to be shut off to the whole building. When you call, describe the layout and we can give you a realistic picture of what the visit will require.
Yes. We cover the area we cover, and a single repair at an outlying address is a normal call. The job is scoped and priced on the phone the same way any other visit is.
Timco Plumbing handles drain cleaning, leak repair, water heaters, sewer lines, repiping, frozen pipe repair, sump pump installation, and emergency calls across Allouez and Brown County. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
If you have a job that fits a specific window, such as pipe insulation before the first hard freeze or a sump pump replacement before April snowmelt, call (920) 695-6397 now and get it on the schedule before that window closes. Planned work is easier to do right than reactive work, and the calendar fills up when the season turns.
Call in the morning. Flowing by afternoon. Follow-up when you need it.

From a dripping faucet to a sewer line backup, we handle the full range of plumbing work that Allouez homes and businesses run into. The table below lays out what each service covers, who it fits best, and a practical note to help you decide when to call. Every job is performed by licensed plumbers, and the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled.
| Service Type | What's Included | Best For | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Homeowners dealing with slow or fully blocked drains | A main line blockage can back up multiple fixtures at once. Identifying the cause on the first visit helps prevent the same clog from returning. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular |
| Households with lukewarm water, inconsistent temperature, or a unit past its useful life | Water heater replacement is one of the most common high-value calls we get. We walk through tank versus tankless options and confirm the rate before scheduling. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with noticeably weak flow at multiple fixtures or valves that have seized or begun to leak | Older Allouez homes with galvanized steel supply lines often develop pressure problems as the pipe corrodes from the inside. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Anyone noticing water stains, soft drywall, or an unexplained rise in the water bill | Hidden leaks can run for weeks before they show up visually. Pressure testing and inspection help pinpoint the source before opening walls unnecessarily. |
| Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair |
| Homeowners who have lost water flow during a cold snap or found a pipe that has split | Brown County winters push temperatures well below freezing for days at a time. Pipes in exterior walls, unheated garages, and crawl spaces are most at risk. Call as soon as you suspect a freeze. |
| Pipe Insulation & Winterization |
| Homeowners, landlords, and property managers with exposed supply lines in unheated spaces | Scheduling winterization in the fall costs far less than a burst pipe repair in January. Any home with pipes running through an unheated area is a candidate. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water is actively going where it should not or service cannot wait | We are available every day, 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends. Same-day service is available for urgent calls. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Allouez homeowners with a basement prone to water intrusion during spring snowmelt or heavy rain | Spring snowmelt in Brown County can push significant water toward a basement in a short window. A pump showing signs of failure should be evaluated before the melt season, not after. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Homeowners with a running toilet, a slow flush, or a unit that needs replacing | A continuously running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons per day. Most repairs are straightforward and pay for themselves quickly in water savings. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Anyone with a disposal that hums but will not turn, leaks from the base, or has failed entirely | Most disposal calls are resolved quickly. If the unit is beyond repair, we replace it and confirm the drain connection is clear before leaving. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Homes with recurring backups, slow drains across multiple fixtures, or aging clay or cast iron sewer pipe | Root intrusion and grease accumulation are the most common main line problems in this part of Wisconsin. A camera inspection confirms what is happening before any digging begins. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Kitchen and bathroom remodels or any dripping, seized, or worn-out fixture | Fixture work often goes hand in hand with remodel rough-in. We handle both the installation and any water line adjustments the new fixture requires. |
Call (920) 695-6397 and we will walk you through what the job involves, confirm the rate, and get you on the schedule.
