We had our main sewer plugged. We called "Mr Rooter" and they sent the tech Jakob. Jakob was very polite and professional. He ran his camera down the main sewer and found roots was plugging the sewer. He ran his snake in and out quite a few times. The drain started draining but when his ran his camera again he still seen roots so he did it until drain was completely clean. Works great now and they guarantee their work. I would highly recommend them.

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.

Been using Mr Rooter for 25 years, always really pleased and satisfied. Didn't realize they had recently changed hands and this has significantly affected prices. The only thing they need to do is alert customers to the likely cost now, instead of assuming they know. Always good service. Great technicians.

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.

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.

I own numerous homes and one of my properties in Mequon was having a main line issue. I found Z Plumberz and called them - The owner answered and said he would try his best to fit a plumber in that day. He said he would communicate with me throughout the day to keep me posted. He kept his word and was able to send a plumber that day. The plumber took care of the main line and tested the water for free to see if I needed a soft water system - the results were that the water readings were fine and said it was unnecessary. They are 100% honest, reliable, and the office stayed in touch with me every step of the way. Finding this is almost unheard of today. They earned our trust. Pricing was fair and they took care of the problem.

I’m voting for Andy Roeder to receive technician of the month award. He performed extensive plumbing repair knowledgeably and successfully with great care to detail at my home in Milwaukee, WI. Andy was very friendly and explained everything he did. His work was impeccable and I feel very confident and worry free about the work he has done. He is highly recommended. However I also want to mention Dan was the technician that snaked my clogged pipes and got my water flowing smoothly again prior to Andy finishing the extra job needed. Dan was also very thorough, knowledgeable and friendly while completing the job of my clogged drain. Both technicians were very neat and tidy about the cleanup and I appreciate that.

Isiah Zinda was the second plumber at my house in Washington Heights, Milwaukee, yesterday. The issue was likely more daunting than he was expecting from the reported clogged pipes as my home is over one hundred years old. Unfortunately, the antiquated concrete and metal three basin laundry sink and connected plumbing was damaged beyond repair and all had to be replaced. This required demolition of the 300 lb basin with a sledgehammer and carrying out the debris in five gallon buckets. He set up a new modern laundry basin and plumbing connections. The area was clean after he was finished. Working largely alone Isiah was able to complete the work in a few hours and I didn't have to cancel plans or take additional time off work. I would recommend Isiah and Knight Plumbing - I'm already a repeat customer - though I hope not to call again anytime soon.

​I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Knight Plumbing. Living in an older home in Riverwest, I’m used to things being a bit tricky when it comes to repairs, but these guys made it seamless. ​Our water heater finally gave out, leaving us with ice-cold showers. I called Knight Plumbing, and they were responsive and able to get someone out quickly. ​Colton was our technician, and he was phenomenal. He arrived right on time and was incredibly professional from start to finish. He took the time to explain exactly what was wrong with the old unit and walked me through the options for the new one without trying to upsell me on things I didn't need. ​The installation itself was flawless. Colton navigated our basement with ease, got the new tank installed efficiently, and tidied up the workspace perfectly before leaving. It’s rare to find that level of care and craftsmanship these days. ​We have hot water again, and the new setup looks great. If you are in Milwaukee and need plumbing work done—especially if you need a new water heater—ask for Colton at Knight Plumbing. Highly recommended!

I've been using Bontempo Plumbing as long as I can remember and will continue to do so. They've changed my cast iron pipes to copper, replaced my water heater, replaced my sump pumps, installed battery backup sump pump, fixed clogged drains, repaired leaky toilet and installed new faucets; all work has been 100% satisfactory and for a fair price. They are responsive when assistance is needed and both Chris and Zach are friendly and keep you in the loop of what is wrong and what is needed to fix it. Do not hesitate to give them a call when you need plumbing help. Many of my friends and family have utilized them and everyone has been pleased.

We have been using Bontempo for about five years now. They are always prompt, kind, knowledgeable and fair in price. This past Friday they were able to make a same day call to replace an old sump pump. Lucky timing because the next night we had county wide flooding. Guess who's basement is bone dry? Highly recommend and will gladly use their services in the future.

Update 8/12/25: Just had them out again for a water heater. When testing the lines, Chris replaced a bad aerator on our bathroom tap, free of charge and just because he noticed it. Chris and Zack are top notch and I will never use another plumber as long as Bontempo is available! Shout out to Melissa as well for calling us back so quickly to schedule service. This team is amazing! Had some water stains and called after getting several recommendations for Bontempo. They came out and addressed the issue and actually walked us through what caused the problem and ways to avoid future problems. Very professional and the price was fair. Will definitely be using them again for any future 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!

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 🌟

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.

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.

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.

