Who handles what in Milwaukee
Wisconsin licenses plumbers through the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and you can verify a license online. For a sewer backup, ask the plumber whether a camera inspection makes sense before any digging, and keep the video. It helps if the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District or an insurer asks questions later.
What Milwaukee housing means for plumbing
Jones Island turns wastewater solids into Milorganite fertilizer. What goes down the drain matters, so wipes belong in the trash. The city has replaced more than 5,000 lead service lines, with many more still to go. Ask a plumber to point out any lead line they find.
MMSD's Deep Tunnel can store about 521 million gallons of combined sewage and stormwater. Older homes may still have a main stack of cast iron that has thinned inside over the decades, so a camera look before major work is a good idea.
When temperatures sink well below freezing, keep cabinet doors open on outside walls and know where your shutoff is. A frozen line that bursts can flood a room fast. Hard freezes are common from December through February. Pipes along outside walls and in unheated spaces are most at risk.
Before the visit
Write down when the problem started and anything that changed, like new fixtures or recent work on the building.

Questions from Milwaukee residents
Do you cover Story Hill and Bay View?
Most likely. We cover Story Hill, Third Ward, Layton Park and Bay View and other parts of Milwaukee, across 53202, 53203, 53204, 53205, 53206 and others. If no one is available, you will hear that from us up front.
Why does my water smell like rotten eggs?
If it is only the hot water, the water heater's anode rod is a common cause. If cold water smells too, call the water utility and ask a plumber to check the lines.
What should I tell the plumber on the phone?
Say what you see, where it is, how long it has been going on and whether water is actively leaking. A photo helps them bring the right parts.
Can a plumber thaw a frozen pipe?
Yes. They can warm the line safely and check whether it split. Avoid open flames, and leave the faucet slightly open so the pressure has somewhere to go.
Keep receipts and notes from the visit. They help if the same problem comes back.
