Best Emergency Services in Minneapolis MN

I have had Marvel our twice to 2 different properties.  Performed great inspections and cleaning of sewer line.  They provided a detailed video of the inspection and are very knowledgeable to answer any questions.  Would highly recommend.

We have worked both personally and professionally with Erickson and highly recommend them for all plumbing,heating, and electrical issues!

I contacted Mike to clear my kitchen drain which had backed up. I was able to schedule an appointment the next day. He was terrific! On time, meticulous, polite. I had been referred to another company but wanted to get some other quotes. Mike was almost half the cost of others. I very rarely write reviews but want to support this business.
Hire him- you will not be disappointed.

Our pipe was leaking through the top floor bathroom and into our office area on the first floor. We needed emergency services and Hibernian was there. He showed up on time, had the right PVC piping to solve the problem, and fixed our issue. He was engaging and so helpful! The price was much less than anticipated. He saved our 4th of July weekend! Amazing professionalism, fun conversation, and our new go to plumber! Will be recommending him to all our friends!

John's Sewer and Drain were excellent, excellent, excellent. It was great to work with such a great company with great values. 100% would recommend them.

We thought we had a line problem. They came the same day we called. Then, when became clear it wasn't a line problem and we needed to call an appliance repairperson, our technician didn't charge us at all for the 30 min service call. Once we realized it was our dishwasher and our tech had left, he came back a few minutes later because he thought of something small that might help us fix the problem, even though it wasn't the drain. He was so awesome.

We've been given inflated, outrageous invoices from other repair companies in South Minneapolis--partially, I think because as the person who works from home and meets them, they like to take advantage because I'm a woman. We would have been happy to pay for his time, so it was great to get a fair price and even more awesome that we didn't get charged at all.

Our Kitchen faucet recently broke and needed to be replaced.  After trying to remove it myself, I couldn't get it out so I called another plumbing company to come out and do the work.  Not only did they try to up-sell several different fixes / services, but their estimate was well over $1,000 because they insisted that the valves needed to be replaced before they would change out the faucet.

I called BP Mechanical after telling the other company to get out and Kirsten in the office worked their schedule out so that they could be there the same day.  Both Pat and Kirsten were very friendly and easy to work with and had the job done in less than an hour!   Their rate was 1/10th of what the other company quoted me for the same amount of work.  Knowing that someone like them is in the same city as I am and VERY reliable, I will never call anyone else for any plumbing needs going forward.

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.

All-around great service.  Needed a basement drain cleaned after it stopped flowing.  He responded to my text inquiry within 40minutes on a Sunday morning and we scheduled work for the next day.  He was prompt and fixed things in about 30 minutes, including some extra runs down the pipe to make sure it was clean beyond the trap.  We appreciate his thoroughness, politeness, promptness and fair price.  Loved the option of scheduling via text too!

Tyler is personable, responsive and got the work done in a timely manner. I look forward to hiring him again in the future!

Outstanding work from Rescue Sewer & Drain. My home was built in 1947 and Roman repaired a leaking pipe + brought everything else up to code in a day and half. Outstanding work, great service, can't recommend this business enough.

I see a lot of negative reviews here, but I'm glad to report that my experience with Roto-Rooter was good.  (this was after getting over the price quoted to clear a toilet drain)  I removed my toilet before the tech arrived so that saved me a lot of money.  A quick research indicated Roto-Rooter is a little bit on the high side of pricing, but the service I received made up for it.  My tech was Fred #4155 and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided.  He was able to clear a difficult blockage that I failed to unclog myself early that day.  I recently purchased the house and couldn't locate the stack access and we was nice enough to help me. He also gave me advice on how to keep my drains clear.  Lastly, he pointed out that my toilet mount was cracked which saved me a lot of wasted time and effort.  Fred was very nice, efficient and competent.

is it possible to leave a negative rating? I don't live in the area and needed a plumber to replace water heater. Called 1 week in advance to schedule with Holly at PlumbRight. Today, less than 2 hours before they were supposed to arrive, Holly calls to cancel my appointment.

ABSOLUTE UNRELIABILITY. An offer to reschedule is useless; I have zero confidence the firm has capacity to handle any hiccups.

Paul, the plumber, showed up even earlier than scheduled (after calling first). Had our problem corrected in a short time at what I considered a very fair price. I will use them again (if necessary).

Not honest; once he took his money, did not follow up on work that wasn't completed.  Never returned calls, needed to call another plumber to start over;  wasted $800.

