When the water won't stop, or the drain won't move, or the water heater goes cold on a January morning, you need a plumber who picks up and gets to work. Sun Prairie Plumbing Company handles residential and commercial plumbing throughout Sun Prairie and the surrounding area, from routine repairs to the calls that can't wait. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses of every size.
We answer when you call. We explain the work. We leave it dry.
We're available every day from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Call (608) 941-9789 for a quote.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and keeping a commercial property running starts with the same thing. We handle the full range of plumbing work: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, water pressure diagnostics, shutoff valve replacement, and repiping. Whether you manage a single-family home in Sun Prairie or a commercial property with multiple units, the work gets done the same way: the cause found before anything is replaced, and the job finished to the local code on every callout.
Property managers and small businesses call about the same work homeowners do, just on a larger scale. Floor drains, commercial water heaters, fixture replacements across multiple units, and main line service are all part of what we do. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed quickly.
A slow drain and a full blockage are different problems, and they don't always call for the same fix. A slow drain usually means buildup in the line: soap, grease, hair, or mineral deposits narrowing the pipe over time. A full blockage means nothing is moving, and the cause could be anywhere from the trap to the main line.
We clear kitchen and bathroom drains, floor drains, and main line clogs using a drain snake for standard blockages and hydro jetting for stubborn buildup that a snake won't fully clear. Hydro jetting pushes pressurized water through the line to break up grease accumulation and flush the pipe clean, which matters especially in commercial kitchens where grease builds fast.
We scope the situation before recommending a method, and we explain what we find. Reach out and tell us what the drain is doing.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, and a hidden leak is the case that makes that hardest. Water stains on a ceiling, a spike in the water bill, or a damp spot on the floor can all point to a leak that isn't visible from the surface. We use pressure testing and electronic leak detection to locate the source before any wall or floor is opened.
Once the leak is found, we repair the pipe, replace the section if it's damaged beyond a clean fix, and handle the shutoff valve work that goes with it. For homes with galvanized steel pipe that's corroding systemwide, repiping is the logical next step rather than chasing individual failures. We assess what the system actually needs and give you honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell.
Well pump and pressure tank issues can also show up as pressure problems throughout the house. If your water pressure is dropping or cycling irregularly, that's worth a call. Let us handle the plumbing and the permits.
No hot water in a Wisconsin winter is not a minor inconvenience. Whether the tank has stopped heating, the temperature is running inconsistent, or the unit is aging past the point of reliable repair, we diagnose the problem and tell you what the fix involves before anything is scheduled.
We work on both tank and tankless water heaters in residential and commercial settings. A tank water heater that's sediment-heavy may recover with a flush and an element replacement. One that's corroding from the inside or past its service life is a replacement job, and we'll tell you which it is. Tankless units have their own failure points, including scale buildup on the heat exchanger and flow sensor issues, and we handle those too.
Commercial water heater work follows the same process: scope the problem, confirm the price, do the work. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed quickly.
Dripping faucet fixed. Slow drain cleared. Water flowing right.
These are the everyday jobs that keep a home or rental property functioning. A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water before the flapper or fill valve is replaced. A dripping faucet that sounds minor adds up on a water bill over weeks. We diagnose what's actually causing the problem rather than replacing parts until something works.
For faucet and fixture work, we handle kitchen and bathroom faucet replacement, sink installation, and garbage disposal installation and repair. If a disposal has seized or stopped draining, we check the mechanical side and the drain connection before recommending a replacement. Fixture upgrades for a bathroom remodel or a commercial restroom refresh are part of the same work.
We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave the space clean when the job is done.
If you're not sure your water pressure is where it should be, or if drains are backing up in multiple fixtures at once, the problem may be further down the line than it looks. A main sewer line clog affects every drain in the building. A damaged or root-intruded sewer line needs more than clearing.
We handle sewer line inspection, main line cleaning, and sewer line repair or replacement from the house to the city connection. When a backup points to a blockage, we run a camera through the line to confirm the cause and location before any digging or repair work is scoped. Water main and supply line repair fall under the same category. If the line running from the meter to the house is leaking or failing, we diagnose it and handle the repair.
We stay strictly on the line. The work covers everything from the house to the point of connection, and we confirm what the job involves before scheduling. Reach out and tell us what the drain is doing.
