Discount Plumbing and Drain Cleaning

Discount Rooter is my new favorite plumber. First to respond to my Yelp quote request, best quote offered, and at my house within a couple hours to fix my clogged basement drain. Tech talked me through every step and gave me helpful tips as well. Great customer service... and got a refrigerator magnet as well. Highly recommend!

They were on time and did quality of work.  Their Rooter pricing seems to be a good deal but the pricing for other plumber work is just normal pricing you can find anywhere.  Their company name would better describe them if it was Discount Rooter and Regular Price Plumbing

I am so happy with the service I received from Discount Plumbing.  I got an appointment day of, the plumber called me in the 1st hour of the 3 hour window I was given and he came a half an hour later. I ended up needing a new garage disposal, so he went and picked one up, came back and installed it all within an hour and a half.  Very quick and professional

One month ago, I called Discount Plumbing to snake my mainline.  A guy came out, spent an hour and a half complaining about how hard it was to snake my mainline and how he should be charging me more for it.  Then, yesterday, my mainline backed up again.  I called another company based on a neighbor's recommendation and had the job done right. (Discount plumbing used a much smaller auger than the latest sewer cleaner.)  Also, Discount said they would send a person out to put a camera in the mainline, but no one ever showed up once the appointment was scheduled.  I will definitely not be using this company again and do not recommend them to anyone else.

Chris came out today to unclog my bathroom sink...he was courteous, professional and a pure pleasure to work with.
It's so hard to find a good contractor and/ or plumber, but these guys are the best!
I've had plenty of bad experiences, but I'm sticking with these guys for life and so should you!
Much appreciated and thanks again Chris and everyone at Discount Plumbers!

Our fourth visit and very responsive with getting quick appointments for any plumbing need. We have had two toilet repairs and one install

Certified plumbers with experience and polite.
They work varied shifts to meet the needs of homeowners

Today was a call for leaky outside faucet now we know was from about 1985 and welded on

It was not repairable so we replaced it. Fair pricing; look for on line coupons and senior discounts.
Kyle and  William worked with me to get a great price; apply my discounts and today our golden faucet is priceless.

Our new faucet can be unscrewed and easily replaced. We tested it and wa-la. No leaks, fits my expandable hose and my plants thank you!

Grant came masked which we liked. Our kitchen line was clogged below the basement floor. He worked at it until it was unplugged and charged what was quoted on the phone. It was a very stressful situation and they fixed it right up.

The friendly service person arrived promptly, masked, etc. for Covid which was reassuring. He tried to clear my drain but was not successful and suspected the clog was beyond the 50 feet his reemer could reach (I have VERY long drain pipe). He suggested that he return and pressure wash the pipe which would cost in total around $900 and then suggested that the pipe would need to be replaced (it's imbedded in the concrete floor) which would run about $11,000. None of this was high pressure sales talk - just options.

I phoned another company which came out with a 75 foot reemer and succeeded in clearing the drain pipe.

I also read up on replacing galvanized pipe in concrete flooring. It sounds like old pipe can simply be abandoned and new drain pipe put in behind a baseboard or somewhere hidden but not imbedded in the floor. MUCH LESS COSTLY.

We had reached out to a different well known plumbing service in the TC area that had someone out to look at our bathtub drain clog. They told us they would need to replace the drum trap and some pipes and wanted to charge us almost $1,000 to fix our clogged drain. They still charged us $90 just to come out and look at it without even attempting to snake the drain.

So! We reached out to this company instead and they sent Grant out to fix it. He was so persistent at fixing a really tough clog, it took him several hours but they still charged the same price and he got the job done for a mere fraction of the other company. I'm so thankful we called these guys and only wish we had reached out to them first!

Our first discount plumbing experience was absolutely wonderful! Of course, it would be great to meet them under different circumstances, but that's the joy of home ownership!

Two nights ago, I walked into the main floor bathroom and noticed the tub full of dirty, black water. Ugh. We plumed it enough to get it to drain, snaked and dumped whatever drain chemicals down. Problem... not solved.

After showering this morning, the tub was filled with orange, rusty looking water. At least it smelled like my shampoo, if that's a silver lining.

Called Discount Plumbing right away and they showed up within a few hours. Even as an emergency response, they were reasonably priced! The tech was quick to fix it, and talked through some options to prevent clogs like this in the future.

All in all, I strongly recommend!

Chris was Great, very polite and great with my big scary dog. She can be a bit intimidating and he took it in stride like a champ. Did the work, cleaned up the mess and gave me advice on avoiding issues in the future. Greatly appreciated and recommended! Thank You Chris and Discount Plumbing and Drains!

Their web site says free estimates.  Don't believe it!  They have a trip charge.  How convenient.  I got a verbal estimate of $1400 plus tax to replace shower faucets (valve assembly).  I said I was going to get another bid; so the WRITTEN ESTIMATE was over $1600.  What a rip.

