"Night Owl was quick to respond and be on site. We had a a leaking cast iron 4" sanitary line and a clogged pipe (problems with a 140 year old house!). Raiden was quick to review, get back with an estimate, and fast to start the job. Not an easy job due to old construction and restricted space to work. We removed all the old cast iron drain pipe that ran in the basement with PVC, and also the drains up to the downstairs sink and toilet . He was easy to work with, the job was done professionally and in a reasonable timeframe. The sanitary drain was cleaned all the way out to the village pipes. I would not hesitate to hire him for any plumbing issues."

"J & J Plumbing installed a ductless AC/heater in our back room, and we couldn’t be happier. Even after an incredibly stressful morning (Josh’s truck was stolen from our driveway) he and his crew still completed the job! They were kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I would give them 10 stars if I could; they deserve it!"

"They went above and beyond what was necessary to fix my problem. They were careful when digging so as not to break any other underground lines or disturb the insulation outside my basement wall. They also did a descent job of landscaping afterwards, and were good at cleaning up after themselves. They are a top notch outfit in my opinion. I would hire them again if necessary without a second thought."

Sewer Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

There is conflicting advice on whether to leave a baking soda and vinegar mixture in a drain overnight. Some sources suggest it can be effective for tough clogs, recommending that you flush the drain with warm water in the morning as part of a monthly cleaning routine. However, other experts advise against leaving the mixture in for extended periods, as its caustic nature could corrode drainpipes if used too often or left in for too long.

Yes, many services include camera inspections to identify the cause of the blockage. Confirm with your provider.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

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.”

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.
