Gretna is a town that has grown quickly, and the housing stock reflects it. Newer construction sits alongside homes that were built a decade or two earlier, and both come with their own plumbing patterns. Newer homes tend to need fixture work, water line connections, and water heater service as systems reach the end of their first cycle. Older builds bring corroded supply lines, aging shutoff valves, and drains that have been quietly narrowing for years. Extreme Plumbing Company handles both ends of that range, and everything in between, for homeowners and property managers across Gretna and the surrounding area.
Commercial properties in town have different demands. A business that cannot close for the afternoon needs a plumber who understands that, scopes the work quickly, and gets in and out without disrupting operations. We handle those calls the same way we handle a residential job: the price is confirmed before anything starts, work is performed by licensed plumbers, and the repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done. Call (531) 365-9289 to get a quote and get a plumber on the way.
Bathroom and kitchen renovations in Gretna tend to move fast once they get started. Tile setters, cabinet installers, and electricians all have their own schedules, and plumbing that runs behind holds everyone else up. Getting us involved early in the process means the rough-in work is done before the walls close, the fixture connections are ready when the finishes go in, and nobody is waiting on a drain that was not positioned correctly the first time.
We fit around the other trades on a job rather than dictating to them. If you are planning a new bathroom, adding a laundry hookup, or reconfiguring a kitchen, the time to call is before the demo starts, not after. We get to the bottom of the problem fast, and that applies to layout questions just as much as it does to leaks. One call, and a plumber is on the way.
Not every plumbing problem looks the same from the outside, and not every visit follows the same path. The situation that leads to the call is usually a better guide to what is involved than the symptom alone.
A pipe that starts leaking, a drain that backs up overnight, a water heater that quits on a cold morning: these are the calls that cannot wait for a convenient slot. We answer emergency calls any hour of any day, including weekends and holidays. The plumber assesses the situation on arrival, scopes the repair, and confirms the price before work begins. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you are not guessing while the problem is still getting worse.
Low water pressure across the whole house, a drain that has been slow for months, a faucet that drips no matter how hard you turn it: these point to gradual deterioration rather than a sudden failure. Diagnosing the cause matters more than patching the symptom, because the same problem will come back if the underlying issue is not addressed. We look at what the system is actually doing before recommending a repair path. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of job involves.
Sometimes the right call is not a repair at all. A water heater that is approaching the end of its useful life, a shutoff valve that is stiff and unreliable, or a fixture that has been patched one too many times: planned replacement on your schedule is almost always less disruptive than an emergency replacement forced by a failure. We scope the job, confirm the price, and work around the timeline that suits you.
Slab leak detection and hidden pipe leaks share the same problem: the place where water appears is rarely the place where water is entering. A wet patch on a ceiling can trace back to a supply line connection two floors up. Staining on a wall can come from a pipe running horizontally inside it, well away from where the visible damage sits.
We locate the source before opening anything up. For leaks under concrete, that means diagnostic work that pinpoints the line and the failure point without pulling up flooring across the whole room. For leaks inside walls, the same principle applies: find it first, then open only what needs to be opened. The repair is then carried out at the source, not at the symptom. We take pride in the plumbing work we leave behind, and that includes not leaving a wall torn apart when a smaller access point was all that was needed.
A refrigerator water line is a small job that causes a disproportionate amount of damage when it fails. The connection to the supply, the line running to the unit, and the shutoff valve that controls it all need to be right. We handle new installations and replacements, and we confirm the connection is holding before we leave.
No hot water is one of the more disruptive failures a household can face. We diagnose the cause first, because not every water heater that stops performing needs to be replaced. A failed heating element, a thermostat issue, or sediment buildup can sometimes be corrected without swapping the unit. When replacement is the right call, we handle tank and tankless units, gas and electric, and take care of the supply line connections as part of the job.
A new shower or bath installation involves more than connecting a fixture to an existing drain. Supply lines need to be sized and positioned correctly, the drain needs to slope properly, and the valve needs to be set before the surround goes in. Getting the plumbing right at the rough-in stage prevents problems that are expensive to fix once tile is down.
A shower that runs cold, fluctuates in temperature, or drips after it is turned off usually points to the valve or the cartridge inside it. These are repairable in most cases, and a replacement cartridge restores the valve to full function without replacing the whole fitting. We assess the valve on arrival and tell you what the repair involves before any work starts.
