Best Drain Installation in Minneapolis MN

I called Ouverson Sewer & Water in a panic yesterday. The woman who answered the phone listened to my story about another company pressuring me to make a fast decision about two, very expensive repairs.

At first, she told me that they are a small family owned business and that they fit their camera scope appointments in when they could,  between other paying appointments.  When I called back a half hour later, she spoke to me woman to woman and said it infuriates her to see people trying to take advantage of women and that she was going to make sure that someone would make it to my house that day (yesterday).

The Ouverson Sewer & Water Technician was at my house for maybe 15 mintues total. Within five minutes he had easily pushed his camera through a toilet paper clog that the first company had showed me an insisted was impassable.

Ouverson Sewer & Water charged me nothing, their technician (Matt) showed me that the water was draining through the pipe with ease and potentially saved me $7500 / $8500 that the other company was trying to fleece.

Ouverson Sewer & Water came highly recommended. I hope that you never need them, but if you do, you can bet they will be honest.

Called to schedule appointment for problem with kitchen drain.  I live less than two miles from their office.  Was first told I was out of area and I attempted to explain that I lived nearby.  Then put on hold a total of three times and the person still couldn't understand that I wasn't many miles away.  She wanted to put me on hold again, but I told her that if she couldn't find an address two miles or less from their office, then I wouldn't trust them with plumbing issues.  Horrible!

The best and most reliable plumber.  We have used Pat for several jobs and he has become like family.   Reliable and reasonable.

I called Chris as well as 6 other plumbers on a Sunday and he was the only one who called me back within 10 minutes.   He came within 90 minutes and was extremely thorough.  I felt his prices were fair, especially given it was a weekend.  I would highly recommend him for any plumbing job you need.

After my regular drain cleaning guy cleaned the roots out of my main sewer line twice this year and noticed that I had a couple of cracked pipes I got a few estimates for repair or relining. Ben ran his camera down my line and came up with a very good quote for relining the line all the way to the main line in the street. His bid was less than the quote I had for digging up my front lawn and replacing a few feet of pipe. This repair will outlive me and I shouldn't ever have to have the line cleaned out again. The guys showed up on time and were done and packed up in 6 hours, did a great job and provided a video for my records. I highly recommend these guys for relining which will fix the problems for good, instead of cleaning and piecemeal fixes that will cost much more in the long run. We had a great two man crew who were great at explaining what they were doing. Thanks!!!

Amazing service #4348 Josh Came out to fix my backed up floor drain on Christmas day after I had another plummer come out and do nothing then charge my wife for the work that he did not do. Josh was professional and and knew what he was doing and had my drain working in no time. I would recommend Roto Rooter to anyone who needs a drain fixed. Saved me so much trouble after having so much water on the floor and almost having to cancel the party.
Thanks Josh #4348

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!

We had Bruckmueller Plumbing install the water line on our new refrigerator, and install our new dishwasher and garbage disposal. He was very professional and did an excellent job!

Quick reply, short wait for the appointment, great professional Todd. Thrilled to finally have spigots and a hose in the front and back. Todd was consultative and instructive. Pricing was very fair on a T&M basis and half the quote of some other fixed price vendors. Can't say enough great things about this company and wonderful experience!

Had a clogged kitchen sink. They were at my house 30 min after I called. Service was very good. Snaked the drain and verified it was cleared and that there were no problems with other plumbing down the line. Price was a little high but probably within the average. So overall good value and will likely call them again if I need a plummer.

Sometimes in life one finds oneself with a broken water pipe on a Sunday night, in the middle of a pandemic, mere hours before a house inspection that could make or break a sale.  Surely, I thought, it would be impossible to find a plumber who would be willing to come on such short notice, who'd have the knowledge and experience to do the job, and who wouldn't charge an absolute fortune.  

But as fate would have it, I found Steve @ Hibernian and my plumbing emergency actually turned out to be a positive experience.  He clearly knew exactly what he was doing and he had the expertise, equipment, and strength to get the job done well.  What's more, he was pleasant, professional, and personable... and he was completely fair in his pricing (even with the circumstances).  

I highly recommend Hibernian Plumbing.

I hired Plumb Right to bring my dishwasher plumbing up-to-code and ended up repiping my house.  I appreciated the free estimate, going over my options in detail, and the job done.  Devon was easy to work with, friendly and confident.  I did find a small leak after the installation, but I called and had an appointment scheduled the same day and it was free of charge.  It is great to have better water pressure and a functioning dishwasher!  I would definitely recommend Plumb Right.

The owner, Matt, did an excellent job. He was very professional, took the time to answer questions, and was very punctual. Both visits he said he would be there at 9AM and both times he was exactly on-time. In the past I have called the bigger guys with flashy vans and been left waiting...and waiting...and eventually the 2 hour window turns into more like three or four hours.

I will be using Matt and his team for all my plumbing needs in the future!

Finally had enough of the shower turning into a bath mid-way through washing my hair, and decided that something must be done. One week and a failed experiment in DIY plumbing later, I decided that something ELSE must be done, and that it would involve a professional.

Google brought me to Augie. His website was informative and, given the option, I'll usually go with a local small business. However, when I called, the recording on the other end of the line told me he was away fulfilling his obligation with the National Guard. I certainly couldn't fault him for that, but the clog had only been getting worse, and this could not wait. Dejectedly, I called a big chain drain-cleaning company, navigated the phone tree, and got put on hold twice, when a familiar number popped back up on my screen--Auggie called me back. He was free. He wanted to clean my drain. Things were starting to turn around.

