When something goes wrong with the plumbing in your home or rental property, the first question is usually the same: what does a visit actually cover, and what will it cost. A service call covers diagnosis, a clear explanation of what is going on, and the repair itself once the scope is agreed. What it does not cover is work that was not discussed, or a price that changes after the fact. You get the rate confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the job does not start until you have agreed to it.
We handle the full range of plumbing work in Howard, from a running toilet or a dripping faucet to a sewer line backup or a failed water heater. We service this area because we know its homes and the plumbing behind the walls.
Whether you are dealing with a single fixture that needs attention or something that has taken out a whole section of the system, call (920) 695-6397 and we will scope it on the call. We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
A bathroom addition or a kitchen remodel runs into trouble fast when the plumbing trade shows up after decisions have already been made. Drain locations, vent runs, and supply line routing all affect where walls can go and what the finished layout will actually look like. Getting us in early means those questions get answered before the framing is set rather than after the tile is down.
We work alongside the other trades on renovation and new construction jobs. That means coordinating around inspections, fitting the rough-in work into the sequence the general contractor is running, and being available when the schedule calls for it rather than when it is convenient. A bathroom addition, a laundry room rough-in, or a full kitchen plumbing relocation all involve the same basic need: someone who can read what the job requires and show up at the right point in it.
Permit and inspection work is part of this. Plumbing that runs through walls and under floors in Howard has to meet code, and we handle the documentation and inspection coordination that goes with it. Code-compliant plumbing is not a bonus on a renovation job. It is what makes the finished work stand up to a future inspection.
For busy homeowners and property managers, the hardest part of a plumbing problem is often not the repair itself but the timing. A tenant's unit needs to stay livable. A business cannot shut down a bathroom for three days. A burst pipe in January does not care that it is a weekend.
We take short-notice calls and work to fit urgent jobs into the schedule. When you call, we find out what is happening, scope the job, and confirm what the schedule allows. If the situation is urgent, we say so and work accordingly. If it can wait a day, we tell you that too.
For properties with tenants, we can coordinate directly with whoever needs to be present for access, and we work around occupancy rather than asking a renter to take a day off. The goal is to get the problem handled without creating a second problem around it.
Most plumbing repairs come in with a clear scope: a fixture that needs replacing, a drain that needs clearing, a water heater that has stopped heating. Those are straightforward to quote on the call. You describe what you are seeing, we ask a few questions, and you get a number before anything is scheduled.
What changes a quote is what the job turns out to be once it is open. A drain clog that looks routine from the outside can turn into a corroded section of pipe that has to come out. A water heater swap can reveal a venting issue that needs addressing before the new unit goes in. When that happens, we stop and talk through it before we proceed. You are not handed a revised invoice at the end.
A price agreed before we start. Flexible timing. Sound pipes.
The only way to get an accurate number is to describe the situation on the call.
Call (920) 695-6397 and we will tell you what the job involves and what it will cost.
In a region where temperatures drop well below freezing and stay there, pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and utility areas that lose heat overnight are at real risk. A pipe that freezes and splits before it thaws can release a significant amount of water in a short window. The repair involves locating the affected section, stopping the flow, and replacing the damaged run. We confirm the system is holding before we leave.
Homes in this part of Brown County sit on basements, and spring snowmelt puts real pressure on basement drainage. A sump pump that fails during a heavy thaw can flood a finished basement in hours. We install, service, and replace sump pumps, including checking the float, the discharge line, and the pit condition. If the unit is at the end of its useful life, we replace it and test the new one before the visit is done.
A disposal that hums but will not spin, leaks at the flange, or grinds poorly is usually a straightforward repair or replacement. We handle both, and we confirm the drain connection and the electrical hookup are correct before we leave. An improperly connected disposal is one of the more common sources of under-sink leaks.
When a drain backs up repeatedly or a sewer line shows signs of trouble, a camera inspection tells you what is actually going on inside the pipe. Root intrusion, a collapsed section, a joint that has shifted, or years of grease buildup all look different on a camera, and knowing which one you are dealing with determines what the repair involves. We run the camera and walk you through what it shows before recommending a course of action.
A cable snake clears a clog. Hydro jetting clears the buildup that causes them. For a drain line that has accumulated years of grease, mineral scale, or compacted debris, a high-pressure water flush removes material that snaking leaves behind. It is the right call when a line keeps blocking in the same place, or when a camera inspection shows the pipe wall is coated rather than obstructed at a single point.
