󠀠Real Plumbing Work in Wauwatosa Homes


Real Work. Real Homes.
Peter B. called about a slow-draining bathroom vanity sink, and once we snaked the line we found the cast iron drain piping and galvanized water lines in his mechanical room were cobbled together in a tight, hard-to-access space. An abandoned furnace was blocking the drain work, so we removed it, cut out the old galvanized water lines and cast iron sewer piping, and rebuilt the mechanical room with new PVC drain lines and new PEX and copper water lines. We also replaced the questionable main shut-off valve that had a vice grip locked onto it in place of a handle.
Rick and Peg R. called to have the main water shutoff valve replaced at their home. We shut the water down at the valve ahead of the meter, removed the failing shutoff located after the meter, and installed a new main water shutoff valve in its place. We tightened the packing nut on the older valve ahead of the meter and let the homeowners know it showed signs of a previous leak and was difficult to operate, so it should be monitored. Once the new valve was in, we checked all connections for leaks and tested the system for proper operation.
Rick and Peg R. noticed a slow drip coming from the shutoff valve ahead of their water meter shortly after we replaced the valve on the other side. We coordinated with the Wauwatosa Water Department to have the curb stop located and the water turned off at the street, then removed the leaking valve on the thick lead service line and installed a new one in its place. We checked every connection for leaks and tested the system for proper operation before turning the water back on.

Pete E. was fabulous! He’s well qualified and has lots of experience to know exactly what to do. He also came prepared with parts already on his truck. Besides all that—he’s nice! Described everything so we could understand. We’ll be asking for him if we ever have another plumbing problem!

Seth was great as he worked on our furnace to do a complete assessment and maintenance. Seth was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. Troy did an outstanding job replacing our furnace. He customized the install to provide us with the absolute best results. Troy explained everything we needed to know about our new furnace. What a great personality, truly caring about the job he did. All of Austin Plumbing did an excellent job to accommodate our needs. Thank you Troy and Austin! I wouldn’t use any other company!

Common Questions Wauwatosa Homeowners Have About Plumbing

Who should I call for a plumber in Wauwatosa?
Austin’s an easy answer here — the crew’s been working in Milwaukee County homes since 1939, and there’s a good chance the truck’s been on your street already this month. You get a licensed tradesperson at the door instead of a subcontractor, a straight answer on what’s actually wrong, and pricing before anyone picks up a wrench. The techs aren’t paid on commission, so no one’s angling to sell you a repipe you don’t need — and if the work ever fails, Austin comes back and fixes it free.
My drain’s slow but not fully clogged — do I really need a plumber?
A slow drain is usually the early warning, not the emergency — but it’s the cheap moment to deal with it. If it’s one fixture, it’s likely a local clog; if every drain in the house is sluggish, that points to the main line, and in Wauwatosa that main line is often original cast iron. That’s the one you don’t want to ignore until it backs up into the basement. Austin can tell you over the phone whether it’s a “watch it” or a “let’s look now,” and won’t manufacture urgency to get in the door.
What actually happens when Austin comes out for a plumbing issue?
First the plumber finds the real source — a wet ceiling stain might be a roof, a supply line, or a drain, and guessing costs you money. Once they know, they explain it in plain terms and hand you the price before starting. Leaks, clogs, fixtures, sump pumps, drain lines, repipes — the trucks roll stocked, so most of it gets handled in the same visit instead of a “we’ll order the part” runaround.
What’s a plumbing repair going to cost in Wauwatosa?
You’ll get the bottom-line number before any work starts, and you never pay for something you didn’t approve first. Because the techs earn the same whether it’s a $150 fix or a full repipe, nobody’s incentive is to talk the price up. You’ll hear honest options for your situation and decide what’s worth doing.
Are there plumbing quirks specific to Wauwatosa homes?
Plenty. A lot of Wauwatosa’s housing stock predates modern plumbing materials, which means original cast iron drain stacks, underground drain lines that have been in the ground for decades, and galvanized supply piping that narrows with corrosion and quietly kills your water pressure. Austin’s in these houses constantly, so they know what to look for — and they’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a repair-or-replace situation instead of defaulting to the bigger job.
What if something goes wrong afterward?
Austin stands behind its work with a one-line, published rule: if our work breaks, we’ll fix it for free. If the workmanship fails, Austin makes it right at no charge. Austin is local and here to stay, so there’s always a real, accountable company to call.
