Can't recommend Dr Plumber enough. Called for an estimate on a water heater replacement, and Steve was able to come same day! He was friendly, professional, and transparent with pricing. Very knowledgeable, with a ton of experience. I will be using Dr Plumber for future needs & highly recommend! read more

I had an issue with a cracked piece of pipe on a Saturday afternoon. Steve was able to come check it out within a few hours of my call. He was friendly and respectful of my property. Once he started the work it was a relatively quick and efficient fix. Recommended read more

Dr Plumber - Plumbing Near Me - Franklin, Wisconsin

Service was fast and excellent! We had a plugged bathtub drain that I had been dealing with off and on for a while. I finally couldn't clear it with draino or my sink snake, so I gave Dr. Plumber a call. I left a message and Steve returned my call right away. He was able to come by this evening and within 30 minutes, everything was taken care of! Fast, friendly service at a reasonable price! You can't beat that! I totally recommend him to anyone who needs plumbing services. read more

The service technician's attitude was a bit rude towards my tenant and me. There was an issue with the garbage disposal at my rental property, so I provided credit card information and gave the authorization to proceed with a new install. Prior to the install, my tenant and I were asking questions regarding a prior service visit made at the property and warranty information and this is when the technician became rude in tone and professionalism. The conversation with this individual was a bit off-putting so I canceled the service. The interaction was very surprising Edit: 09-04-2025: This person came to my property with a bad attitude that was very unprofessional. Fair questions were being asked as paying a service fee prior to any work should allow for, but there was no need for his attitude to turn negative, especially when a customer has questions. The whole encounter became too much. Instead of taking accountability and doing better when people leave feedback, this company makes excuses. Read all the reviews for yourself and do business with this company at your own risk, but my experience was poor and I stand firmly behind that read more

I usually do this kind of work myself, but was recently hospitalized. I needed my new washing machine and sink connected in the basement. The son, Drew came to the house and connected the old galvanized pipe leading up to the sink and washer with copper. He also expanded the drain pipe leading into the concrete floor. He secured the wash sink to the floor and to the support post nicely. It took him about 4.5 hours to complete the job. It looked great, but he charged about $2,300 for the job. I knew it would be a little pricy but it was definitely more than any other plumber would charge. About a week later I noticed black residue in the toilet and bathtub and sink. I went downstairs and took a much closer look at the job, and noticed that he did not join the copper to the galvanized pipe with dielectric fittings, which is standard procedure. Dielectric fittings, such as unions, are essential in plumbing to prevent corrosion when connecting dissimilar metals. I told him that I want him to come back and do the job correctly, because I could already see black residue in the sinks and toilet. He was cocky and disagreed, saying that dielectric fittings cause corrosion. But he agreed to come out. When he arrived he maintained his cocky behavior. He said that he didn't have those fittings on the truck! Really. A plumber that doesn't have standard fittings on his truck...after I told him exactly what he was coming out to do. He said he would have to run around town looking for them and charge me about $500 for the time to hunt down the fittings, including the work. I told him to go to Home Depot and get them. He insisted that it would cost $500 anyway to do a 20 minute job. I told him to forget it and I'll do the job myself when I'm healthy. He then gave me a bill for $150 for coming out to the house. I think his father is an honest man, but his son Drew is a rude ignorant shyster. read more

What a nice company to work with. Straight with explanation of work that was needed and came in under expected price. Always a bonus when it's an urgent job. Came same day that we called. Super great job cleaning up after the work was done read more

Absolutely horrible. They charged $900 for installing a new dishwasher, resetting an old toilet and the dishwasher isn't draining correctly. They refuse to come back without a trip charge. I would never ever recommend this company. They are extremely overpriced and greedy, plus they aren't experts. Shop around! read more

Left note Fri saying I would call Mon for leaky hot water valve. Called in at 8am and at 9am the father calls to tell me son is on the way. He was in and out for hot water valve replacement... $215 total. That's less than what we've paid by far for equivalent work from other nearby plumbers. And the quick response on a non-emergency call puts these guys on my call 1st for plumbing needs...THEY ROCK! read more

rude! when call to voice concern they will leave voicemail calling you derogatory names. Would never recommend.

