Kenosha is a city with a real mix of property types, and that mix drives the range of calls we handle here. Older single-family homes on their original supply lines sit alongside newer construction, rental properties, and small commercial spaces. Each one comes to us with different problems. A house built decades ago might have galvanized pipe that has been narrowing from the inside for years. A rental property might have a water heater that finally gave out between tenants. A small business might have a main line backup that cannot wait until Monday. MCM Plumbing & Drain Cleaning handles all of it, and same-day service is often available when the situation will not keep.
Property managers coordinating work across multiple addresses, homeowners dealing with a first-time plumbing failure, and business operators who need someone out without a long explanation, these are the calls we take in Kenosha. We cover the full range of residential and commercial plumbing, and we give you a price on the phone before anything is scheduled. Plumbing here gets handled by people who answer to this community.
Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and we have seen the full range across Kenosha County. Below is what we handle on a regular basis here.
When the main sewer line backs up, every drain in the property is affected at once. Toilets back up, floor drains overflow, and the problem cannot be addressed fixture by fixture. We clear main line blockages, run camera inspections to find the cause, and repair or replace the line where the pipe itself is damaged or root-invaded. We handle the line from the house to the city connection. Septic tanks and drain fields are a different trade and not something we work on.
A failing pressure regulator can cause water pressure to spike or drop throughout the whole house. High pressure stresses fittings and appliances. Low pressure makes showers and fixtures frustrating to use. When pressure problems are consistent across the whole property rather than at a single fixture, the regulator is often the first place to look. Replacement is a straightforward job once the cause is confirmed.
A shutoff valve that will not close fully is a problem waiting to become an emergency. Valves at fixtures, appliances, and the main line all wear over time, and older homes in Kenosha often have valves that have not been turned in years. We replace corroded or failing shutoff and isolation valves, and we address the main shutoff if it is not functioning reliably.
A refrigerator water line that leaks slowly can cause significant damage before anyone notices. We run and connect supply lines for refrigerators and ice makers, repair lines that have developed a leak, and replace fittings that have corroded or worked loose. It is a smaller job, but the water damage from an ignored line is not.
In the upper Midwest, pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated garages face real freeze risk every winter. A burst pipe can release water quickly into a wall or floor. We respond to burst pipe emergencies, locate the damaged section, shut off the supply, and make the repair. We also look at the conditions that caused the freeze so the same section does not fail again next season.
Most homes in Kenosha sit on basements, and a working sump pump is what keeps spring snowmelt from finding its way inside. We install new sump pump systems, replace failed units, and repair pumps that are running but struggling to keep up. If a sump pump has not been tested recently or is old enough that its reliability is in question, that is worth addressing before the next heavy rain or thaw.
Beyond the jobs above, we cover drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and pipe repair, toilet and faucet installation and repair, water heater repair and replacement for both tank and tankless units, garbage disposal installation and repair, repiping and pipe replacement, water pressure diagnostics, pipe insulation and winterization, and water filtration and softener installation. Work is performed by licensed plumbers on every job.
Some calls start with a clear symptom and a known cause. A toilet that runs, a faucet that drips, a drain that backs up at a single fixture. Others are less obvious. Water showing up in a finished basement, pressure that has dropped across the whole house, a hot water system that is taking longer than it used to. We diagnose the cause before we quote the repair, because a straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers is one where the price reflects the actual problem rather than a guess at it.
When a pipe, fixture, or appliance has reached the end of its useful life, repair is sometimes the more expensive path. A water heater that is failing on multiple fronts, galvanized supply lines that have corroded from the inside, a sump pump that has run past its reliable service life. We assess what you have, explain what we find, and give you the options. The decision is yours. We carry out the replacement work cleanly and to code. Code-compliant plumbing on every job is not a phrase we use loosely.
Renovation work, bathroom additions, kitchen updates, new appliance hookups. Planned plumbing installation is a different pace from emergency repair, but the standard is the same. We coordinate the plumbing side of a project, handle rough-in and finish work, and make sure the result holds up to inspection. If you are managing a larger project and need the plumbing scoped before you commit to a timeline, call and we will walk through what is involved. The service page carries the full breakdown of what we handle.
