Planning a kitchen remodel, new bathroom, finished basement, home addition, or laundry room project in Mequon, Wisconsin? Optimal Plumbing provides professional remodel plumbing for homeowners and contractors throughout Mequon and surrounding Ozaukee County communities.
Whether you live near Mequon Road, Port Washington Road, Cedarburg Road, Thiensville, the Milwaukee River, or in one of the residential neighborhoods throughout Mequon, our licensed, bonded, and insured plumbers can help with the plumbing behind your renovation.
From the initial rough-in and relocating water and drain lines to final fixture installation, our goal is to make the plumbing portion of your remodel straightforward, code-compliant, and built to last.
We started our plumbing careers working together on demanding commercial construction projects before eventually deciding to build Optimal Plumbing.
We wanted to create the type of plumbing company we’d want working in our own homes.
That means communicating with you like a person, showing up when we say we will, explaining what we’re doing, protecting your property, and cleaning up when we’re finished.
Remodels already involve enough decisions, contractors, schedules, and moving pieces. We want the plumbing to be one less thing you have to worry about.
Sometimes you don’t know you need a plumber until the walls come down.
Maybe you’ve discovered old galvanized pipes. Your new kitchen layout puts the sink on the opposite side of the room. You decided to add a bathroom to the basement. Or your contractor uncovered plumbing that needs to be changed before the project can continue.
That’s okay. Give us a call at (414)387-2332.
Our plumbers can look at what you have, listen to what you’re trying to accomplish, and explain your options. We regularly coordinate our work with homeowners, remodelers, general contractors, electricians, HVAC professionals, and other trades to help keep projects moving.
Plumbing is one part of a remodel where doing things correctly behind the walls matters for years after the project is finished.
The City of Mequon requires permits for plumbing work associated with many residential remodeling and renovation projects. Depending on the scope of your kitchen, bathroom, basement, laundry room, or home addition, plumbing permits and inspections may be required before the work is completed and walls are closed.
Our team completes remodel plumbing according to applicable Wisconsin plumbing code requirements and coordinates the plumbing portion of the project so it is ready for required inspections and the next phase of your renovation.
Permit requirements can vary depending on the scope of work, so homeowners and contractors should confirm current requirements with the City of Mequon before beginning a remodeling project.
A beautiful remodel starts with plumbing you may never see once the walls are closed.
Our remodel plumbing services include:

The City of Mequon follows the Wisconsin State Plumbing Code.
All plumbing work requires a permit with the exception of minor repairs to faucets or the removal of stoppages in soil and waste pipes.
Homeowners may do their own interior plumbing work provided they currently own and occupy the single-family residence where the work is done. However, they may not do their own plumbing during the construction of a new home or exterior plumbing of any kind.
Plumbers submitting commercial plans that went through E-Plans or State for plan review must provide one copy of the original E-Plans/State Approved plan with the Approval Letter attached to the cover page.
A contractor or homeowner performing work without a permit will be penalized at twice the permit fee. Work that is covered up before an inspection is done may have to be exposed so that the work can be inspected.
Required plumbing inspections include:
You can call the Central Scheduling number to schedule inspections (have Plumbing Permit number available) at 262-236-2930.
