Plumbing problems we can help with

Plumber in overalls kneeling beside a tall water heater on a raised base in a garage, tightening a fitting on the copper pipes that run up from it

Emergency plumbing

Sewage coming up through a floor drain, a pipe that has burst inside a wall, water dripping through a light fixture. Problems like these call for help right away, and we connect you with a plumber who stops the water and fixes the pipe.

Water heater repair and installation

Lukewarm water, rust-colored drips near the tank’s base, or a heater that has been through a lot of Minneapolis winters. The plumber you hire can fix it, fit a new tank or hang a tankless unit sized to your household.

Drain cleaning

Kitchen sinks, tub drains, laundry lines and basement floor drains all slow down or stop in time. A plumber clears the clog, and when several drains back up together, the trouble can sit in the main line.

Leak detection and slab leaks

A water bill that jumps, a stain on a ceiling or wet ground in the yard can point to a leak you cannot see. The plumber you hire finds it and repairs the pipe, inside a wall, under a floor or out toward the street.

Sewer line repair

A drain that gurgles, a sewage smell near the floor drain or water backing up in the basement can all trace back to the lateral that carries waste to the street. Depending on what is wrong, it gets cleared, fixed at one point or replaced end to end.

Repiping and water lines

Worn supply pipes can mean rusty water, weak pressure and one leak after another. A repipe replaces the water lines inside the house, and a new service line replaces the pipe that brings water in from the street.

Toilet, faucet and fixture repair

Hissing toilets, a faucet that won’t stop dripping, a shower that turns cold mid-rinse, a disposal stuck mid-grind. Whatever has worn out gets replaced by the plumber you hire, part by part, or the fixture is changed once repairing it stops making sense.

Our process

01

Call and describe the problem

Start with a phone call and tell us what you are seeing, which room or floor it is on and when it started. Those answers tell us which plumber to put you in touch with.

02

Get a free estimate

We talk through the work the job is likely to need and give you a free estimate with no obligation, so you can decide before anyone comes to the house.

03

Set a time for the visit

Once you say yes, we book a time that suits you for a plumber to visit, see the problem first-hand and do the agreed work.

Plumbing licenses and permits in Minneapolis

Minnesota’s Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) licenses plumbing contractors. Any community of more than 5,000 people, Minneapolis included, calls for the full plumbing contractor license, because a restricted contractor cannot take on work there.

The city adds a license of its own. Plumbers working in Minneapolis need a City of Minneapolis plumbing license, and the application has to come with a surety bond on the state’s bond form.

Plumbing permits are issued by the City of Minneapolis through Minneapolis Development Review, not by the state. For a house with one or two dwelling units, the permit application goes in without any plans attached.

Free plumbing tools

The free tools on this site answer a few questions before you pick up the phone. Planning a new water heater? The size calculator gives a tank size or tankless flow, the tankless flow calculator shows the extra work cold Minneapolis water in January asks of a unit, and the serial number decoder dates the heater you already own. For the pipes themselves, the freeze risk checker rates how exposed they are on a Minneapolis winter night, and the sewer line age checker lists the materials that fit the year your house was built.

Frequently asked questions

Is Minneapolis tap water softened?

Yes. The city draws its water from the Mississippi River, filters it at plants in Fridley and Columbia Heights and softens it, taking out 65,000 pounds of hardness every day.

Can I check a plumber’s license myself?

Yes. State law has a plumbing contractor show its name and license number on each side of any vehicle used for licensed plumbing work. Enter that full number as a guest in the Department of Labor and Industry lookup to see the license status, plumbing bond holders and any enforcement actions.
