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 have a Shield maintenance agreement with Southport Plumbing Heading and Cooling.

The value for the plan is fantastic! They come out and help maintain your plumbing, heating and cooling systems. Jacob from the HVAC side has come out to my home and has done an excellent job of keeping me aware of what is working well, and what I may need to keep an eye on.

Justan and Nathan from the plumbing side have also come out to my house and did the regular yearly maintenance. They too, do an awesome job of keeping me updated on how the plumbing is within my house.

I also was alerted to the battery being bad for my sump pump backup system and Justan and Nathan installed a new sump pump and a new backup system as well. The timing was impeccable as we faced a power loss for around 24 hours, and the battery was fully charged and the backup sump pump worked while we didn't have power! It was better paying for the backup system than a repair bill for a flooded basement.

To round it out, the office staff, Sarah did a great job helping me coordinate not only the visits for the maintenance, but also helped facilitate the installation of the plumbing work.

They keep giving great reasons why I'm a long term Southport Plumbing, Heating & Cooling customer!

Thank you!
