For residential and commercial plumbing work alike, the range of work we take on is broad. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners all call us for the same core jobs: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposal work, water pressure diagnostics, shutoff valve repair, and repiping.
Every job gets code-compliant plumbing, and the work is performed by licensed plumbers who know Wisconsin standards. Whether you manage a rental property in Hudson or own a commercial building in St. Croix County, we handle the work the same way: correctly, cleanly, and without cutting corners.
Let us handle the plumbing and the permits.
Over the years, we have seen every kind of pipe and fixture, and we have learned that plumbing problems rarely wait for a convenient time. A burst pipe in January, no hot water on a Sunday morning, a major leak soaking through a ceiling, a basement filling with water: these situations need a plumber now, not next week.
We offer same-day service and respond to plumbing emergencies throughout the Hudson area. You get clear communication from the first call to the final test, so you always know what we found, what we are doing, and what it will cost.
Call (715) 961-4559 any time you need us.
We built this business around plumbing work like this. Slow drains, backed-up sinks, clogged floor drains, kitchen grease buildup, bathroom clogs that keep coming back: these are the calls we get every week, and we clear them efficiently.
When the problem runs deeper, we handle sewer line cleaning, main line clogs, rooter service, and hydro jetting to cut through stubborn blockages. We service the line that runs from your house out to the city connection, clearing it, repairing it, or replacing it when the situation calls for that. The plumbing done right the first time means fewer callbacks and fewer surprises.
We keep your home dry and your water flowing.
Tank or tankless, gas or electric, we repair and replace water heaters for homes and commercial properties across the area. If you have no hot water, we diagnose the cause and give you straightforward options: repair what is there or replace it with a unit that fits your household's demand.
We also handle water heater flush service as routine maintenance. Sediment builds up over time, especially in areas with harder water, and a periodic flush extends the life of the unit and keeps it running efficiently. If you are considering a tankless upgrade, we can walk you through what that involves and whether it makes sense for your home.
Call and we will get the water running right.
When the job is done, we leave your home clean and dry, and that starts with finding the problem accurately before we open anything up. Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, beneath sinks, and along water supply lines can cause significant damage before they become visible. We use the right tools to locate the source and repair it without unnecessary demolition.
For older homes with deteriorating pipe materials, we offer full repiping in copper and PEX. Repiping is a larger investment, but it solves the problem at the root rather than patching it section by section. We work with property owners across St. Croix County to plan the job, pull the permits, and complete it with minimal disruption to the household.
This is the everyday work that keeps a home or building functioning. We repair and replace toilets, including running toilets, weak flushes, and cracked bases. We handle faucet repair and installation in kitchens and bathrooms, fixture installation, and garbage disposal repair and replacement.
Shutoff valve repair and replacement, water pressure diagnostics, outdoor faucet repair, and frost-free hose bib installation round out the list. If a valve is stuck, a faucet is dripping, a disposal has stopped working, or your water pressure has dropped, we can diagnose it and fix it.
We show up with the parts and the knowledge to handle it in one visit.
St. Croix County winters are not mild. Temperatures regularly drop well below freezing for weeks at a time, and the freeze-thaw cycles of late winter and early spring create their own set of problems. Homes near the St. Croix River sit in low-lying areas where the water table rises with snowmelt and spring runoff. Most homes here are built on basements, which means exposed pipe runs, sump pits, and exterior lines that need attention before and during the cold season.
We handle the plumbing work that Wisconsin winters demand.
When temperatures drop fast and stay there, pipes in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, and garage areas are at real risk of freezing. A frozen pipe that is not caught quickly can burst, sending water through walls, floors, and ceilings in minutes. We thaw frozen pipes safely, repair or replace burst sections, and restore water service as quickly as possible. Emergency availability means you can reach us when this happens at night or on a weekend, because in Wisconsin, it often does.
Spring snowmelt and heavy rain push groundwater up fast in lower-lying parts of St. Croix County. A sump pump is the first line of defense against a flooded basement, and a failed or undersized pump can mean thousands of dollars in water damage. We install, replace, and service sump pumps and their discharge lines to keep basements dry through the wet season. If your current pump is aging or has stopped working, do not wait for the next hard rain to find out.
The smarter call is the one you make before a pipe freezes, not after. We insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, attics, garages, and exterior walls, and we winterize outdoor faucets and hose bibs before the hard freeze arrives. Frost-free hose bib installation is another option for homes that have standard outdoor spigots that are still vulnerable. A few hours of preventive work in October saves a much harder repair call in January.
Over the years, we have seen every kind of pricing surprise that makes customers distrust contractors, and we have built our business to avoid all of it. Before any work begins, we tell you what the job will cost. No hidden fees added at the end, no vague estimates that balloon once we are already in the wall.
