How to Avoid Future Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Emergencies

Take precautions around your drains to help prevent plumbing and drain emergencies from occurring.

  • Drain outdoor faucets before freezing temperatures set in.
  • Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and cracking.
  • Use drain screens in sinks, bathtubs, and showers to prevent clogs.
  • Use your garbage disposal correctly to prevent clogs.
  • Locate your home's main water emergency shutoff valve and know how to operate it.
  • Regularly clear catch basins of debris to prevent clogs.

Even if you care for your home's plumbing diligently, sewer and drain emergencies can still occur. If they do, call Roto-Rooter for fast and reliable sewer and drain services, 24/7.

Stop Your Sink from Backing Up

The most common plumbing emergency we encounter is cleaning out sink drains. To stop your sink from backing up during an emergency, follow our plumber’s helpful tips: 

  1. Locate your main water supply valve. This should be located in your basement, along the perimeter
  2. SHUT OFF your MAIN WATER SUPPLY – This should stop the water from continuing to flow up into your sink
  3. Call Roto-Rooter in Milwaukee!
  4. Use a bucket to remove all but 3 or 4 inches of water from your sink
  5. Roto-Rooter's emergency technicians will be at your service ASAP. 

If turning off the main water supply valve does not work, your backup is coming from somewhere else (within the system of your plumbing). You may want to grab a bucket and keep removing water from the sink, dumping the water outside or in some other water receptacle (tub, basin, toilet) inside your home while you wait for our emergency plumber to assist.

Our emergency plumbing and drain cleaning services span the greater Milwaukee area including Cudahy, Oak Creek, Shorewood, Wauwatosa, West Allis, Sussex, Menomonee Falls, Brown Deer, Shorewood, Milwaukee, Mequon, Hartford, New Berlin & more!

The customer service I received from the moment I called to the time they left my house was top notch. I would 100% recommend. Rich the technician was to my house and fixed the problem by 10 AM. A special thank you to both Mikey and Rich for making this such an easy fix.

Excellent service all around. From quick response to my email request to the time they were able to stop by and check out the job I needed done. Tech doing the work, Tony, was fantastic. I was really interested in the process and he was ok with me watching and asking questions while he worked. Best interaction I've had with a professional helping on an issue I was having in my house. Also gave me advice on how to mitigate possible future issues. Very impressed.

I had a clogged main line that can only be accessed from my crawl space and he and his partner not only cleared the line, but fixed 2 clean out covers, one of which I didn't know had rotted away to nothing. My house is not only reclaimed but made significantly better. I am a very happy customer and these guys are a credit to your company.</span></p>
