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 had a boiler system installed by Southport and everyone I interacted with was fantastic! After several quotes I selected them because I thought the company had a lot of integrity. I first got a quote from Caleb who was most professional, walking me through all the options they had for me and being very reasonable on the pricing. They scheduled the installation within a week and, on that day, the technicians Ryan and Jacob were excellent and very hard workers. I appreciated that they were very careful inside the house, putting shoe protectors while upstairs and overall being very respectful. They stayed until the job was done and my heat was restored. I would highly recommend Southport if you need a new boiler installation or and work or maintenance on your boiler, home heat, or water heating system.

Thank you for sending Andrew Wenk to test our furnace. He could answer our questions clearly and tested all the important components and measured various pressures, temperatures, speeds, and other technical factors. He gave us 3 estimates for replacing parts that are needed due to age of the furnace. Andrew was pleasant and respectful to us.

Southport’s Technician , Phil Lloyd, is a true asset to his organization! My wife, Karyn and I have had many contractors come through our house over the years and I would put Southport at the very top of our service partners. They are knowledgeable, reasonable, and most importantly trustworthy. Phil Lloyd took the time to share, in layman’s terms, the root cause of our problem and a remedy that would bring our system back up and running; peace of mind to our family. I would highly recommend Southport, and would give Phil Lloyd a 10 out of 10 related to Service, quality, and most important trust. Southport is fair on cost,I plan on partnering with Southport for many years to come. Jim Sheehan
