Property managers and landlords who look after homes in Chalco call us for the same reason anyone does: something stopped working, and it needs to be handled by someone who knows what they are looking at. A rental that sits with a broken water heater or a backed-up drain is a tenant complaint waiting to happen, and the longer it waits, the more expensive it gets. Extreme Plumbing Company handles those calls, and the work is carried out by licensed plumbers who scope the job, give a clear price, and get it done.
The same applies to builders finishing a new construction, contractors coordinating a remodel, and building owners managing a multi-unit property in Chalco or the surrounding area. The job types vary, but the process does not. You call, we assess, the price is confirmed before a wrench comes out, and the work gets done right. The plumber who works on your home runs this area every week.
No matter what's going wrong with your pipes, the call starts the same way: we find out what is happening, look at what is there, and tell you what it takes to fix it. Below are the specific job types we take on across Chalco.
Older homes in the area often still carry galvanized steel supply lines or, in some cases, polybutylene pipe installed decades ago. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, narrowing over time and eventually failing at joints. Polybutylene becomes brittle and cracks under normal water pressure. When either material is the underlying problem, a targeted replacement or a full repipe is the repair that actually ends the cycle of recurring leaks.
A burst pipe needs to be dealt with fast. The first step is getting the water off, which means locating the right shutoff valve and closing it before the damage spreads further. We carry out the repair and pressure-test the line before the job is called done. If the pipe that failed is part of a larger section that is showing wear, we flag it so you can decide whether to address it now or watch it.
An outdoor tap that drips, leaks at the wall connection, or will not fully shut off is a straightforward repair that is easy to put off and easy to regret. We handle hose bib replacement and repair, as well as the plumbing connections for irrigation systems where the work is on the supply line side. If a shutoff valve for an outdoor line has seized or is no longer holding, that gets replaced at the same time.
A standard drain snake punches through a clog. Hydro jetting clears the pipe wall. For kitchen drain lines with years of grease buildup, or main drain runs where repeated cabling has not kept up with the accumulation, high-pressure water flushing is the method that actually restores full flow. We assess the line before recommending it, because not every pipe or situation calls for it.
A pressure regulator sits on the main supply line where it enters the building and keeps water pressure within a safe operating range. When a regulator fails, pressure can climb high enough to stress fixtures and supply line connections throughout the whole house. Replacement is a focused job that resolves the problem at the source rather than chasing symptoms fixture by fixture.
Pressure that is weak at every fixture usually points to a supply-side problem: a failing regulator, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a corroded pipe restricting flow. Pressure that is low at one fixture but normal elsewhere suggests a localized issue, often a clogged aerator or a failing fixture valve. We run water pressure diagnostics to find the actual cause before recommending a repair path. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, the water goes off first, and what happens after that depends on what kind of property is involved and what the situation actually calls for. Not every plumbing call looks the same, and the right approach in a newer build is often different from the right approach in a home that has been standing for forty years.
Some calls are straightforward: a fixture is leaking, a drain is slow, a toilet keeps running. Others take more digging. A water bill that jumped without explanation, a smell that points to a slow drain leak, a wet spot on a ceiling with no obvious source above it. These are the calls where diagnosis matters as much as the repair itself. We use slab leak detection and camera inspection where the problem is hidden, and we explain what we find before any work begins.
Water heater replacement, toilet installation, faucet and fixture swaps, shutoff valve replacement, and garbage disposal work all fall into the category of jobs where the old unit is done and a new one goes in. These are often planned calls rather than emergencies, and they benefit from being scoped properly upfront. We handle water heater repair and replacement for both tank and tankless units, and we cover the gas line connection where the supply runs to the appliance.
A kitchen remodel, a bathroom addition, or a laundry room relocation all require plumbing work that has to be done in the right sequence with the rest of the build. That includes supply line rough-in, drain and vent connections, fixture installation, and backflow prevention where it is required. Water filtration and softener installation also falls here when a homeowner is setting up a new system on the supply line. The full breakdown of what each installation involves is on the service page.
One call, and a plumber is on the way.
Plumbing emergencies do not arrange themselves around a convenient time. A sewer backup on a Saturday night, a burst pipe in the middle of the week, no hot water when tenants are expecting it. We are available any hour of any day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. There are no closed hours, and there is no after-hours line that goes to a voicemail.
For businesses and rental properties that have to stay operational, we work around the schedule where we can. If a building cannot have the water off during business hours, that is worth mentioning when you call so we can plan accordingly. The goal is to get the problem resolved without making the disruption worse than it has to be.
