Drain clogs are the call we get most often from Green Bay. A city this size runs a lot of pipe: apartment buildings cycling between tenants, commercial kitchens under daily pressure, and older residential neighborhoods where the original supply lines are still doing the work they were installed to do decades ago. Timco Plumbing handles all of it, from a single clogged kitchen drain to a full repiping project on a multi-unit building.
The work covers the full range of residential and commercial plumbing. Leak detection and repair, water heater service, sewer line clearing and inspection, fixture installation, sump pump work, frozen and burst pipe repair, and emergency calls that cannot wait. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Call (920) 695-6397 for a quote.
Not every plumbing call is the same, and the kind of property matters as much as the problem itself. A clogged drain in a single-family home is a different job from a main line backup in a building with multiple units. A water heater replacement in a finished basement calls for different planning than one in an open utility room. Understanding the situation is how we figure out the right approach before we show up.
Some calls come in because something stopped working. No hot water, a drain that will not clear, a pipe that is making noise or losing pressure. These are diagnostic visits first. We locate the source, assess what is actually going on, and explain what the fix involves before any work begins. Hidden leaks, pressure problems, and recurring drain backups all fall here. The cause is not always where the symptom is, and finding it correctly the first time is what keeps the problem from coming back.
Other calls are not emergencies. A water heater that is aging out, a toilet that has been running for months, fixtures going in during a bathroom update, or a landlord replacing a disposal between tenants. These are jobs where the scope is known going in, the parts can be sourced ahead of time, and the visit can be scheduled around the property's schedule. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own, whether the job is urgent or planned.
Restaurants, retail spaces, office buildings, and apartment complexes all generate plumbing work that does not stop because a tenant is on site or a kitchen is mid-service. We work around occupied spaces and coordinate with property managers who need the job handled without disrupting the building. The full breakdown of what we cover is on the service page.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. The more clearly you can describe what is happening, the faster we can give you an accurate rate. You do not need to know the cause. You need to know the symptom.
It helps to know whether the problem is at one fixture or affecting the whole property, whether water is actively flowing where it should not be, and whether this is a first occurrence or something that keeps coming back. For water heater calls, knowing the type of unit and roughly how old it is moves things along. For drain calls, knowing which fixtures are affected and whether anything was recently put down the drain helps us figure out where to start.
When you call, we ask a few questions, give you a rate on the phone, and confirm what it covers before anything is scheduled. The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
Same-day service is available for urgent situations. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends, and we offer prompt response even for last-minute plumbing calls. When a pipe has burst, a sewer has backed up, or a water heater has failed overnight, we treat it as the emergency it is.
For non-urgent work, we confirm an appointment window when you book so you know when to expect the visit. If you are a property manager scheduling a call at a tenant-occupied unit, let us know when you call and we will work out the access details. Businesses that need to stay open during the visit get the same consideration. We confirm who is coming and when, and we work around the property's schedule where we can.
No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing handled on a timeline that works for the property.
If the scope is still open, the page about drains and pipes is the place to start.
The rate is confirmed on the phone before the visit is booked. You are told what it covers and what the visit will involve. That is how it works on every call.
What can change a quote is what the job turns out to require once a licensed plumber is on site. A drain clog that turns out to be a main line issue, a water heater replacement that reveals a corroded shutoff valve, or a leak repair that requires opening a wall to reach the pipe. If the scope changes, you are told before the work continues. Nothing proceeds past the agreed scope without your go-ahead.
The things that move a price are the fault itself and what has to come apart to reach it. We do not add charges after the fact without explaining them first. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer.
Older homes and buildings in this area were commonly plumbed with galvanized steel, which corrodes from the inside over time. The result is reduced flow, discolored water, and leaks at joints that have weakened. Polybutylene pipe from a different era fails differently, becoming brittle and prone to cracking. Both materials have reached the end of their useful life in most properties where they are still in place. We replace them in sections where the damage is isolated, or across the whole property when spot repairs are no longer practical.
Regional winters push pipes in exterior walls, unheated garages, and crawl spaces past their limit. A frozen pipe cuts off water flow. A burst pipe floods fast and causes damage that compounds by the hour. We locate the freeze point, thaw the line safely, and repair or replace the section that failed. If you have no water and suspect a freeze, the right move is to shut off the main and call immediately.
When a building has reached the point where repairs are happening repeatedly across different sections of the same aging pipe, a full repipe is the more practical answer. We install PEX, which handles freeze-thaw cycles well and is durable across a wide range of conditions. We assess what is in place, explain the scope, and confirm the price before the work starts. Trenchless sewer repair is part of what we offer for main line work where the site allows it.
Backflow preventers stop contaminated water from flowing back into the supply. They are required on certain commercial and multi-unit properties and are worth verifying on any property where the water supply connects to irrigation or other outdoor systems. We inspect, test, and replace backflow prevention devices as needed.
A jammed or failed disposal is a common call from kitchens of all kinds. We repair units that can be salvaged and replace those that cannot, making sure the drain connection and wiring setup are correct before we leave. Shutoff valve replacement often comes up alongside disposal work when the valve under the sink has not been touched in years and will not fully close.
A failing pressure regulator can produce low pressure throughout the whole property or, in some cases, pressure that is too high and stressing the fixtures and connections. We diagnose the cause of pressure problems, replace regulators that have failed, and check the shutoff valves and supply lines while we are there. Fixture installation, whether a new faucet, a replacement toilet, or a showerhead upgrade, is part of the same visit when the scope calls for it.
We handle plumbing calls across Green Bay and the surrounding Brown County communities. That includes Allouez, Bellevue, Howard, Ashwaubenon, and Suamico. Whether the call is from a single-family home, a rental property, or a commercial building anywhere in the area, the work is handled the same way.
Call (920) 695-6397 and we will confirm that your address is within our service range.
For most repairs, yes. Water may need to be shut off to the affected fixture or to the whole house for part of the visit, but we restore service before we leave. For larger projects like repiping, we will tell you upfront what to expect in terms of disruption.
Payment is typically collected when the work is complete. The rate is confirmed before the visit is scheduled, so there are no unknowns going into it.
Galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain pipes are common in older Green Bay homes, and both materials deteriorate in ways that show up gradually. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, narrowing the flow and eventually causing leaks at weakened joints. Cast iron drains develop cracks and root intrusion over time. If your home is losing water pressure, producing discolored water, or backing up repeatedly, the pipe material is often where the problem starts. We assess what is in place and explain the options before any work is scheduled.
A drain smell is most often a dry or deteriorated P-trap, which is the curved section of pipe that holds water to block sewer gases. It can also indicate a venting problem or a buildup of organic debris in the line. A plumber can identify the source and fix it in the same visit in most cases.
Yes. Adding a hose bib or exterior spigot is a standard plumbing job. We run the supply line from an interior source, install the tap, and make sure it is set up with a shutoff so it can be winterized before freeze season.
Yes. We take plumbing calls from property managers, landlords, and business operators across Green Bay alongside residential work. The scope and coordination look different on a multi-unit building or a commercial kitchen than on a single-family home, and we account for that when we schedule the visit. If you manage multiple properties and need service across more than one address, let us know when you call and we will work out the details.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends. Calls that come in during those hours can be scheduled for the same day when the situation is urgent.
Yes. We assess what is already in place, confirm it meets code, and continue from there. We will tell you if anything already done needs to be corrected before we can proceed.
Yes. Before leaving, the plumber confirms the repair is complete and the system is functioning. If something was found during the visit that you should know about going forward, that is explained before the job is closed out.

| 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 Green Bay 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 |
| Green Bay 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. |
