Best Leak Detection in Minneapolis MN

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.

Our dishwasher needed to be anchored and Tyler got to our home on time and was very pleasant and did a quick and efficient. Would highly recommend him and use him again!

Roman to the rescue! Roman has earned our loyalty in just one visit - he will be our go-to plumber as first-time homebuyers.

When I contacted several plumbers for availability and price quote to install a garbage disposal and fix a kitchen sink hose, Roman was the quickest to respond by far. He was able to reply to my message on a Saturday and come install & fix the following day (Sunday).

Roman's pricing was clear and very affordable compared to other price quotes I got. He gave us the option to purchase our own disposal and he would install.

When he arrived, Roman wore shoe covers in the house and explained what he would be completing. He worked quickly and efficiently, and once installed, showed us how the disposal works and how to maintain it properly. He improved and gave us more recommendations for our sink hose pressure.

We had made small talk and shared we were first time homebuyers: Roman went above and beyond by offering to go over plumbing basics and tips with us throughout the house at no extra cost. He had wonderful tips for our bathroom sinks and showers, kitchen sink, toilets, water line and winterizing our outdoor hoses.

THIS is the kind of professional, one-on-one service that wins me over for life! If we ever need anything, Roman will be my first call.

On short notice, Joe made time in his schedule to come out and diagnose my plumbing issue.  He gave me a fair price and an honest assessment, connecting me with the crew needed to to the job.  I absolutely recommend Joe and would hire him again.

Val and his crew are fantastic!  100% recommended that you give him a call.  We had a water heater on the fritz, called him in the morning, he was open to come out that afternoon for a quote.  His quote was under the competition with a longer warranty.  He had an opening in his schedule for the very next day and we booked him.  We got lucky with our calendars lining up, so the 24 hour turn around might not always work, but he's darn quick!  Val's install was quiet and clean as promised.  Even went out of his way to go get a part for our sink that was old and rusty.  We will definitely use him again.

The entire team was very professional and prompt. The technician, Derek (#4349) was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did he fix the issue, but he explained things as he went and made suggestions for self maintenance that will certainly be useful.

I seriously wonder if the negative reviewers are talking about the same service. Eric was prompt, pleasant, SUPER respectful and responsible about COVID compliance (wore a mask, stayed 6 ft apart, washed hands etc), explained all the issues well, and in the course of our discussion about my home's many plumbing problems (observable with my own eyes), he recommended a few things regarding a kitchen renovation I was planning that saved me $$$. He also showed me how to do some basic maintenance so I wouldn't have to call him for a minor recurring issue. I was so pleased with his work on a bunch of annoying small repair jobs, that I have brought him back for multiple larger plumbing jobs.

My house had BAD plumbing when I bought it -- like multiple elements only held together with tape. Shortly after I moved in, I discovered one toilet mechanism was held together with duct tape. Later, when I got a new dishwasher, I discovered my dishwasher drain hose was held to the main drain stack with electrical tape and it had been causing a slow leak under my floating floor (if I hadn't upgraded my dishwasher it could have been years before I discovered this since it was hidden). I actually ended up paying for a second home inspection after finding this many instances of tape used for plumbing after I moved in, because they were not noted in my original home inspection (I'm going to do a brief side plug for StructureTech the best home inspectors who found all kinds of things I wish I'd known when I bought, I will never use another home inspector again in this state). It's pretty depressing to buy a new house and discover someone did a shockingly shoddy job with the plumbing. I fully trust Eric to steer me in the right direction and to talk me through my options - pros/cons/cost. At this point, over the year, he's fixed multiple issues such as small leaks and running toilets (I can repair a basic running toilet but these were more complicated), installed a new water heater, installed a new sink faucet and garbage disposal, hooked up my new refrigerator's water line. My sewer line backed up and when he was unable to come to the emergency, he recommended another company who could do the job for a reasonable price quickly. I have never felt 'upsold' or like he was unwilling to do a smaller job either (which I can't say about other repairs on my house).

Because so much work had to be done on this house, I got estimates on a few things from other plumbers, and I felt Eric was usually cheaper or on par with the other services while being more pleasant/respectful and providing better service. I had one service be pretty rude to me as woman, quote me an outrageous sum, and indicate they would nickel and dime every little thing. No thanks!

I also want to say having someone who takes COVID prevention seriously is a big stress reliever. Eric always worse a K95 high filtration mask, didn't touch his mask, didn't take it off, didn't have to be nagged about things, unlike some people I've had show up at my house without even bringing a mask.

Highly recommend.

