Top Rated Plumbers in Madison
Mark's Reddi Rooter
501 Tasman St, Madison, WI 53714, USA
(608) 292-7483Found them from Reddit! Called yesterday at 2:30pm and they were here at 9:30am this morning (it was non-emergent). The person on the phone has lots of great questions and helped with my anxiety about the situation, she was kind patient and told me exactly what was likely happening. They called before their arrival and Sam and Merrik were very kind! They answered all my questions and worked really hard to find the drain they needed to go through. They used a camera through the kitchen sink to find the proper drain which we found immediately under a stupid box, so they took the camera charge off our bill. They cleared the block and it was from a tree root, so they fixed the issue! Unfortunately they did break one of their blades in the pipe, but they discounted that time because it was "their mistake." I just felt like they were really trying to provide a kind and compassion service and were very honest. They didn't try to get a quick buck because I didn't know anything. Would recommend!! I haven't gotten my bill yet but they outlined how much I should expect.
2 months agoMark's Reddi Rooter saved our house! We contacted various other places(either no callback or completely booked) prior to making a call to Mark's Reddi Rooter which was recommended by a local company who was not able to help at the time.....as it was the weekend. Our drain had backed up into our basement and our toliet was overflowing. The technician arrived quickly and was very efficient in finding the problem right away. Top notch service, highly recommend!
2 months agoWe've had Roto Rooter do a yearly cleaning of our sewer line because of tree roots for many years. Today the sewer backed up and they couldn't get anyone out here until tomorrow (and we had our kids and grandkids coming that afternoon) So much for emergency service...Called Mark's and they had it fixed and out of here before everyone got here. I'll be having them do the yearly cleaning from now on (and so will our neighbor)!
4 months agoAction Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning and Electric, Inc.
1338 S Midvale Blvd, Madison, WI 53711, USA
(608) 291-7148Gregg completed a huge plumbing repair on my 115 year old house at the worst possible time. I had no choice but to make decisions on the spot based on his assessment . He was calm and had clearly tackled this level of sewer repair which involved jack hammering into my cement floor in December . What made me trust Gregg was he was not hyped, did not expand the project, met my deadline, and honest.
3 months agoGot quotes from a handful of plumbers. Action's wasn't the lowest, but it was competitive. Ended up choosing them because of the places I called, they did the best job of connecting me to someone who could answer some questions I had about the project, and they were able to schedule it for the next day. The plumber, Trey, did a great job with the install, and also went above and beyond to answer a few other plumbing questions I had (and was spot on with his advice). Would recommend.
1 week agoI will recommend Rodney’s service for his professional skills, expertise and friendliness. He was able to narrow our issue down to the exact location. His expertise and knowledge allowed us to solve an eight weeks on going issue in less than 2 hours. We paid a fraction of the projected price based on phone calls to similar businesses in our area. We were satisfied beyond our expectations. Thank you Rodney.
1 month agoAvid Plumbing LLC
818 Post Rd, Madison, WI 53713, USA
(608) 975-5578We required original pipes to be replaced in our home from the kitchen sink to a drain located under the basement floor (concrete). Avid was quick to respond and offer us options. They were patient while we shopped around and looked at potential remodel options. In the end, we only repaired what needed to be done. They honored the quote that was 2-3 months old by that point and coordinated repairs quickly. Finished everything in less than two days and left the area cleaner than before they arrived. Highly recommend.
2 weeks agoExcellent work all around. From calling and speaking with Brian who was patient, helpful, and knowledgeable to Andrew our plumber and his assistant installing our water heater. Service was timely and price reasonable. Andrew also looked at a couple other small issues we had while he was here. He was very professional, efficient and kind! Will definitely be using Avid again and highly recommend!
2 months agoAvid Plumbing deserves every bit of this 5-star review. I’m a salon owner, and our water heater completely failed in the middle of a busy workday with over 10 stylists fully booked — it was incredibly stressful. Avid was able to arrive the same day, quickly diagnose the problem, and clearly walk me through all of my options. The owner took extra time — even after hours — to explain how everything worked and answer every question I had without rushing me. They understood the urgency of our situation and had the needed parts ready and installed first thing the next morning. Colton, who handled most of the service, was professional, courteous, and easy to talk to. He explained things in a way that wasn’t intimidating, especially since I don’t have much plumbing knowledge. In less than 24 hours, we went from having no hot water to being fully operational again. Their responsiveness, communication, and professionalism were outstanding. I highly recommend Avid Plumbing.
3 weeks agoMadison Sewer & Drain Cleaning
917 Walsh Rd STE 101, Madison, WI 53714, USA
(608) 220-4114Phenomenal service! Our floor drain backed up Sunday night. I called Monday morning and they came out a couple hours later. Had the whole thing cleared out and working again in under an hour. Price was super reasonable. Highly recommend and will use again in the future if we have problems.
