Ryan Kohlhoff

R Plumbing Inc

At the center of R Plumbing is Ryan Kohlhoff, an owner and Certified Master Plumber who brings over 20 years of trade experience to homeowners and businesses throughout Watertown and surrounding Wisconsin communities. Born and raised in Watertown, Ryan has lived in the area for 35 years and founded R Plumbing in 2017 to deliver a higher standard of technical skill and personal service to his hometown. Driven by a genuine desire to help people, Ryan specialized in the trade's most challenging diagnostic work—excelling at troubleshooting complex, high-difficulty plumbing issues that other contractors fail to resolve.

Ryan’s technical background is built on formal trade education and rigorous certification. A graduate of Watertown High School, he earned his technical degree from Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) and completed a comprehensive apprenticeship through Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). Today, as a licensed Master Plumber holding advanced certifications in Medical Gas systems and AZ Gas line installation, Ryan handles everything from complex residential pipe diagnostics and gas line retrofits to commercial plumbing overhauls with precision and structural care.

Over 20 Years of Trade Passion, Family Heritage, and Local Loyalty

Ryan’s dedication to the plumbing industry is rooted in a deep love for the trade and a long family heritage of community service. Ryan comes from a three-generation family legacy of local tradesmen: his father ran a local auto repair business in Watertown for 46 years, and his grandfather operated his own shop for nearly 50 years. For Ryan, the most rewarding part of serving local customers is hearing fond stories about his father and grandfather from long-time community members—a legacy of hard work and honest service he proudly carries forward at R Plumbing.

What separates R Plumbing from other local competitors is an unyielding commitment to striving for excellence on every single job site. Supported by his wife, Kaitlyn, and raising their two daughters, Kylie and Avery, Ryan’s family values directly shape his business philosophy. He treats every customer's home with the safety, respect, and meticulous attention to detail he would demand for his own family, ensuring every repair or installation provides lasting reliability and total peace of mind.

Serving Watertown with Three Generations of Local Trade Values

Ryan’s deep roots in Watertown, paired with two decades of trade mastery and advanced Master Plumber credentials, reflect his commitment to the local community. His diagnostic problem-solving abilities and dedication to customer safety make R Plumbing the premier choice for complex plumbing solutions in the region.
