Brenneco incorporated in February 1987. Since then the work has been the same: plumbing and mechanical services for residential, commercial and industrial customers in Tippecanoe County and the counties around it.
There is a particular kind of knowledge that only comes from working the same geography for decades. What the water does here. Which neighborhoods have clay laterals and which have cast iron. How groundwater temperature swings between February and August, and what that means when sizing a tankless unit. Which problems in this county are common and which are genuinely unusual.
Brenneco has been accumulating that since February 1987. It is the reason a technician can often narrow down what is happening from a description on the phone, and arrive with the right parts rather than the likely ones.
All Brenneco technicians are trained and licensed. That matters most on the calls where the diagnosis is happening fast and in poor conditions, because that is where the difference shows between a stopgap that holds until morning and a repair that is actually finished.
It shows up in the reviews too. Customers name the same people repeatedly, which is what happens when the same crew keeps showing up rather than whoever was available.

Plenty of plumbing companies pick one lane. Brenneco describes its work as plumbing and mechanical services for commercial and residential customers, and industrial facilities are part of the normal mix. That breadth is useful in both directions. Commercial work builds habits about uptime and scheduling that benefit homeowners, and residential volume keeps the crew fluent in the fixture level work that a purely industrial contractor loses touch with.
The service lanes run from emergency calls and water heaters through drains, sewer cleanout, water treatment, softeners and filtration, commercial and industrial systems, and the plumbing side of light remodels.
Because it is the single most useful thing to know about a plumber, and because the calls it covers are the ones where the difference between a fast answer and a slow one is measured in flooring and drywall rather than in labor hours.
A water heater that fails at nine on a Saturday night does not care that it is the weekend. Neither does a sewer line backing up into a finished basement. Brenneco answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and that is a deliberate decision about what kind of plumbing company this is.
Very happy with the service Brenneco provided to review the cleanout of a sewer line in West Lafayette, and to provide recommendations for a solution. The technician who we met, Mike, was very friendly, knowledgeable of what he was seeing, and thorough in his recommended solution. Very prompt, showed up a few minutes before the scheduled appointment.
Max and Mike removed my old water heater and installed a new tankless water heater. They did a good job and were friendly and professional.
Our experience with Brenneco began when they were recommended to us by a heating and cooling company in Lafayette that we have been doing business with for over twelve years. When I called to discuss the work we needed to be done, Becky was very helpful and gave us more confidence in our decision to use Brenneco.
Send it through and it comes straight to the Brenneco team. If it is an emergency, calling is faster, and the line is answered any hour of any day.
