Real Drain Cleaning Work in Waukesha Homes

Drain Inspection in Waukesha

Debbie P. called because her upstairs toilet wasn’t flushing well and the shower drain in the same bathroom was backing up. We ran a camera through the drain system and found multiple PVC joints that hadn’t been fully seated, causing gaps in the piping. We also found an area where toilet paper had built up. A repipe of the drain system was recommended to fully resolve the issue.

Drain Line Replacement in Waukesha

Edward T. called because his upstairs bathroom sink was clogged and not draining. We had attempted to auger the drain on a previous visit but were unsuccessful. When we ran the cable again, it got stuck within 10 feet and came back with large chunks of rust, indicating the cast iron drain line had deteriorated beyond clearing. With the wall opened up, we cut out the failed cast iron fitting and section of pipe and rebuilt it with new piping and a new sanitary tee connecting back to the existing drain line. Everything was tested with no leaks and no further backups.

Sewage Pump Replacement in Slinger

Wesley and Kelli C. called because all of the plumbing in their basement bathroom was backing up into the bathtub. We inspected the sewage pump and found it had failed. We replaced the pump, check valve, seals, and piping, and sealed the crock lid. After testing, we discovered a blockage in the drain line was preventing water from reaching the crock, so we pulled the basement toilet, augered the line through to the sewage crock, and reset the toilet. Everything was tested and working properly before we left.

Common Questions Waukesha Homeowners Have About Drain Cleaning

Who should I call for drain cleaning in Waukesha?
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 Waukesha?
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 Waukesha’s older sewer lines prone to problems?
Very much so. A lot of Waukesha 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.
