What to expect in a plumbing warranty.
I think we ( Fox Plumbing and Heating ) have the best written warranty's in the industry.
So all of the things I mention whether it is drain cleaning, faucets and fixture replacement. Re- piping, new water services, hot water heaters and new sewer lines. We give written warranties.
Each of these have different Warranty's anything from 6 months to 50 years. So we give these in every job that we do.
But what a consumer should expect is a minimum of one year warranty on any repairs they have done with the exception of drain cleaning. Typically, none of us ( plumbing companies ) can offer more than a 6 month warranty which we do ( Fox Plumbing ) and some companies offer only 30 days. But drain cleaning is a little different situation, when you're doing, re-piping and modernization of plumbing and fixtures you should get a minimum of 12 months on any warranty.

Seattle Sewer Rats In Toilets!
This is no urban legend.
This is pretty interesting video from the Seattle Channel about Seattle's Sewer Rats and the explosion in the rat population this year.
Owning a plumbing service company here in Seattle, I can attest to the fact that rats are unfortunately living in many sewers, both public and private. We often times see where someone has forgotten to re-install a cleanout plug or air tight fitting after cleaning the drain line. This gives easy access to rats. Also, in older sewer systems with deteriorated pipes and fittings, a small hole in the pipe is an easy entrance for vermin. For odor issues, Here at Fox Plumbing, we suggest pouring anything with a strong citrus based cleaning agent down any drains with an odor problem. Its biodegradable, and generally removes the grease and build up causing many of the common odors in drain lines. We use a product called "Citrisolve." It can be diluted 4/1 , and will also help to keep most drains running free and clear with regular use.

Your drains may require more rigorous drain cleaning in some cases.
