Amazing service and transparent pricing. We found sewage backed up in our basement at 8 pm on a weeknight. I tried calling several companies, but 24/7 Sewer was the only one willing to come out to help . They were completely transparent about the pricing over the phone. Jayson got to our Condo and thoroughly cleared the drain. Even after clearing the first clog, he checked it a few more times to make sure it was completely clear. Will definitely CALL them again in the future.

Randomly chosen off internet, clearly publicized price for services. Turned out great, the men showed up in three hours and had my sewer line cleaned out in half an hour. And gave very good advice on how to solve/repair any further problems. I highly recommend them and believe me I’ve been burned in the past.

The fellas that fixed my kitchen drain were friendly and knowledgeable and snaked the drain clean in minutes. My son called them on a Sunday and they were at my house midday Monday. I would certainly recommend them to others as well as return to my house if needed again in the future.

Jeff and his team came highly recommended from a plumber in the Milwaukee area we had used & trusted prior. Jeff picked up the phone when I called at 7 PM and was able to fit in my service call in under 48hrs. He was upfront about the cost and had no service fee. I was given a heads up both from my prior plumber and from Jeff that only cash payment was accepted. Jeff provided me with a written receipt and was able to solve my problem with great cleanup of the area within an hour. He also provided guidance on how to prevent the issue in the future.

Received great service from the dispatch team; they were able to have a technician out within 2 hours and gave updates when they were on their way. The technician Tony was very professional and took the time to understand the plumbing drain issues; was able to resolve the issue in a very cost effective and efficient way. Will be using in the future and would recommend.

My sewer backed up the week of Christmas. I bought my nearly 100 year old house just three months prior and was not aware of some pluming issues I inherited. The team at Mr. Rooter was consistently helpful and professional throughout my four week journey in identifying and resolving the very unique sewer line break. From Dan and Shannon in the office to the team of Jakob W, Tony F, and Taylor V who came out to my house to do all the work, I was well cared for the entire time. They were transparent about the issues found, options available, and costs the entire time. They were all friendly and supportive during a very frustrating situation for me and did a great job in all repairs. I would highly recommend them for any plumbing needs and plan to use them again!

John of Mr.Rooter did an excellent job explaining every detail of our drain cleaning process. He also provided quotes for a future permanent solution. John was positive, prompt, and professional. (Kudos to Josh who helped with the drain cleaning.) We would highly recommend Mr. Rooter for your plumbing needs.

Z Plumberz are amazing! Over the years our gym has struggled to find an reliable and responsive plumbing company. Recently our urinal went down needing a new part and a drain cleaning. Owner Matt was quick to send Andrew out and take care of the problem. We couldn't be more happy with our experience. Z Plumberz are our first and only call for all our plumbing needs.

This was my first time using Rozga and I have to say I am very, very happy. Eric from Rozga showed up on time (even 3 minutes early) and was able to fish out the wire cup brush I dropped down the basement drain (don't ask how that happened ) in no time at all. Eric was very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable and I will have no hesitation contacting Rozga again for my future plumbing needs. The price was also very reasonable as well. Thanks for the great service!

I called about have a new bathroom faucet installed and slow pressure and drainage in my bathroom sink. Matt R was here the next morning and on time. They always call before arriving. Matt took the time to explain my options and handled the job without any issues. I would recommend them for any of your needs or if you need an emergency plumbing problem. Five stars 🌟

Excellent experience with Razga. We needed help with getting shut-off valves to the outside faucets replaced to ensure the house was safe from the winter deep freeze coming. Jason was great to work with and got everything done quickly at a fair price. Great company to work with!

I reached out to Diamond Plumbing on a Saturday morning because of busted drain pipe in my basement. As a landlord I'm fairly handy, but this pipe was old and rusted through, so it was time for a professional to take over. I called Diamond Plumbing Services and they were assessing my issue within the hour. I really love their flat rate pricing on the various options and I felt comfortable asking questions along the way. The total fix took less than two hours and I'd definitely call them again! *Update, since this original post 5 years ago I have called upon Diamond Plumbing at least 4 times even to my personal residence and each time they have provided exceptional service. Julian is a great guy to work with and I can't recommend them to enough people. Thanks

Excellent service!! Our bathtub drain was clogged, and nothing we tried would unplug it. After reading the reviews here, I decided to call Reupert Plumbing. As luck would have it, Joe was in my neighborhood. He was at my door in ten minutes. He unclogged the drain, and was very reasonably priced. Joe, the second generation owner arrived with his son, and both were very friendly! I'm so happy I found a family- owned business, whose prices are fair. I will use them again in a heartbeat!

When our drains all started backing up on a weekend night, I spent 6 hours trying to fix the plumbing myself with a snake and liquid drain cleaner like I usually do - couldn't get it. Found out about Tracey's Sewer & Drain Cleaning online. Tracey made himself available right away to come fix things. Got three clogged sinks on 2 levels of the house done in 1 hour. Very professional, no nonsense. The price was SOOOOO much lower than I expected based on others I had called. I have his business card taped to my desk, so I know how to reach him again if needed. Very high recommendation for workmanship, speed of service, and price.

