Why Team Austin Is Milwaukee’s Go-To for Drain Cleaning Work

Real Drain Cleaning Work in Milwaukee Homes

Kitchen Drain Repair in Milwaukee

Nathaniel B. called because his kitchen sink wasn’t draining and water was shooting back up when the garbage disposal ran. We found the kitchen drain was backing up and discovered leaking fittings on the drain stack in the basement. We ran a cable through the clean out to restore flow and then repaired the 2-inch kitchen drain stack. Everything was tested and working great before we left.

Kitchen Drain Repair in Milwaukee

Annie W. called because her kitchen sink was completely clogged with standing water. We inspected the drain piping and found the line was all galvanized and in poor condition. We augered out the blockage and installed a new p-trap and tailpiece. Once flow was restored, we discovered at least 10 pin hole leaks in a section of the horizontal galvanized piping and recommended a full repipe of the kitchen drain line, which was scheduled as a follow-up visit.

Drain Cleaning and Faucet Installation in Milwaukee

Sushil K. called because his upstairs bathroom sink was draining slowly and he also needed a new kitchen faucet installed. We removed a hair clog from the bathroom sink drain and restored proper flow, then installed his client-supplied kitchen faucet. Both were tested and working great before we left.

“2025 – Luke from Austin Plumbing is an exceptional plumber! He was diligent in resolving our clogged pipe – checking multiple times for drainage to ensure he met his high standards. In addition to great plumber skill-set, he is a very good communicator – listens well and explains options in easy to understand language. He was extremely well-mannered…a pleasure to have in our home. 2024 – We have lucked out multiple times with Pete, from Austin Plumbing! He is competent – with extensive knowledge of plumbing (indoor and outdoor). He is adept at identifying efficient manners in which to solve problems – with little disruption to household life. He pays attention to detail and can communicate the plan in a manner that is easy to understand. In addition to being kind, considerate, trustworthy and professional, he is highly skilled in plumbing. Many thanks to Pete for ongoing support to our plumbing needs! 2021 – Lived with a dripping exterior faucet for 2 years and Austin Plumbing, Pete(!) – fixed it in more than one manner. He assessed current state, described what he would do (nothing more than what needed to be done) and provided a quote. Given his thoughtful and descriptive approach – it was a no-brainer to move forward. Can plumbing be elegant – turns out – YES! Great job Pete and thanks to Austin Plumbing for your treat-you-like-family approach.”

“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 Milwaukee Homeowners Have About Drain Cleaning

Who should I call for drain cleaning in Milwaukee?
Austin’s worked on drains and sewer lines 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 Milwaukee?
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 Milwaukee’s older sewer lines prone to problems?
Very much so. A lot of Milwaukee 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.
