Our team is dedicated to providing our clients with the very best in service, installation, and repair for all phases of your plumbing needs. We specialize in a variety of residential and commercial services and take pride in the attention to detail put into each of the projects we're involved with. We're known for our quality work and the integrity of our business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients, and guarantee your satisfaction.

"Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Yelp!! Paid $1700 to unclog the main sewer line, then was ignored when trying to contact them. Mike showed up and got sewer line flowing, but as this was a recurring problem, I asked them to diagnose the damage for a full repair quote. They sent a camera to see the damage, but it did not go far, so they started hydro jetting to clear the obstruction which would allow the camera to go further. The hydro jet stopped at the same spot as the camera and I was charged $1700 for it. Quoted over $12000 to do the rest of the work. Ultimately, no additional information other than something is blocking it and we can not see what it is. It is going to cost $12k to get down and fix it. Your bill is $1700 for what we tried to do I called to get a partial refund as the check was cashed immediately, only to be ignored from that point on. I checked Yelp, BBB, and got a second opinion. I was charged 9 times what the work was worth."

Family and locally owned. Cost is determined by the job. Additional phone numbers - (530) 534 - 7773 (Oroville), (530) 877 - 3337 (Paradise / Magalia), (530) 673 - 7773 (Yuba City / Marysville).

"I was charged $985.00 for 1 hour of work and a fitting. I let him know I was recently widowed. After reading the Yelp reviews, this seems to be a pattern of overcharging women. He did give me an estimate which I balked about, he told me there was a lot of digging. I assumed there would be several hours of work. Nope. 1 hour and a fitting. A friend from my Church talked to several plumbers first, then called to complain. Rick told him too bad, I had been given an estimate. He should be ashamed of himself."

We're a local family owned small business specializing in service and repair plumbing. Water heaters, disposals, gas line repair, drain cleaning and all types of plumbing repair is our specialty. Some septic repair as well. We accept cash, check, credit card and paypal. We're located in Magalia and service all of Butte county.

"Dan is the 'real deal'. My husband and I were ready to give up on fixing a converter issue as we had two plumbers out previously via our HO Warranty. They did nothing. Within days, the problem was back again. Dan took time and care and examined all, and when we still had an issue, he was able to pin point it to a simple loose screw. How about that for professionalism? He installed new pipes for a reasonable price. Highly recommend Dan and Plumbline Plumbing."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Professional tools include drain snakes, hydro jets, cameras for line inspection, and enzymatic or chemical cleaners for dissolution.

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

Thankfully, it’s pretty rare to find a rat in your toilet. It’s more likely in larger cities with big sewer systems that can be feeding grounds for rats, but even then, you still shouldn’t fret. 

“I wouldn’t worry too much about rats coming up through the sewers,” Bradshaw says. “I’d say only one out of a thousand rodent customers we get actually have this problem. And of the 20 or some customers that have had this happen, they’ve all only had just one rat come up this way.”

The cost to repair a main sewer line clog is about $3,110 on average. The average cost range is  $1,310 to $4,950, but it can go as low as $215 and as high as $9,300 or more. The cost factors for this repair include the severity of the clog, pipe accessibility, video inspection, removal method, permits, pipe material, labor rates in your area, and time of year. Repairs made from outside during the winter can be more difficult due to the frozen ground or during the spring if the ground is saturated from a lot of rain and snow melt.

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.
