Plumbing Pewaukee: Repair, Drain & Water Heater Service

When something goes wrong with your plumbing, the last thing you want is to deal with a company that treats you like a ticket number. At Franz Plumbing and Piping, Inc., we do things differently. We’re a father-and-son team, Jeff and Todd Franz, and we’ve been delivering the best plumbing Pewaukee homeowners and businesses can count on. Jeff and Todd are both licensed Master Plumbers, and we handle everything from stubborn drain clogs to full water heater replacements. Whether your home is dealing with aging pipes or you just need a faucet swapped out, we show up, we’re straight with you, and we get the job done right.

Services

We handle a broad range of plumbing work for homes and businesses throughout Pewaukee and southeast Wisconsin. From water line issues to gas piping, here’s what we take care of:

Water Line Repair and Replacement

A damaged or aging water line can cause low pressure, discoloration, and bigger problems down the road. We assess the situation thoroughly, identify where the issue is, and repair or replace the line to restore full function to your home’s water supply without unnecessary work.

Drain Line Repair and Replacement

Slow-moving or blocked drain lines are more than just annoying. We diagnose the root cause, whether it’s buildup, damage, or a failing section of pipe, and take care of it the right way so you’re not dealing with the same issue again a few weeks later.

Sump Pump Repairs

Your sump pump is the last line of defense against a flooded basement, so when it acts up, you want it looked at fast. We repair sump pump systems and make sure everything is working properly before we leave, giving you confidence that your basement stays protected when it rains.

Water Pressure Issues

Weak or inconsistent water pressure is frustrating and often points to an underlying problem. We track down the cause, whether that’s a failing pressure regulator, a clog, or something deeper in the line, and fix it so your water pressure feels the way it should throughout the whole house.

Leaking Pipes

A leak that’s left alone will almost always turn into a bigger repair. We locate the source, stop the leak, and check surrounding pipe sections to make sure nothing else is at risk. Fast action on leaks saves you real money and prevents water damage from spreading into walls or floors.

Faucet Repair and Replacement

A dripping faucet wastes more water than most people realize. We repair or replace faucets in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas and can help you choose the right fixture for your setup if you’re looking to upgrade at the same time.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement

Whether your water heater is making noise, running cold, or leaking at the base, we handle repair and full replacement for both tank and tankless units. Learn more about water heater repair and replacement and what we offer.

Gas Piping

We install new gas lines and can detect and repair gas leaks, too. Find out more about our gas line installation and repair work and what’s covered.

Drain Cleaning

Slow drains throughout the house usually mean there’s a clog building somewhere in the system. We clear the blockage properly rather than just pushing it further down, so your drains flow freely and stay that way for the long haul.

Plumbing

We’ve seen just about every fixture there is, and we install them all. Whether it’s a straightforward swap or something more involved, we handle fixture work throughout Pewaukee for both residential and commercial customers.

  • Kitchen and Bath Fixtures: From a simple faucet replacement to a full fixture overhaul during a remodel, we install and connect all types of kitchen and bathroom fixtures. We work with homeowners, contractors, and DIYers on projects big and small. Check out our remodeling services if you’re planning a bigger renovation.
  • Food Waste Disposers: A malfunctioning garbage disposal is a kitchen inconvenience that adds up fast. We install and service food waste disposers so your kitchen stays functional. Whether you’re replacing an old unit or adding one for the first time, we’ll get it connected and running properly.
  • Toilets: Residential and Commercial: Constantly running toilets, weak flushes, and slow refills are all signs that something needs attention. We repair and replace toilets in homes and commercial spaces, making sure everything seals properly and functions the way it should without wasting water or causing leaks around the base.
  • Water Heaters: Gas and Electric: We install gas and electric water heaters and run new gas lines to units when needed. Disposal of the old unit is included with any new installation, so you won’t have to figure out how to get rid of it yourself.

Sewer and Drain

No matter what kind of water you’re moving from one place to another, we know how to handle it. Our sewer and drain work covers the full system, from individual stoppages to clean-out installations.

Main Line Stoppages

 A main line stoppage affects every drain in the house, which makes it one of the more urgent calls we get. We clear main line blockages and check the condition of the line to make sure the issue is fully resolved and not just temporarily pushed through.

Drain Stoppages

Individual drain stoppages in sinks, showers, and tubs can be caused by anything from grease buildup to hair clogs to root intrusion in older pipes. We get to the actual cause and clear it completely, rather than a quick fix that’ll have you calling again in a month.

Clean-Outs Installed

If your plumbing system doesn’t have a proper clean-out access point, clearing future stoppages becomes much harder and more expensive. We install cleanouts in the right spots so that any drain work down the road is easier to access, faster to complete, and less disruptive to your home.

I found Franz Plumbing via a Google Search for plumbers near me as I wanted a second option lined up. I had never heard of them prior to this service call but they were able to show up and help prior to my first option. This was important to me as my leak was related to my kitchen sink and dishwasher so going several days without help was not ideal. The Franz crew was timely, quick with their work, and enjoyable to chat with. I was very happy with their ability to help me out so quickly.
Needless to say, Franz Plumbing will be my first option going froward and I highly recommend them.

We had used Jeff Franz for a few plumbing needs and know that he will make every effort to help us - especially in emergencies. In fact, the 2 most recent calls were for a new water heater install when the old one was leaking all over the basement and just yesterday when water was leaking through the kitchen ceiling from the bathroom above. Those are when you need a plumber quick and Jeff got a couple of his crew to come to the rescue. Couldn't recommend him more highly! Thanks Jeff.

Can’t thank Jeff enough for putting in a repair order with the distributor who fixed my water heater control while by plumber was up north. Without him we would’ve been waiting at least a couple more days for a repair.

Jeff and team definitely know their stuff. Professional from day 1, the job was done right the first time even with some hiccups outside of their control by other subs.

On a Saturday morning, we discovered that our water heater was leaking heavily out of the top and likely on its last legs. Fearing that the problem would worsen, we called around to see if we could talk to anybody. We were unsure whether we had a full-blown emergency on our hands, so we didn't want to shell out extra to have anybody come out on a weekend if we could avoid it. Thankfully, one of the messages we left was with Franz Plumbing & Piping. In less than an hour, we got a reassuring call back from Franz, and they were able to come out first thing on Monday morning to install a brand new water heater quickly and without incident. We definitely recommend Franz Plumbing & Piping.

Todd replaced a gas water heater for me. GREAT service and great prices. If you like to support your local small businesses this is a perfect choice. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone and call Franz plumbing for my next repair. I have rentals in the area, so I know I'll be a repeat customer.

Jeff Franz came to my place to fix a small issue with very little notice, gave me a fair price, and did a excellent job. It wasn't a huge fix, but he did it well and timely. i would definitely recommend.
