Plumbers in South Milwaukee, WI
Plumbing, Drain & Sewer Services
South Milwaukee was laid out in 1891 and grew into an industrial city around the Bucyrus-Erie works, and its housing reflects that history. A quarter of local homes were built before 1940, the median home dates to 1958, and the city has estimated that about 1,500 homes still have lead service lines. The city has offered low-interest loans and grants to help owners replace them. Mr. Holland’s licensed plumbers help South Milwaukee homeowners with water line and repiping work, drain cleaning, sewer laterals, water heaters, sump pumps, and 24-hour emergency plumbing. Call (262) 724-2490 to schedule.

Our Plumbing Services in South Milwaukee
Many South Milwaukee homes are pre-war and post-war houses with basements, cast iron drains, and supply piping that has been updated piece by piece. Our residential plumbers handle repairs, replacements, and plumbing installation, and same-day plumber appointments are available when the schedule allows.
Drain Cleaning
Older cast iron and clay drain lines collect grease and scale, and basement floor drains are often the first place a clog shows up. We clear sinks, tubs, toilets, floor drains, and main lines and find out what is causing the backup.
Hydro Jetting
Hydrojet drain cleaning scours grease and scale from older drain and sewer lines. Since many local laterals are decades old, we check their condition first and use jetting only when the pipe can take it.
Leak Detection & Repair
Corroded galvanized joints, aging valves, and worn fixtures are common sources of leaks in mid-century homes. We locate and repair leaks in accessible piping and fixtures before they damage basements and finished rooms.
Sewer Services
Wastewater from South Milwaukee flows to the MMSD South Shore treatment plant located right in the city, but the lateral connecting your home to the city sewer is the owner’s responsibility. Mr. Holland’s repairs and replaces cracked or root-filled laterals and handles the excavation.
Sump Pumps
Heavy rain can raise groundwater around basements near the lakefront and in low parts of the city. We repair, replace, and install sump pumps, including battery backup units that keep working during power outages.
Water Heaters
Basement water heaters in older South Milwaukee homes often sit beside aging gas lines and venting. We repair, replace, and install tank and tankless water heaters and make sure each one is connected and vented properly.
Repiping
If your home has a lead service line or old galvanized piping inside, replacing both at the same time can make sense. Mr. Holland’s replaces water service lines and interior supply piping with modern materials and handles bathroom plumber work like toilet replacement and fixture upgrades.
Commercial Plumbing
Restaurants, shops, and businesses along South Milwaukee’s commercial streets need plumbing that keeps working. Our commercial plumbers handle repairs, drain cleaning, water heater service, and fixture installation around your hours.

5 Reasons To Call a South Milwaukee Plumbing Contractor
Older South Milwaukee homes give clear signals when plumbing needs attention. Reach out to a licensed plumber if you see any of these.
A dull gray service pipe that scratches shiny: It may be lead and should be replaced.
Water coming up through a basement floor drain: The lateral may be blocked or damaged.
Brown or rusty water: Galvanized piping may be corroding.
Low pressure throughout the house: Old supply lines may be narrowing inside.
A water heater past 12 years: It is approaching the end of its life.

A+ for Everything!
Could not ask for a better business to work with. From replacing my sewer stack to inevitably having to replace my main sewer line, they gave 100%. Took their time to explain each step and did the job correctly. And to make them even better, they came out.
Mr. Holland’s is It!
Our AC took a dive on the hottest week of the summer. They were able to get in after a few days and have a whole new system installed and running perfectly! With our old system being from 95’, it was time we invested.
Highly Recommend
The technician who came to service my home was Shannon, and he was absolutely the best. I wish I could give him a million stars. He knew exactly what to do with minimum effort. If I have any issues again in the future, I’m definitely going to request him.
Knowledgeable & Straightforward
Mr. Holland’s laid out the options for our boiler, which is 25 years old. Left everything in good order and was very pleasant. Couldn’t be happier!
Absolutely 5 Stars – I’d Give Them 10 If I Could
Kyle came out yesterday to fix our air conditioner, and he was a godsend! It’s blistering hot and humid today. Turned out to be a fried wire in the control panel. We’re cool & so comfortable today, and the bill was exceptionally reasonable.
Great Work Paul, and Thank You Mr Hollands!
Mr Hollands came through in a pinch, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the prompt scheduling and service by our technician, Paul Johnson. This is our first experience with Mr Hollands, and they’ve definitely earned our business in the future.
