From slow kitchen sinks to full sewer line backups, Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides comprehensive drain cleaning service to Brookfield homeowners and businesses. Our licensed master plumbers use professional-grade equipment — including hydro jetting and pipe camera technology — to clear blockages and diagnose the underlying conditions that cause drain problems to recur.

Brookfield's housing stock spans from 1950s and 1960s ranch homes to newer colonials and two-story homes built through the 2000s. In homes from the older end of that range, cast-iron drain stacks and clay sewer laterals are common. These materials hold up well but develop specific problems with age. Clay laterals are prone to root intrusion: the roots of the mature trees throughout Brookfield neighborhoods actively probe lateral joints for moisture, eventually causing slow drains, backups, and pipe deformation. Cast-iron interior drains can corrode and accumulate scale on their inner walls, reducing flow and catching grease and debris more readily over time.

Our kitchen drain cleaning service addresses grease buildup, food particle accumulation, and the combined soap-and-debris blockages that develop in older drain lines over years of use. Bathroom drain cleaning targets hair, soap scum, and the calcium deposits that accumulate in hard water areas like Waukesha County. For main sewer line issues, we deploy hydro jetting — a high-pressure water technique that scours pipe walls completely clean — and pipe camera inspection to identify root intrusion, offset joints, or structural damage that standard cable snaking cannot address.

Recurring slow drains that return quickly after a basic cleaning are usually a sign of a structural issue — root intrusion, a collapsed section, or significant scale buildup — rather than a simple clog. Our camera inspection identifies exactly what is happening in the line so we can recommend the right repair rather than a repeated short-term fix.

Burkhardt serves all of Brookfield, including neighborhoods near Capitol Drive, Bluemound Road, and the North Calhoun Road corridor. GreenSky financing is available for larger drain and sewer line projects. Call 414-206-3049 to schedule drain cleaning service or to request emergency drain service any hour of the day.

What causes recurring slow drains in Brookfield homes?

Recurring slow drains in Brookfield homes are most often caused by grease accumulation in kitchen lines, root intrusion in older clay sewer laterals, or scale buildup inside cast-iron drain sections. A pipe camera inspection identifies the exact cause and prevents repeat service calls.

What is hydro jetting and when is it needed?

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to scour the interior walls of drain pipes, removing grease, root infiltration, and scale that standard cable snaking cannot fully clear. We recommend it for main sewer lines with significant buildup or recurrent blockage problems.

How often should main sewer lines be cleaned in Brookfield?

Homes with mature trees near their sewer lateral benefit from a camera inspection and cleaning every 2 to 3 years. Homes without significant tree pressure can go longer between cleanings, though slow drains or gurgling sounds are signs it is time to call.
