Serving Southeastern Wisconsin Since 1939
“Had a sewer pipe Crack in the basement. Not a pretty job to handle. Austin plumbing came in and made a difficult job look easy. Very nice and also very professional. I’m very thankful this problem is behind us. Great job. 100% satisfaction and also very impressive work.”
— Mike D., Google Review
A Written Standard Behind the Walls
We follow code, then our own Austin Way installation standards where our standard calls for more. Quality isn’t left entirely to whichever plumber happens to be on the job.
Built for Future Serviceability
A good repipe should not only work when we leave. We plan installations so the system can be maintained, diagnosed, and serviced properly later without creating unnecessary destruction.
The Trade Matters at the Ownership Level
Austin is owned and operated by a master tradesman. Decisions about training, workmanship, products, and standards are made by people who understand what good trade work actually requires.
Better-Prepared People in Your Home
Our team trains every week, backed by Austin U and written company standards. On an older or mixed plumbing system, preparation and judgment matter.
Repipe Questions We Hear From Homeowners
Water-pipe replacement can roughly range from $2,500 to $12,000 or more depending on how much piping needs to be replaced and how difficult it is to reach.
Interior drain replacement can range from a few thousand dollars to $15,000 or more, particularly when the work involves drain piping below a concrete basement floor.
We look at the project in person and give you the price before the work begins.
No.
Some homes need one problem run replaced. Others need one bathroom group, the remaining old piping, or a much larger portion of the system.
We look for a sensible stopping point and recommend a whole-home scope only when the condition of the piping supports it.
Yes. We replace galvanized water piping with PEX when it makes sense for the home and the project.
The bigger question is how much of the old piping needs to come out and where the new piping can connect to sound existing pipe.
Both can be appropriate.
The better choice depends on the home, the route, what the new pipe needs to connect to, access, and the scope of the project.
We’ll explain the trade-offs when the material choice actually changes the outcome.
Not necessarily.
Old galvanized piping can become restricted enough to hurt water delivery, but low pressure can have other causes.
We look at the piping and the system before deciding whether replacement is the right answer.
Sometimes.
It depends on where the existing piping runs and how the replacement can reasonably be routed.
Some work is accessible from basements or utility areas. Other projects require access through walls or ceilings. Underfloor drain replacement can require opening the concrete basement floor.
We account for that access when we build the scope so you understand what the project requires before work begins.
Yes.
We replace failing cast-iron and other older drain piping inside the home, including drain stacks and sections below basement floors.
Exterior sewer-lateral repair and replacement belongs to our Sewer Line Repair service.
Yes.
We install new water and drain piping for new fixtures, bathrooms, laundry areas, utility spaces, and other projects where plumbing needs to be added.
The scope depends on where the new plumbing is going and where we can reasonably connect it to the existing system.
