About A J Sewer & Drain Cleaning in Milwaukee, WI

A professional plumbing inspection from A J Sewer & Drain Cleaning allows us to proactively assess the condition of your pipes, looking for early signs of buildup, corrosion, or tree root intrusion that are common in our area. By identifying these issues before they cause a full blockage, we can recommend targeted cleaning or repairs, helping you avoid the inconvenience and potential water damage of a major clog.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker for safety. Do not put your hand down the drain. For Milwaukee homeowners, a common cause is fibrous food waste like potato peels or celery. Our experts can safely use specialized tools to manually free the jam, check the impellers for damage, and ensure the unit is properly reset. We can also advise on best practices for your specific plumbing system to minimize future clogs.

A humming disposal is typically a sign of a jam, not necessarily a motor failure. Our technicians at A J Sewer & Drain Cleaning are experts at safely clearing these common jams. Using specialized tools, we can manually free the stuck mechanism, inspect the blades for damage, and test the unit. Often, a simple clearing and reset is all that's needed. We'll provide an honest assessment on the spot—if the disposal is old or damaged beyond repair, we'll explain your options. Our goal is to solve your problem efficiently, whether through repair or recommending a reliable replacement.

For a recently slow kitchen sink, first try using a plunger designed for sinks to create suction and dislodge minor clogs. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage pipes and disposal seals common in Milwaukee homes. If the problem persists or involves your garbage disposal, it's best to call us at A J Sewer & Drain Cleaning. Persistent slow drainage often indicates a deeper clog or grease buildup in the pipes that requires professional equipment like a drain snake or hydro-jetting. Our plumbing inspection can pinpoint the exact location and cause, providing a proper fix rather than a temporary solution.
