From century-old homes to new commercial builds, we handle plumbing on both sides of the residential and commercial line. Homeowners call us for leaky faucets, running toilets, slow drains, and water heaters that stop working in the middle of a Wisconsin winter. Property managers and landlords call us when a unit has a sewer backup or a tenant has no hot water and it needs sorting out the same day.
Working here keeps us accountable to the neighbors we serve.
Licensed plumbers carry out the work on every job, whether it is a single fixture swap in a bathroom or a main line repair at a commercial property. We are a straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers who want the work done right without a complicated process to get there.
This is the core of what we do: the everyday plumbing work that keeps a home or building running. Drains back up. Pipes leak. Faucets drip. Toilets run. These are not emergencies most of the time, but they need a plumber who shows up prepared and gets the job done.
A slow drain or a full backup usually means a clog somewhere in the line. Kitchen sink drains collect grease and food debris over time. Bathroom drains catch hair and soap buildup. When a drain stops moving water the way it should, we clear the blockage and check the line to make sure the problem does not come back quickly.
We also handle sewer line cleaning and main line clogs, which are a different scale of problem but handled the same way: locate the blockage, clear it, confirm the line is flowing. If a clogged toilet is part of the picture, that gets addressed at the same visit.
Water leaks are worth taking seriously early. A leaking pipe inside a wall or under a slab can cause damage long before it becomes visible. On a leak detection call, we trace the source of the problem before anything is opened up, so the repair is targeted rather than exploratory.
Pipe leak repair ranges from a simple fitting replacement to a section of pipe. Burst pipe repair and frozen pipe repair are seasonal concerns in Wisconsin, where temperatures drop hard in winter and pipes in uninsulated crawl spaces, exterior walls, and garages are vulnerable. If a pipe has frozen or split, call as soon as it is safe to do so.
Leaking faucet repair, faucet replacement, sink installation, toilet repair and toilet replacement all fall under everyday fixture work. If a faucet is dripping constantly or a toilet is running between flushes, the fix is usually straightforward. If a fixture is being replaced as part of a bathroom or kitchen remodel, we handle the installation side of that work.
Bathtub and shower installation, garbage disposal repair and installation, and outdoor faucet and hose bib repair are also part of what we do. We stand behind every pipe and fixture we touch, and the scope of the work is agreed before anything is taken apart.
One call, and a plumber is on the way.
Getting your water flowing again is easier than you think, and that applies to hot water too. When a water heater stops working, the problem is usually one of a short list: a failed heating element, a tripped reset, sediment buildup, or a tank that has reached the end of its useful life.
We repair tank water heaters and replace them when repair is not the right call. Tankless water heater installation is also an option worth asking about on the call, particularly for households that want more consistent hot water without a large storage tank. In Wisconsin, where winters are long and cold, a water heater that is not keeping up is not a minor inconvenience. We handle no-hot-water calls and get the repair or replacement scheduled as quickly as possible.
Whether it is a single faucet or a full repipe, the diagnostic process is the same: figure out what is actually wrong before recommending a fix. Sewer line problems often show up as slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors, or a backup at the lowest drain in the building. We handle sewer line repair, sewer line replacement, and main sewer line clogs. Main water line repair and replacement are also part of this work when the supply side is the problem.
Repiping is a larger job but sometimes the right one. Galvanized pipe replacement, copper repiping, and whole-house repipes come up most often in older Waukesha homes where the original pipes are corroding from the inside, causing low pressure, discolored water, or chronic small leaks at fittings. Water pressure diagnostics help identify whether the issue is the pipes themselves, a failing pressure regulator, or a shutoff valve that needs replacing.
Licensed plumbers carry out all of this work, and code-compliant plumbing is the standard on every job. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the pipes.
Waukesha County's climate, water conditions, and housing stock shape which plumbing problems come up most often here. The services below reflect what local homes and properties actually need.
Wisconsin winters push temperatures well below freezing, and pipes in uninsulated spaces, exterior walls, and garages are the first to go. Older housing in Waukesha often has pipes in locations that were never insulated to modern standards. When a pipe freezes, the risk is not just the freeze itself but the burst that follows when it thaws. If you suspect a frozen pipe, shut off the water at the main and call. We locate the affected section, assess whether the pipe has split, and make the repair.
