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.

Breathe cleaner air by asking our specialists about our filtration and humidity solutions.

I have had two service calls now from Southport. Both times the servicemen were prompt and knowledgeable. Last evening I had called because I had a backup with my basement drain. I thought I could wait until Monday but when it backed up again, Thursday night, I called and they rescheduled me for an early morning appointment. Blake arrived and kept me informed of everything he was doing and what he was finding. He made sure to speak with his superior Throughout his time here.Even though it appears the drain was clear they stayed and made sure that I had no issues with the basement drain. Anytime I have had any questions or concerns the owner, Jackson has always addressed them
Promptly and assures, his customers are satisfied! I have been very happy with Southport

After our home inspection flagged some plumbing issues, I contacted Southport Plumbing. From the very first phone call through the quote and final completion of the work, everything was handled professionally and smoothly.
Their customer service was fantastic — friendly, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. The plumber (Joe) who came out kept me fully informed throughout the process, which I really appreciated. There were no surprises or hidden costs; the final price matched the quote exactly.
They also left the worksite clean and tidy when they finished. Overall, a reliable, transparent, and high-quality service. I would definitely recommend Southport Plumbing and would use them again without hesitation

Southport Home Services is a great company and a great choice to take care of your HVAC needs. Although we have dealt with a couple of the other local service companies, we were lucky to come across Southport when we were ready to replace our furnace and AC. They made good, solid, recommendations, suggested going with a heat pump, and did NOT try to upsell us on more than we needed.

Jackson Barrow and the installation team were fantastic to work with; knowledgeable, patient, willing to explain and educate as they did their work. They fixed some issues with the previous system's infrastructure and made sure we were well taken care of. When we had a minor issue (no fault of Southport) Jackson and team came back out prompltly and took care of it, despite our request being a bit of extra work for them.

I really can't recommend them highly enough!

We had an excellent experience with Caleb. He was professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood what was going on, and what our options were.

What really stood out was Caleb’s attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work. He was friendly, respectful of our home, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. It’s refreshing to work with someone who generally cares about doing the job right and providing great customer service.

We couldn’t have been happier with the service Caleb provided, and would absolutely recommend him and Southport, plumbing, heating and cooling. Thank you, Caleb, for the outstanding service!
