Riehle Plumbing Heating & Electric - Wausau's Emergency Plumbing Repair

Our thorough plumbing inspection includes checking your drain lines for early signs of grease buildup, a common issue in Wausau homes. We assess the condition of your pipes and the venting system to ensure proper flow. By identifying slow-draining sections early, we can recommend targeted cleaning or habits to prevent a full clog, saving you from messy backups and costly emergency repairs.

Drain vents on your roof allow sewer gases to escape and let air into your pipes for proper drainage. In Wausau's cold winters, moisture in these vents can freeze, blocking them. This causes slow drains, gurgling sounds, and even sewer gas odors inside. Our inspection checks vent pipe integrity and location to identify if yours are prone to freezing, allowing us to suggest preventive measures like insulation before the deep freeze sets in.

Absolutely. Many modern plumbing systems rely on electricity for sump pumps, water heaters, well pumps, and in-sink garbage disposals. Our electrical inspection ensures these critical components have safe, adequate power and proper grounding. For example, a faulty circuit to your sump pump or a disposal can lead to water damage or clogs. We check these connections so your entire home system works reliably together, especially during our harsh seasons.