A tankless unit heats water on demand rather than maintaining a stored tank, which suits households and rental properties where demand is high or space is limited. The installation involves confirming the gas line or electrical supply can handle the load, that the venting is correct for the unit, and that the water pressure feeding it is within the operating range. We assess all of that on the call and confirm the scope before scheduling.
A shutoff valve that will not fully close is a problem that stays quiet until it is not. When a fixture needs repair or a pipe section needs work, a valve that only gets to seventy percent is a real obstacle. We replace main shutoffs, fixture stops, and isolation valves throughout the supply system. It is a routine job that makes every future repair easier and faster.
A dishwasher, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a new washing machine: each of these needs a water connection, and the connection matters more than it looks. A supply line that is not properly secured, a shutoff valve that was never installed behind the appliance, or a drain connection that is not vented correctly will eventually cause a problem. It may not happen the first week, but it will happen.
We handle appliance plumbing connections as part of a larger job or as a standalone call. That includes the supply line, the shutoff, the drain, and confirming there are no slow leaks before the appliance goes into its final position. We also address the situations where an appliance was connected by someone else and the connection has started to fail.
You schedule it. We fix it. Simple as that.
We cover Howard and the communities around it throughout Brown County. That includes Suamico, Green Bay, Ashwaubenon, Hobart, and Allouez. Residential calls, rental properties, and commercial work are all on the table, and the same availability and pricing process apply across the area.
If you are in Howard or anywhere nearby in the county, call (920) 695-6397 and we will confirm service at your address.
We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM. We're one phone call from getting your plumbing right. Before booking anything, the list of plumbing services we handle is worth a read.
Yes, and that conversation happens before any work is scheduled. When we scope the job on the call, we go through what a repair involves, what a replacement would involve, and what each would cost so you can make an informed decision.
If the job turns out to involve more than what was visible or described on the call, we stop and talk to you before proceeding. Nothing additional is done without your agreement, and the revised scope and cost are confirmed before the work continues.
Our service hours run every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
If a pipe bursts or a major leak starts within that window, call (920) 695-6397 right away and describe what is happening.
We scope the situation on the call and move as quickly as the schedule allows. For anything that happens outside those hours, call first thing when we open and describe the situation so we can prioritize accordingly.
Call ahead and give us the clearest directions you can, including GPS coordinates if you have them, the nearest named road, and any identifying features. Confirming the route before the visit avoids delays on the day.
Homes in this part of Brown County tend to sit on basements with aging supply and drain lines, and the freeze-thaw cycle that runs through the region every winter adds to the wear. The most common calls we get involve frozen or burst pipes after a hard cold snap, sump pumps that have reached the end of their life before spring melt, and drain lines that have built up enough scale or root intrusion to stop clearing with a standard snake. Fixture repairs and water heater work round out most of the schedule.
An intermittent leak is often tied to water pressure changes or to a fitting that fails under certain conditions. We look at the pattern you describe, pressure test the relevant section, and trace the source methodically. If it does not present during the visit, we explain what to watch for and how to reach us when it reappears.
Yes. We work in single-family homes, rental properties, and multi-unit buildings throughout Howard and the surrounding area. For occupied rental units, we can coordinate access with a tenant directly and work around occupancy so the repair gets done without requiring the property owner to be on site. The same service hours and pricing process apply regardless of property type.
The plumbing work is the same, but scheduling around operating hours is something we can accommodate. Call and describe the property and the work, and we will confirm what timing works for both sides.
Describe what you are dealing with and we will scope it on the call, give you a price, and get it on the schedule.

From a slow drain to a burst pipe in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, we handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Howard and the surrounding Brown County communities. Every service call starts with a clear scope and a confirmed price before any work is scheduled. We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM, so you can call when the problem shows up rather than waiting for a weekday opening. The table below covers what each service includes and who it fits best.
| Type of Job | Scope of Work | Typical Situations | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Heater Repair and Replacement |
| Anyone with no hot water, discolored water, or an aging unit | Sizing and fuel type are confirmed before a replacement is scheduled so the new unit fits the property's demand. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Kitchens with a disposal that hums, leaks, or grinds poorly | Most disposal failures come down to a worn motor, a bad seal, or a jam. We diagnose first and replace only when repair is not practical. |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with noticeably weak pressure at multiple fixtures | Low pressure throughout the home often points to a failing regulator or a partially closed main shutoff rather than a pipe problem. |