We give you a clear number, explain what the work involves, and let you make an informed decision. That approach has kept customers calling us back and referring neighbors across the Hudson area for over a decade. We have been doing this since 2011, and straightforward pricing is part of how we have stayed in business that long.
Our primary service area is Hudson, and we work throughout St. Croix County and the surrounding communities. That includes River Falls, New Richmond, Baldwin, Somerset, Roberts, and the Wisconsin side of the greater Stillwater metro area.
We service this area because we know its homes and the plumbing behind the walls. If you are in the area and need a plumber, we are close by and ready to schedule.
We are based in Hudson and work throughout St. Croix County, including River Falls, New Richmond, Baldwin, Somerset, Roberts, Hammond, Woodville, and the western Twin Cities suburbs just across the Wisconsin border. If you are unsure whether we cover your location, call us at (715) 961-4559 and we will give you a straight answer.
Yes. We are available around the clock, seven days a week, for plumbing emergencies in Hudson and the surrounding St. Croix County area. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and no-hot-water calls all qualify, and we respond as quickly as we can to limit the damage.
We give you a clear quote based on the actual work involved before anything starts. If we get on-site and find something unexpected, we tell you before we proceed so you can decide how to move forward. We do not add charges at the end without your knowledge.
It helps to know what the problem is, where it is located in the home or building, how long it has been happening, and whether you have noticed any related issues like low pressure, discolored water, or unusual sounds. The more detail you can share, the more accurate our estimate will be before we arrive.
For non-emergency work, we can often get to you within a day or two, and same-day appointments are available when the schedule allows. Emergency calls move to the front of the line. Call (715) 961-4559 and we will find the earliest time that works.
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers throughout St. Croix County who need reliable plumbing service across multiple units or buildings. We understand that a plumbing problem in a rental unit costs more than just the repair, and we work efficiently to keep your tenants comfortable and your maintenance calls manageable.
A drain that clogs repeatedly often has a deeper cause, such as root intrusion, a partial pipe collapse, or significant buildup that snaking alone cannot resolve. We can run a camera inspection to see what is happening inside the line and recommend the right fix, whether that is hydro jetting, a pipe repair, or a section replacement.
That depends on the job. A drain cleaning or faucet repair might take an hour or less, while a water heater replacement or a sewer line repair is a larger commitment. When you call, we will give you a realistic time estimate based on what you describe so you can plan your day accordingly.
Cady Plumbing & HVAC is locally owned, and we have been serving Hudson and St. Croix County since 2011. Same-day appointments are available, and we are reachable for plumbing emergencies when something cannot wait.

| Type of Job | Scope of Work | Typical Situations | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | pressure diagnostics, shutoff valve replacement, whole-home pressure issues, fixture-level pressure checks | Homes with noticeably low pressure, a stuck shutoff valve, or pressure that has changed suddenly | A failing pressure regulator or a partially closed valve is often the culprit and is straightforward to fix. |
| Sump Pump Installation | new pump installation, pump replacement, discharge line service, backup pump options | Basements in low-lying areas of St. Croix County that see groundwater rise during snowmelt or heavy rain | An aging or undersized pump is a liability heading into spring; replacement before the wet season is the smarter call. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | main line clog clearing, rooter service, hydro jetting, sewer line repair and replacement | Slow drains throughout the home, sewage odors, or multiple fixtures backing up at once | We service the line from your house out to the city connection, including clearing, repair, and full replacement. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | sink and tub clogs, floor drain clearing, kitchen grease buildup, recurring bathroom clogs | Any drain that is slow, backed up, or repeatedly clogging | Recurring clogs often signal a deeper line problem; we can inspect further if snaking alone does not hold. |
| Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair | pipe thawing, burst section replacement, water service restoration, emergency response | Homes with frozen or burst pipes during Wisconsin cold snaps, especially in exterior walls or unheated spaces | Speed matters: a burst pipe can cause significant damage in minutes, so emergency availability is part of this service. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | running toilet repair, weak flush diagnosis, cracked base replacement, new toilet installation | Any toilet that runs constantly, flushes poorly, rocks, or needs full replacement | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day; most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular | tank and tankless units, gas and electric models, sediment flush service, new unit installation | Households with no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, or an aging unit past its useful life | Replacement units are sized to your household demand; we pull the permits and handle the full installation. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | disposal repair, full replacement, jam clearing, wiring and drain connection | A disposal that hums but will not spin, leaks at the base, or has stopped working entirely | We carry common replacement units and can usually complete the swap in one visit. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | hidden wall and ceiling leaks, supply line leaks, under-sink repairs, slab and below-floor leaks | Homeowners who notice water damage, high water bills, or damp spots with no obvious source | We locate the source accurately before opening walls to keep demolition to a minimum. |
| Pipe Insulation & Winterization | exposed pipe insulation, outdoor faucet winterization, crawl space and attic pipe protection, pre-freeze inspections | Homeowners who want to prevent frozen pipes before temperatures drop rather than repair them after | A few hours of preventive work in October is significantly less expensive than a burst pipe repair in January. |
| Emergency Plumbing | burst pipe response, major leak control, sewer backup, no-hot-water calls | Any plumbing situation that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment | We are available after hours and on weekends for Hudson-area emergencies; call as soon as the problem starts. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | kitchen and bath faucet repair, new fixture installation, outdoor faucet service, frost-free hose bib installation | Dripping faucets, fixture upgrades, and outdoor spigot replacement before winter | Frost-free hose bibs are a smart upgrade for Wisconsin homes still running standard outdoor spigots. |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Age is the first indicator. Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, and once a unit is past that range, repairs become less cost-effective. Other signs include rusty or discolored hot water, a rumbling or popping sound from sediment buildup, water pooling around the base of the unit, or hot water that runs out faster than it used to. When you call us, we diagnose the cause and give you honest options: repair what is there or replace it with a properly sized unit.
