Cody's Trusted Plumber Since 1986

Your Neighbors Have Trusted Us
for Four Decades

When Stan Curtis started Wrangler Plumbing in 1986, a handshake still meant something. That hasn't changed — and neither has the way we do business.

Read our story

We show up when we say we will, we charge what we quote, and we stand behind our work. That simple, no-nonsense approach has kept families and homeowners across the Big Horn Basin calling us back for over 40 years.

We're not the cheapest plumber in Wyoming and we're not trying to be. We're the one you call when you want the job done right the first time, by licensed professionals who know your local water conditions, your soil, your climate, and the building codes that apply to your property.

We serve homeowners, property managers, ranch operators, and businesses across Park County, Big Horn County, Washakie County, and Hot Springs County. From routine drain cleaning to complex boiler installations, from 2 AM emergency burst pipe repairs to scheduled tankless water heater upgrades — Wrangler handles it all. Every technician on our team is trained, licensed, and insured. We treat your home the way we'd treat our own.

About Wrangler
Why Wrangler

Why Families in Cody Trust
Wrangler Plumbing & Heating

01

40 Years of Local Experience

Founded in Cody in 1986 by Stan Curtis. We know this land.

Learn more

We know the soil conditions that affect your sewer lines, the water hardness that corrodes your pipes, and the winter temperatures that freeze your plumbing. That knowledge only comes from decades of hands-on work in this region. We've worked on homes built in the 1920s and new construction going up this year — there isn't a plumbing or heating challenge in the Big Horn Basin we haven't handled.

02

Family-Owned, Not Corporate

No shareholders. No sales quotas. Just neighbors taking care of neighbors.

Learn more

When you call Wrangler, you're talking to people who live in your community — people you might run into at the Irma Hotel or the Park County Fair. We don't have shareholders to answer to or sales quotas to hit. We have neighbors to take care of. That's a different kind of motivation, and it shows in how we treat every job.

03

Honest Pricing, Always

You know the cost before we start. No surprises. No hidden fees.

Learn more

We'll tell you what the job costs before we start. If a repair doesn't make financial sense, we'll say so — even if it means we earn less. Our reputation is worth more than any single invoice.

04

24/7 Emergency Response

A burst pipe at midnight can't wait until Monday. We answer 24/7/365.

Learn more

A burst pipe at midnight or a dead furnace during a blizzard can't wait until Monday. We're on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and every other day in between. When you call our emergency line, a real person answers — not a recording. We carry common repair parts in our trucks so we can often resolve emergencies in a single visit.

Our Services

Plumbing, Heating & HVAC Services

Residential Plumbing

Explore
Details

Leaking pipes, running toilets, low water pressure, slow drains — we handle it all. From minor repairs to complete repiping for older Cody homes. We know the issues that hit Wyoming houses hardest — corroded galvanized pipes, mineral buildup from hard water, and frozen line damage.

Heating & HVAC

Explore
Details

Wyoming winters don't leave room for a maybe on your heating system. We install, repair, and maintain furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, radiant floor heating, and forced-air systems. We also install smart thermostats to help cut heating costs.

Water Heater Services

Explore
Details

No hot water is more than an inconvenience in a Cody winter. We install and repair tank and tankless water heaters from A.O. Smith, Heil, and Champion. Honest recommendation: repair if it makes sense, replace if it saves you money.

Drain Cleaning & Sewer

Explore
Details

A clogged drain slows your morning. A sewer backup shuts down your home. We use camera inspection equipment to see exactly what's happening — no guesswork, no unnecessary digging. Tree roots, grease, collapsed lines — we've cleared them all.

Gas Line Services

Explore
Details

Gas line work requires a licensed professional. We handle installation and repair, connect appliances like stoves, dryers, fireplaces, and outdoor grills, perform leak detection, and handle propane-to-natural-gas conversions.

24/7 Emergency

Explore
Details

Burst pipe flooding your basement? Furnace died during a cold snap? Gas smell in your kitchen? Call our emergency line any time. We carry parts for most common repairs, so we can often fix the problem in a single visit.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Explore
Details

See inside your sewer line without digging. Our high-resolution camera inspection identifies tree root intrusion, cracks, collapsed sections, and blockages — giving you a clear picture of the problem and the most cost-effective solution. We record the inspection so you can see exactly what we see.

Central Vacuum Systems

Explore
Details

Built-in central vacuum systems for new construction and existing homes. We install the piping, inlets, and power units — a permanent upgrade that increases home value, reduces allergens, and delivers stronger suction than portable vacuums. Ideal for Wyoming homes where dust and outdoor debris are a constant challenge.

Water Purification

Explore
Details

Whole-house water filtration, reverse osmosis, UV purification, and well water treatment. Combat the Big Horn Basin's mineral-rich water for cleaner, safer drinking water throughout your home.

