Minneapolis FAQs

Do you have a 24 hour plumber in Minneapolis? +

Yes. We answer 24/7 for Minneapolis plumbing emergencies like burst pipes, sewer backups and no hot water. Call (763) 296-1844 any time, day or night.

Who is responsible for the sewer line between my house and the street? +

You are. Minneapolis Public Works puts the sanitary sewer service line on the property owner, all the way to and including the connection at the city main. When that line backs up or breaks, it is a private repair. We camera the line, show you the footage, and give you repair and replacement options with the cost of each before anything is dug.

Do you work on older Minneapolis homes? +

Yes. Older Minneapolis houses often still have galvanized supply pipe, cast iron drains and clay tile sewer lines. We repair what can be repaired and quote repiping or line replacement when it cannot.

How much does a plumber cost in Minneapolis? +

It depends on the job, so we price the job before we start it. The plumber looks at the problem, gives you an upfront price, and nothing begins until you say yes.

Why does my basement floor drain smell or back up? +

A floor drain that smells usually has a dry trap, which a cup of water fixes. A floor drain that backs up is usually a clog or roots in the main sewer line, and that needs a plumber. If it happens when the washer drains or someone showers, call us before it gets worse.

Which parts of Minneapolis do you serve? +

All of Minneapolis, from Camden and Northeast to Longfellow, Nokomis and Southwest, plus the suburbs around the city.

More about plumbing in Minneapolis

A Minneapolis plumber who knows the housing stock

Minneapolis has some of the oldest homes in the metro. Bungalows, foursquares and duplexes from the early 1900s still line most neighborhoods, and the plumbing inside them has been patched by several generations of owners. The same problems show up again and again: galvanized pipe that has closed down to a trickle, cast iron drains that crack along the bottom, and clay tile sewer lines with tree roots growing through the joints.

Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing handles all of it, from a single clogged drain to a full repipe or sewer line replacement. You get an upfront price before any work begins, and a plumber who cleans up after the job.

Sewer lines are on the homeowner in Minneapolis

The city maintains the sewer main under the street. The service line from your house to that main, including the connection at the main itself, belongs to you. In a city full of mature boulevard trees and decades-old clay pipe, that line is a common source of big repair bills. Warning signs include several drains slowing at once, gurgling toilets, and water coming up through the basement floor drain.

We start with a camera inspection of the sewer line, show you what is down there, and explain whether a sewer line cleaning will do or a repair is needed. If you are curious about the numbers first, read our guide to sewer line replacement cost in Minnesota.

24 hour plumbing in Minneapolis

Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours, and Minneapolis winters make sure of that. A pipe in an exterior wall freezes overnight, a water heater gives out on a Sunday, or the floor drain backs up during a holiday dinner. We answer 24/7. See our emergency plumbing page for what to do while we are on the way.
