When something goes wrong with the plumbing in your Hobart home, the first question is usually the same: how fast can someone get out here? Timco Plumbing handles plumbing calls across Hobart and the surrounding Brown County area, and we are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Call (920) 695-6397 and you get a rate before anything is scheduled.
Hobart is a town built largely on residential lots, and the calls we take reflect that. Homeowners dealing with a drain that has stopped moving, a water heater that quit overnight, a pipe that froze in the wall, a sump pump that needs replacing before snowmelt season. Businesses and landlords managing properties that need reliable plumbing without a lot of back and forth. Whatever the situation, work is performed by licensed plumbers, and we treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call, but it helps to know what we cover. The list is broad, and it runs from straightforward repairs to full fixture installation and repiping projects.
A washing machine or dishwasher that is not connected correctly can leak slowly behind the wall for a long time before anyone notices the damage. We install and reconnect supply lines and drain connections properly, confirm there are no slow leaks at the fitting, and make sure the connection is up to code before we leave.
Swapping out a sink or vanity sounds simple until you are dealing with supply lines that do not line up, a drain that is in the wrong position, or shutoff valves that have not moved in years. We handle the full installation, including any valve work the existing plumbing needs before the new fixture goes in.
Shower and tub installation involves valve bodies, supply connections, drain assembly, and in some cases moving existing lines to suit the new layout. We do the rough-in and the finish work, and we confirm the valve and drain are functioning correctly before the job is closed out.
A tankless unit heats water on demand rather than keeping a tank warm around the clock, which makes it a practical choice for households that want a steady supply without the standby energy loss. Installation involves the gas line connection, proper venting, and the cold supply and hot outlet lines. We size the unit to the household's actual demand and confirm the gas line can support it before the install begins.
Beyond those four, we handle drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and pipe repair, tank water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet work, sewer and main line service, garbage disposal installation, water pressure diagnosis, shutoff valve replacement, and repiping. The service page carries the full breakdown.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, but there are a few things worth doing the moment something goes wrong, before the plumber is on site.
If water is actively flowing where it should not be, the main shutoff is the first thing to find. In most Hobart homes it sits near the water meter, often in the basement along the front wall of the house, or in a utility area near the furnace. Turning it off stops the flow and limits how much damage accumulates while you wait.
For a problem at a single fixture, most toilets have a shutoff valve on the supply line behind the base. Sinks have valves under the cabinet. Turning those stops the water at that fixture without cutting the whole house. If a pipe is dripping inside a wall or ceiling, placing a container under the lowest point and keeping the area clear of electrical outlets is the practical step while help is on the way. Call (920) 695-6397 and we will walk you through anything else that needs doing before we arrive.
Most of the practical detail is on our plumbing work page.
A plumbing visit does not start with tools. It starts with a conversation about what you have seen and when it started, followed by a look at the affected area and the surrounding plumbing.
Licensed plumbers locate the source of a problem before recommending a fix. A slow drain might be a partial blockage at the trap, a buildup further down the line, or a venting issue that makes the whole drain system sluggish. A water heater that is not keeping up might need an element replaced, or it might be at the end of its useful life. The diagnosis shapes the recommendation, and the recommendation is explained before any work begins.
Once the cause is identified, you get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and a price that covers it. If the scope changes because of something found during the repair, you are told before work continues past the original agreement. Nothing proceeds without your go-ahead. That is how every visit works, whether it is a straightforward fixture swap or a more involved repair that requires opening a wall.
The sooner you call, the sooner the water is back on, and that applies whether the problem is an emergency or something you have been watching for a few days.
We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends. Same-day service is available for urgent situations. Burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and major leaks are handled as priority calls. Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how we work.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the schedule. A rental property with an occupied unit, a business that cannot shut down a kitchen or a restroom for the day, a landlord coordinating access on behalf of a tenant. Call and we'll handle the logistics along with the plumbing.
The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
Not every call is the same, and the kind of housing in a town like Hobart means the work varies considerably from one address to the next.
Some calls are straightforward: a toilet that runs constantly, a faucet that drips, a garbage disposal that has stopped working. Others take more investigation. A pipe that has started weeping at a joint, a drain that backs up every few weeks, a water heater that is making noise and not recovering the way it used to. We diagnose the cause and repair it, and we explain what we found in plain terms before the invoice is written.
When a fixture or appliance has reached the point where repair is no longer the practical answer, replacement is the conversation. Water heaters that are corroding internally, toilets with cracked tanks or worn valves, shutoff valves that have seized. We assess what you have, explain the options, and confirm the price before anything is removed.
A kitchen or bathroom renovation, a new appliance hookup, a tankless water heater upgrade, or a repiping project on a home where the original pipe material has run its course. These are scheduled jobs with a defined scope, and they benefit from a proper plan before the first fitting is touched. We handle the supply connections, the drain work, the gas line where it applies, and any permit coordination the project requires. Let us handle the plumbing and the permits.
When you call for a quote, you get a rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. The price is confirmed before the visit is booked, and you are told what it covers.
What moves a quote is what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A clog at the trap is a different job from a main line blockage that needs camera inspection and hydro jetting. A water heater element swap is a different scope from a full unit replacement with new connections and a venting adjustment. A dripping faucet is a different conversation from a repiping project on a home that has been patched repeatedly over the years.
No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing and a price that reflects the actual work. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer. Call in the morning. Flowing by afternoon. Follow-up when you need it.
We carry out plumbing work throughout Hobart and the surrounding communities in Brown County. That includes Ashwaubenon, De Pere, Howard, Allouez, and Green Bay. If your address falls within the area and you are not sure whether we cover it, call and we will confirm before anything is scheduled.
Residential calls, rental properties, commercial buildings, and multi-unit addresses are all part of the workload. One call is enough to get the visit arranged.
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 a rental property and want the tenant to call us directly, that works fine. When you book the job, let us know the tenant will be the point of contact on site so we can reach the right person when the plumber is on the way.
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.
Often yes. When you call, walk us through everything you want looked at and we will scope the visit accordingly. Grouping smaller jobs into one appointment is usually more efficient than scheduling them separately.
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.
Yes. We work with landlords, property managers, and business owners across Hobart and the surrounding area. A rental unit with an occupied tenant, a commercial kitchen that needs a drain cleared, a multi-unit building with a water heater that has stopped keeping up. Call (920) 695-6397 and tell us what the situation involves, and we will work out the scheduling from there.
A burst pipe from a single freeze event typically calls for a section repair rather than a full repipe, assuming the rest of the pipe is in reasonable condition. A full repipe becomes the practical answer when the same sections keep failing, when the pipe material throughout the home has deteriorated, or when pressure problems are showing up at multiple points. We assess what you have on the visit and explain the options before recommending either.
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.
Homes in a town like Hobart tend to run on full basements rather than slabs, which means sump pump calls are common heading into spring. Frozen and burst pipes are a regular part of the winter workload across this region, particularly in homes where supply lines run through exterior walls or unheated spaces. Drain cleaning, water heater repair and replacement, and fixture installation round out the most common calls we take in the area.
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.

| 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 Hobart 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 |
| Hobart 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. |
