Heiden’s Humble Beginnings

Back in 1925, Al Heiden and Stan Wyderka started Heiden Plumbing & Heating, opening for business on 15th and Wright in Milwaukee. Nearly 50 years later in 1972, Stan’s son Ken purchased the business, turning it into the Heiden Plumbing Company.

Going Strong Three Generations Later

Now, Ken and his family continue to care for families and businesses throughout Metro Milwaukee. Heiden operates with the same pride in craftsmanship, dedication to customer satisfaction, and integrity that shaped the company more than 100 years ago. We are proud to offer state-of-the-art home comfort services, including:

Heiden—Proven to Have Honest Ethical Standards and Practices

In 2001, WITI Fox Channel 6 and reporter Katrina Cravy performed a sting operation on the Milwaukee plumbing industry. The goal was to investigate various local companies to see if they took advantage of their customers.

Heiden Plumbing was one of three companies brought in to repair a toilet—completely unaware of the operation. The other two companies chosen wanted to charge $250 – $600 for the simple fix. Us? We repaired it for $85.

Rely on Heiden for Efficient and Honest Service

For us, customer satisfaction is the real measure of our success. A large portion of our business consists of repeat and referred customers, so we strive to maintain an honest and friendly reputation.

A running toilet may not seem like a big deal, but it’s a sneaky problem to deal with. When ignored, it can waste as much as 26 gallons of water a day. Clogs, slow and leaky tanks, and worn-out flappers can all cause a toilet to run. So can faulty floats, refill tubes, and inlet valves. Try fixing or replacing those parts—or calling our experts for repair.

Clogged drains can be a recurring and frustrating problem. Between hair, soap, food, mineral deposits, and dirt, there are a lot of ways to cause backups. Fortunately, Heiden Plumbing has the solutions. Mix ½ cup of salt and ½ cup of baking soda together, pour it down the clogged drain, and let it sit for half an hour before flushing it away with boiling water. If that doesn’t work, don’t settle for chemical drain cleaners, which can harm your pipes. Instead, give our plumbers a call to clear things away.

A backed-up line is both frustrating and potentially costly. But it’s also preventable. Fats, oils, and grease from cooking are some of the biggest culprits of clogs. Instead of washing them down the sink—where they can stick to pipes—let them harden and cool off a bit, then throw them away. Similarly, be careful of what you flush down the toilet. Be sure to throw out paper towels, baby wipes, or sanitary napkins instead of flushing them.

The biggest symptom of a sewer clog that you’ll see will be with the drains in your house. Whether they’re backed up or slow, something bigger could be wrong. Other signs include:

  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds when water drains
  • Bad, sewage-like odors coming from your drains
  • Water seeping and setting out on your lawn

Typically, you can expect your furnace to last you about 13 years and your AC about 10 to 15 years. Those numbers are conservative, though. If you take good care of your systems and regularly schedule maintenance, you can help increase their lifespan.

In addition to lengthening your systems’ lifespans, regular service also improves your energy efficiency. Your units will be cleaned and tuned, your energy bills will decrease, and you’ll reduce the chance of unexpected HVAC issues, breakdowns, and repairs.
