When you call about a plumbing problem in Howard, you get a straight answer. We ask what is going on, tell you what the job likely involves, and confirm a price before anything is scheduled. Timco Plumbing handles the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Howard, from a dripping faucet or a slow drain to a burst pipe in the middle of a cold snap. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and same-day service is available when the situation calls for it.
Howard is a town with a mix of established homes, newer subdivisions, and active commercial properties. That mix means the calls we get here run the full range: older homes with original supply lines, rental units needing quick turnarounds, businesses that cannot afford a plumbing problem to linger, and new construction tie-ins that need to be done right the first time. Whatever the situation, we treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. When you call (920) 695-6397, you reach someone who can take the details, give you a rate, and get a licensed plumber scheduled. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends. Same-day appointments are often available, and for urgent situations, we prioritize getting someone out as quickly as the day allows.
For problems that will not wait, we handle them as the emergencies they are. A burst pipe, a sewer backup, or a water heater that has stopped working overnight are not situations to put on a waiting list. We take those calls, confirm what is needed, and get moving.
If the work is happening at a rental property or a business that needs to stay open, let us know when you call. We work around tenant access and operating hours where we can, and we confirm the logistics before the visit so everyone knows what to expect. The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
A hidden leak inside a wall, under a floor, or behind a cabinet can run for a long time before it shows up as a stain, a soft patch of drywall, or a mildew smell with no obvious source. By the time the visible damage appears, the water has usually traveled some distance from where the pipe is actually failing. The damage and the cause are often in completely different places.
We use pressure testing and inspection techniques to locate the source without opening up every wall in the house. Once we know where the leak is, we explain what has to come apart to reach it and confirm the scope before any work begins.
Low water pressure is another problem that points away from its own cause. A single fixture running weak usually means something local: a partially closed valve, a clogged aerator, or a failing cartridge. Pressure that is low throughout the whole home points further back in the system, toward corroded supply lines, a failing pressure regulator, or a main shutoff that is not fully open. We run water pressure diagnostics to identify which situation you are dealing with before recommending a fix.
A shutoff valve that will not close all the way is a problem you do not notice until you need it most. Valves on older supply lines can seize, corrode, or fail to seat properly after years without being operated. We replace failed shutoff and isolation valves and confirm the line holds before we leave. This is also a common repair after a leak is found, since reaching the pipe often means isolating it first.
While most homes in this area sit on basements rather than slabs, slab construction does exist in the region, and a leak under a concrete floor is one of the harder problems to locate without the right approach. We use pressure testing to isolate the affected line and identify the leak point before any concrete is disturbed. Repairs are planned to minimize disruption, and we confirm the line is holding before the work is closed up.
A new appliance connection looks straightforward until a supply line is the wrong size, a drain is not vented correctly, or a shutoff valve behind the unit has not been touched in fifteen years. We handle washing machine and dishwasher hookups as plumbing work, not as an afterthought. That means checking the supply lines, the drain connection, and the shutoff valves so the installation holds up the way it should.
Gas line work on the supply side falls within our scope. That includes running a new gas line to a water heater, extending an existing line, and repairing a line that is leaking or has been damaged. We stay on the supply side of the appliance connection. The appliance itself, its venting, and any heating or cooling function it performs are separate trades. If you are adding or relocating a gas-fired water heater, we handle the line work.
A shower that runs cold, a valve that will not hold a temperature, or a handle that turns without doing much are all symptoms of a worn cartridge or a failing mixer valve. These repairs are more involved than they look from the outside, since reaching the valve usually means working through the wall or the shower surround. We diagnose the valve, replace the cartridge or the full valve body as needed, and confirm the temperature and pressure are right before we leave.
Most of the practical detail is on the page on pipe work.
Most calls start with something that has stopped working or started behaving differently. A drain that has slowed, a toilet that runs between flushes, a faucet that drips after the handle is closed. These jobs begin with a diagnosis. We find out what is actually wrong before recommending a fix, because the visible symptom and the underlying cause are not always the same thing. Drain cleaning and clog removal, faucet and sink repair, and toilet repair and replacement all fall into this category, and the repair is scoped once we know what we are dealing with.
Some calls are not emergencies. A homeowner who wants to upgrade fixtures before listing a property, a landlord replacing a water heater before the current one fails, a business adding a utility sink to a back room. These jobs are scheduled at a time that works, the scope is confirmed on the call, and the work is done to code. We handle fixture installation, water heater replacement, and appliance connections on this kind of planned schedule as readily as we handle urgent repairs.
A main line problem tends to announce itself clearly: multiple fixtures backing up at once, a gurgling drain, or a sewer smell with no visible source. Root intrusion and grease accumulation are common causes in established neighborhoods. We inspect, clean, and repair sewer lines, including trenchless sewer repair where the site allows. We work on the line from the house to where it exits the property. The full breakdown of what each type of job involves is on the service page.
No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing that holds up after we leave.
The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. When you call, we ask about the problem, the property type, and any details that help us scope the job accurately. You get a rate on the phone and are told what it covers. Ask what is included and you get a straight answer.
What moves a quote is what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. If a licensed plumber arrives on site and finds a more involved situation than what was described on the call, we explain what changed and confirm the updated scope before continuing. Work does not proceed past what was agreed without your go-ahead.
We do not charge differently based on whether the call is for a home or a commercial property. The rate reflects the work, and the work is explained before it starts.
We cover Howard and the surrounding communities throughout Brown County. That includes Suamico, Ashwaubenon, Hobart, Allouez, and Green Bay. Whether the call comes from a home in Howard or a rental property in a neighboring town, we handle it the same way.
If you are not sure whether your address falls within our service area, call (920) 695-6397 and we will confirm it on the spot.
Howard's housing stock includes a range of older and newer construction, and the calls we get reflect that. Frozen and burst pipe repairs are a regular part of the work through winter and early spring, along with sump pump failures during snowmelt and supply line issues in homes with aging pipe. We diagnose the problem on the visit, explain what we found, and confirm the scope before the repair begins. Call (920) 695-6397 and we will talk through what you are seeing.
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 serve Howard and the surrounding communities throughout Brown County, including Suamico, Hobart, Ashwaubenon, Allouez, and Green Bay. If you are calling from a neighboring town and want to confirm coverage at your address, call (920) 695-6397 and we will verify it on the call.
Someone needs to be present or available to provide access when the plumber arrives. If you cannot be there yourself, a tenant, a property manager, or another authorized person can provide access as long as they can reach you by phone if decisions need to be made during the visit.
Turn off any electrical supply to the unit if there is standing water near it, and call (920) 695-6397 right away. Spring snowmelt in this region can move a significant amount of water toward a basement in a short period, and a failed sump pump during that window can mean a flooded space fast. We handle sump pump replacement and installation, and same-day service is often available for situations like this. We confirm availability and a rate when you call.
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.
If you manage several properties and want a consistent point of contact for plumbing calls across all of them, call us and we can talk through how that works. The details are worked out before any visits are scheduled.
Get it up as quickly as you can with towels, a mop, or a wet vacuum to limit damage to flooring and walls. Turn off the main water shutoff if water is still flowing, then call (920) 695-6397 so we can get a licensed plumber headed your way.
A toilet that runs continuously can waste hundreds of gallons per day, which adds up on the water bill faster than most people expect. It is worth fixing promptly, and the repair is usually straightforward once the cause is identified.

| 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 Howard 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 |
| Howard 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. |
