Real Drain Cleaning Work in Brookfield Homes


Richard B. called because his basement utility sink was clogged and had overflowed. We found the 4-inch underfloor drain line was plugged and the existing clean out wasn’t usable for clearing it. We cut out a section of the old cast iron pipe, installed a new 4-inch PVC clean out and laundry drain connection, then ran the main line machine and hit the blockage at about 8 feet. The drain was tested and flowing great before we left.
Allison R. called because several bathroom drains were running slowly and a couple of fixtures needed attention. We cleared hair clogs from two bathroom sinks, replaced the pop-up stopper in one bathroom, and installed a new slip tub spout in the other bathroom where the diverter lever wasn’t operating properly. Everything was installed and working smoothly before we left.
Jake S. called because his bathroom sink had been draining slowly since a new vanity was installed. We found the drain had been fitted with an accordion-style tailpiece that was holding buildup and restricting flow. We repiped the drain with new Schedule 40 PVC, a new p-trap, and a new tailpiece. After testing, the drain was still backing up, so we augered the line and cleared the blockage. Everything was tested with no leaks and no further backups before we left.

“Keegan was polite, personable & knowledgeable. We had a back up in our floor drain in the basement. My husband used a plunger to see if he could get the water to recede, which it did eventually. But, we wanted to make sure there wasn’t another further issue, so we called Austin. Keegan took pictures & video & did a thorough job diagnosing any problems. Keegan also gave us information to keep our drains running smoothly. We are very appreciative of his help & expertise!”

“They do a great job of communicating when the technician is on the way along with a tracking app so you know when to expect him. Carson C. was our tech today and he was awesome. We have a club membership so this was.an annual plumbing inspection. They check everything, drain the water heater, check the pressure tank, and check all sinks, tubs, and toilets. Well worth it for $10 a month. Carson kept me informed on everything he was doing the whole time. We even got to talk about motorcycles!”

“Don B. was friendly and very efficient. He explained everything and completed the work quickly. My bathroom sink was clogged and was made worse by a crystal “supposed drain cleaner”. Don removed the cement-like plug caused by the drain cleaner and cleared the drain completely. He cleaned up the area and left no trace of the mess he had to deal with. I highly recommend Austin for any plumbing problem. P.S. – I love your commercials!”

Common Questions Brookfield & Elm Grove Homeowners Have About Drain Cleaning

Who should I call for drain cleaning in Brookfield?
Austin’s worked on drains and sewer lines out of the Norton Drive shop since 1939, in a city where a lot of homes still have original clay or cast iron sewer piping. You get a licensed tradesperson, camera inspections when needed, upfront pricing, and advice that isn’t driven by commission.
Is a slow drain a big deal, or can it wait?
It depends on the pattern. A single slow fixture is usually local and can often wait a bit. Several drains slowing down or backing up around the same time points to the main line, and that’s worth looking at before it turns into a backup in the basement.
Do I need a camera inspection, or will a snake take care of it?
Sometimes a snake clears it completely and that’s the end of it. But if a clog keeps coming back, or several drains are affected, a camera inspection is the only way to actually see what’s going on underground, roots, an offset joint, or a break, instead of guessing and re-clearing the same spot every few months.
What does drain cleaning cost in Brookfield?
You’ll get the price upfront before anything starts. Because Austin’s techs aren’t on commission, there’s no incentive to push a full sewer replacement when a cleaning or a smaller repair will do.
Are Brookfield’s older sewer lines prone to problems?
Very much so. A lot of Brookfield homes still run on original clay or cast iron sewer lines, and those are exactly the kind of pipe that roots grow into and joints shift over the decades. Austin works on this housing stock constantly, so a camera inspection is quick to run and easy to explain.