For emergencies, close the nearest shutoff valve to the problem first. If you cannot isolate it at the fixture level, close the main. Then call (531) 365-9289 and describe what is happening. We get a plumber moving toward your address and talk through any steps to take while they are on the way.
Quick to arrive. Careful with your home. Clean when we leave.
Some plumbing work in Chalco and across Sarpy County requires a permit before it can be completed, and some does not. Replacing a faucet or clearing a drain is straightforward. Installing a new water heater, repiping a supply system, or adding a new fixture location in a remodel is more likely to involve a permit and a required inspection before the work is covered up.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the job and, in some cases, on whether the work is on private property or touches anything in the public right of way. Rules vary between municipalities and the county around them. We talk through what applies to your specific job when we scope the work, so you know what to expect before anything is scheduled.
If an inspection is required, we schedule the work to accommodate it rather than leaving you to coordinate that separately.
The price depends on what the job actually involves. A drain cleaning on a straightforward fixture line costs less than a slab leak repair that requires locating a hidden pipe and accessing it through concrete. A faucet replacement is a different scope from a full repipe. What moves a quote is the fault itself, what has to come apart to reach it, and what materials the repair requires.
We confirm the price before any work begins. The job is scoped and priced before a wrench comes out, so you know what you are agreeing to before anything is scheduled. If the plumber opens something up and finds that the scope has changed, that conversation happens before work continues. You are told what is there, what it means, and what the updated cost is.
To get a quote for your specific situation, call (531) 365-9289. Ask what the job involves and what it covers, and you will get a straight answer. No-pressure estimates, priced up front.
Before booking anything, our plumbing page is worth a read.
We cover Chalco and the surrounding area across Sarpy County, including La Vista, Papillion, Gretna, Ralston, and Boys Town. Whether the call comes from a single-family home, a multi-unit rental, or a commercial property, the service area covers it. We handle the same range of work across all of these communities: drain cleaning, leak repair, water heater service, sewer line work, repiping, emergency calls, and installations of all kinds.
If you are managing a property that spans more than one of these towns, or coordinating work across multiple addresses, one call covers the whole conversation. We sort out the scheduling and confirm what applies at each address.
Yes. When you call, describe the problem and the access situation, and we work around what is available. If a tenant is home and can let the plumber in, that is usually enough. We confirm the scope and the price with the person responsible for the work, whether that is the property manager or the owner, before anything begins.
Property managers and landlords with multiple addresses in the area we cover can call for service at any of those locations. There is no formal account arrangement required. When you call, give us the address of the property that needs service and the details of the problem, and we handle it the same way we would any other call.
Yes. Before the job is called complete, the plumber confirms what was found, what was repaired or replaced, and how the system was tested. If anything came up during the work that affects another part of the plumbing, that gets explained as well so you are not left guessing about the condition of the rest of the system.
Yes. Hard water leaves mineral scale inside supply lines, and in older galvanized pipe that is already narrowed by corrosion, the buildup accelerates the restriction. Fixtures and water heaters in those homes tend to show the effects faster than newer installations. A water softener installed on the supply line reduces the mineral load before it reaches the rest of the system, which helps both the pipe and the appliances it feeds.
Payment is typically taken when the work is complete. If a deposit applies to a larger or multi-day project, that is confirmed when the job is booked, not after the fact. Call (531) 365-9289 and ask about payment expectations for your specific job so you know what to have ready before the plumber arrives.
In a town with a mix of established homes and newer construction, the most common calls tend to be drain cleaning, water heater repair and replacement, leak detection in older supply lines, and sewer line service where tree roots have found their way into aging pipe. Sump pump installation and service also comes up regularly in the area, given the regional rainfall patterns and the basements that are common in this part of Nebraska.
The plumbing repair is what we complete. Patching drywall, retiling, or restoring a finished floor surface after the pipe work is done falls outside the scope of a plumbing visit. If access needs to be cut, the plumber will let you know beforehand so you can plan for the finish work separately. We keep the opening as focused as possible to limit how much restoration is needed afterward.
Permit requirements, inspection processes, and which authority oversees the work can differ between incorporated city limits and unincorporated land in the surrounding county. We can walk through what applies to your address when you call. The plumbing work itself is handled the same way regardless of jurisdiction, but the administrative side may involve a different process.
We are available any hour of any day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (531) 365-9289 and ask about the rate for your specific situation and timing. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, so you know what you are agreeing to before the plumber comes out.
