"He went beyond what he was here for. He crawled under my house to make sure my toilet was not leaking. He took pictures of my other pipes under the house. Gave me some recommendations . Then proceeded to reset my toilet and seal it. He then cleaned up my bathroom floor. Very knowledgeable man"

"The tankless water heater in the hotel we manage went down on July 3 2024. We have a wedding party coming in on July 5. All the plumbers near us either don't service our town or were not working because of the Holiday. Our small town of LaPorte does not have a population big enough to support a full time plumber. We eventually found our way to Angie's List and Plumb Crazy Plumbing responded. Vincent agreed to come to our town from Magalia 72 miles away...normally. There was a fire burning in Oroville that was blocking the shortest path. The new route added another 15 miles to the trip. Vincent arrived at 7PM and worked diligently until 10PM. Vincent returned on July 4th, yes on a holiday, and completed the Job. Vincent's work is clean and he took the time to explain about the new tankless water heater and answered our question. We appreciate Vincent and his company Plumb Crazy Plumbing. He is our plumber of choice . Thank you Vincent for going above and beyond"

I’m Sedrick a maintenance technician currently working in off-campus student housing, where I handle a wide range of day-to-day repairs and upkeep to keep units and common areas running smoothly. My background includes maintenance roles at three hotels as well as apartment communities, so I’m very comfortable working in fast-paced environments where quality and quick turnaround both matter. Over time, I’ve built solid experience with general repairs, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance across plumbing, electrical, and basic carpentry. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and getting the job done right the first time. Right now, I’m looking to take on small to medium-sized projects where I can put my skills to use, whether that’s repairs, installations, or general maintenance work

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary. 

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.
