When a property manager calls about a backed-up drain at a rental unit, or a contractor needs a plumber on site before the next trade arrives, the job has to happen on someone else's schedule. That is the kind of call we handle every day. Timco Plumbing covers Little Chute for the full range of plumbing work, from routine repairs on a tenant-occupied property to urgent fixes that cannot wait until next week.
Little Chute is a town where a lot of the housing stock carries its age in the pipes. Older homes on their original supply lines, additions that were plumbed without a lot of documentation, and basements that have seen decades of Wisconsin winters are all part of what we work with here. Landlords, property managers, and homeowners call us when the problem is real and needs a plumber who will show up, assess it honestly, and do the work right.
The sooner you call, the sooner the water is back on, and the sooner you know what you are dealing with. When you call for a quote, you get a rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. You are told what that price covers and what the visit will involve.
What moves a quote is usually one of two things: what the fault turns out to be, and what has to come apart to reach it. A slow drain that clears with a snake is a different job from one that needs hydro jetting to break up years of grease and scale. A leaking supply line behind drywall takes longer to access than one under a sink. We explain the scope before the work begins, and if something changes once a licensed plumber is on site, you are told before anything proceeds past the original scope.
Getting a quote starts with a phone call to (920) 695-6397. Ask what the price covers and you get a straight answer.
Some properties in and around Little Chute have characteristics that make a plumbing job more involved than it first appears. A home on a private well rather than a municipal supply has its own pressure dynamics. A long run of pipe from the meter to the house, or from the main stack to an outbuilding or addition, creates more opportunity for problems to develop and more ground to cover when they do.
What makes a property straightforward to work on is access and documentation. When a homeowner knows where the main shutoff is, which fixtures share a drain run, and whether the basement has been plumbed into over the years, the diagnostic part of the visit goes faster. When none of that is known, we work through it methodically. It takes longer, but it gets done right.
Hard water is common across this part of Wisconsin, and it leaves its mark on pipes, fixtures, and water heaters over time. Mineral scale builds up inside supply lines, reduces flow, and shortens the life of appliances. That is worth knowing when a pressure problem or a water heater issue comes up, because the fix sometimes goes deeper than the symptom.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including weekends, and same-day service is often available for urgent situations.
A burst pipe, a sewer backup, no hot water in the middle of January, a major leak that is actively running: these are not problems to schedule for next week. When a situation will not keep, call (920) 695-6397 and describe what is happening. We ask a few questions, give you a rate on the phone, and get the visit arranged.
Not every call is an emergency, but most of them still have timing constraints. A tenant who needs to be home, a restaurant that cannot shut down a kitchen drain during service hours, a property manager coordinating access across multiple units: we work around those realities. Let us know the situation when you call and we will find an appointment window that fits.
The call gets answered and the job gets scheduled.
our drain guide explains how the work is handled.
A drain that clears and then blocks again within weeks is telling you something about what is further down the line. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clear grease, scale, and debris from the pipe wall rather than just punching a hole through the blockage. It is a more thorough solution for drains that have a history of coming back, particularly in kitchen lines and older cast-iron drain runs.
When a main line problem keeps recurring, or a backup has no obvious cause at the fixture level, a camera inspection shows exactly what is happening inside the pipe. Root intrusion, a collapsed section, an offset joint, or a crack in the line all look different on screen and each leads to a different repair. We run the camera, show you what it found, and explain the options before any work is scoped.
A failing pressure regulator is one of the less obvious causes of plumbing problems in a home. When it starts to go, it can either let pressure run too high, which stresses fixtures and supply lines, or drop too low, which leaves the whole house with weak flow. Replacing it is a straightforward job once the cause is confirmed.
Hard water in this region does real damage over time. A softener removes the minerals that build up in pipes and shorten the life of water heaters and fixtures. We install softeners and filtration systems on the supply side, connecting them to the existing plumbing and confirming the system is working before we leave.
Though most homes in this area sit on basements rather than slabs, some properties and commercial buildings do have slab construction. A leak under a concrete slab is not something that shows itself easily. We locate it using pressure testing, access it with the least disruption possible, and repair the line.
A lot of calls start with a symptom and no clear cause. Water where it should not be, a drain that is slow on one side of the house, a toilet that runs intermittently overnight. We diagnose the problem first and then repair it. That sequence matters because the right repair depends on knowing what actually failed, not just what it looks like from the outside.
Older homes in Little Chute often reach a point where spot repairs stop making sense. A water heater that has been patched twice, galvanized pipe that is corroding from the inside, a shutoff valve that has seized. When the repair cost is close to the replacement cost, or when the underlying material has reached the end of its useful life, replacement is the honest recommendation. We explain the reasoning and let you decide.
Not every call is a breakdown. Fixture upgrades, a new garbage disposal, a sump pump installation before spring snowmelt arrives, pipe insulation ahead of freeze season: these are jobs that go more smoothly when they are planned rather than reactive. The service page carries the full breakdown of what we install and what each job involves.
We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own, and that applies whether the visit is an emergency or a scheduled upgrade.
A water heater that is struggling usually gives warnings before it fails. Lukewarm water, slow recovery between uses, rumbling or popping from inside the tank, and rust-colored water at the hot tap are all signs the unit is working harder than it should. In a home that has been extended, the original water heater may simply be undersized for the current demand.
We diagnose before recommending a replacement. A thermostat or heating element issue on a tank unit is a repair. A tank that is corroding internally, or a unit that has reached the end of its service life, is a replacement. For properties where a tankless unit would suit the usage and the infrastructure supports the installation, we walk through that option as well.
Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, extends to water heater failures. No hot water in a rental unit or a business is not a problem that can wait several days, and we treat it accordingly.

If you are not sure whether your address falls within our range, call (920) 695-6397 and we will confirm it on the spot.
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.
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.
Ask what the work involves step by step, what will be shut off and for how long, whether any finishes like drywall or tile will need to be opened up, and what the price covers. A clear answer to each of those questions before you agree is reasonable to expect.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Older homes often have supply lines and drain runs that have been modified over the years without documentation, which means a plumber sometimes has to trace what is there before diagnosing what is wrong. Galvanized pipe that has corroded internally, original cast-iron drain lines, and additions plumbed without permits all add complexity. We work through it methodically and explain what we find before the repair is scoped.

| 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 Little Chute 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 |
| Little Chute 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. |