I would stay away from this company. They are dishonest and the customer service is appalling. They bait and switched me on a hot water heater and then charged me $250 to come back and stand in my basement for 15 minutes to "look" at an issue I was having with it. Unsurprisingly, standing there looking at the tank for 15 minutes didn't fix anything. After the visit I called the office to see about next steps and was berated by the owner's daughter. She insulted where I live and said "they do not need anyone in Milwaukee's business". Shocked by her behavior I let her know I'd be leaving a review to which she plainly said she'd discredit it in the response section. Beware!

I am Real Estate Agent and have used G & G on a number of occasions for my clients, and at my own home. The guys they send are always super nice and the prices are certainly fair, but I mostly appreciate the creativity, experience and knowledge they have. I have met a number of the plumbers at G & G and it seems like every one has made the project (at least at my house) go faster than I expected. All the tools and parts were right on his truck, and they cleaned up nice. My dog curiously loves all the plumbers too.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Waukesha, Wisconsin

Waukesha residents know that a clogged drain can bring a household to a screeching halt, whether you're living near the Fox River or over by Carroll University. Finding a plumber who isn't already booked solid for the week can be a major challenge in Southeast Wisconsin. That’s where our unique service steps in. We take the guesswork out of home repairs by scanning our local network of certified Waukesha plumbers to find a technician available in your exact neighborhood right now.

We don't just provide a generic list of names; we actively filter by your specific zip code and call the technicians ourselves to confirm they are ready to handle your drain emergency today. This saves you the frustration of calling around only to be told they’re 'all booked up.' Whether it’s a grease backup in a kitchen or a main line blockage, we ensure you’re connected with a pro who is actually ready to get to work.

Common Drain Issues in Waukesha, Wisconsin

Hard Water Mineral Scaling: Waukesha is known for its hard water, which leads to significant mineral scaling inside your pipes. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits narrow your drains, causing slow drainage and frequent clogs that standard plungers simply cannot fix.

Historic Pipe Corrosion: Many homes in Waukesha’s more established districts feature aging clay or cast-iron pipes. These materials are prone to cracking and interior corrosion, often leading to stubborn blockages that require professional hydro-jetting to clear without damaging the integrity of the line.

Tree Root Intrusion: With the beautiful, mature tree canopy throughout Waukesha neighborhoods, root intrusion is a major issue for local sewer lines. Roots seek out moisture in your pipes, growing through tiny joints and creating massive obstructions that lead to messy sewage backups in basements.

Seasonal 'Fatbergs' in Kitchens: From heavy holiday cooking to daily meal prep, Waukesha kitchens often suffer from solidified grease. In the cold Wisconsin climate, fats and oils harden quickly in your pipes, leading to complete stoppages that require professional-grade equipment to clear.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Waukesha, Wisconsin

Spring Thaw Prep: As the ground thaws in Waukesha, check your basement floor drains. Ensure they are clear of winter dust and debris to prevent flooding during the heavy spring rains common in the region.

Summer Root Maintenance: Late summer is the peak time for tree root growth. If you notice gurgling sounds in your toilets or slow-draining tubs, have a professional inspect your main line before the roots completely choke the pipe.

Fall Leaf Debris: Before the first freeze, ensure your outdoor area drains and gutter downspouts are clear of falling leaves. Blocked exterior drains can lead to water pooling against your foundation and eventually backing up into your home.

Winter Pipe Protection: In the middle of a Waukesha deep freeze, keep your cabinet doors open under sinks located on exterior walls. Cold pipes can slow down drainage flow and are at a much higher risk for freezing and bursting if they are partially clogged.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Waukesha, Wisconsin

$165-$475

Pricing for drain cleaning in Waukesha typically ranges based on the severity and location of the clog. Simple sink or tub snaking is on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting services fall on the higher end due to the specialized equipment required.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Waukesha, Wisconsin

How quickly can I get a plumber to my home in Waukesha?

We specialize in speed. By filtering our network by your Waukesha zip code and calling ahead to confirm availability, we often find pros who can arrive within a few hours for emergency clogs.

Does Waukesha's hard water affect how often I need drain cleaning?

Yes. The high mineral content in Waukesha's water can cause scale buildup. We recommend a professional cleaning every 18-24 months to prevent these minerals from permanently narrowing your plumbing pipes.

Are the plumbers in your network licensed for work in Wisconsin?

Absolutely. We only work with certified technicians who understand Wisconsin plumbing codes and the specific challenges of Waukesha's local infrastructure and climate.

What is the most common cause of sewer backups in Waukesha?

Tree roots and aging sewer laterals are the top culprits in Waukesha. Our verified experts use camera inspections to pinpoint exactly where these underground issues are occurring before they cause a flood.

Is 24-hour drain cleaning available in Waukesha through your service?

Yes. Our verification service specifically checks for 24-hour availability to ensure that if your drain overflows in the middle of the night, we find a plumber who is actually awake and ready to help.
