Slow drains and sewer backups are a fact of life in any established residential community, and New Berlin — with its large share of 1970s and 1980s housing — has its share of aging drain infrastructure. Whether the problem is a bathroom drain backed up by years of soap scum accumulation, a kitchen line coated in cooking grease, or a main sewer lateral that tree roots have begun to infiltrate, Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric provides professional drain cleaning throughout New Berlin.

New Berlin's established neighborhoods near Prospect Hill and along the Coffee Road corridor have mature tree canopies — a visual asset that comes with a practical downside for underground sewer lines. Tree roots from silver maples, oaks, and willows actively seek moisture in sewer laterals and can penetrate small cracks in aging clay-tile or early-generation PVC drain pipes. Once inside, root systems grow quickly and can cause complete main line obstruction within a season or two of first entry. A camera inspection of your main line is the only reliable way to detect root intrusion before a backup forces the issue — and Burkhardt offers that service throughout New Berlin.

We use professional-grade drain machines for standard line cleaning and hydro-jetting equipment for lines with heavier buildup or root intrusion requiring more aggressive clearing. Our sewer camera inspection service shows you exactly what's inside your drain lines before and after work — no guessing about what caused the problem or whether it's been properly resolved.

New Berlin homes on private septic systems benefit from regular drain cleaning upstream of the tank as well, particularly in homes with long horizontal runs in the kitchen or utility areas. Call 414-206-3049 for prompt service, same-day when available.

Do not wait for a full backup to address a drain line that has been showing warning signs. Proactive cleaning costs a fraction of emergency restoration after a main line overflow damages finished surfaces. Burkhardt is available 24/7 for urgent situations in New Berlin.

Hydro Jetting Services

For tough clogs, root intrusion, and heavy grease buildup, we use high-pressure hydro jetting to blast through blockages and restore full flow. Our hydro jetting equipment delivers up to 4,000 PSI of water pressure — powerful enough to cut through tree roots and years of buildup without damaging your pipes. It's the most effective drain cleaning method available and leaves your pipes cleaner than a snake or cable machine ever could.

All the drains in my New Berlin home are slow at the same time. Is that a main line problem?

Multiple slow drains affecting different fixtures simultaneously — kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry — strongly suggests a main line restriction rather than individual fixture clogs. This is especially true if you also hear gurgling from your toilet when running water elsewhere, or notice water backing up into a floor drain. Call Burkhardt for main line clearing and a camera inspection to identify the cause.

Do you offer sewer camera inspection in New Berlin?

Yes. Burkhardt provides sewer camera inspection throughout New Berlin. Camera inspection lets us see exactly what's in your drain line — whether it's root intrusion, pipe sag, grease buildup, or a broken section — so you can make an informed decision about the right service. We show you what the camera reveals.

Can drain cleaning help with odors coming from my New Berlin drains?

Foul drain odors are often caused by organic buildup — biofilm, food debris, or hair — in the line or at the trap. Professional cleaning removes the material harboring odor-producing bacteria. Persistent sewer gas odors, a sulfur or rotten egg smell, can also indicate a dry trap or a venting problem, which Burkhardt can diagnose and address separately.
