Plumbers in Big Bend, WI
Plumbing, Drain & Sewer Services
Nearly every home in Big Bend draws its water from a private well, and many properties send wastewater to a private on-site system rather than a municipal sewer. That shapes the plumbing problems homeowners see here, from water heaters packed with mineral scale to drains that need careful cleaning upstream of a septic tank or holding tank. Mr. Holland’s licensed plumbers have worked in Southeastern Wisconsin since 1997, and we bring drain cleaning, water heater repair, sump pump service, well pump repair, water softeners, and 24-hour emergency plumbing to Big Bend homes and businesses. Call (262) 223-3786 to schedule.

Call (262) 223-3786 now to stop the damage before it spreads.
Our Plumbing Services in Big Bend
Our residential plumbers handle everything from a clogged toilet repair to plumbing installation for a basement bathroom or addition. Because Big Bend homes supply their own water, and many treat their own wastewater, our technicians pay attention to how the well, the water treatment equipment, the fixtures, and the drain lines work together before recommending a fix. Same-day plumber visits are available when the schedule allows. Mr. Holland’s is also one of the plumbing companies in the area that handles heating, cooling, and electrical work, so one call covers the whole house.
Drain Cleaning
Slow sinks, gurgling tubs, and a toilet that clogs every few weeks usually point to buildup somewhere in the line. We clear kitchen, bathroom, laundry, floor, and main drains, then check whether the trouble is limited to one fixture or sits farther down the building drain. If your property uses a septic system or holding tank, mention it when you call so we can plan a cleaning method that suits the setup. When you compare drain cleaning companies, keep in mind that our plumbers can also look at the water heater, softener, and well equipment during the same visit.
Hydro Jetting
Hydrojet drain cleaning uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour grease, soap residue, and scale from the inside of a pipe, which a cable often leaves behind. Hard well water combined with soap can leave stubborn deposits in older drain lines, and jetting removes them more completely. We look at the condition of the pipe first, because jetting is not the right choice for every line.
Leak Detection & Repair
Homes on private wells do not get a water bill that jumps when a pipe starts leaking, so the warning signs are easier to miss. Listen to your well pump. If it kicks on when nobody is using water, or the pressure tank cycles more often than it used to, water is likely escaping somewhere. Damp drywall, a musty basement corner, and stains under a sink are other clues. We find leaks in accessible supply lines, fixtures, and connections, repair them, and let you know if the surrounding pipe is due for replacement.
Sewer Services
Root intrusion, sagging sections, and cracked pipe can cause slow drains throughout the house or a backup into the lowest floor drain. Mr. Holland’s repairs and replaces sewer lines and provides pipe excavation when an underground line has to be reached. On homes with a septic system or holding tank, the tank itself is pumped and serviced by a septic hauler, while our plumbers handle the drain and sewer piping that serves it.
Sump Pumps
Big Bend takes its name from the spot where the Fox River turns south, and the low ground near the river has seen basement flooding as recently as spring 2026. Homes farther from the water still deal with snowmelt and heavy spring rain. We repair, replace, and install sump pumps, and we add battery backup sump pump systems so the basement stays protected when a storm knocks out power.
Water Heaters
The U.S. Geological Survey describes Waukesha County’s groundwater as very hard, at more than 180 milligrams per liter, with iron and manganese present in some wells. In an untreated well, those minerals settle at the bottom of a tank water heater and coat the heat exchanger in tankless models. Rumbling or popping, slow recovery, and rusty or cloudy hot water are common signs. We provide water heater repair, replacement, and installation for tank and tankless systems, and we can pair a new heater with a water softener to slow scale buildup.
Repiping
Census estimates show a large share of Big Bend homes were built before 1960, and some date to before World War II. Houses from that era may still have galvanized steel supply pipe, which corrodes from the inside and gradually chokes water pressure. We replace aging supply lines with modern piping, and our bathroom plumber services cover toilet replacement, new fixtures, and the plumbing side of a bathroom remodel..
Commercial Plumbing
Shops, offices, and light industrial buildings in Big Bend work with the same well water and wastewater considerations as homes, only at a larger scale. Our commercial plumbers handle repairs, drain cleaning, water heaters, and fixture work for business properties and plan service around operating hours whenever possible.
Affordable Plumbing Services in Big Bend
Plumbing Coupons and Maintenance Plans
Mr. Holland’s runs rotating plumbing coupons and seasonal specials, so it pays to look through the current offers before you book. Affordable plumbers should be upfront about cost, and our local plumbers will tell you which savings apply to your job when you call. For homes on a well, a routine plumbing maintenance visit is a practical way to catch mineral buildup, slow leaks, a tired sump pump, or water heater wear before it becomes a service call.
Plumbing Financing Options in Big Bend, WI
Some plumbing projects in Big Bend arrive all at once, like a failed well pump, a water heater and softener replaced together, or a sewer line that has to be dug up. Mr. Holland’s offers plumbing financing through Service Finance Company, with $0 down, 0% interest, and no payments for up to 12 months for qualified applicants. Financing for plumbing repairs and installations carries no prepayment penalty, and homeowners with less-than-perfect credit can still apply. If you are comparing plumbers with payment plans, ask about current terms when you schedule.
5 Reasons To Call a Big Bend Plumbing Contractor
Well-and-septic homes give off their own set of warning signs. These five are worth a call to a licensed plumber.
Your pressure tank clicks on with every faucet: Frequent cycling can mean a waterlogged pressure tank or a failing pressure switch, and it shortens the life of the well pump.
Hot water smells like rotten eggs: Sulfate occurs naturally in some Waukesha County groundwater and can react with a water heater’s anode rod. A plumber can replace the anode or recommend treatment.
White crust builds up on faucets and showerheads: That scale is also collecting inside your water heater and fixtures. A water softener can protect new equipment.
A floor drain gurgles or backs up after heavy rain: Water may be getting into the system, or the line may be partially blocked. Either one should be checked before the next storm.
The sump pump has not run since last spring: Pour a bucket of water into the pit before the spring thaw. If the pump does not start, or you have no battery backup, call before the river and the snowmelt test it for you.
Do You Need a Permit for Plumbing Services in Big Bend?
Often, yes. The Village of Big Bend requires permits for a wide variety of plumbing work, and it contracts with a third-party building inspector for plumbing inspections. Wisconsin requires plumbing work done for hire to be completed by a licensed plumber. New private onsite wastewater systems need a separate sanitary permit from Waukesha County. Because requirements depend on the project, check with the inspector before starting, or let Mr. Holland’s take care of the permit for the work we perform.
For plumbing permit questions, contact the Village of Big Bend Building Inspector:

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.