I want to start off by saying Erik was awesome and so was holly in the office. They were very polite and responsive. However, Devon was rude and condescending, he swore we needed 2 pours of concrete (said foundation/footings HAD to be pored before rough in) for our rough-in on our single slab addition. That ended up being completely wrong. We were in a time crunch and Devon was nothing but a problem, nothing could be done on time in his eyes the project seemed like it was overly complicated to him. I ended up finding another company who came out in 3 days after my first visit and completed the job at a much better cost and with a attentive manner. Don't work with Devon if you choose this company.

Ruben called me when he was a few minutes away to let me know when he was going to arrive, and got the two drains that I needed unclogged taken care of with no issue.  He was professional and made sure to be as neat as possible.  Will use these guys again for a slow drain!

We had a knowledgeable plumber that helped haul out our dishwasher and replace a new shut off valve, but we had to get an electrician for the rest. He was early and very easy to get along with and let us know clearly what our next step is.

Make sure you are completely aware of the issues you are having.   Had them look at my water heater cause the pilot light kept going out. They Told me it was a bad gas valve....   Pilot light was not staying lit, its probably the thermocouple.  They wanted to replace my water heater and charge me over $1000 when all we needed was a $13 thermocouple. Matt Loe obviously didn't do his job, and tried to gouge our eyes out with a ridiculous estimate for a new water heater.   Didn't need a new water heater, just needed a new part.   Be aware, these guys WILL Try to pull one over on you.  Get a second opinion

I had to call the office staff on a couple of occasions after installation and speak to a staff member Alisha not only was she rude on both occasions but very unprofessional. I am happy with my product and the service people I dealt with but there office staff could use an upgrade.

Complete joke of a company. They charged me a $59 trip fee plus a $350 diagnostic charge. At the end of the trip the electrician gave me 3 options ranging from 15K to 5K. Since I don't know much about electrical I called two other companies (both provided free estimates and no diagnostic charge) and they both came in around 2K. When I told them what Boys Electric said they laughed and said it was a good thing I called another company.

Also they gave me a four hour window for my appointment. The other companies gave me an exact time and showed up on time.

Yeah, not a good company to do business with. Called to get some heating work done. Bad customer service. System stopped working immediately. Called back and didn't hear back for two weeks. Still haven't received a refund for the shoddy work.

They need an Estimator available a full day, all week. I have used Richfield Plumbing in the past (previous home), and was very happy with them. Contacted them last week via their website and then followed up with a call to explain a few items too complicated to try to explain in the little web form. Nice gal told me their Estimator would need to talk to me, he's out, will be back next week. So I wait for a call.

Got an email Tuesday *afternoon* telling me that their Estimator can be called 6:30-11:30am Monday through Wednesday. Again, this was Tuesday AFTERNOON. So basically, gave me one morning to call, and it's my busiest morning this week. So now I can't talk to the guy until next week?! I originally contacted them LAST week because I need the work done THIS week.

Well it's Thursday. I gotta go with someone else 'cuz I need to talk to someone about it today, and get it scheduled ASAP. Bummed and irritated.

I had Sebastian out to do some rough in plumbing, fix a floor drain and do some finishing work. He did very bad work and was very dishonest. He repaired a main water line and Unclogged the basement floor drain. The water main started leaking again and I had to pay to get it fixed and the floor drain was not properly unclogged and it caused me to fail an inspection. He also, in a very threatening way demanded more money after changing his bid and refusing to do the work he agreed on. Don't go with this company unless you want poor quality work with changing prices.

Don't waste your time with this company.  I needed to replace an A/C unit and was also interested in potentially replacing my furnace.  I scheduled an appointment to get a quote for the project.  Dean's can only provide a 4 hour window.  They did not show the first day and bumped me to the next day.  The next day they were also a no show and wanted to bump me once again.  I wouldn't recommend doing business with any company that cannot meet their promises to customers.  I learned from the company that they prioritize existing customers over new customers and will bump them from the schedule even if they have made a commitment to them.  I wouldn't trust any company that doesn't keep their word.

So, I had my sewer backed up and called Rol Air. They came out and $600 stated they had cleaned out the pipe and there weren't many roots. Two weeks later I had a more severe back up and called them again. They charged me $250 to tell me the same thing that it was cleaned out- nothing was coming up and it was likely a belly in the pipe. They don't do bellies. So I just had Roto-Rooter out here and they looked at the pipe and found ROOTS. Not a belly. They said there were quite a few roots in there likely causing the issue. So I spend $850 at Rol Air to do absolutely nothing. I will NEVER recommend this company. I have contacted the Better Business Beureau for taking advantage of me and charging that much money to not do their job.

Beware of this company. Matt's Plumbing billed me for $385 for 20 minutes of time that required no tools. I e-mailed them and requested that they contact me to discuss the over charge and the have completely ignored me. I have reported them the BBB also.
