Henry Joseph Pertzborn and his wife Gertrude founded H. J. Pertzborn Plumbing and Heating. After serving in World War I, Henry returned to the family farm in Cross Plains, Wisconsin and started his apprenticeship as a mason with a local contractor. His strong dislike of mortar drying on his hands made him turn to the plumbing trade.
H.J. Pertzborn is a trusted South Central Wisconsin name, known for quality professional plumbers and superior work. Count on our local expert plumbers for all of your plumbing needs. We are recognized as one of the best commercial plumbing contactors in Madison, WI. Clogged dryer vents can be costly to a home or business in several ways.
First, check the temperature or relief valve (located on the side of the water heater near the top) and the drain valve (located near the bottom of the unit). If your water is leaking from one of those valves, then we can replace it and get you right back to hot water. If water is leaking from the tank itself, then you will need a new water heater.
At H.J. Pertzborn Plumbing & Fire Protection, we provide a wide range of residential plumbing services. Whether you have to fix a leaky faucet or have a malfunctioning water heater, let our professional and experienced plumbers fix them for you! See our complete list of residential plumbing repair services and more.
Being left out in the cold is never fun. And, although it may be tempting to fix your unit by yourself, a water heater repair or water heater replacement is a job to be left to the professionals. Let our professional team at H.J. Pertzborn Plumbing and Fire Protection handle the repair and replacement of your water heater.

I had an ongoing leak from a valve I had just turned off. I called Pertzborn and requested help. They had Ryan at my door in about 20 minutes. I have used them for years, but I’m constantly impressed with how quickly they respond to urgent situations. I will continue to be their loyal customer.

We worked with Pertzborn for a fairly large project in our single family home, involving removal of existing cast iron sewer pipes under our basement slab in our older house and doing a bathroom relocation/rough-in. Bruce and his team was clear with communications, thoughtful and very skilled. We were pleased with the process from estimate through job completion and look forward to working with them again in the future.

We had a leaky pipe in the basement of our almost 100 year old home. Pertzborn scheduled a time, and sent a great guy out to fix our leak. Unfortunately our older home is never easy to work with, and this time was no exception. They sent out someone to fix the secondary issue, and Bruce was fantastic. He was professional, kind, and even went above and beyond to keep the noisy machine in a closed off room so as not to scare our 14 month old baby. Bruce also fixed a pesky screw on our front door on his way out, because he is awesome. I will use Pertzborn again, and I highly recommend this gem of

Great and skilled technicians. I had two different service providers in to try to fix a problem with my on demand water heater with no results.. I reached out to Pertzborn and the technician they sent noticed the problems right away that no one else had seen. He immediately fixed my leaking and identified a solution for intermittent hot water, which involved my gas line. They have since completed all repairs and I am very happy with their work I also had them fix an outdoor faucet. The technicians are on time, friendly and very skilled and I am happy to have them in my home. II also appreciate
