Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhat should I do if my toilet won't flush but is not clogged?
If the toilet won’t flush and the bowl isn’t clogged, check the tank parts and water supply. Make sure the shutoff valve is fully open. Lift the lid: confirm the chain is attached and not too tight. Ensure the flapper seals and moves freely. Raise the float so the water sits about 1 inch below the overflow. Reseat the refill tube into the overflow. Clean mineral buildup on the rim or siphon jet. Cardinal serves Madison, Fitchburg, and Sun Prairie.

There isn’t a single “average” plumbing installation price because costs depend on your project’s scope. Cardinal gives upfront pricing after an on-site assessment. Price varies by fixture count, pipe material, water heater type (tank or tankless), drain/sewer or repipe complexity, and how accessible the work area is. Financing options and first-time customer savings are available. We serve homes across Madison, Fitchburg, Middleton, and nearby areas.
Quick prep for faster quotes:
- List fixtures and locations
- Share photos of the area
- Note water heater type and age
- Mention any leaks or clogs

Plumbing inspection cost in 2025 depends on your home and the inspection scope. A Cardinal technician will assess and confirm pricing on site before work begins. Factors include number of fixtures, access, urgency, and add-ons like backflow testing or a water heater check. Savings may apply: $50 off any plumbing service (standard pricing; not valid for trip/diagnostic; one-time; cannot combine; thru 2025-10-30) or $25 off for first-time plumbing customers (thru 2025-12-31). Ask about maintenance plan inspections for ongoing care.
