When a pipe gives out or a drain stops moving, the question is simple: who can get here and fix it right? Extreme Plumbing Company handles plumbing repair and installation across Nebraska City and Otoe County, covering everything from a leaking faucet to a full repipe. Older homes in a town this size carry decades of pipe history, and the work reflects that. Galvanized lines that have narrowed from the inside out, fixtures that have been repaired a dozen times, sewer connections that share a yard with trees old enough to cause real trouble. That is the kind of work we do here, and we do it any hour of the day, any day of the week, including weekends and holidays.
Rental properties, small businesses, multi-unit buildings, and owner-occupied homes all generate different calls, and we handle all of them. A property manager dealing with a tenant's burst pipe at midnight needs a different response than a homeowner scheduling a water heater replacement for next week. We work around both. The plumber who works on your home runs this area every week, so the response is local and the knowledge of the area is real.
Scheduling a routine visit is straightforward. Call (531) 365-9289, describe what is happening, and we confirm a time before anything is booked. The price is confirmed the same way, so you know what the job covers before anyone shows up. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, means there is nothing to figure out after the fact.
When the situation is urgent, the process is the same but the timeline moves faster. A burst pipe, a sewer backup, a water heater that has stopped producing hot water entirely: these are the calls we answer around the clock. There are no closed hours here. Same-day service is often available depending on the nature of the call, and emergency plumbing is answered any night or weekend the same as any weekday morning.
For tenants and businesses that cannot shut down, we work around the schedule. A commercial kitchen that needs to stay operational, a rental unit with a tenant in place, a household that cannot be without water for long: we scope the job with that in mind and tell you what the shutdown window looks like before work begins.
Repiping is the job that comes up when patching stops making sense. Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside out over time, and the symptoms build gradually: pressure that drops a little more each year, water that runs slightly discolored, leaks that keep appearing in different spots even after each one is repaired. At some point the pipe is the problem, not the individual fittings.
A whole-home repipe replaces the supply lines throughout the house with copper or PEX, restoring pressure and ending the cycle of recurring repairs. It is not a small job, but it is a manageable one. We stage the work to limit how long the water is off at any given time, and we walk through the plan with you before we start so you know what each day of the job involves.
Living in the house through a repipe is possible in most cases. The plumber will tell you what to expect at each stage, including which areas will be without water and for how long. The repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done, so there is no question about whether the system is ready before we leave.
Not every plumbing call is the same, and the situation that leads to one is usually different from the situation that leads to another. Here is how the work tends to divide.
A drain that backs up overnight, a pipe that splits during a cold snap, a water heater that stops heating: these calls come in without notice and need a fast diagnosis. We look at the problem first, scope what it takes to fix it, and give you a price before a wrench comes out. The job scoped and priced before anything starts means you are not guessing at the bill while the repair is underway. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of job covers.
A toilet that runs constantly, a faucet that has been dripping for months, a water heater that is past the point of repair: these are the calls where the fixture itself is the answer. Replacement work is straightforward when the scope is clear. We confirm what is going in, make sure the connections are right, and test before we leave. Work performed by licensed plumbers means the installation holds and the connections are made to the pipe, not around it.
Water softener installation, sump pump replacement, new fixture installation during a bathroom update: planned jobs are easier to schedule and easier to price because the scope is known going in. We talk through what the job involves on the call, confirm what access is needed, and set a time that works. For water softener work, we assess the supply side and handle the plumbing connections. For sump pump installation, we size the unit to the space and test the discharge line before the job is closed out.
Getting a quote takes a phone call and a description of the problem. You do not need to know exactly what is wrong. Knowing where the issue is located, what you have noticed, and roughly how long it has been happening gives us enough to tell you what the job is likely to involve and what it will cost.
If the problem is a drain, it helps to know which fixture is affected and whether others in the house are slow too. If it is a leak, knowing where the water is appearing and whether there is visible pipe damage helps narrow the scope. For water heater calls, the age of the unit and the symptoms are the most useful details.
We ask a few questions on the call, confirm the price, and schedule from there. One call, and a plumber is on the way.
A toilet that rocks, leaks at the base, or runs without stopping is usually a straightforward fix. Reseating addresses a failed wax ring or a loose floor connection. Full replacement is the answer when the porcelain itself is cracked or the internal components have worn past the point of repair. We handle both, and we confirm which one the situation calls for before the work starts.
When a sewer or supply line under the yard is damaged, digging it up is not always the only option. Trenchless repair accesses the pipe from a single point and repairs or replaces the line from the inside, which limits disruption to the yard and shortens the job considerably. We camera-inspect the line first to confirm the damage and its location, then talk through whether trenchless is the right method for the specific situation.
A disposal that hums but does not turn, grinds poorly, or leaks at the connection is usually repairable. When the motor has failed or the unit is old enough that parts are no longer the answer, replacement is the more practical call. We handle both on the same visit. Installation of a new unit includes checking the drain connection and confirming the electrical side is ready before the plumbing work begins.
Appliance hookups involve supply lines, shutoff valves, and drain connections, and getting them right matters more than it might seem. A loose supply connection behind a washing machine can run unnoticed for a long time. We handle new connections and reconnections after a move or an appliance swap, and we check the shutoff valves at the same time to make sure they close fully.
A burst pipe needs to be addressed fast. The first step is closing the nearest shutoff to stop the flow. We locate the damaged section, assess what caused the failure, and make the repair in a way that accounts for the condition of the surrounding pipe. If the burst points to a larger problem with the line, we say so before we close up the wall. We get to the bottom of the problem fast, and we do not leave until the system has been tested and is holding.

The price for a plumbing job is set by what the job actually involves. The nature of the fault, where it is located, and what has to come apart to reach it are the things that move a quote. A simple faucet repair and a slab leak repair are both plumbing calls, but they are not priced the same way, and the difference is in the scope.
We confirm the price before work begins. If the plumber opens a wall or accesses a line and finds something that changes the scope, that conversation happens before work continues. Nothing proceeds without your approval. Ask what the job covers when you call and you will get a straight answer.
We serve Nebraska City and the surrounding communities throughout Otoe County, including Percival, Dunbar, Union, Lorton, and Julian. Whether the call comes from a home in town or a property further out in the county, we handle it the same way. Rural properties, older farmhouses, and outbuildings with their own plumbing are all within scope.
No matter what's going wrong with your pipes, the coverage extends across the area. We are available any hour of any day, and the response is the same whether the call comes from town or from a property on the county's edge.
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.
Any detail you can provide before the visit is useful, and trying to describe what you are seeing is not wasted effort. Knowing that the pressure dropped suddenly versus gradually, that the discoloration appeared after a period of no use, or that the drain slows only when two fixtures run at once all help the plumber arrive with a clearer picture of where to look first. You do not need a diagnosis before you call, but the more you can describe, the better prepared we can be.
Call (531) 365-9289 right away and let us know there is a tenant involved. We treat a sewer backup as an urgent call and can often get someone out the same day. In the meantime, the tenant should avoid running water or using any drains until the line is cleared, because adding flow to a backed-up system makes the situation worse. We work around the tenant's schedule wherever the job allows.
Hard water leaves mineral deposits inside pipes, on fixture aerators, and inside water heaters over time, and older plumbing in a town like Nebraska City can be more vulnerable because the pipe has already narrowed from years of use. Scale buildup shortens the life of water heaters and reduces flow at fixtures. A water softener installed on the supply line addresses the problem before it reaches the rest of the house, and we handle the full plumbing side of that installation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Schedule it. We fix it. You're flowing.

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