Drain Cleaning in Green Bay, WI
Most clogs are close to the fixture. If the basement floor drain gurgles or water backs up there, the trouble is in the main line.

Fat and grease from cooking cool and harden in the pipe, and in a cold basement they set even faster. Let grease cool in a can and throw it out.
Bathroom drains
Hair is the usual problem. A cheap catch screen prevents most tub and shower clogs.
Floor drains
Basement floor drains dry out if unused, letting sewer gas into the house. Pour a bucket of water in a few times a year. If one backs up when the washer drains, the main line is likely partly blocked.
Main line cleaning
A larger cable machine reaches from a cleanout to the street. If roots or scale are the cause, the line may need regular cleaning or repair.
Camera inspection
A camera shows exactly what is in the pipe and where. See sewer lateral repair if it shows damage.
Winter backups
Frozen vent pipes on the roof can make drains gurgle and run slowly in deep cold. If drains slow down only in a cold snap, mention it.
What not to flush
Wipes, even ones labeled flushable, paper towels and cotton swabs don't break down and catch on rough spots in older laterals. Only toilet paper should go down the toilet. Grease, wipes and food scraps in the trash instead of the drain prevent most kitchen and toilet clogs.