4 months agoStarted having odor and drain gurgling issues, so I contacted Madison Sewer & Drain Cleaning for an inspection. Showed me the root infiltration on camera and I agreed to a cleaning. Done within the hour. Courteous service and a very reasonable price!
11 months agoThe previous owners of our house had spray-foamed the basement floor-drain shut for some reason, which led to water build-up issues in our basement. Madison Sewer & Drain Cleaning came out within a day of when I called, removed and replaced the drain grate and cleaned out the drain for a very fair price. Water drains very quickly now! Ken also answered all of my questions about drain & sewer maintenance, and was very quick, friendly and professional. Using Madison Sewer & Drain Cleaning was a great experience and I will definitely reach out to them in the future with any drain/sewer issues.
1 year agoAll Comfort Services
5245 Voges Rd, Madison, WI 53718, USA
(608) 286-3924I hired All Comfort to perform a furnace tune-up. The technician spent over an hour in the basement and then informed me that my heat exchanger was cracked, causing high CO levels, and that I would need a new furnace. I was scheduled for a follow-up appointment with a salesperson. When the paperwork arrived by email, there was no mention of a cracked heat exchanger, which immediately raised a red flag. To be sure, I contacted another HVAC company for a second opinion. Within minutes, the second technician discovered that my heat exchanger was not cracked at all.The real issue was that the gas pressure valve had been turned up, leading to the high CO readings. Not only was the initial diagnosis completely false, but I also doubt that All Comfort actually performed the tune-up I paid for. The condensate drain and pump, which were supposed to be cleaned, were clearly untouched (see photo). When I called to report what happened, All Comfort quickly refunded my money — which I appreciated — but I’m still out the cost of the second company’s visit. Had I not trusted my instincts and gotten a second opinion, I could have spent $5,000 unnecessarily on a new furnace I didn’t need. Hiring them for a “tune-up” turned into a very unnecessarily stressful experience
4 months agoGreat service and quick installation. We were happy to hire a local company with many years of service to our community. I took away 1 star only because there were a lot of screws left on the basement floor and some in the driveway. If we had gotten a screw in a tire that would have been an expensive fix. I would ask that the team do a more thorough cleanup when finished. But we are very happy with our new furnace.
3 weeks agoIt was a pleasure to work with All Comfort. Billy was able to quickly submit a very competitive quote for a furnace and air conditioner combo and answer all my questions thoroughly. The installation was scheduled quickly and was completed very well by experienced technicians Michael and Dylan. Throughout the process, the team's professionalism and responsiveness clearly stood out. I would gladly recommend All Comfort.
1 month agoRobert's Plumbing & Heating INC
4430 Robertson Rd, Madison, WI 53714, USA
(608) 416-5646We had a major backup in our basement and called in a plumber, who quickly identified the issue as roots in the main line. He was incredibly professional, kind, and efficient — not only fixing the problem quickly, but also taking the time to explain what had happened and how to prevent it in the future. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people, not just doing a job. Highly recommend!
9 months agoI can’t say enough good things about Robert’s Plumbing. They quickly diagnosed and fixed a stubborn leak behind my refrigerator by replacing the copper waterlines with braided stainless steel. The new lines look great and give me peace of mind. They also found and repaired a toilet leak that was causing a stain through my basement ceiling, preventing further damage. The two technicians were very professional, polite, and respectful throughout the visit. The team arrived on time, were tidy, and took time to explain what caused the issues and how to prevent them in the future. If you want reliable, high-quality plumbing work done right, call Robert’s Plumbing. Excellent experience from start to finish.
4 months agoAbsolutely the best experience I've ever had with a Plumbing company. Extremely proud, fast, friendly, efficient and cost-effective for all my needs. Best ever

6 months agoTop notch company! Had Metro run a gas line from our basement up into our garage for a new heater. While doing that, had a plumbing issue pop up that was promptly fixed. Then discovered a small leak in the gas line that goes to our dryer — which was also fixed immediately. Very good communication & very professional - would recommend Metro to fix any plumbing needs!
1 month agoAs a new homeowner, I’ve had the good fortune to work with Metro Plumbing several times over the past 18 months. Shortly after moving in, I discovered a few curious plumbing decisions from the previous owners that needed urgent attention. Derek came out promptly and fixed everything quickly and professionally. More recently, I reached back out to Metro Plumbing to upgrade our kitchen sink, replace a toilet, and take care of a few smaller items. Another excellent experience - we talked through options over the phone, Derek came by to measure and confirm installation details, and just a few days later, Taylor arrived and completed all the work perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Everyone I’ve dealt with at Metro Plumbing clearly takes pride in their work and is a pleasure to interact with. Great work at a great value - highly recommended!
4 months agoEZ Plumbing Co., Inc.
