Sewer Inspection

Very happy with estimating appointment with Hartlaub. Jeff arrived right at scheduled time to estiamte a bathroom addition. Was very thorough and detailed in explaining what would be done.

As we prepared to host Christmas, our kitchen sink backed up. The clog was all the way down in the trap in our basement level. We called Justin the morning of the 23rd. He was at our house within hours. He worked fast and efficient. The drain was cleared within an hour. While he was there, he also cleared up a slow draining bathroom sink. He was very clean and followed all Covid precautions. The cost for his work was very reasonable. We would definitely call him again.

Plumber came out to the house to re-route a gas line that was previously for my washer and dryer to become a gas line for a cooktop. The contractor did something during installation that made our entire house smell like it was going to blow up. He told my husband this is normal (which it may be), but that the house should air out in 2 or 3 hours. 5 hours later we were all dizzy and had headaches. We went to dinner and left EVERY window open - only to come home and find that it was much better, but there was still a strong odor of gas. We called WE energies that night to take a look at things, and they said that there was certainly some kind of leak which seemed localized in the paneling between 2 cabinets (unaccessible visually or by hand), but they could not pinpoint the leak location exactly since it seemed to be seeping rather than leaking.

5 days later - we had started keeping our vent hood fan on 24/7 because of the gas smell in the house, and finally the technician came to install the gas range top, this guy was from SEARS. He was great, and told us right away that there was an existing smell of gas in the home. Upon him installing the equipment he noted that the joins that Brth Wilson did were extremely loose, and he had to tighten them up because they were all turning as he was trying to install the cooktop. He noted that the smell MAY have been because of the fact that the line was uncapped, and he suggested that we see if it cleared up after the cooktop was hooked up. It did not clear up, although it was much less after the lines were tightened and the cooktop was put in properly. So I called Borth Wilson a few days later to get them to come back out and fix the problem, because there was still a lingering gas smell.

The contractor came out and took a look at the joins, did the soap test on all of the joins and the piping that he had access to. He told his office that they believed the COOKTOP was leaking, and not the lines they had put in. I explained to Barb at the office that did not make sense since it was leaking WELL before the cooktop was put in, and WE had said they suspected the seepage was coming from the location that would not be accessible for a soap test. She argued this point with me for literally 10 minutes she insisted that they would not replace any lines or do any further work at this point because the equipment and labor is expensive. Then she informed me that essentially the only way they would reevaluate the issue is if I would do a test of the equipment, and shut off the valve to the cooktop itself, and see if the smell resolves. She also said she would contact the owner/Master Plumber to see what further they can do to resolve this issue.

My husband shut off the valve and it turned out the leak was exactly where we said it was, the plumber came back and was very courteous about the situation, he changed part after part until the issue was resolved. There was a faulty seal in one of the joins which was no fault of Borth Wilson in any way. I was very glad to get the problem taken care of over all, and I would use them again in the future. I do wish that the team would have listened to me as a customer more, but in the end the job got done right, and that is what I was paying for.

Peder was fantastic, he was here in a timely manner, professional, and explained everything he repaired. Pricing was very fair for a new gas line for our stove and laundry hookup upstairs. We also really appreciate how easy it is to schedule an appointment and get someone out to the house when we need them. Highly recommend, thank you!

Very professional technician, first price, honest assessment.

They were recommended to me by my contractor friends in milwaukee, had them out for a couple of jobs, great work, great folks!

My Wife and I recently bought our first home and immediately had some issues with the first floor bathroom. I called Chris with Axis on Friday afternoon and told him about the problem. Not only did he come and check it out a couple hours later, when we realized our work schedules wouldnt match up he offered to come on Saturday (the next day) and do the repair. He was beyond professional and was actually able to complete the repair for less than he quoted the day before. I will be calling him with any other issues we have in the future as well as recommending him to everyone I know.

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.

Ben, the owner of the company, received my call in the early AM after I found that my water heater leaked badly. He assured me he would get to my house in the evening after a full day of work. He arrived at 3:30pm and was gone by 5:15pm and had everything fixed. He drained and took the old water heater. He had a great personality, and made sure I knew everything about the new water heater before he left. If I have plumbing problems that I am not comfortable fixing in the future, I will call Flow-Rite Plumbing.

This company never did any work for me so I can not complain or praise the type of work that they perform. I will say that I made an appointment for one of their technicians to come out to give me a quote on upgrading a boiler and I waited two hours and no one ever showed up nor did anyone call to cancel. I believe this is unprofessional and the sad part is this is a contractor whom number I got off the city website.

Highly unprofessional! Please do yourself a favor and steer clear of this outfit.

We had Mr. “Wil” from Milwaukee Handyman come survey our property for painting the basement and adding a few electrical outlets. As “Wil” left he said “I will get back to you as soon “as today” with a quote” exact words! The problem is that was on the 25th of August and today is 3rd September and still no quote a full ten days.
We called their business multiple times and never got a call back most probably because it was not a big profitable job.

There are other smaller businesses and independent contractors who are struggling to put food the table (who are respectful, needy and have great references) They are easily found on neighborhood app and facebook marketplace, let’s give them a chance.

Find a business who values you as a customer and avoid Milwaukee Handyman at all cost.
