Some plumbing calls get planned. A bathroom renovation, a water heater that has been on the list for a while, a fixture swap before a tenant moves in. Others start at six in the morning with water on the floor and a shutoff valve that will not close. Extreme Plumbing Company handles both, and the process is the same either way: scope the job, confirm the price, and get it done. Work is performed by licensed plumbers who handle the call through to completion, whether it was scheduled a week out or came in overnight.
Fremont is a city with a housing stock that ranges from older homes built on original pipework to newer construction with its own set of plumbing demands. Rental properties, small businesses, and owner-occupied homes each generate different kinds of calls, and we cover all of them across Dodge County. Whatever the situation, the first step is a phone call.
Plumbing calls in a city this size do not follow a single pattern. An older home with galvanized supply lines presents a different set of problems than a commercial kitchen with a blocked floor drain or a newer property where a sump pump has stopped keeping up with spring rain. What each job has in common is that it starts with figuring out what is actually going on before any work begins.
The most common calls are the ones where something has stopped working and the cause is not obvious. A drain that backs up repeatedly, a water heater that runs cold, a pressure drop across the whole house. These are the calls that need a diagnosis before they need a repair. We locate the source, explain what we found, and confirm the scope before anything is opened up. The repair pressure-tested before the job is called done.
Some jobs reach the point where a repair is the wrong answer. Pipe that has corroded through in one place will fail somewhere else. A water heater that has been repaired twice in three years is telling you something. When replacement makes more sense than another patch, we scope the full job, give you a clear price, and handle it. That applies to fixtures, water heaters, supply lines, and full repiping when the situation calls for it.
Installation work that is scheduled in advance, whether it is a new fixture, a water softener, or a sump pump going in before the wet season, runs differently from an emergency call. We confirm the scope ahead of time, coordinate around whatever else is happening at the property, and arrive ready to complete the job in a single visit where the job allows it. For the full breakdown of what we handle, the service page carries the complete list.
No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what the job costs before anything is scheduled. When you call, you describe the situation and we give you a rate based on what the job involves. What moves a quote is what the fault turns out to be once a plumber is on site, and what has to come apart to reach it. A slow drain that clears with a snake is a different job than one where the camera shows a root intrusion twenty feet into the main line.
If the scope changes once work is underway, that conversation happens before anything proceeds. You are told what is there, what it means for the repair, and what the updated cost looks like. Nothing moves forward without your approval. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer.
Bathroom and kitchen renovations need plumbing in before the tile goes down and the cabinets go in. Coming in at the right point in the sequence matters, because moving a drain line or repositioning a supply is a different job before the walls are closed than after. We work around the other trades on a job, confirm the rough-in dimensions that the fixtures will need, and stay available for the follow-up visit when the finished fixtures are ready to go in.
For a property manager turning over a unit, or a homeowner adding a bathroom to an addition, the process is the same. We get to the bottom of the problem fast, whether that is a layout question or a supply line that needs to be extended to reach the new location. Call ahead of the project start and we can talk through what the plumbing side of the job will involve.
When a water heater stops performing, the cause matters before the fix does. A unit that runs lukewarm and quits is a different problem than one that leaks from the base, and a tankless unit that has lost pressure at the tap is different again. We diagnose the unit first, then weigh whether the repair makes sense against the age and condition of the heater. A minor component failure on a unit that still has useful life is worth fixing. A unit that has been repaired before and is showing new symptoms is worth replacing.
Properties that have been extended sometimes have a water heater that was sized for the original footprint. When demand has grown past what the unit was built for, the answer is not always a repair. We assess the household's actual hot water load and recommend a unit that fits it, whether that is a larger tank or a switch to a tankless system. One call, and a plumber is on the way.
Plumbing emergencies in Fremont are answered any hour of any day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. There are no closed hours. A burst pipe, an active sewer backup, a water heater that has failed completely: these do not keep until Monday morning, and we do not ask them to.
For businesses and rental properties that have to stay operational, we work around the people on site. A restaurant that needs a floor drain cleared before the lunch service, a multi-unit building where one unit's main line has backed up into another: these are calls where timing matters as much as the repair itself. We confirm the appointment window when you call, and a plumber is on the way.
Quick to arrive. Careful with your home. Clean when we leave.
Older housing stock, mature trees, and regional water hardness shape the kinds of plumbing problems that show up in Dodge County. These are the job types we handle regularly, and what each one actually involves.