A burst pipe, a sewer backup, a water heater that stopped working before the morning rush. These are calls that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment, and we take them seriously. We answer calls from 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM daily, including weekends. Same-day service is often available for urgent situations, and we prioritize emergency calls within those hours. When you call, describe what is happening and we will determine the right response.
A property that has to stay occupied and a business that has to stay open both require a plumber who can work around the schedule, not just show up and shut things down. We work with landlords and property managers who need repairs coordinated with tenants, and with commercial operators who cannot afford a full shutdown. When you call, let us know the constraints and we will plan accordingly.
Don't let a small leak turn into a flooded floor. The sooner a plumber looks at it, the simpler the repair usually is. Give us a call and we will take it from there.
Water heater failures tend to follow a pattern. A tank that is corroding from the inside shows up as discolored water at the hot tap. A failing heating element means water that does not get as hot as it used to, or runs out faster than normal. A unit that is leaking at the base is usually at the end of its useful life. We diagnose the issue on the same visit and walk you through whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the more practical path given the age and condition of the unit.
When a home has been extended or reconfigured, the original water heater is sometimes undersized for the current demand. A tankless unit may suit a property where hot water demand is spread across the day. A larger tank may suit a household where demand peaks in a short window. We look at what the property actually needs and explain the options before any work is scheduled. We'll make your plumbing sound again.
When you call, it helps to have a clear description of what you are seeing. Where the problem is, whether it is getting worse, whether you have already tried anything, and whether water is actively going somewhere it should not. For planned work, knowing the age of the existing plumbing, the type of water heater, and whether any recent work has been done in the area helps us give you a more accurate picture on the call.
We confirm the price before we schedule anything. You are told what it covers and what it does not. If the scope is larger, such as a repipe or a sewer line replacement, we walk you through what the project involves before any commitment is made. Reach out and a plumber will follow up.
The rate you get on the phone is based on the type of work and what we know about the situation going in. What can change a quote is what we find when we get there. Older plumbing that has corroded more than expected, a shutoff valve that will not close and needs to come out before anything else can be done, a blockage that sits deeper in the line than a standard fixture clog. These are the things that affect the scope, and we explain them before we continue.
We do not invent figures on this page because the right number depends on the job, and a number that contradicts the service page is worse than no number at all. Call with the details, get the rate on the phone, and ask what it covers. You will get a straight answer. We'll take care of the pipes from here.
Real experience. Local knowledge. Ready to plumb.
Plenty of Kenosha jobs start with a look at our drain guide.
We serve Kenosha and extend coverage across Kenosha County to the surrounding communities. If you are in any of the following areas, we can get to you:
Not sure whether your address is covered? Call and we will confirm. The same standard of work applies across all of these areas, and same-day availability is often possible here as well.
We trace the line using the access points available, including cleanouts, fixture connections, and visible runs, and work from there. In some cases a camera inspection of the drain line or a pressure test on the supply side helps confirm where the pipe is running before any wall or floor is opened.
Usually, yes. A blockage that appears to clear itself has typically shifted rather than been removed. Grease, root intrusion, and buildup inside a pipe do not disappear on their own, and the same spot will restrict flow again. A proper clearing removes the obstruction rather than just moving it.
Yes. A tenant can provide access and answer questions about the problem on site. It helps to let us know when you call that the property is occupied and that you will not be present, so we can plan the visit accordingly. If a decision needs to be made during the job that goes beyond the original scope, we reach you directly before proceeding.
Yes. New appliances that require a water supply connection, a drain connection, or a shutoff valve can be handled as part of a plumbing visit. Let us know what is being installed when you call so we come prepared.
Any leak that is actively wetting a floor, wall, or ceiling, any pipe that has burst or split, and any situation where you cannot isolate the flow with a shutoff valve all qualify as urgent. Slow drips at a faucet or fixture can usually wait, but if water is moving somewhere it should not be and you cannot stop it, call us right away.
Yes. Hard water is common across this region, and a water softener is a practical addition for homes where mineral buildup is affecting fixtures, appliances, and water quality. We handle water filtration and softener installation as part of our standard residential plumbing work. Call and describe what you are dealing with, and we will explain what the installation involves and what it covers.
We document what was done so you have a record of the work. If you need documentation for an insurer or a property manager, let us know when you call and we will make sure the record covers what is required.
