Leak Detection & Repair

Hidden leak? Sky-high water bill? We’ll track down leaks fast using advanced tools - no guesswork or tearing up your walls for nothing. Once we find it, our licensed plumbers fix it right the first time, so you can stop worrying about wasted water and surprise damage.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Backing up, gurgling, or draining slower every week? We camera the line first so you know what is actually down there, then clear the blockage rather than guessing at it.

Sewer Line Repairs

A cracked or root-invaded sewer line is a health hazard, not just an inconvenience. We locate the damaged section and repair it, including trenchless options that leave your yard alone.

Learn more

Sewer Line Replacement

When a line is too far gone to patch, we replace it end to end with upfront pricing agreed before anyone digs. Trenchless replacement is available on most properties.

Burst & Frozen Pipe Repair

Minnesota winters split pipes. We thaw the ice pressure, stop the leak at its source, and get water moving again the same day, with the price agreed before we start.

Drain & Sewer Repiping

Aging drain and sewer lines backing up again and again? Our Northern plumbers replace failing drain and sewer piping, in sections or end to end, so waste leaves the house the way it should.

Signs You Need This Service

Don't wait for a failure. Watch for these critical warning signs that your plumbing system is struggling.

Root invasions

Our hydrojetting service blasts out roots and stubborn blockages without damaging your pipes - a common issue in older Minneapolis neighborhoods with mature trees.

Frozen or cracked pipes

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause hidden leaks or pipe bursts. We use advanced leak detection to find and fix problems before they turn into flooded basements or high water bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of drain and sewer problems do you help with? +
We help Twin Cities homeowners with common drain and sewer issues such as slow drains, recurring clogs, backups, odors, and concerns with main sewer lines. The right solution depends on what’s happening inside the system, which we determine through professional evaluation.
How can I tell if the problem is a drain or the main sewer line? +
If one fixture is affected, the issue is often limited to that drain. When multiple sinks, toilets, or floor drains are backing up at once, the problem may involve the main sewer line. This is a common issue in older Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods with shared or aging sewer connections.
Are slow drains something Twin Cities homeowners should address right away? +
Yes, especially if the problem keeps coming back. Persistent slow drains often signal buildup or blockage deeper in the system. Addressing it early can help prevent backups.
What causes drain and sewer problems in this area? +
In the Twin Cities, drain and sewer issues are often caused by aging pipes, grease and debris buildup, tree root intrusion, and shifting soil. Freeze–thaw cycles and seasonal ground movement can also stress sewer lines over time.
Do drain and sewer issues ever become emergencies? +
They can. Untreated problems may lead to sewage backups, water damage, or loss of usable plumbing. This is especially important for homes with finished basements, which are common throughout the Twin Cities.
Do you work on older plumbing systems common in Minneapolis and St. Paul? +
Yes. Many homes in the area still rely on older drain and sewer systems. Our plumbers are experienced working with both older materials and newer systems, and we tailor solutions based on the home’s age and condition.
When should I call a professional instead of waiting? +
You should call a plumber if drains clog repeatedly, multiple fixtures are affected, water backs up into floor drains, or you notice sewer odors. These signs often indicate an issue that won’t resolve without professional service.
