A bathroom remodel, a new appliance going in, a water heater that needs replacing before it fails completely. These are the jobs worth getting right the first time, and they are also the jobs where calling early makes the whole project go smoother. Timco Plumbing handles plumbing work across Appleton and the surrounding area, from planned installations to the kind of problem that shows up without warning and needs attention the same day.
Appleton is a city with a real mix of housing. Older homes on the west side of town carry pipe that has been in the walls for decades. Newer construction has its own set of considerations. Rental units, small businesses, and single-family homes each put different demands on the plumbing. Whatever the situation, the work is performed by licensed plumbers, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and we are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
Plumbing calls in a city this size do not all look the same, and the right approach depends on what the situation actually is. A homeowner dealing with a slow drain has a different problem from a landlord whose tenant just reported a burst pipe, and both of those are different from a property manager scheduling fixture replacements across several units before a new tenant moves in. The full breakdown of what we handle is on the service page, but the work generally divides into three situations.
Some calls start with a symptom and no clear cause. Low water pressure throughout the house. A drain that keeps backing up after it has already been cleared. A water bill that crept up without an obvious explanation. These are diagnostic jobs, and they take time to do correctly. We identify the source before recommending a fix, because a repair aimed at the wrong point is money and disruption spent on the wrong thing.
A pipe that has split, a water heater that stopped producing hot water, a toilet that will not stop running, a shutoff valve that has seized and will not close. These are repairs where the cause is clear and the job is to fix it properly and confirm it is holding before we leave. When the job is done, we leave your home clean and dry, and we do not consider the visit finished until the system is working the way it should.
A new bathroom, a kitchen renovation, a tankless water heater going in where a tank unit used to be. Planned work benefits from being scheduled ahead, because the right parts can be confirmed in advance and the job can be scoped accurately before anyone shows up. If you are coordinating with a contractor or a builder on a larger project, we can work around that timeline. Let us handle the plumbing and the permits.
Yes. Properties outside Appleton's city limits, including rural addresses in Outagamie County, are covered. Rural properties do sometimes present different plumbing situations. A home on a private well has a pressure tank and a pump that a city-connected property does not. Long supply runs from the meter to the house, or from a well to an outbuilding, are more common on rural lots and can affect pressure and flow in ways that a shorter run would not.
What makes a rural property straightforward to work on is access and information. Knowing where the main shutoff is, whether the property has a private well or a shared supply, and where the sewer line exits the building all help us scope the job accurately on the phone and avoid surprises on the visit. If you are not sure about any of those details, that is fine. We ask the questions that matter when you call.
A shower or bath installation is not just the fixture. It is the rough-in, the drain, the supply connections, and making sure the water pressure and flow rate are right for the fixture being installed. Whether it is a new bathroom going in from scratch or a fixture swap in an existing space, the plumbing side of the job needs to be done to code and done in the right order so the finish work can follow without having to come back and open walls again.
A shutoff valve that will not fully close is a problem waiting to become an emergency. In older Appleton homes, valves that have not been turned in years can seize or fail when they are finally needed. We replace main shutoffs, fixture isolation valves, and supply line valves. It is one of those repairs that is easy to put off and much harder to deal with when a pipe has burst and the water will not stop.
A leak inside a wall or under a floor can run for a long time before it becomes visible. Soft drywall, a persistent mildew smell, or a water bill that does not match usage are the usual signs. We locate the source using pressure testing and inspection techniques, repair the affected section, and confirm the line is holding before the visit ends. Getting to a hidden leak early limits the damage and the cost of what comes after.
Where a supply line runs under a concrete floor rather than through a basement or crawl space, a leak at that point is harder to find and harder to reach. We locate the leak point and assess the best way to address it, which sometimes means accessing the line directly and sometimes means rerouting the supply through a different path. The right approach depends on the pipe material, the age of the system, and the layout of the property.
Water filtration and softener installation, repiping, and the other job types on the full service list are also part of what we handle across Appleton and the surrounding area.
The price for a plumbing job is shaped by what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A straightforward fixture replacement is a different scope from a repair that requires opening a wall or pulling a toilet to access the drain. We confirm the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled, and we explain what that price covers so there are no open questions going in.
If the scope changes once a licensed plumber is on site and something unexpected is found, you are told before any additional work begins. Work does not continue past the agreed scope without your go-ahead. No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing and a straight answer when you ask what something costs.
The detail lives on our guide to plumbing work.
Same-day availability is real, and it applies to urgent situations as well as scheduled calls. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends. When a problem will not keep, we treat it that way. Burst pipes, sewer backups, no hot water, and major leaks are handled as the urgent calls they are.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the situation. A commercial kitchen cannot shut down for a full day, and a tenant should not have to wait longer than necessary for a repair. Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how we work. The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
When you call, have a short description of the problem ready: what is happening, where in the property, and whether the water is currently off or still running. We ask a few questions to scope the job accurately, give you a rate on the phone, and confirm what it covers before the visit is booked.
If you are a property manager or landlord coordinating access at a tenant-occupied address, let us know on the call and we will work out the details. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Call (920) 695-6397.
We cover Appleton and the surrounding communities throughout Outagamie County. That includes Kimberly, Little Chute, Combined Locks, Menasha, and Fox Crossing. If your address is in the area and you are not sure whether it falls within our range, call and we will confirm.
Coverage means the work is done here, by licensed plumbers working in this area. Whether the call comes from a rental property in Little Chute, a home in Combined Locks, or a business in Appleton, the service is the same.
The rate we give you on the phone is for the job as described, and we explain what it covers. If you want to understand how the price breaks down, ask on the call and you will get a straight answer.
That depends on the scope and what is practical to leave incomplete between visits. When you call, describe the full project and we can talk through what makes sense to do first and what can follow later.
Older homes in Appleton and across Outagamie County often still carry galvanized steel supply lines that have corroded from the inside over the years, reducing flow and sometimes affecting water quality. We assess what is in place on the visit and explain whether spot repairs make sense or whether the pipe has reached the point where a full repipe is the more practical path. Either way, you get a clear picture of the options before any work begins.
We tell you before we do anything about it. The original scope is what was agreed and priced, and any additional work is explained and confirmed with you before it begins.
Yes. If you manage multiple properties and need plumbing work handled across more than one address, we can schedule those calls without you needing to coordinate separate contractors for each one. Call (920) 695-6397, describe the properties and what each one needs, and we will work out a schedule that fits the situation.
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.
Yes. Landlords who want a consistent plumbing contact for multiple properties can set that up when they call. We work out the details of how calls and scheduling are handled before anything is booked.
The plumbing work itself follows the same process, but we understand that downtime matters more in a commercial kitchen. When you call, let us know it is a food premises and we will take the scheduling into account.
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.

| 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 Appleton 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 | Outagamie 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 |
| Appleton homeowners with a basement prone to water intrusion during spring snowmelt or heavy rain | Spring snowmelt in Outagamie 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. |