I was looking for a plumber to replace two shut-off valves around my water meter that had deteriorated over the years and was able to book an appointment quickly. The good Doctor came out and gave me a reasonable estimate and booked the repair for the following week. He was actually able to work me in earlier than scheduled and, being retired, I was able to accommodate the last-minute availability to my favor. He arrived in the middle of the morning snowfall and got to work. He and his co-worker were very conscientious about my home and put down a carpet runner to keep from tracking in snow and mud....very nice. They had the two valves replaced and ready for my village's meter replacement crew's upcoming visit. They were quick, reasonable and friendly. Book them for your plumbing needs, you won't be disappointed! read more

I used the website Wednesday morning to put in a request for a service call for my water heater. I received a call from Steve later the same morning and we scheduled a time for him to come the following day. He gave me a call when he was coming over, evaluated the water heater and we discussed it should be replaced. He removed my old water heater and installed a new one in a couple of hours! His prices were fair and he was very professional and helpful answering my questions. I'll tell my neighbors if they need a plumber to call Steve. read more

We had new counter tops and a new sink installed and needed the drain lines of the sink to be connected. The son came to hook it up and said he would have to cut into the wall and lower the connection because of the deep profile sink. Fine. He said it would be $500 to do this. I knew the son was taking advantage of me and any plumber would do it for less. He was there and we waited long enough to get the kitchen back in shape. I was close to saying no but didn't. When the father showed up and asked what he was charging I could tell by the reaction I was being taken advantage of. That charge still bothers me to this day and I will not get over the fact that I was used. If you call this company, make sure the father does the work not the son. Let the buyer beware. read more

The water tank on my toilet was leaking into the basement laundry room. Being a recent widow, I panicked. I called Dr. Plumber. He was here within an hour, replaced my toilet and assessed the situation in the basement. I was reassured there was no lasting damage and simply dried out the basement ceiling with a fan. Very reasonable priced. I was not charged anything extra for my emergency. I will definitely use them again. read more

Steve and Drew are great, won't use anyone else. Timely, professional, clean up afterward. Had complete shower and pipes replaced. Fantastic job! read more

I came home from work last Tuesday evening to the sounds of a water feature in our basement. We do not have a water feature... Our hot water heater was spraying water everywhere. Luckily it must have just started, plus it was draining right toward our floor drain. I found Dr. Plumber here on Yelp, and after reading some great reviews I gave him a call. I would say Steve showed up at our house within 15-20 minutes of talking to him on the phone. He assessed the situation and began his work. We ended up getting a new hot water heater installed, which Steve was able to complete in no time at all! He is quick, efficient, and thorough. I would highly recommend Dr. Plumber for any plumbing emergencies or general maintenance jobs you may have. read more

Quick service. Excellent customer service. They were very clean at end of job and did first rate work.

I am a small business owner of a dog washing and grooming facility. We had an unexpected issue with a faucet in a tub that we use to wash dogs. The faucet would not work and we were in critical need of a plumber asap. I called Dr. Plumber based on a Google search, and he was able to come the same day, which I was very grateful for. He did a very good job of, according to his invoice, "replacing a faucet cartridge, handle adapter and face plate screws." The job was a little tricky, because of how the faucet was not secured to the wall behind the tub, but he was able to get it done, and it took less than 2 hours, on a weekday afternoon, at the very most. This all sounds good until you know that he charged me $480.00 for this job!!! It was a ridiculous amount of money for the time he spend and the minimal cost of any parts. I was very annoyed at myself for not getting a price upfront, but I would never have guessed a price of $240 an hour. When I called him about it, he implied that it was a little tricky, and I get that, but not nearly enough to come close to justifying that price. While his work was very good, I would NEVER hire him again, and would STRONGLY SUGGEST that you get any costs up front. I was ripped off. I know it and he knows it. read more

Quick, reasonably priced and trustworthy! My go to plumber when needed. I use them time and time again.

We called Dr Plumber for an impossible to clear clog in the kitchen drain. Steve was here within the hour and worked diligently. Cost was extremely reasonable considering he was here quicker than anyone would expect from a plumber. Thank you soooooo much and we will definitely use Dr Plumber for our plumbing needs in the future! read more

Dr Plumber is a worker and will not quit until he has either fixed the problem or figured out who to call next--my basement flooded thru my palmer valve due to a plugged main drain from the house out into the street--thank you for your efforts, thank you for the reasonable charges to alleviate this problem read more

Friendly guy, great service, experienced, knowledgeable, quick, fairly priced. Can't ask for much more from a plumbing service.