What causes drains to keep clogging even after they are cleared?
A drain that clogs repeatedly usually has a deeper cause than surface buildup. Tree root intrusion, a partial pipe collapse, significant grease accumulation, or a belly in the line can all cause recurring problems that snaking alone cannot fix. We can run a camera inspection to see what is happening inside the line and recommend the right solution, whether that is hydro jetting, a pipe repair, or a section replacement.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it heated continuously. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, so there is no storage tank and no standby heat loss. Tankless units tend to have a longer service life and can make sense for households with high or variable hot water demand. The right choice depends on your home's gas or electrical setup, your usage patterns, and your budget. We can walk you through both options and what installation involves for each.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We offer same-day appointments for non-emergency work and respond to plumbing emergencies throughout the Hudson area after hours and on weekends. When something cannot wait, call us and we will get there as quickly as we can.
How do you find a hidden leak behind a wall or under a floor?
We use a combination of pressure testing, moisture detection, and inspection tools to locate the source of a hidden leak before we open anything up. The goal is to find the problem accurately so we limit the area we need to access. Once we have located the leak, we explain what the repair involves and give you a clear quote before any work begins.
Is the plumbing work permitted and inspected?
Yes, where permits are required by Wisconsin code, we pull them and the work is inspected accordingly. We handle the permit process so you do not have to coordinate with the municipality yourself. Code-compliant plumbing on every job is not optional for us; it protects you when you sell the property and ensures the work is done to a standard that holds up.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
The most common signs are slow drains in multiple fixtures at the same time, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, sewage odors inside or near the foundation, and water backing up in unexpected places, such as a floor drain backing up when you flush a toilet. These symptoms usually point to a blockage or damage in the main line rather than an individual fixture. We clear, repair, and replace sewer lines from the house out to the city connection.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
Before any work begins, we give you a clear number and explain what the job involves. If we find something unexpected on-site, we tell you before we proceed so you stay in control of the decision.
What should I do if a pipe freezes or bursts?
If you suspect a pipe has frozen, shut off the water at the main shutoff valve to limit damage if it bursts, and call us right away. Do not use an open flame to thaw a pipe. If a pipe has already burst, get the water off at the main shutoff and call us for emergency service. We respond to frozen and burst pipe calls after hours and on weekends because in a Wisconsin winter, these situations do not keep business hours.
How does pricing work, and will the quote change once you arrive?
We give you a clear quote based on the actual work involved before anything starts. If we get on-site and find something unexpected, we tell you before we proceed so you can decide how to move forward. We do not add charges at the end without your knowledge. Our goal is a number you can plan around, not a surprise at the end of the job.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job is handled by licensed plumbers who know Wisconsin code and local construction standards. We do the work correctly the first time so you are not calling us back for the same problem.
What can hydro jetting clear that snaking cannot?
A drain snake breaks through a clog and creates an opening, but it does not clean the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to cut through grease buildup, mineral deposits, and compacted debris and flush them out of the line entirely. It is also more effective against root intrusion that has not yet caused structural damage. For lines with stubborn or recurring blockages, hydro jetting is often the more thorough and longer-lasting solution.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the affected area and often to the main shutoff, water heater, or other parts of the home. If you are a property manager or landlord, we can coordinate directly with a tenant for access as long as we have your authorization and a contact to reach on-site. Call us and we will work out a scheduling approach that fits your situation.
When does a sump pump need to be replaced?
Most sump pumps last 7 to 10 years with normal use. Signs that a replacement is coming include a pump that runs continuously, one that cycles on and off rapidly, unusual noise during operation, or a pump that simply does not activate when water rises in the pit. In St. Croix County, where spring snowmelt can push groundwater up quickly, an unreliable pump is a real risk. We recommend not waiting until the first hard rain of the season to find out the pump has failed.
Every plumbing situation is a little different, so call us at (715) 961-4559 and we will give you a straight answer on what the work involves and what it will cost.