221 S Main St, Verona, WI 53593, USA
(608) 848-3900I have used EZ plumbing several times and have been impressed each time with the skill they demonstrated in diagnosing and fixing my plumbing problems. They have helped with a dishwasher that didn't drain properly, a leak in a basement ceiling, and a mystery gurgling in the drain. In addition, they provided excellent guidance with hot water heater replacement. The professionalism, promptness, and expertise of EZ Plumbing make it easy to give them a 5 star review.
1 month agoWoke up this morning to find water heater had been leaking. EZ Plumbing was recommended by a friend. EZ came out to shut off the hot water and came back same day to install a new water heater. They were great to work with and reasonably priced. We will use them again and highly recommend them to others.
1 month agoOur water heater died suddenly on Wednesday evening after everywhere was already closed. My husband spent Tuesday calling around for quotes and EZ Plumbing was the most affordable option in our area. We gave them a call first thing Friday morning and they worked hard to squeeze in an installation for us before the weekend without charging overtime. Everything was installed and tidied up for a great price. Couldn't have asked for better service!
5 months agoH.J. Pertzborn Plumbing and Fire Protection Corporation.
802 John Nolen Dr, Madison, WI 53713, USA
(608) 256-3900Justin is super awesome! We had a couple of plumbing jobs and he took care of everything very quickly and did a professional job at a reasonable price. He also was very good with our dog, Bosco. HJP is lucky to have him as an awesome employee!! We will ask for him with our next plumbing need.
1 month agoWow! Our tub/shower broke on a Friday just before a Monday holiday. I wasn't expecting a call until Tuesday, but first thing on Monday, I got a call from Ashley, who told me a plumber could come out today (MLK Day). A great plumber, Chuck, came out less than an hour later and got it fixed in just over an hour, which was fantastic! I previously had a great experience with Perzborn, and now I see again why they get such stellar reviews from so many people! It's clear why people are happy to refer Perzborn to others, and I will be doing this too.
1 month agoGreat experience! We contacted HJ Pertzborn when our disposal stopped working and we were scheduled for service quickly. Jake was great and not only fixed the issue, but took the time to teach me how to troubleshoot any future issues and gave me some tips for maintaining & cleaning the disposal.
1 month agoMonona Plumbing & Fire Protection
3126 Watford Way, Madison, WI 53713, USA
(608) 330-4411We've used Monona for multiple issues - some plumbing needs and then most recently a water softener replacement. They've been fantastic to work with every time. They've come out quickly in emergency situations, been pleasant to work with, explained everything they were doing, and did high quality work. Reasonable prices for the quality of experience you get.
4 months agoWe needed a toilet replaced and some work on our water softener. These ended up getting done in two separate visits. Both plumbers were polite and on-time. The one working on our water softener took time to explain the work and give me some tips about using the water softener. They wore shoe covers and were nice to our cat :-)
1 month agoWe've had MPFP over to our house multiple times for various fixes, and they've been great every time. Professional, great at understanding the issue and then addressing and explaining as needed, prices are very reasonable, and work is done extremely well. I have the utmost trust in Monona Plumbing, and they're our first go-to pros for plumbing work in the area.

Common Drain Issues in Madison
Madison’s older neighborhoods, such as the Near West Side and Willy Street area, often feature original clay sewer pipes. Over time, these pipes develop cracks that attract the roots of our city's beautiful, mature canopy of oak and maple trees, leading to frequent main line backups.
Dane County is known for having exceptionally hard water. Over years, mineral deposits can build up inside your Madison home’s pipes, narrowing the passage and making it much easier for soap scum and hair to create stubborn, recurring clogs that DIY solutions can't touch.
In high-density rental areas near the University of Wisconsin-Madison, kitchen drains often face heavy abuse. Grease and food waste buildup are common culprits in these student-heavy corridors, requiring professional-grade hydro-jetting to fully restore flow and prevent basement flooding.
Madison’s position between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona means many homes have high water tables. During the spring thaw or heavy summer rainstorms, basement floor drains can back up if the local sewer system is overwhelmed or if your home’s lateral is partially obstructed.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Madison
Before the ground freezes in late November, ensure your outdoor drains and gutters are clear of Madison's heavy fall foliage to prevent ice dams and basement seepage.
During our sub-zero Wisconsin winters, grease solidifies almost instantly in cold pipes. Avoid pouring any fats down the drain during the winter months to prevent 'fatbergs' from forming in your lateral.
As the snow melts in March, check your sump pump and floor drains. The rapid increase in ground water near the lakes can put immense pressure on your home’s drainage system.
If you live in a neighborhood with large trees, schedule a preventative root-cutting service in the early summer to ensure your sewer line can handle the heavy water usage of a busy Madison household.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Madison
Prices in Madison typically range based on the severity of the clog. A simple sink or tub snaking starts on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting for tree roots typically falls on the higher end of the scale.