I was able to get service within 2 hours of calling. He did a great job, and the price was a lot lower then I expected. He also gave me some tips to help avoid having the same problem again. While I hope I don't need his service again, I will use him again if I do.

Used Tyler again on a second project to install a sump pump and he was great by additionally installing new drain pipe as well. Highly recommend him and the company!

I never write reviews, but my recent experience with this company prompted this. I’ve been a loyal customer of this plumbing company for about seven years. We own an older home in Elm Grove and have relied on their services many times over the years. However, I was very disappointed with my most recent experience. The cost to clean out my sewer line was nearly double what I’ve been charged in the past. When I called the office to ask about the price increase, the person I spoke with was extremely rude and even told me that I would be blacklisted. After years of being a repeat customer, this was disappointing. Based on this experience, I can no longer recommend this company.

Water was running from the upstairs bathroom down the wall in my kitchen and into my basement. In a panic I called Mike. He calmed me down, told me what to do and sent Joe over in the morning. Joe was very polite and thorough. He worked his butt off to find the issue. I am grateful for the quick response and all the work that was done!

Professional Drain Cleaning in Milwaukee

From the historic bungalows in Bay View to the bustling businesses in the Third Ward, Milwaukee’s plumbing needs are as diverse as the city itself. Dealing with a slow drain or a complete sewer backup is more than a nuisance; it's a disruption to your day in the Cream City. That’s why we’ve revolutionized how Milwaukee residents find relief from plumbing emergencies. Instead of you spending your afternoon calling every plumber from Mequon to Oak Creek, we do the legwork for you. Our specialized system scans our local network of certified Milwaukee plumbers and filters them by your exact zip code. Most importantly, we personally call them to confirm they have the equipment and the schedule to solve your specific drain issue today, ensuring you don't waste a single minute on hold or waiting for a 'no-show.'

Common Drain Issues in Milwaukee

Many of Milwaukee’s older neighborhoods, like the East Side and Historic Mitchell Street, feature aging clay or cast-iron pipes. Over time, these materials degrade, leading to frequent clogs and structural issues that require professional hydro-jetting or specialized snaking to clear safely.

The lush, tree-lined streets that make Milwaukee beautiful also pose a threat to underground sewer lines. Maples and Oaks have aggressive root systems that seek out moisture in sewer pipes, causing massive blockages and potential pipe collapses if roots are not cleared regularly by a professional.

With Milwaukee's rich culinary scene and love for traditional Friday Night Fish Fries, local kitchen drains often fall victim to grease buildup. When fats, oils, and grease (FOG) cool in cold Wisconsin pipes, they solidify into 'fatbergs' that can completely stop your water flow and cause messy kitchen backups.

Milwaukee’s water supply can lead to calcium and magnesium deposits inside your plumbing. This mineral scale narrows the diameter of your drains over time, making it much easier for hair, soap scum, and debris to snag and create stubborn clogs that store-bought cleaners simply can't dissolve.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Milwaukee

Spring Thaw Inspection: After a harsh Wisconsin winter, check your basement floor drains for any signs of backup as the snow melts and the ground shifts, which can put pressure on your sewer line.

Fall Leaf Cleanup: Ensure your outdoor area drains and gutters are clear of fallen leaves before the first freeze. Clogged exterior drains can lead to localized flooding around your foundation during heavy autumn rains.

Winter Pipe Protection: In sub-zero Milwaukee temperatures, ensure your indoor plumbing stays warm. If a drain is near an exterior wall, keep cabinet doors open to allow heat to circulate and prevent frozen traps from cracking.

Summer Root Management: Summer is the peak growing season in Wisconsin. If you have large trees in your yard, consider a preventative rooter service to clear out fine roots before they turn into a major blockage during the rainy season.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Milwaukee

$145-$485

Prices in Milwaukee typically vary based on the severity of the clog, the location of the drain (main sewer line vs. a secondary sink line), and whether specialized equipment like hydro-jetting or fiber-optic camera inspections are required.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Milwaukee

Why are my drains backing up more often during Milwaukee winters?

In Milwaukee, extreme cold can cause grease inside your pipes to solidify much faster than in summer. Additionally, if your pipes are shallowly buried, they may experience frost heave or partial freezing, which restricts water flow and leads to backups.

Do you service all Milwaukee zip codes?

Yes, our network covers the entire Milwaukee metropolitan area, from 53202 in the heart of downtown to the surrounding suburban reaches. We filter specifically for the certified plumber closest to your exact zip code to ensure the fastest response time.

How do you verify if a Milwaukee plumber is actually available?

This is our core service. After we identify the best plumbers for your zip code, we call them directly to confirm they have an open slot and the right tools for your specific drain issue. We only connect you once we know they can help you today.

Is hydro-jetting necessary for older Milwaukee homes?

For many older homes in Milwaukee that have decades of mineral scale or heavy grease buildup, hydro-jetting is often the most cost-effective way to restore pipes to like-new condition and prevent recurring clogs.

Can heavy Milwaukee rains cause my basement drain to overflow?

Yes, heavy rain can overwhelm local combined sewer systems. If your floor drain is backing up during a storm, it's critical to have a professional check your backwater valve or clear any obstructions in your lateral line immediately.