Spring thaw and heavy rain put real pressure on basements in Waukesha County. A sump pump that is not working when water starts coming in is a problem that compounds fast. We install new sump pumps and service existing ones. A service call covers the pump itself, the float switch, the discharge line, and the check valve, so the whole system is confirmed to be working before we leave.
Waukesha County water is hard. High mineral content is hard on pipes, fixtures, and water-using appliances over time, causing scale buildup that reduces flow and shortens the life of fittings and heaters. A water softener addresses the problem at the source. We handle the installation and connect the system to the supply line. If you have been putting it off, it is worth a call to find out what installation involves at your address.
Same-day service. Upfront pricing. Licensed plumbers.
Scheduling a plumber shouldn't be complicated. We are open every day from 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM, including Saturdays and Sundays. Same-day appointments are often available, and emergency plumbing calls are answered during those hours. If a pipe has burst, a water heater has failed, or a drain is backing up into the house, call and we will work to get someone out as quickly as the schedule allows.
The price is confirmed before work begins. When you call, describe what is happening and we will give you a rate for the job. The job scoped and priced before a wrench comes out means you know what you are agreeing to before anything starts. There are no decisions made on your behalf mid-job without a conversation first. Call for a quote and ask what it covers.
Call (262) 955-2935 to get on the schedule. We'll have your drains running again in no time.
Waukesha is the primary service area, and we cover the surrounding communities throughout Waukesha County as well. If you are in the area and need a plumber, there is a good chance we can get to you.
Communities we serve include:
Call to confirm coverage at your address if you are outside Waukesha proper.
The work is carried out by licensed plumbers who know what code-compliant plumbing looks like and what it takes to get it done correctly. We do not send someone unfamiliar with the job or with the area. When you call, you get a plumber who arrives prepared with the right tools and parts for the most likely repair.
It means the person handling your call knows Waukesha, knows the housing stock here, and understands which problems come up most often in this county. Working here keeps us accountable to the neighbors we serve, and that accountability shows up in how we explain the work, scope the job, and follow through once the wrench comes out. You are not dealing with a dispatch process that adds steps between you and the person doing the work.
When you call, we ask about the problem, the location in the house, and any details that affect how the job is scoped. From there we give you a price for the work before anything is put on the schedule. The job is scoped and priced before a wrench comes out, so you know what you are agreeing to before a plumber is dispatched.
We stand behind every pipe and fixture we touch. If a repair we completed is not holding, call us and describe what is happening. We will work through what the situation involves and get back out to assess it. The goal is a fix that actually solves the problem, not one that holds until the invoice is paid.
The right tool determines whether a job is done correctly or just patched. Hydro jetting equipment clears a main line clog that a standard snake cannot reach. A proper leak detection process finds a hidden pipe failure before a wall is opened unnecessarily. We invest in the equipment that makes the diagnosis accurate and the repair clean, because a shortcut at the tool stage usually means a callback later.
We focus on the real problem rather than the first visible symptom. If a drain cleaning call reveals a collapsed section of pipe, we stop and explain what we found before recommending a larger repair. No additional work is done without your agreement, and the price for any expanded scope is confirmed before the work continues.
Yes. Property managers dealing with multiple units or locations can coordinate with us to work through several jobs in a single day when the schedule allows. Call (262) 955-2935 and describe the scope of what you need, and we will work out the logistics with you on the call. The price for each job is confirmed before work begins.
Where the job calls for a material supplier, a specialty part, or coordination with another trade, we work with what is available locally when it makes sense. Our focus is on getting your plumbing done right, and that sometimes means knowing which local resources to draw on rather than waiting on a distant supply chain. It is part of working in this community rather than just passing through it.
Whether the job is a clogged drain, a leaking pipe, a water heater that stopped working, a sewer line backup, or a whole-house repipe, Cox Plumbing handles it. We are open every day from 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM, same-day appointments are often available, and the price is settled before any work begins.