Once a plumber has actually looked at the problem, you know exactly where you stand: what caused it, what the fix involves, and what it costs. That is the point where a plumbing call stops being stressful and starts being a scheduled job.

| Type of Job | What's Included | When to Call | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole-Home Repiping | galvanized and aging pipe replacement, copper or PVC supply line installation, staged or full-home replacement, system pressure check after completion | Older homes where recurring leaks, low pressure, or corroded galvanized pipe have made patchwork repairs impractical | Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, narrowing flow over time. A full repipe restores pressure and stops the recurring leak cycle. |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair | pressure regulator diagnosis, shutoff valve repair and replacement, main shutoff service, supply line pressure checks | Homes with noticeably low pressure throughout the house or a shutoff valve that no longer closes fully | Low pressure has several possible causes, from a partially closed valve to a worn regulator or corroded supply line, and the fix depends on which one the inspection finds. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | disposal repair, full unit replacement, installation on new or existing lines, kitchen plumbing coordination | Homeowners whose disposal has stopped working, is leaking, or needs to be replaced as part of a kitchen update | Disposal calls are handled on their own or as part of a larger kitchen plumbing visit, whichever fits the situation. |
| Sewer and Main Line Service | camera inspection of the sewer line, main line clog clearing, sewer line repair, trenchless line replacement | Buildings with multiple drains backing up, gurgling toilets, or a slow drain pattern throughout the house | We scope the line from the building out to the county connection and handle clearing, repair, or replacement of that line. |
| Leak Detection and Repair | hidden wall and ceiling leaks, slab leak detection, corroded or burst pipe repair, supply line failures | Homeowners who notice stains, musty smells, or a water bill that has climbed without explanation | Locating the source before opening anything keeps the repair focused and limits damage to finished surfaces. |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service | camera inspection for root intrusion, mechanical root cutting and clearing, pipe condition assessment, repair or trenchless replacement of affected sections | Homeowners in established Chalco neighborhoods with mature trees near the sewer line | Older clay and cast-iron lines in Chalco's established areas are particularly vulnerable. Catching root intrusion early keeps the repair manageable. |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation | leaky faucet repair, full faucet replacement, outdoor faucet and hose bib service, kitchen and bathroom fixture swaps | Anyone upgrading fixtures or dealing with a faucet that drips, runs, or no longer shuts off cleanly | We diagnose first, then either replace a worn part or swap the fixture entirely depending on what the inspection shows. |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal | clogged sinks and tubs, main line blockages, hydro jetting for stubborn buildup, emergency drain calls | Homes or buildings with slow, backed-up, or completely blocked drains | Hydro jetting clears the pipe wall rather than just punching through the clog, which helps prevent the same blockage from returning quickly. |
| Slab Leak Detection and Repair | under-slab leak location, targeted slab access, pipe repair or rerouting, pressure testing after repair | Homeowners who notice warm spots on floors, rising water bills, or moisture with no visible source | We locate the leak using diagnostic methods before opening the slab, which keeps the repair as focused as possible. |
| Toilet Repair and Installation | running or leaking toilet repair, full toilet replacement, flush mechanism and fill valve service, wax ring and flange work | Homeowners dealing with a constantly running toilet, a weak flush, or a unit that needs full replacement | A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water before the problem becomes obvious on a utility bill. |
| Emergency Plumbing | burst pipe response, active leak containment, sewer backup calls, no-hot-water emergencies | Any situation where water is spreading, a pipe has failed, or a backup is actively causing damage | We answer emergency calls at any hour, any day of the week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. |
| Water Softener Installation | water hardness assessment, unit sizing for the household, supply-side installation, walkthrough of system operation | Chalco and Sarpy County homes dealing with scale buildup, shortened appliance life, or hard water on fixtures | Hard water is common across the Omaha metro. A softener installed on the supply line addresses mineral buildup at the source before it reaches fixtures and water heaters. |
| Sump Pump Installation | pump sizing for the space, full installation and discharge line, replacement of aging units, system testing before close-out | Chalco and Sarpy County homeowners with basements that take on water during heavy spring and summer rain | Nebraska's seasonal rain load puts real pressure on basements. A properly sized pump is the practical answer for keeping a lower level dry. |
| Water Heater Repair and ReplacementMost Popular | tank and tankless diagnostics, element and thermostat repair, full unit replacement, gas line connection to the heater | Households or buildings with no hot water, inconsistent temperature, or an aging unit that is no longer keeping up | We pressure-test the system before the job is called done, so there is no question about whether the repair is holding before we leave. |
