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.

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!

James was the technician who listened, investigated, and gave us several options to cure the issue that were dependent upon what would fit in the price range. Most importantly, James spent the time to explain everything in detail and made sure all questions were answered. This is the second time I’ve used SouthPort. They are the right choice!!

I'm on the home maintenance program for plumbing and HVAC. I have been very happy with the service to date. There is always plenty of warning before they arrive and they do their business quickly, professionally, and efficiently. During my last visit they detected two faucet leaks which resulted in two new faucets (covered under lifetime warranty by the manufacturer).

We had a new furnace installed by Southport Home Services and had an excellent experience from start to finish. Our salesman, Adam, was very knowledgeable, personable, and easy to work with. He answered all of our questions and made the process stress-free during an already stressful time. Our furnace broke, and the very next day the installation team was at our home replacing it. The staff was professional, respectful, and did a fantastic job. Everything was left spotless and looked great when they were done. We even felt completely comfortable leaving for the day while they worked in our home, which says a lot. We truly appreciate the quick turnaround, quality work, and great customer service. Highly recommend Southport Home Services!

My experience started with a call to Southport for a second look opinion. They were highly recommended. The technician Tyler was able to find and explain the problem/s I was having with my 20 year old furnace and AC unit. He went over my options thoroughly, quickly set up a time for Justin to go over those options with necessary numbers, and the appointment was made for a new furnace and AC. The technicians Max, Diego and Aaron did a fantastic job with removal of my existing system and new installation. They treated me and my home with respect, paying great attention to detail. Max explained the process as they went along, making sure any question I had was answered. Nathan, the sales manager was even kind enough to stop and make sure I was happy with the whole process. The entire staff exceeded my expectations and were so professional, courteous and respectful, which is especially appreciated, as home repairs can be quite stressful. I highly recommend Southport.
