Radius Works was founded by Anthony Schaeve, a Master Plumber and engineer with degrees in both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. The name Radius Works is a nod to the precision and planning that goes into every pipe radius — and every job we take on.
Before starting Radius Works, Anthony spent over a decade mastering the plumbing trade, combining technical know-how with hands-on experience in the field. He also holds a certificate in environmental sustainability — reinforcing our commitment to smart, responsible plumbing solutions that last.
We’re proud to serve the greater Milwaukee area with a full range of residential, commercial, and specialty plumbing services — including plumbing solutions for restaurants, bars, and small businesses.
At Radius Works, we’ve built a team of top-tier plumbers, each with 15–20 years of experience and a deep respect for their craft. We don’t cut corners. We don’t upsell. We show up, do the job right, and stand behind our work. Our customers know they can count on clear communication, honest assessments, and quality results.
Whether you’re a homeowner, a small business owner, or a commercial property manager — you deserve plumbing done with integrity, care, and craftsmanship. That’s what we’re here for.
At Radius Works, plumbing is more than a trade—it’s a craft rooted in precision, passion, and purpose.
Founded in 2019 by Tony Urso, Radius Works began as a side project under the name Urso Industries—a nod to Tony’s Portuguese heritage and the bear-like determination he brings to every job. What started small has grown into a tight-knit, high-powered team of master plumbers and tradespeople, each with 15 to 30 years of experience.
Tony’s journey into plumbing wasn’t a straight line. After the 2008 construction collapse shook the trades industry, he pivoted, earning a Mechanical Engineering degree with a minor in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, along with a Bachelor of Arts in Sustainable Development. From designing tankless water heaters to installing them, Tony has worked every angle of the industry—and he’s assembled a team that shares his meticulous standards and pride in their craft.
Our team has tackled everything from converting a machine shop in Bay View into a unique living space to helping restore and preserve Milwaukee’s iconic architecture. We believe in the age-old plumbing motto: “We protect the health of the nation.” To us, that means doing the job right—every time—and making sure the systems we build and maintain serve families and communities safely and sustainably for years to come.
What sets us apart? A blend of technical expertise, deep respect for the trade, and a relentless drive for quality. Tony’s background in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and engineering fuels our problem-solving approach, and our work speaks for itself.
At Radius Works, we don’t just fix problems—we build solutions. We’re proud to serve Milwaukee with integrity, skill, and a passion for doing things the right way.
Susan Abraham2025-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan was working on a water issue and smelled gas in the basement. After a call to we energies it was determined that not only was there a leak in the system of the new furnace that was installed (by a different company) there were 6 leaks throughout the gas pipes of my 81year old house. Ryan was back within a few days gave me an estimate and within the week Anthony and Ryan were here to fix the problem. The two of them knocked it out in a day. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this team. Efficient, prompt, knowledgeable, cleaned up beautifully after themselves, and SO reasonable. My house is safe again, thank you so very much. Oh and the new rerouted outside water faucet is a dream. Amit Agarwal2024-10-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my water heater replaced. I found Tony and his team to be very courteous , punctual, and highly meticulous. I wish I had found someone so reliable sooner. Jen Harter2024-08-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service! Radius Works plumbers are helpful, knowledgeable, on-time and efficient. They fixed a small list of things in my bathroom in less than two hours for a reasonable price. Mark Nelson2024-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Tony requesting him to do plumbing work on my new home i just bought. I was having an issue because I needed to have permits pulled for some shoddy work by the previous owners. He not only took care of my plumbing issues but also gave me great expertise and guidance on the rest of the unit. Would highly recommend them