Big Horn Basin
Plumbing Challenges

Living in Wyoming comes with plumbing challenges you won't find in most other parts of the country.

Hard water damage

Water in Park County, Big Horn County, and Washakie County carries high concentrations of calcium and magnesium. Over time, this narrows pipes, reduces water pressure, and damages water heaters. We install and service water softener systems that protect your plumbing.

Frozen & burst pipes

A seasonal reality when winter temperatures regularly drop well below zero. Pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls, and unheated garages are especially vulnerable. We've thawed and repaired thousands of frozen pipes, and we offer winterization services to prevent the problem entirely.

Aging sewer lines

Older Cody neighborhoods sometimes use clay or cast iron pipe that deteriorates over decades. Tree root intrusion is another common culprit. Our camera inspection service diagnoses the exact issue without tearing up your yard.

Water pressure problems

Mineral buildup, failing regulators, or corroded supply lines. If your home was built before the 1990s and you're noticing declining pressure, it's worth having us take a look before a small issue becomes a major repair.

Septic & well systems

Common outside Cody city limits, especially in areas like Clark, Meeteetse, and the South Fork. These systems need a plumber who understands rural water infrastructure — not just city hookups. We service well pressure tanks, install water treatment systems for iron and sulfur, and handle septic-safe plumbing configurations that protect your drain field.

Heating That Stands Up
to Wyoming Winters

Your heating system isn't a luxury in the Big Horn Basin — it's survival equipment.

View Heating Services
Learn about our heating services

When wind chill drops to minus 20, your furnace, boiler, or heat pump has to perform without hesitation. That's why homeowners throughout Cody, Powell, Lovell, Worland, and Thermopolis trust Wrangler Plumbing & Heating.

We work on every major heating system type: gas and electric furnaces, hydronic boilers, radiant floor heating, and modern cold-climate heat pumps that can provide efficient heating well below zero.

We also handle ductwork installation, repair, and cleaning. Leaking ducts can waste 20-30% of your heating energy. And annual furnace maintenance catches small problems before they become emergency breakdowns. A $150 tune-up today can prevent a $3,000 furnace replacement next winter.

Featured Service

Endless Hot Water.
Lower Bills.

Tankless water heaters heat on demand — you never run out and your energy bills drop.

Water Heater Services
Compare tank vs. tankless

Traditional tank water heaters keep 40-80 gallons hot around the clock. A tankless unit heats water on demand — only when you turn on the tap.

We install and service Navien, Burnham, and A.O. Smith tankless units — all proven performers in cold-climate applications. In Wyoming, incoming water temperatures can be near freezing during winter months. We size and install systems specifically calibrated for Big Horn Basin conditions.

Tankless water heaters typically last 15-20 years compared to 8-12 for a traditional tank. The upfront cost is higher, but the long-term savings on energy and fewer replacements make it a smart investment. We'll give you an honest comparison of both options — including total cost of ownership over 10 and 20 years.

When to call an emergency plumber

Burst pipes, frozen lines, gas leaks, sewer backups, complete heating failures — we respond day and night, weekends and holidays, across the entire Big Horn Basin. Wyoming winters create real emergencies: when it's minus 15 outside and your furnace stops, or a pipe bursts behind your bathroom wall at 3 AM, the clock is running and the damage is growing.

If you're unsure whether it's an emergency, call us anyway. We'd rather talk you through it over the phone than have you wait until morning while a slow leak becomes a flood. We serve Cody, Powell, Lovell, Greybull, and every community in between.

Gas Line Services

Gas Lines Require
Zero Margin for Error

Licensed gas line installation, repair, and leak detection for Cody and the Big Horn Basin.

Gas Line Services
Gas line services we offer

Whether you're connecting a new gas stove, hooking up a fireplace, running a line to an outdoor grill, or converting from propane to natural gas, Wrangler Plumbing & Heating has the licensing and experience to handle it safely.

Many older homes in the Big Horn Basin have gas line systems that haven't been inspected in years. Corrosion, loose fittings, and aging connectors can all lead to slow leaks. We offer gas leak detection using electronic sensing tools that can identify leaks behind walls and under floors.

If you smell gas in your home, leave immediately — don't flip light switches, don't unplug anything, don't use your phone until you're outside. Then call us at (307) 587-3713. Gas emergencies are always our top priority.

If it's under 8-10 years old with a minor issue, repair usually makes sense. Over 10 years, leaking from the tank, or needing frequent repairs — replacement is more cost-effective. Tankless water heaters last 15-20 years. Call (307) 587-3713 for an honest assessment.

Insulate pipes in unheated areas. Keep your thermostat above 55 degrees when away. Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls during cold snaps. Let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold. Disconnect garden hoses before the first freeze. We also offer professional winterization services.
