Drain clogs follow predictable patterns. Understanding what causes them - and where in the line they form - is the first step toward a lasting fix rather than a temporary patch.
Kitchen Drain Clogs
Cooking grease is the leading cause of kitchen drain failure. Each time warm grease runs down the drain, it cools and coats the pipe wall. Over weeks and months, those layers compress into a dense, sticky mass that catches food solids and soap scum. The clog typically forms in the P-trap or the branch line just beyond it. A cable auger breaks through the blockage, but hydro jetting does the more thorough job - scouring the pipe wall clean rather than simply punching a hole through the buildup.
Bathroom Drain Clogs
Hair and soap scum are the primary culprits in tub, shower, and sink drains. Hair binds with soap residue to form a dense mat just past the P-trap. The clog restricts flow gradually, so a slow drain is the first warning sign before a complete backup. A hand auger or the Roto-Rooter Machine clears the obstruction quickly. In bathroom sink drains, toothpaste residue compounds the problem, narrowing the pipe over time.
Main Sewer Line Backups
When multiple fixtures back up simultaneously - a toilet that gurgles while the washing machine drains, or a basement floor drain that overflows when the upstairs sink runs - the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line. That line carries all household waste to the city connection, so a single obstruction there affects every fixture in the home. Roto-Rooter technicians diagnose main line backups with a sewer camera inspection before clearing them, confirming whether the cause is grease accumulation, a root intrusion, or a structural issue in the pipe.
How Roto-Rooter Diagnoses and Clears Drain Problems
Effective drain cleaning starts with knowing what is in the pipe. Roto-Rooter technicians use sewer camera inspection to send a waterproof camera through the line, recording the condition of the pipe wall, the location of the blockage, and any structural defects - cracks, bellies, or collapsed sections - that a cable auger alone cannot reveal. A belly in the line, for example, is a low point where waste pools and accumulates instead of flowing to the main. Clearing it without identifying it means the backup returns within weeks.
Mechanical Augering
The Roto-Rooter Machine is the brand's signature tool - a motorized cable auger that cuts through hair mats, grease plugs, and even tree roots that have grown into older sewer lateral joints. Hand augers handle shorter runs in fixture drains. Both methods physically break apart or extract the obstruction, restoring flow through the line.
Hydro Jetting
Where augering cuts through a clog, hydro jetting removes the conditions that created it. A high-pressure water jet scours the pipe wall at up to several thousand PSI, stripping away calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris that a cable cannot reach. The result is a pipe that flows closer to its original capacity. Hydro jetting is particularly effective after a camera inspection confirms that the pipe wall - not just the center channel - is the source of recurring slowdowns.
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots enter drain lines through hairline cracks at pipe joints, drawn by the moisture and warmth inside. Once inside, they expand as they absorb water, eventually filling the pipe. The Roto-Rooter Machine cuts through root masses, and a follow-up camera inspection confirms whether the joint is still structurally sound or needs further attention.

Frequently Asked Questions in New Glarus
How can I contact my local Roto-Rooter?
Please visit our locations page to find the nearest Roto-Rooter.
How does a sewer camera inspection work and do I actually need one?
A technician feeds a flexible camera cable into the drain line and watches live video of the pipe interior on a monitor. It pinpoints the exact location of a blockage, reveals root intrusion, identifies a collapsed section or a belly in the line, and confirms the pipe material and condition. If a drain keeps clogging after clearing, camera inspection removes the guesswork and shows whether augering, hydro jetting, or a repair is the right next step.
My drain is backing up late at night - can I get someone out right away?
Roto-Rooter is available 24/7, 365 days a year, so a backed-up drain at midnight gets the same response as one at noon. A main line backup that leaves standing water in the tub or sink shouldn't wait until morning. Call 608-455-4481 to reach Roto-Rooter dispatch and schedule service in New Glarus, WI.
Can tree roots really get inside my drain pipes?
Yes. Roots seek moisture and enter drain lines through hairline cracks or loose joints - especially in older clay or cast iron laterals. Once inside, they expand and trap debris, causing recurring backups. The Roto-Rooter Machine cuts through root intrusion to restore flow, and a sewer camera inspection confirms how far the roots have spread and whether the pipe wall is structurally sound.
Multiple fixtures are backing up at the same time - what does that mean?
When a toilet backs up while a shower drains slowly, or water rises in the tub when the washing machine runs, the blockage is almost always in the main sewer line rather than an individual fixture. Everything in the house drains to that single line, so a clog there affects multiple fixtures at once. Roto-Rooter clears main line blockages with mechanical augering or hydro jetting, depending on what's causing the backup.
What's the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting?
A cable auger - or snake - punches through a blockage and restores flow, but it leaves grease, scale, and debris coating the pipe wall. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the line, scrubbing the walls clean so buildup can't quickly reform. For drains that clog repeatedly, hydro jetting is the more thorough fix. A Roto-Rooter technician can assess which method fits your situation.
Roto-Rooter has been in business since 1935. That span represents decades of refining a single diagnostic process - arrive, inspect, identify the root cause, clear the line, and confirm the fix. That process does not vary by location. A technician in New Glarus, WI follows the same structured approach as one anywhere else in the country, because the physics of a blocked drain are the same everywhere.
National scale means consistent standards. Roto-Rooter technicians are uniformed, arrive in marked vehicles, and carry the equipment needed to handle the full range of drain cleaning work - from a simple bathroom sink clog to a main sewer line backup requiring camera inspection and hydro jetting. There is no need to call a different company for a more complex job.
Consistent Diagnostic Process
The first step is always diagnosis, not guessing. Roto-Rooter technicians assess the symptom - slow drain, complete backup, recurring clog, floor drain overflow - and trace it to its source before recommending a method. That approach prevents unnecessary work and avoids treating a symptom while leaving the underlying cause intact.

Drain backups rarely happen at convenient times. Roto-Rooter's 24/7, 365-day availability means a technician can be dispatched for a main line backup at 2 a.m. on a holiday with the same response as a mid-morning call on a weekday. Homeowners in New Glarus, WI do not have to wait until morning to address a drain emergency.