Yes, and it shapes the calls we see every winter and spring. Frozen and burst pipes are a consistent seasonal issue in homes where supply lines run through exterior walls, crawl spaces, or unheated spaces. Spring snowmelt raises the water table and puts real pressure on sump pump systems in basement homes. Pipe insulation and winterization service addresses the freeze risk before the season arrives rather than after a pipe has already failed.
Supply source, water pressure, and pipe material can all vary between adjacent municipalities. Letting us know the address when you call is enough for us to work from. We assess what is actually in the building once we arrive rather than assuming anything based on location alone.
A toilet that runs continuously can waste a significant amount of water every day, which shows up directly on the water bill. The exact amount depends on the severity of the run and the local water rate, but even a slow, constant run adds up quickly over a billing cycle. It is worth fixing promptly rather than ignoring.
Yes. If you have already purchased a faucet, toilet, showerhead, or other fixture, we can install it. The key is making sure the fixture fits the existing rough-in and connection points, which we can confirm when we assess the job.
MCM Plumbing & Drain Cleaning is available from 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM daily, and same-day service is often available for calls that cannot wait.

|---|---|---|---|
| Sump Pump Installation | new sump pit and pump installation, replacement of failed units, discharge line routing, assessment for homes without existing systems | Basements at risk during spring snowmelt or homes without an existing sump system | The water table in parts of Kenosha rises significantly in spring. A working sump pump is real insurance. |
| Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair | locating the frozen or burst section, supply shutoff and flow stop, pipe repair or replacement, assessment of why the pipe froze | Homes with pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, or unheated garages during Kenosha County winters | We look at the cause after the repair so the same pipe does not freeze again next season. |
| Emergency Plumbing | burst pipe response, major active leaks, complete loss of hot water, main shutoff and supply isolation | Any situation where water is actively damaging the home or service cannot wait | We are open every day from 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM. Same-day service is often available for urgent calls. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular | tank and tankless units, diagnosis of heating and pressure issues, full unit replacement, sizing and option walkthrough | Households with no hot water, rusty water, or a unit past its useful life | Replacement is often the more practical call once a tank is showing multiple symptoms. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | pressure regulator diagnosis and replacement, shutoff valve repair and replacement, whole-house pressure check, fixture-level valve service | Homes with pressure that has dropped, spiked, or varies room to room | Galvanized pipe that has corroded from the inside is a common cause of pressure loss in older Kenosha homes. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | faucet repair and replacement, shower and tub valve service, sink and fixture installation, remodel rough-in and finish work | Renovation projects or fixtures that drip, leak, or will not hold temperature | Proper connection at installation prevents slow leaks that show up weeks later behind the wall. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | running and leaking toilets, flush valve and fill valve replacement, full toilet replacement, new installation for remodels | Homeowners dealing with a running toilet, a leak at the base, or a full replacement | A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water before it becomes obvious on the bill. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | sink, tub, and shower drains, floor drains and laundry lines, main line clearing, hydro jetting for stubborn blockages | Homeowners or tenants with slow or fully blocked drains | Multiple slow drains at once usually point to the main line, not individual fixtures. |
| Pipe Insulation & Winterization | insulating exposed supply lines, frost-free hose bib installation, outdoor line shutdown and drain, crawl space and rim joist pipe protection | Homeowners preparing for winter or following a prior freeze event | Scheduling in fall, before temperatures drop consistently, takes far less time than repairing a burst pipe in February. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | supply line and joint leaks, fixture connection leaks, hidden leak tracing, pipe repair after locating the source | Anyone seeing water damage, high bills, or moisture with no obvious source | Finding the source before cutting into walls saves time and material on the repair. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | disposal repair and reset, full unit replacement, electrical and drain connection check, installation for new or remodeled kitchens | Kitchens with a disposal that hums, jams, or leaks at the sink flange | A humming disposal that will not spin usually has a jammed plate, which is often a quick fix. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | main line clearing and cleaning, root intrusion removal, camera inspection of the line, repair or replacement of the line to the city tap | Homes with backups affecting multiple fixtures or suspected line damage | We work the line from the cleanout to the city connection. We do not service septic tanks or drain fields. |
