Looking for a Plumber Near You in Vienna?
When there is water on the floor, no hot water or a drain that will not clear, proximity matters. Schild & Schauer is a local plumbing and heating company based in Vienna, with service available across every district of the city.
Calls go to a local team who can understand the issue, the location and whether the situation needs immediate attention. The work includes leaking pipes, blocked drains, boiler problems, heating failures and other plumbing emergencies in homes and apartments.
For a tenant, owner or property manager, the useful first information is usually simple: where the water is coming from, whether it can be isolated, which room or appliance is affected and whether heating or hot water has stopped altogether. It is a practical starting point that helps separate an urgent water issue from a repair that can be scheduled.

What Our Customers Say
Selected Google reviews shared by customers. The German reviews below are presented in English translation for this page.
Our boiler failed at exactly the wrong time, so we were relieved to get an appointment quickly. When the boiler was replaced, some old pipework also needed partial renewal. The work was very clean and conscientious, and every step was explained and shown to us. The team made an exceptional effort to restore hot water and heating as soon as possible.
I had a small emergency on a Saturday and received notably competent, prompt and fair help. Thank you.
Marko immediately responded to my enquiry, fixed the problem and explained it to me. He also gave me tips for future maintenance.

Practical Guidance
A Practical Way to Describe a Plumbing Problem
You do not need to diagnose a fault before calling a plumber in Vienna. A few clear observations are enough to help identify whether it is an urgent leak, a drainage issue, a boiler fault or work that can be planned. The aim is not to use technical language; it is simply to explain what you can see, hear or no longer use.
For an emergency call, keep the address, district and a call-back number nearby. Explain if there is active water, whether the water supply has been turned off and whether anyone is at risk. For a boiler or heating issue, mention whether the home is without heating, hot water or both. If you live in an apartment building, it can also help to say whether the issue appears confined to your home or may be affecting a shared installation. These points do not establish a diagnosis, but they provide useful context before the technician arrives and reduce avoidable uncertainty during a stressful situation.
For urgent plumbing work, direct telephone contact is the clearest route. For non-urgent work, a concise enquiry with the relevant details makes the next step easier to arrange.
When water is leaking
Start with the location. Is water coming from a pipe, a radiator, below the boiler, a tap, the toilet or an appliance connection? Note whether it is a constant flow, an occasional drip or water that only appears when something is being used. If a valve is accessible and you know it is safe to close, this may limit further water damage. Do not dismantle fittings or covers to find the cause. A visible symptom is often more useful than a guess about the part that has failed.
When a drain is blocked
Say which fixture is affected and how the water behaves. A sink that drains slowly is different from a toilet that rises, a shower that backs up or several fixtures affected at once. It is also useful to mention whether the blockage appeared suddenly, after a particular use or has gradually become worse. Avoid repeatedly using harsh drain chemicals; they can complicate the work and may be hazardous when a technician needs to inspect the pipework.
When heating or hot water stops
For a boiler problem, note the appliance display if there is an error code, whether the boiler is leaking, whether the radiators still heat and whether hot water has stopped completely or only becomes intermittent. A boiler may provide both room heating and hot water, so these details can point to different areas of the system. If there is a strong smell of gas, do not investigate the appliance. Leave the affected area and contact the official gas emergency service first.
When the work is not an emergency
Planned work is easier to arrange when the scope is described in advance. This could include a tap that needs replacing, a washing-machine connection, a radiator that should be checked or boiler maintenance before the heating season. Photos can be useful for an enquiry if they clearly show the appliance, fitting or connection, but they do not replace an on-site assessment. The technician can then explain what can be repaired, what needs a replacement part and what is sensible for the installation.
The clearer the situation is described, the easier it is to decide what help is needed.
