What we fix, and what it costs
Flat-rate pricing quoted up front. The number you approve is the number on the invoice.
Water heaters
tank from $1,450 · tankless from $3,200
Supplied, installed, and hauled away — usually the same day you call. All major brands serviced.
Sewer camera inspection
$249 flat
Full line inspection with recorded video you keep. Required viewing before you buy an older Milwaukee house.
Sump pumps
from $675
Pump, check valve, and test — installed before the next storm, with battery-backup options from $1,150.
Faucets, toilets & fixtures
from $189 labor
Any brand, yours or ours. Leaky flappers to full bathroom fixture swaps.
Frozen & burst pipes
emergency — call
Thawed, repaired, and insulated against the next polar vortex. This is Wisconsin; we are very good at this one.
How our pricing works
- You call. A plumber — not a call center — picks up. Weekdays 7–5, Saturdays 8–noon, emergencies any time.
- We quote flat-rate, in writing. Diagnosis on standard visits is free. You approve a number before work starts.
- You pay what was quoted. If the job turns out harder than we said, that's our problem, not your invoice. After-hours calls add a $99 dispatch fee — credited if you hire us.
What the neighbors say
"Water heater died Friday night, new one running by Saturday noon. The quote on the phone was the price on the bill, to the dollar."
"Third house we've used them on. The camera inspection saved us from buying a place with a collapsed clay lateral."
"Frozen pipe at 2 a.m. in January. Stan was here in 45 minutes and didn't charge like it was a hostage situation."