This company attempts to take advantage of the elderly. They gave my parents a quote for almost 6k for a new ac unit. They told them it was shot because of mouse problems. They called another company and they repaired it for $140.00. Do not call these incompetent fools for any reason. The friendly voice when you initially call is a con that will cost you a fortune. Heed my warning! You will forever regret this mistake.

I asked three HVAC contractors for estimates to run ductwork from a new range hood through my roof. The range hood that I had planned on purchasing had a CFM range from 350 to 900. Service Today sent a technician out to give me an estimate to do the work. I mentioned that I had heard that the maximum CFM allowed was 300, according to the City. Service Today, after looking at my furnace room, assured me that putting a 900 CFM unit in would be no problem, and gave me a quote to do the venting. As they were cheaper, by quite a bit, and seemed professional. The second contractor said that I could not install a hood with the 900 CFM rating. At this point I called The range hood company to put a hold on my hood order, as I thought maybe there was some merit to the CFM restrictions. I also called Service Today and spoke with Ashley. I told her my concerns and that I was holding the range hood order. I asked her to check with the city to make sure their work was according to code and that it would pass inspection. She said she would find out and get back with me. After a few phone calls and messages to her, I finally  received a return phone call, assuring me that this would pass inspection through the city of Lino Lakes. With this information, I gave the go ahead on my range hood order and set up an appointment with Service Today to start the work. Two service people arrived on time to do the work. However, they were confused as what they were to do. When I mentioned that they were to install venting through the roof, they told me that they were only there to mount the range hood to the wall and they were not authorized to work on the roof. After a lengthy conversation between the crew and their office, they told me they would schedule a different company to do the roof and venting work. So, they installed the hood only. They were sitting and standing on my range while installing the hood. (later I would find that the oven wouldn't work, assuming  they were responsible for this)Service Today then contacted me to explain that the person who came out to give me the estimate had left the company, explaining the he was disgruntled with the company, They also explained that they weren't even sure what work needed to be completed. I explained that I needed 8 metal ductwork to be installed that would run from my hood through the roof and capped off. They said that would have a hard time doing this at the price I was quoted, but would complete the work, so they scheduled a roofing company to come out. When the roofing company arrived, they mentioned they were here to put in PVC piping, not metal ductwork for venting a range hood, so they left. At this point I was more than annoyed with Service Today, called them to tell them about my dilemma and that my oven was no longer working, as well. They apologized, and said they would get back with me.. After a couple of days, they called me to tell me they could not do the work, wanted to refund my $70 estimate and that they would pay the oven repair bill. They did refund my $70. I am not holding them responsible for the oven repair, as the Wolf technician assured me that it was not caused by the idiots that though it was a good idea to stand on top of my range. I can understand a disgruntled employee giving me incorrect information. What I would like to find out is the reasoning behind Ashley's lying to me regarding contacting the City of Lino Lakes building inspector and assuring me this was acceptable. She is not a disgruntled employee, as far as I know, and is still employed by Service Today. I now have an expensive range hood that I cannot use because of her. The cost to repair the oven was actually more than the cost of the range hood, but it would not be right to expect them to pay for this. Finally, I called to speak to the owner, regarding my dissatisfaction. I was told that he would contact me within 48 hours. That was 5 days ago.

Hi Mark, we are sorry to hear that you did not have a great experience. We would love for you to give us a call and let us know what we can do to make your experience better or how we can resolve any concerns you may have!

In response to your response:
Please read my review before responding. If you had, you would be aware that I did reach out to Kent Boll 5 days ago and have not heard back.  Would you like for me to call again?

Before I begin, I want to say that I have a unique situation. When my house was built (far before I bought it) they decided not to make room for a furnace inside the house. Instead, they opted to go with a furnace/air conditioner combo unit on the outside of the house.

My existing combo unit died in 2013. I hired Sabre Heating & Plumbing to install a new unit. On the installation day (Friday, December 20, 2013), I should have realized that Sabre was not the company I should have gone with. I was at work when they installed it. When I returned home, I tried to turn on the furnace but it would not turn on. I decided to look around the new unit to see if there was a power switch or button. I couldn't find one but instead found a pair of fuses just sitting on top of the unit and two wires coming out of the ground, neither attached to anything (see included images). I told them what I saw and the next day they came out and fixed it. Strangely, I did not see the fuses or wires poking out of the ground later.

To protect my investment, I signed up for their Sabre Blue Maintenance Plan. For $300/year, a technician would come out twice a year to make sure the unit was running correctly. For the first few years, everything seemed to be working just fine. I believed that when they came out for the biannual checkup that they were doing a thorough inspection of the unit. Also, since there were different technicians who came out over the years, if one technician missed something then the next one would probably catch it (or so I thought).