We called Dr Plumber when the Lowes installers couldn't figure out how to disconnect a gas line from the gas pipe to our dryer without breaking the pipe. Even though they were booked solid they were kind enough to come out and rescue the situation. When Steve arrived, he was able to quickly identify the problem and get it repaired in record time. Steve is an excellent plumber with great customer service skills. He even hooked the dryer up because he knew we needed it ASAP. I can not recommend Dr Plumber highly enough. If you need a plumber, this is definitely the company to call. read more

He did a great job on an emergency call on our house and he was very quick and efficient. Definitely recommend him for emergency calls and normal hours too. read more

We had an issue with a leaky shut off valve in our basement, as well as a leaky outdoor faucet. I found Dr Plumber online after reading a few reviews. Dr Plumber (Steve Hessil) was very flexible in scheduling within our timeframe. It is not easy to get a plumber to the house with work, kids and activities. When he came later in the evening, he diagnosed the problem, then gave me a quote. He had all the parts in his truck and got straight to work. All the work was done in a timely fashion. He finished the job, and cleaned up the mess. He then gave a bit of advice about draining the pipes for winter. Total job time was 90 minutes. If you need a plumber that gets right to the point, and finishes the job quickly, this is the guy. read more

Dr Plumber really knows what he's doing. My toilet hadn't been flushing well for years, and after my husband failed to remedy it time and time again, I knew I had to call a man more equipped for the job. Dr Plumber arrived promptly, and got straight to work. He knew exactly what to do. I could hardly speak as his tool instantly reached all the right spots my husband never could. Ever since his visit I've felt like I haven't in decades. Thank you Dr Plumber! read more

Called because a water heater's pilot light wouldn't stay lit and was told I need a new one. The new water heater was installed the same day. It has had problems once a year for the last two years(it was only installed two years ago). Dr. Plumber won't even come to look at the lemon he sold me without first making me pay a service fee. Would not recommend someone who doesn't standby their work or the products they install. read more

Dr. Plumber will now be my go to plumber! I filled out the online contact form, indicated I didn't need an estimate and to just schedule. I needed a new back flow stopper in my basement floor drain and some minor adjustments to two faucets. Steve called the next business day and scheduled me for the next day, in the morning as I had asked. Steve arrived right on time and got the jobs done quickly and for a great price. I have a neighbor in my condo complex who I know needed a drain cleaned out, so I called her while Steve was her. She came over and hired him on the spot. He went to her condo after he was done with my repairs and didn't charge her a second trip charge! She paid a lot less than the quote she had been given by a handyman. Call Mr. Plumber, you won't be disappointed! read more

If I could give more stars I would. Dr.Plumber came out to our home to finish a job that another plumbing company was supposed to do. We had gotten our countertops done and had paid for a plumbing reconnect prior, through Lowe's. How ever the company that was supposed to hook every thing back up ghosted us. Dr.Plumber was very nice, responsive and came to our rescue. Listened to us and was pretty reasonably priced. Will definitely be using Dr.Plumber again for any future plumbing work. read more

Excellent service! Highly recommended! Charged less than quoted, cleaned up after they were finished. Also, when leaving he helped a neighbor carry her groceries up the stairs. I'll definitely be calling again for any of our plumbing needs! read more

Plumber looked at what I thought the issue was and told me a price, after negotiating he came down over $100! Definitely feel I was taken advantage of and over charged, and the problem still wasn't fixed. Would not recommend. read more

Nice gentleman. Trustworthy. Works efficiently and accurately and explained everything. Quickly diagnosed that we had a burst pipe in the basement floor, he located the source and fixed it. Cleaned up everything afterwards. However the charge came to over $700 for about 2 hours of work, plus having to make an additional trip to get extra tools. Seemed a bit high to me, but I could be wrong. read more

Affordable, affable and was here in reasonable time. As I write this the work is done and other plumbers with good ratings on Yelp have yet to return my calls 6-7 hours after I left messages. Only have spoke to one other plumbing outfit and their showing up cost was almost equal to what I ultimately paid to have for the work and parts read more

Professional and courteous.Came out when he said he would and took care of the problem right away,I will not hesitate to use Steve's services again. read more