A leak that is not visible is often the one that causes the most damage before it is found. Water stains, a soft spot in flooring, or a water bill that has climbed without explanation are the usual signs. We locate the source using diagnostic methods that limit how much has to be opened up before we know where the problem is. Slab leak detection is part of what we do for properties built on concrete.
A drain that clears and then blocks again within a few weeks is not a drain problem. It is a pipe problem. The blockage is a symptom of buildup, a partial root intrusion, or a section of pipe that has deformed or corroded enough to collect debris. Hydro jetting clears the pipe wall rather than just punching through the clog, and a camera inspection shows whether the line needs more than cleaning.
When multiple drains in a property back up at the same time, or a toilet gurgles when a sink drains, the main sewer line is the likely cause. We camera the line to locate the blockage, clear it, and assess the condition of the pipe while we have a view inside. Trenchless repair is an option where the line is damaged but excavation is not the right call.
Both materials fail in predictable ways. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, narrowing the bore and eventually failing at joints. Polybutylene becomes brittle over time and cracks under pressure. When either material is present in a Fremont home, the question is not whether it will need attention but when. We assess the condition of the line and replace the affected sections or the full run, depending on what the inspection shows.
When the supply lines throughout a property are at the end of their useful life, a full repipe is the repair that ends the cycle of recurring leaks and pressure problems. We work through the property in stages where the situation allows it, minimizing how long the water is off at any point. The job is scoped before it starts, and the price is confirmed before a wrench comes out.
A pipe that has frozen and not yet burst needs to be thawed carefully to avoid cracking the pipe wall under the pressure of expanding ice. We locate the frozen section, thaw it in a controlled way, and inspect the surrounding pipe for any stress damage before the water is turned back on. Where a pipe has already split, we repair the damaged section and assess whether the run needs insulation or rerouting to reduce the risk of a repeat.

We cover Fremont and the surrounding communities throughout Dodge County, including Inglewood, Nickerson, Arlington, Cedar Bluffs, and Ames. Whether the call comes from inside the city or from a property in one of the smaller communities nearby, the response is the same. The plumber who works on your home runs this area every week.
Schedule it. We fix it. You're flowing.
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.
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.
Older homes in Fremont often have galvanized supply lines or cast-iron drain lines that have been in place for decades. These materials wear in predictable ways: galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside and restricts flow, while older drain lines develop cracks and joints that invite root intrusion. A plumber can assess what material is present and tell you what condition it is in before a problem forces the call.
Yes. We serve Fremont and the surrounding area throughout Dodge County, including Arlington, Cedar Bluffs, Nickerson, Inglewood, and Ames. The same availability and the same process apply regardless of which community the property is in. Call (531) 365-9289 and describe the job, and we will confirm coverage and get a plumber scheduled.
It can. If the blockage is in a branch line, running water through other fixtures on the same line can back the water up further. If the blockage is in the main sewer line, running any drain in the house adds to the pressure behind the clog. As a general rule, limit water use in the affected area until the blockage is cleared, and call (531) 365-9289 so we can assess how urgent the situation is.
The lead time depends on the size of the property and the scope of the work. A whole-home repipe is a multi-day project that benefits from scheduling a few days out so materials and access can be coordinated. Smaller planned installations can often be scheduled sooner. Call (531) 365-9289 with the details of your project and we can give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation.
Call (531) 365-9289 if you know in advance that access will be an issue, and we can work through the options for your situation. Some jobs can proceed if another adult is present and has access to the affected area. Others require the property owner or manager to be available, particularly when decisions about scope or cost may come up during the visit.
Close the shutoff valve nearest to the source. For a toilet, that valve is usually at the base of the unit. For a sink, it is under the cabinet. If you cannot find or close a fixture valve, close the main shutoff for the house. Once the water is stopped or slowed, call (531) 365-9289 and describe what happened so a plumber can come prepared.
In most cases, a repair uses materials that are compatible with the existing system, which may or may not match the original material. Mixing pipe materials is sometimes appropriate and sometimes not, depending on what is already in the system and what the repair involves. The plumber will explain what is being used and why before the repair is made so you understand what is going in.
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.

| 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 city 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 Fremont neighborhoods with mature trees near the sewer line | Older clay and cast-iron lines in Fremont'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 | Fremont and Dodge 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 | Fremont and Dodge 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. |