Things started to go wrong in the summer of 2018. At the beginning of August 2018, the air conditioner was not cooling my house so I had them come out. I looked back in my email and all I could find was a charge for $106.25. I don't delete emails so I was surprised to find no work order. On 8/16/2018, there was another charge for $108.00 to replace an ARMOD. On 10/11/2018, again my combo unit was having issues and I was charged another $125.00 for a trip fee. Next year on 8/22/2019, I again needed them to come out and repair my unit. This time at $234.00 and again with no work order so that I could not trace back what they did. One month later on 9/20/2019 they had to come out again. This time to replace the TXV at $433.89. The sheer number of issues with my unit should lead me to believe that these $300/year biannual checkups were either not being done or being done by untrained technicians.

This leads to the most recent issue. On 2/4/2020, I noticed my furnace making a loud whirring noise. On the following day, it stopped producing heat. The technician who came out replaced the inducer motor. I asked what I could do to prevent this going forward and he told me that sometimes they just seize up. He got the furnace working but I noticed that there was barely any air pressure coming out of the vents. I was happy the furnace was working so I just let it run for the night. I woke up cold at 3:00 am and saw that the temperature in my house was 56 degrees. I called Sabre again the next day and informed them that the furnace would run for 20 minutes and then shut off. They sent a different technician the following day. After working on it for a number of hours the technician told me that furnace was overheating and that a safety switch was turning it off. I asked him what could be causing it to overheat and he replied: I don't know. He told me that he would increase the high limit so that the overheating would not shut off the furnace. I didn't like this answer so, for the first time, I decided to call another HVAC company, Blue Ox. Within 20 minutes the Blue Ox technician discovered that the evaporator coil was completely blocked by dirt and dust. The reason why it was overheating was that no air was coming through the intake and the motor was trying extra hard to suck in air. In addition to this, the Blue Ox technician noticed that the exhaust vent was still taped inside the furnace where the evaporator coil was. The Sabre technicians who installed the furnace didn't know or even bother to inspect the unit after they had installed it (hence the random fuses and bare wires). Since this exhaust vent had been in there since the installation, it meant that no Sabre technicians had bothered to look at the evaporator coil, not on the numerous times they came out to fix the unit or on the many biannual checkups. In addition, these experts rarely offered solutions and were not even curious as to what the underlying issues were. This makes me believe that they are either severely under-trained, extremely lazy, or unethical. Any way you cut it, it is a good reason to go with someone besides Sabre.

Made an appointment and got a confirmation email and text. Then a reminder email and text the day of the appointmen. Waited around for 2 hours just in case they were running way behind, never showed up or got a phone call. Decided to do the same and go with someone else.

Was terrible, from not showing up first day to being late .. He knew I had a home warranty, they were the ones that found him.  He knew the rules.
This process took over a month to get resolved, He finally came out to the house and told me I had 3 leaks under my kitchen sink.  After numerous attempts from myself and the home warranty to get the $$ for fixing the problems he finally came back with a cost of:
$717 for the kitchen faucet (I told him no, I bought one myself and had it installed)
$225.00 garbage disposal
$184.00 old garbage disposal (I could of thrown this away myself after looking at the invoice)
$115.00 piping repair.
The day the problems were corrected he told me to pay bill in full and that he wasn't dealing with the home warranty company and that if I didn't pay him he was charging me an additional $160 per hour. I paid him as I wanted them out of my house.  All this took place while I had the home warranty on the phone explaining to him they would be issuing him a check that very day!  But Jason from Big River Plumbing, didn't care! my after thought were I should of called the police and had them removed from my property.  
Then Jason had the nerve to send me an email thanking me for their business and wished me a 'blessed' day.. Really?!?!?

Save your headaches! this problem took over a month to get resolved.  Don't use them for any projects!!!

Look, I don't know how one more negative review of these people is going to make a difference, but for what it's worth, they're pushy, condescending, and keen to make as much money off you as they can. They insisted that my main sewer line was blocked badly enough that it needed excavation. When I mentioned that another company suggested just trying to get the line cleaned again, they got downright hostile: You're BLOCKED. As far as I'm concerned this is damaged pipe! Oh, and my favorite: I don't know HOW you're not already backed up. (Sir, do you think I'm...lying to you about not being backed up?? Nah, you're just trying to make me nervous.) I got a regular cable cleaning from Cardinal Services, which cleared out the tree root culprits and confirmed my pipe is in totally fine shape. Try at least one specialized local company before you resort to Dean's.
