FAQ's

You may need professional drain cleaning if sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, laundry drains, or floor drains are slow, gurgling, smelly, or backing up. A clogged drain that keeps returning after plunging is another sign that the issue may be farther down the line.

In Milwaukee County, drain problems can come from grease, hair, soap residue, wipes, food scraps, lint, roots, or older pipe buildup. A kitchen drain in Bay View may clog from grease and dishwasher discharge, while a bathroom drain in Riverwest may clog from hair and soap. If multiple fixtures are slow at the same time, the issue may involve the main line. Knight Plumbing & Drain Cleaning provides drain cleaning services, clogged drain repair, rooter service, hydrojetting, and sewer video inspection when recurring issues need a closer look.

Call for sewer camera inspection when you have repeated backups, sewer odors, gurgling lower-level drains, water backing up into tubs or floor drains, or multiple fixtures draining slowly. A sewer camera inspection helps identify roots, cracks, offsets, bellies, buildup, collapsed pipe, or other conditions inside the line.

Hydrojetting may be recommended when a line has heavy grease, sludge, or buildup and the pipe condition is suitable. It can be especially helpful for certain recurring drain problems in Milwaukee, West Allis, Oak Creek, Shorewood, Glendale, and nearby communities. Camera inspection is often useful before or after hydrojetting because it helps confirm what is happening in the line. If the issue is structural, such as a broken pipe or severe root intrusion, sewer line repair or replacement may be needed instead of repeated cleaning.

Yes. Knight Plumbing & Drain Cleaning provides sump pump repair and replacement, sump pump installation, and battery backup options for Milwaukee, WI, and surrounding areas. Sump systems are important for homes with basements, especially when heavy rain, spring thaw, groundwater, or power interruptions create water risk.

A sump pump may need attention if it hums but does not remove water, cycles too often, fails to start, trips a breaker, or leaves water high in the basin. Battery backups can add protection when storms cause power outages at the same time groundwater is rising. This can be especially helpful for finished basements, storage-heavy lower levels, and homes in areas such as Cudahy, South Milwaukee, St. Francis, Greenfield, Franklin, and Bay View.