Dane County winters push well below freezing for weeks at a stretch, and the housing stock here reflects that. Most Sun Prairie homes sit on basements with exposed pipe runs in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls. Freeze-thaw cycles and spring snowmelt create a predictable set of plumbing problems, and we handle all of them.
When a pipe freezes, the water inside expands and the pipe wall can crack or split. Sometimes the damage isn't visible until the pipe thaws and water starts moving again. We assess the affected section, confirm what needs to be repaired or replaced, and handle the work the same visit when the scope allows. Burst pipe calls during open hours are treated as urgent. We explain what happened, what the repair involves, and what it will cost before anything starts.
Spring thaw and heavy rain put real pressure on basements in this part of Wisconsin. A sump pump that fails during a melt event can mean a flooded basement before morning. We install sump pumps in homes that don't have one and replace units that are aging or unreliable. The installation covers the pump, the pit if needed, and the discharge line routed to drain away from the foundation.
Pipe insulation and winterization are the preventive step that keeps frozen pipe calls from happening in the first place. We insulate exposed pipe runs in unheated spaces, wrap exterior wall sections that are vulnerable to cold, and winterize outdoor lines including frost-free hose bib installation where the existing setup isn't built for Wisconsin temperatures. A winterization visit takes less time and costs less than a burst pipe repair. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed quickly.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, and the second hardest is knowing what it will cost. Plumbing work varies widely depending on job scope, the materials involved, and how accessible the pipe or fixture is. A drain cleaning visit costs differently from a full sewer line replacement, and a water heater swap costs differently from a whole-house repipe.
We confirm the price on the call before anything is scheduled. You know what the job covers and what you're agreeing to before anyone shows up. Common quote inquiries include water heater replacement, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, and repiping, and we can scope all of those on the phone based on what you describe.

You always know who to call if you need us again.
Call (608) 941-9789 and describe what you are seeing or hearing.
We scope the job on the phone, ask about the location of the problem, the type of property, and what the system has been doing, and confirm the price before anything is scheduled. You are not committed to anything until you have the rate and you are comfortable with it.
We work with both. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across Sun Prairie and Dane County all call us for the same range of work: drain cleaning, water heater service, fixture replacement, sewer line work, and repiping. The scope of a commercial job may be larger, but the process is the same: the problem is scoped on the phone and the price is confirmed before we schedule.
It helps to know where in the property the problem is, what you are seeing or hearing, and whether the issue is affecting one fixture or the whole system. For water heater calls, the age and type of unit matters. The more detail you can share on the call, the more accurate the price we give you before anything is scheduled.
The rate depends on what the job actually involves, which is why we confirm the price on the call rather than listing flat numbers on a page. Drain cleaning, water heater replacement, sewer line repair, and repiping all vary based on scope, materials, and access. You get a clear price before anything is scheduled, and we explain what it covers.
For routine work like drain cleaning, faucet replacement, or water heater installation, calling a day or two ahead is usually enough. For urgent situations like a burst pipe or a complete loss of hot water, short-notice calls are welcome and we do our best to fit them in quickly. Ask what the schedule allows when you call and we will confirm availability.
A drain that clogs repeatedly usually has a cause further down the line than the trap or the first few feet of pipe. Root intrusion, a collapsed section, or grease buildup that a standard snake cannot fully clear are the most common culprits. We run a camera through the line to find the actual cause and recommend the right fix, whether that is hydro jetting, a pipe repair, or a section replacement.
Older homes in Sun Prairie with original galvanized steel supply lines often show a pattern of recurring leaks, discolored water, or dropping pressure as the pipe corrodes from the inside. A single leak in an otherwise sound system usually calls for a targeted repair. When the failures are happening in multiple places or the pipe wall has deteriorated throughout, repiping is the more practical answer and we will tell you which situation you are in.
Clear access to the area where the problem is, and know where your main water shutoff is in case it needs to be closed quickly. If the issue is with a specific fixture, leave it as you found it so we can see what it is doing. For water heater calls, note whether the unit is gas or electric and whether the pilot is out or the unit is simply not heating.
We confirm the appointment details on the call, and if access arrangements need to be made, that is the time to work them out. We do not show up unannounced.
If something changes on your end before the visit, call (608) 941-9789 and we will work out what makes sense for the schedule.