He showed up promptly, right when he said he would, even though it was the weekend. Super-friendly. He quickly diagnosed and solved the problem, even with my old pipes, even though I had the type of trap he was hoping I didn't. He even gave me some advise about insulting my pipes and whatnot. Nice guy. Doesn't take credit cards. No big deal.

In conclusion: An absolute pleasure to do business with.

I didn't know who to call so I took a random guess. Had an outstanding experience with this company. Nate was awesome. We got our new water line in hassle free and very affordable.  I will definitely use them again when needed. Great job!

Tech commented CONSTANTLY on items in our home, literally flashing flashlight on various objects in the dark. It was SO BAD that it was like he was casing our home. We felt like we were dealing with an intruder as opposed to a service tech. And we don't live in Kenwood.

Really!

If our house gets broken into we KNOW PRECISELY WHERE THE POLICE SHOULD START!!!

We had a sump that tech was supposed to be addressing. But in the 2 hours he spent here literally asking to see this and that from the laundry room, furnace room, master bathroom, kitchen, commenting on all this additional stuff we needed to add or replace because our softener was no good, we needed a thing on the water heater, the pressure was too high so add device for that ... JUST WENT ON AND ON!!!

I came to my senses after he left AND CANCELLED the job. He was SUPPOSED to have a sump/parts in his van per my conversation the day before with employee while setting up service call. They knew they were coming for the sump, so why no replacement sump???

My take on this entire 2 hour waste of time is that this MORON comes into your home to scare the shit out of you about all possible plumbing disasters so that by the time he leaves your on the hook for 2.5k, 3k, 5k+++. And I'll wager that he does none of the plumbing work ... he's just a car salesman.

The irony of this entire shitshow is that the well for the sump was bone dry and probably can be left as is.

1 STAR is being generous. These guys suck!

made appt for furnace tune up 2 months in advance the day of appt I called to find out what time they would be here and they would have to reschedule again for the 3rd year in a row. I will never call them again!

Full disclosure Sabre advertises on our podcast and that's one of the reasons we started using them.  Our previous hvac co couldn't figure out what was wrong with our furnace and kept wanting to put in s new system. Sabre fixed our furnace and we didn't have to install a new system!   They do a great job and come out promptly.     Highly recommend.

Needed some plumbing work done on the shower and had no water in the entire house due to no shutoff valve. I called SNS in the morning and was told I would be contacted by someone. Three hours later I called back after not hearing from anyone and was told someone would call me in fifteen minutes. Two hours later I called for the third time and said I still had not heard back. I was told that it would be mentioned I had called three times and someone would get back to me. No one ever called to see if they could help. I had read good reviews on this company but did not have a good experience on my first attempt.

In early May 2022, our sewage line backed-up in our basement. I had a few plumbing companies come out for assessments. Dean's came out for an assessment of the line and I agreed with their assessment of replacing the sewage line. However the salesman was very braggadocious about how much money he was saving me and how he can work out a deal for me. Very gross salesman tactics that were obvious and not well performed. I only went with Dean's because I agreed with the plan not because the salesman sold me on how good of a deal I was getting.
Part of his long-winded deal he was giving me was that it would cost ~$1750 to remove and replace 1 segment of city sidewalk or street curb section. He spend 5 minutes going over how much money he was saving me because their digger was the best in state. He marked out 4 sections that would have to be removed by a regular digger, but his guy could do it and only remove 1 section, saving me ~$5000. I then went over it again with him because I wanted to make sure that when they actually did the job, they didn't end up removing more sections than the 1 section the salesmen said his digger could do it in and then now I have an extra charge of ~$1750. He said nope, only one section will be removed.
I was not home when the pipe replacement happened. However when I got home I noticed no sections of sidewalk had been removed. I thought, well they must have the best digger in the state then! But I had still paid for the sidewalk replacement, so if the cost I was quoted was ~$1750 to remove and replace a sidewalk, why did I pay for that when no sidewalk was replaced. So I called for an adjustment. After a discussion with the customer service, they said they would be back in touch with me. Later that week I got a call back with an adjustment of $700. That's not even half of the quoted value for sidewalk replacement. I said that was not enough back and they said they would see what they could do and I would receive a call back.
No call back. After 2 weeks of no calls, I called back, spoke with their answering service and I was told I would receive a call the next day. No call the next day. I called back 6 or 7 times in a month and a half and did not receive my call back until July. Each time I was promised a call back the next day and never got one until I had to get very short and heated with the call service and made them promise me I would get a call back from the manager.
I finally just got off the call with the manager and she said there was nothing else the could do for me. She said the price is the price and the only adjustment would be the $700. So I told her her salesman lied to me and she said he didn't. I said, so you agreed there should be an adjustment ($700) but that wasn't the cost I was told. So either they are keeping $1000 for no reason, or the salesman lied to me. She had nothing to respond to that other than, there won't be any further adjustment to the price.
Very frustrating experience, I feel like they took my money and ran hoping I wouldn't put up a fuss about it. I will never use Dean's again and will never recommend them to anyone. I just pray they did the job right and didn't replace my pipes with plastic straws from McDonald's or something.
