Wisconsin plumbing FAQ

How do I check a plumber's license in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin's Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) licenses plumbers.

Do pipes freeze in Wisconsin?

Yes, regularly. Wisconsin winters freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and attics, and outdoor spigots that aren't frost-free. Keep the heat on, disconnect hoses in fall and know where your main shutoff is.

Is Wisconsin water hard?

Generally hard, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.

How old are homes in Wisconsin?

Census estimates for Wisconsin put 34% of homes as built before 1960, 24% from 1960 to 1979, 22% from 1980 to 1999 and 20% in 2000 or later. Older homes are more likely to have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay sewer lines.