Sun Prairie Plumbing Company is available every day from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM for plumbing repairs, installations, and urgent calls. Burst pipes, water heater failures, and sewer backups during open hours are handled with the same process as any other job: the problem scoped, the price confirmed, and the work done right.
We answer when you call. We explain the work. We leave it dry.

Call (608) 941-9789 to talk through what you are dealing with.
| Service Type | What the Job Covers | When to Call | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair | Frozen line thawing, Split pipe repair or replacement, Pressure testing after repair | Properties that lost water flow during a cold snap or found water damage after a thaw | Exterior walls, unheated garages, and crawl spaces are the most common places a Wisconsin freeze damages supply lines |
| Water Softening & Treatment | Softener installation and setup, Whole-house filtration, Water quality assessment | Homes with hard water, scale buildup on fixtures, or water that affects the taste or smell at the faucet | Hard water accelerates wear on water heaters and fixtures, so treatment often extends the life of other plumbing equipment |
| Well Pump & Pressure Tank Service | Well pump diagnosis and repair, Pressure tank inspection and replacement, Pressure switch service | Properties on private wells with inconsistent pressure, short cycling, or a pump that has stopped drawing water | A pressure tank that short cycles puts extra wear on the pump and shortens its service life |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Running or leaking toilets, Clogged toilets, Full toilet replacement and installation | A toilet that runs constantly, will not flush, or needs to be replaced before a sale or renovation | A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water before the problem becomes obvious on the bill |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Dripping faucet repair, Kitchen and bathroom fixture replacement, Utility and laundry room fixtures | Fixture upgrades, persistent drips, or faucets that have corroded or lost pressure | We confirm the shutoff valve is working properly before any fixture work begins |
| Frost-Free Hose Bib Installation | Outdoor faucet replacement, Frost-free bib installation, Supply line connection | Homes with standard outdoor faucets that are vulnerable to freezing in a Wisconsin winter | A frost-free bib drains the line automatically when the faucet is shut off, removing the standing water that freezes and splits the fitting |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Supply line leaks, Pipe leaks behind walls or under floors, Pressure testing and electronic detection | Rising water bills, soft spots in floors or ceilings, or a meter that keeps moving with all fixtures off | We locate the source before opening any wall or floor so the repair is targeted and the disruption is minimal |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Kitchen and bathroom drain clogs, Main line blockages, Slow drain diagnosis | Any drain that is slow, gurgling, or fully stopped | A clog that keeps coming back often means the problem is further down the line than a simple clearing will reach |
| Pipe Insulation & Winterization | Insulating exposed supply lines, Shutting off and draining outdoor lines, Crawl space and garage pipe protection | Older homes with unprotected supply runs in garages, crawl spaces, or utility rooms before freeze season | Preventive insulation costs far less than a burst pipe repair in January |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | Sewer line cleaning and clearing, Camera inspection, Root intrusion and blockage repair, Line repair and replacement | Multiple drains backing up at once, sewage odors, or a main line that has not been inspected in years | A camera inspection shows exactly what is in the line before any repair is recommended |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Whole-house pressure diagnosis, Pressure-reducing valve service, Shutoff valve repair and replacement | Low pressure throughout the home, a shutoff that will not close fully, or pressure that fluctuates unexpectedly | A failing pressure-reducing valve is one of the most common causes of sudden whole-house pressure loss |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular | Tank and tankless units, No-hot-water calls, Sediment flush and element repair, Full unit replacement | Homes or businesses with inconsistent hot water, an aging unit, or a heater that stopped working | Replacement work is carried out to the local code on every callout, and we confirm the right unit size before anything is ordered |
| Sump Pump Installation | New pump installation, Failed pump replacement, Discharge line routing | Basements at risk from spring snowmelt or a pump that failed during the last heavy rain | Dane County snowmelt raises the water table quickly, and a failed pump in April is one of the more common calls we take |
| Garbage Disposal Service | Disposal repair, Full replacement and installation, Jam clearing | A disposal that hums but does not spin, leaks from the bottom, or has stopped working entirely | Most disposals that hum without spinning have a jam that can be cleared without a full replacement |
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst pipe response, Major leak containment, Sewer backup, No-hot-water urgent calls | Any situation where waiting creates more damage or leaves a property without a basic function | We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and scope urgent jobs on the phone so the work starts without delay |
