Milwaukee Plumbing & Piping, Inc.

Milwaukee Plumbing is the best! They sent someone over within a day and had the issue fixed with no problems. Not only did they complete the job they also took the time to explain the issue, what causes it and how to manage it which gives me peace of mind knowing it was done right. Also, big shoutout to Bryant he did an amazing job, was very professional and didn’t take any shortcuts. I’ll be using Milwaukee Plumbing from now on for any future issues!

We have used Milwaukee Plumbing for two projects. The first was the replacement of our city water shut off valve due to a leak. It was done quickly and professionally. While he was waiting for the city to turn water back on he did another quick drain tube replacement which saved us a lot of money. Recently we were told by WE energies when replacing our gas meter that our gas fireplace supply lines were not to code and corroding. Milwaukee replaced the lines and then hooked up the fireplace sets again. This is not something that usually do. Most people are putting in new or replacements so the fireplace outfit does it. I cannot recommend this place enough. The hourly charge is the most reasonable in the West Allis area. Carried plumbers that know what they are doing.

Where do I even begin.... We live in Whitefish Bay, our home was built in 1939; over the last few years our drainage backup problems have gotten worse and worse. Milwaukee Pluming & Piping came out this time as the previous company meant well but was coming out twice a year with no improved results. Here came the bad news- once the camera was down there we were advised by Bryant (awesome) that the integrity of our drain pipe approximately 20 feet away from our home was SHOT. Like broken, other debris, murky water he couldn't see through. I received a detailed explanation of the problem from Bryant and then shortly received a call from Joe Holtz- the Project Manager. I think Joe would also admit we got really lucky to have an awesome excavator available the very next day. Who actually came to my home (Danny) the night before just to introduce himself, look at the layout of the job, and try to put me, the customer, at ease... Apologies if I am writing a novel about this experience however it warrants it. THE VERY NEXT DAY at 7AM sharp we had Danny who I already met the night before with his excavator at our home (not MKE, but I will save his review for after this one) his 2 full size dump trucks to carry away most of our old walkway which was due for replacement anyway along with Chris from MKE Plumbing and and the job got started. First was digging the eight foot trench and inspecting our pipes. Disaster.. The integrity of our drain pipes were so bad (who knows..it was 1939. They were clay for all I know) that I was advised the most practical and sensible (two very important words) would be to replace the entire drain pipe. ALSO, while we happen to have an open 8 foot trench along our front yard what else is exposed? Indeed, God awful LEAD pipes. Of course I would replace poisonous LEAD pipes with brad new PolyPEX. Our water was shut off for 1 approximately 1 full day and then turned back on the next day around noon. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND REMEMBER 1. DIAGNOSIS WAS MONDAY 2. WORK BEGAN AT 7AM ON TUESDAY UNTIL 8PM 3. NEW DRAIN PIPE INSTALLED, CLEAN NONLEADED WATER HOSE INSTALLED PROPERLY BY NOON ON WEDNESDAY. 4. I PRICED THE JOB WITH A FEW OTHER LOCAL COMPANIES AND NO ONE OFFERED THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE, CARE, AND HONESTY. My family and I would be living in a hotel right now as no one could begin the job as quickly and efficiently as Milwaukee Plumbing & Piping. I know larger companies have Project Managers- but these guys were local, they knew their business, and were extremely fair. In my opinion cost is an issue in the absence of value- we paid an unbelievably fair price for the work that was done in such a short period of time. Joe Holtz is the Project Manager- Super kind and respectful fellow. He was honest and up front about everything. Everything we discussed felt as if he would be making the same recommendations to his own family. By the way- he had WE Energies there the same day as diagnosis for line inspection, and Village inspector was there at 7am start day as well. You can have a great team in place but if they are not properly managed with the professionalism and thoughtfulness that Joe demonstrated I doubt this would have been pulled off as efficiently as it was. I purposely asked Joe for all the names of the workers who were part of this job. I am so very grateful to each an every one of them as I know this is not easy work. 1. Thank you to Joe Holtz 2.