A faucet that drips adds up on a water bill faster than it seems, and a faucet that has seized and will not turn is a different kind of problem. Older fittings corrode internally, and what looks like a simple repair can involve a cartridge replacement, a seat repair, or a full fixture swap if the body of the fitting has deteriorated. We look at what is there and give you a straight answer on what the fix involves.
The price for a plumbing job depends on what the fault actually is and what has to come apart to reach it. A drain cleaning that clears with a snake is a different scope from one that needs hydro jetting to clear years of buildup from the pipe wall. A leak repair that is accessible behind a panel is a different scope from one that requires cutting into drywall or lifting a section of flooring.
When you call, describe what you are seeing and we will give you a rate for the work based on that description. If the plumber opens the wall or accesses the line and finds something that changes the scope, that conversation happens before work continues. You are told what is there, what it means for the repair, and what the updated cost is. Nothing proceeds without your approval. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer.
Most of the practical detail is on the drain and pipe page.
Same-day service is often available for plumbing calls in Gretna, and emergency calls are answered any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays. There are no closed hours and no calls that fall outside our window. The plumber who works on your home runs this area every week.
For planned jobs, we work around the schedule that suits you, whether that means working around a tenant who needs to stay in the unit or a business that cannot shut down a kitchen or restroom for the day. You get a call before the visit to confirm the appointment window, and the plumber arrives ready to work. Quick to arrive. Careful with your home. Clean when we leave.
We cover Gretna and the surrounding communities throughout Sarpy County, including Springfield, Chalco, Papillion, Richfield, and Melia. Whether the call comes from a newer home in Gretna or a property in one of the neighboring towns, the response is the same: a plumber who knows the area handles the job.
Sarpy County covers a range of property types, and we work across all of them. Residential homes, rental properties, small commercial buildings, and mixed-use premises are all within our range. Coverage is not limited to Gretna itself, and a call from anywhere in the area reaches the same crew. Schedule it. We fix it. You're flowing.
Some repairs benefit from a follow-up check, particularly where a slow leak was present for a long time and the surrounding material may have been affected. The plumber will let you know at the end of the visit whether there is anything worth monitoring or re-checking. If a problem recurs after the work is done, call (531) 365-9289 and we will assess what is happening.
Describing the symptoms before booking is genuinely useful. Knowing whether you have low pressure throughout the house, a single slow drain, discolored water, or an active leak helps us understand what tools and parts to bring, and in some cases it helps narrow down the likely cause before anyone arrives. The more detail you give on the call, the more prepared the plumber will be.
Newer construction tends to surface fixture-level issues first: water heater performance as the unit ages past its initial years, supply line connections that were not fully seated during the original build, and shutoff valves that have never been exercised and seize when they are finally needed. Water pressure diagnostics are also a common call, because pressure regulators can drift out of range without any obvious trigger. A plumber can assess the system and tell you whether the issue is at the fixture, the line, or the regulator.
Often yes, depending on what the jobs involve and how much time the combined work requires. Grouping a faucet replacement, a running toilet, and a shutoff valve swap into one visit is a practical way to handle deferred maintenance without scheduling multiple calls. When you call, describe all the items you want addressed and we can let you know whether they fit within a single visit or whether a longer appointment makes more sense.
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.
Call (531) 365-9289 and describe your location and the situation. We cover the area we cover, and the best way to find out whether your address falls within range for an urgent call is to ask directly. We will give you a straight answer rather than a guess.
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 earlier the better. Rough-in work needs to happen before walls are closed and before tile or flooring goes down, and the drain and supply positions need to be set before the framing is finished. Calling us at the planning stage rather than after demo has started means the plumbing fits the layout you want rather than the layout the existing pipe happens to allow. We work around the other trades on the job and confirm the scope and price before anything is scheduled.
If the scope of the work turns out to be larger than the initial assessment indicated, the plumber will let you know before the first day ends. A plan for completing the remaining work is confirmed, including timing and any adjustment to the cost, before the job continues. You are not left with an open project without knowing what comes next.
Some plumbing problems announce themselves loudly. Others sit quietly behind a wall or under a floor, doing damage that compounds every week the call does not happen. If something has been on your list for a while, whether it is a slow drain, a pressure issue, a faucet that has been dripping since last winter, or a water heater that is running out faster than it used to, now is the right time to get it looked at.

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