Home » Athens

We’ve spent plenty of time navigating the rolling landscape of Western Marathon County, and we know that Athens homes require systems as rugged as the local terrain. Whether we are heading down Highway 97 or parked near the fairgrounds during a busy community weekend, our crew is familiar with the specific infrastructure of this village. You’ve likely seen our white trucks cruising past the local parks or in the driveways of neighbors who need a hand with a stubborn boiler or a basement backup. We don’t just work here; we understand that life in “The World’s Fair Village” means preparing for heavy snow loads and the high humidity that rolls across the fields in mid-July.

If your home’s climate or water systems are acting up, invite our team over to get things back on track.

Plumbing Services

Athens residents often deal with the realities of rural water table fluctuations. Local geographic data suggests the area’s soil composition can lead to significant runoff during the spring thaw, making a reliable drainage strategy vital. We provide:

  • Heavy-duty sump pumps to ensure your basement stays dry when the snow starts to melt.
  • Professional drain cleaning and snaking to clear out years of buildup.
  • Modern water heater replacement and tankless options for a never-ending hot water supply.
  • Precise leak detection and frozen pipe repair to protect your home’s foundation.
  • Specialized water softening system installation to treat the high mineral content common in Marathon County.
  • Kitchen and utility solutions, including garbage disposal fixes and safe gas lines for your appliances.
  • Robust commercial plumbing for local agricultural and retail businesses.

Reach out to our plumbers to keep your pipes clear and your water flowing properly.

Air Conditioning

When the summer heat settles over the Athens valley, a high-efficiency cooling system is the difference between a restless night and a comfortable home. We’ve been a regular sight in neighborhoods across the village, keeping systems running when the humidity peaks.

  • Fast AC repair and maintenance for all major equipment brands.
  • Quality central AC installation designed to keep every room in your house crisp.
  • Seasonal AC maintenance to extend the lifespan of your unit and lower energy bills.
  • Specialized ductless AC service and mini split setups for homes that lack traditional ductwork.

Contact our cooling team to schedule an inspection before the next heat wave.

Heating

Winters in Athens are long and often harsh, putting immense pressure on your HVAC equipment. We specialize in ensuring your heating system is ready to face sub-zero temperatures without a hitch.

  • Emergency furnace repair and system diagnostics to restore warmth quickly.
  • Versatile heat pump technology for efficient, year-round climate control.
  • Professional boiler repair and radiant heating installation for that consistent, cozy warmth.
  • Modern thermostat installation to give you more precision over your monthly heating costs.

Don’t get caught in a cold snap. Get your heater checked by our local pros today.

Indoor Air Quality

Spending more time indoors during the Wisconsin winter means your air quality takes center stage. We help Athens families breathe easier by removing allergens and managing humidity levels.

  • Thorough duct cleaning to strip away dust and pet dander.
  • Advanced air purifiers and high-efficiency HEPA filters.
  • Balanced moisture levels with whole-house dehumidifiers and whole-house humidifiers.

I purchased my furnace from Southport and needed service when my AC went out during a storm. Andrew,my service tech was fantastic! He explained everything, got the parts the same day, and had me up and running in no time at all! At his recommendation, I also purchased a surge protector and maintenance agreement so I can rest easier during storms. Thank you Andrew!!

I was referred to Southport by a co-worker. Their staff is super friendly and informed. The sales manager Nate was reasonable to work with. You can probably save a few hundred bucks going with a smaller company with less overhead, but I think the peace of mind that comes along while working with an established company like Southport, is much more important. They got me booked for an instilation appointment within two days of signing a contract! Their technicians were polite and did the best they could at keeping my carpeted basement clear of mud, considering the first few hours they were there was during a rainstorm. Whatever mess they made they cleaned up. The installation took longer then expected (about 10 hours) but there was a lot of work to be done, and the technician thanked me for my patience. He said it's nice to be able to take their time and make sure everything is installed perfectly! All and all, I had a positive experience, and highly recommend using Southport. Friendly and fast service at fair price!

Justan was great! He explained exactly what he had to do and what it would cost for each step. When he found there was a shut off for that particular faucet he let me know and I didn’t pay to have one installed since it was already there. I appreciate the honesty and integrity! Was impressed with the service and signed up for a service plan with them that will bring in more savings for me. Thank you Justan and Southport Home Services!