My first experience with Discount was good. It was so good that I called them again when we had a plumbing problem.
Today, my experience was terrible. We were quoted a high price, and it came with an attitude. I'll be looking elsewhere.

It is the worst feeling in the world to walk into your basement and to be in standing water from your main drain backing up. We called Discount Plumbing for the first time and wow were we ever impressed! They were able to come immediately! They were more affordable than anyone else and that didn't mean sacrificing professionalism and knowledge to have an affordable service provided! Cory was our technician and he was so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend Discount plumbing enough! We will definitely be calling them again in the future. It puts your mind at ease knowing you have a good plumber in your back pocket. Especially when you own an old home. Thank you!

Kyle came out same day to unclog my main drain. Huge help, gave good advice on water heater and went above and beyond. Really good value, will def be using these guys for all future plumbing needs.

This company is highly rated and has competitive pricing compared to the other guys.

We had a couple of hiccups - which can happen with any company, and they were very fast to fix the issues and solve the plumbing issues I had.

I would recommend using this company for their competitive pricing and excellent work!

We had a sewer line cleaning and camera done by Discount Plumbing in March 2020. They came in and did their job, but afterwards we noticed that we had a drip in the main water supply line which sits a few inches away from the sewer access point. The leak was not there before the sewer line cleaning. When I took a closer look at the source of the leak and touched the pipe, the pipe burst, and we had water flooding our basement without a way to turn it off (the pipe break was near the basement floor next to the sewer access and before our main water shut off valve). It was terrifying. It took 45 minutes for the city of Minneapolis to get to our house and shut off water from the street, but by then we had 5 inches of standing water in our basement. This ended up costing us many thousands of dollars to fix the broken plumbing and dry out our basement, not to mention the trauma of the water blasting out of the broken pipe and inconvenience of not having water for a few days. The company we hired to repair the main water line also believed it was highly likely that the pipe was damaged during the cleaning. Their sloppy work with the cleaning tools and camera cost us a lot of money and I absolutely will not be using Discount Plumbing in the future.

Had a drain clog that could not be accessed to run clean-out.  4 feet of metal pipe was removed and replaced with pvc pipe with clean-out.  Line was then cleared.  In addition to the base charge of $169 for drain clear and 50 feet clean-out, the placement of 4 feet of pvc with clean-out access cost an additional $300, for a total of $469.  A non-discount plumbing company has stated this should not have been in excess of $250.  Total job was accomplished within one hour, on-site.

They came over and barely looked at my sink and faucet the quoted me $500 to fix it and said it'll take an hour or two. I found a YouTube tutorial on basic faucet fixes and went to Home Depot to get the parts I needed. All in all I spent $80 and 30 minutes to fix the problem. I have zero previous experience fixing plumbing so I was extremely annoyed.

Fastest reply when I really needed a plumber. Brian was courteous, efficient and spelled out exactly what he was doing, what he needed to do and how much it all cost, up front. I would use Discount Rooter again, no doubt. Worth every discounted penny spent!! Thank you!

All I can say for this business is that my experience was FANTASTIC!!!  I have been in my home for almost 22 years and had several different jobs done, including plumbing and have never been so pleased, as I was with the work done by Clint.  He had to remove a difficult clog in addition to repairing some damage done by another company, which attempting to do what Clint did so well!  Clint also laid down protection/coverings and did not leave any kind of mess for this 77 year old Senior to clean up!

Had Discount Rooter and Plumbing come to do a mainline rooting due to backup when heavy water use (like spinning out a load of laundry, or draining a bathtub).   Tech couldn't get thru to the street with a 6 blade, wouldn't step down to a smaller blade to try either. Said I should have a camera inspection but he didn't have a camera. Had them come back later in the week for a camera inspection which showed roots.   They quoted me $6,000 to fix the area, or $12,000 to fix and run a liner or $15,000 if they had to dig at the street.   I called Ron the Sewer Rat for a 2nd opinion and they came and ran a 6 blade to the street in about 5 minutes, pulling back a nice wad of roots.   He ran it two more times to the street and back clean. He detected no grit or sand (which might indicate a significant crack or break that is letting in dirt or sand).    I think Discount Rooter and Plumbing just wanted to sell me a sewer line repair. I'm sure they will disagree, but they sure did a sloppy job and didn't have the adequate equipment to get this done in one call.        Do yourself a favor and if you use Discount be sure to get a 2nd opinion if they want to do any additional work, or if they don't do what you hired them to do.    Won't use them again...

They are timely, efficient and very reasonably priced. Called them at 10am and they sent someone out by 2pm. He even put things back and cleaned up after himself. Great customer service!
