A slow or clogged drain has a way of turning a normal morning into a frustrating one. Whether it’s a kitchen sink that won’t drain, a shower backing up, or a floor drain that’s seen better days, these problems don’t fix themselves. And in Central Wisconsin, where older homes are common and seasonal temperature swings can stress your plumbing year-round, drain issues tend to show up at the worst possible times.

At Southport Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we provide professional drain cleaning services throughout the Wausau area. Our team comes fully equipped to clear blockages fast and get your plumbing back to normal. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn clog or a drain that’s been sluggish for weeks, we’re ready to help.

We also serve surrounding communities including Schofield, Stratford, and Athens. Contact us today to schedule your drain cleaning service.

Signs You Need Drain Cleaning

Most drain problems don’t start as emergencies. They build up slowly, and by the time you notice, the clog is already well established. Here’s what to watch for:

  • Slow draining water: If water pools in your sink or tub before gradually draining, a partial blockage is likely forming inside the pipe.
  • Recurring clogs: Clearing the same drain over and over is a sign the real problem is deeper in the line than a plunger can reach.
  • Gurgling sounds: Strange noises coming from your drains after water runs usually mean air is trapped behind a blockage somewhere in the system.
  • Unpleasant odors: A foul smell rising from your drain is often caused by built-up grease, hair, soap, or food debris decomposing inside the pipe.
  • Multiple slow drains at once: When more than one drain in your home is sluggish, the issue may be in your main sewer line rather than an individual pipe.

Professional Drain Cleaning Services in Wausau

There’s a big difference between using a store-bought drain cleaner and having a professional clear your pipes. Chemical drain cleaners are hard on older pipes and rarely solve the underlying problem. Professional drain cleaning gets to the source of the clog and removes it completely.

Our team at Southport Plumbing, Heating & Cooling uses proven techniques to clear blockages in kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. We arrive with the tools needed to handle the job on the spot, so there’s no waiting around for parts or a second visit.

Drain cleaning is also a smart way to prevent bigger plumbing problems down the road. Keeping your pipes clear reduces the risk of backups, water damage, and costly repairs. It pairs well with routine plumbing maintenance to keep your entire system in good shape throughout the year. If you’re also dealing with an aging water heater, our team can address both during the same visit.

We proudly serve homeowners throughout the Wausau area, including Wittenberg, Auburndale, and beyond.

I have a Shield maintenance agreement with Southport Plumbing Heading and Cooling.

The value for the plan is fantastic! They come out and help maintain your plumbing, heating and cooling systems. Jacob from the HVAC side has come out to my home and has done an excellent job of keeping me aware of what is working well, and what I may need to keep an eye on.

Justan and Nathan from the plumbing side have also come out to my house and did the regular yearly maintenance. They too, do an awesome job of keeping me updated on how the plumbing is within my house.

I also was alerted to the battery being bad for my sump pump backup system and Justan and Nathan installed a new sump pump and a new backup system as well. The timing was impeccable as we faced a power loss for around 24 hours, and the battery was fully charged and the backup sump pump worked while we didn't have power! It was better paying for the backup system than a repair bill for a flooded basement.

To round it out, the office staff, Sarah did a great job helping me coordinate not only the visits for the maintenance, but also helped facilitate the installation of the plumbing work.

They keep giving great reasons why I'm a long term Southport Plumbing, Heating & Cooling customer!

Thank you!

I recently had a technician from Southport come out to provide a quote for a new furnace and air conditioning unit, and I was very impressed with the experience. They did a thorough inspection to determine the best fit for my property rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

Caleb, the representative, was knowledgeable and took the time to explain all of my options. He educated me throughout the entire process, and made sure I understood the differences between each system so I could make an informed decision. The customer service was truly superb.

I would definitely recommend Southport to anyone looking for an honest, professional HVAC company. They primarily carry Carrier equipment but they do other options exclusively made by Carrier for Southport as well.

Tommy and Blake were so helpful. They went out of their way to explain everything throughly and left me with clear documentation on my issue as well as a full Plumbing System Evaluation. I received 3 different price structures and ways to save money. I would highly recommend this company! Thank you ever so much!

If you want WOW service, contact Southport! From my first call to schedule an emergency air conditioner unit replacement to the installation, Southport was professional, prompt, and priced fairly. (I originally called another company who was the complete opposite--Southport, however, fixed the issue and made sure I was completely satisfied!)
