Best Plumbing Inspection in Minneapolis MN

I used Ouverson to install a new sewer line from my home to the main line per city codes and I was very impressed with Troy and his crew. They were meticulous. They dug a 6x6 hole in my yard and did the installation. When they were done, you could hardly tell. again, very impressed. I can't say enough good about their work.

Shane and Chad from the Metro Drain Division were at my home yesterday to complete a trenchless pipe repair (relining) project.  I hired them because I trusted them to provide a great solution instead of the solution that benefits only them.  These guys were pro's and they did not have to dig up my basement to completely reline my drain pipe.  This was a far less invasive process and they did the whole thing in less than a day.  I rarely say that I am 100% satisfied but it is true with Metro Plumbing.  I will never use another plumber in my home.

Mike installed our disposal that we bought from Costco. He ran the disposal numerous times before leaving our house.

Thought he was concerned about something but he said everything is good. Lifted at that.

Next day ran the disposal and it has a sharp noise when switch is turned on. And sometimes a flash comes from switches.

Called Mike and his response was- fetter call the manufacturer. I didn't do anything wrong.

Well Mike. Nice customer service.

Calling around for a plumber is never fun and usually means something broke and needs to be replaced, which means $$$$$. Pete at PJS Plumbing will be my first call next time and all the time. I called late Friday needing a hot water replacement and got an estimate from Pete which was considerably less than other places. He called around and got me a water heater for the price he said it would be and it was installed almost by the time I woke up on Tuesday. Its funny that I don't even feel like I spent money, but I saved money compared to the 'other guys' prices. I actually rounded off the price and gave Pete more money. I've already recommended him to a friend. Don't change your phone number, I will be calling to use your services again. But hopefully I wont need to :)

I had a new vanity installed along with new shut off valves. Also a new toilet and in the kitchen all new faucets, including a dishwasher hook up. Just sorry I didn't need a new water softener. Ok, maybe I am not sorry about that. Service is prompt and prices are good. This guy knows his stuff.

We had a rubber dog toy go down a drain and completely plug it up.  We had tried to snake it, hook it, but to no avail.   Mr. Donahue and his assistant came out early in the morning and took care of our drain within a few minutes.   I know he had four other clients to take care of that day, it was hot and he had four other air conditioners to fix for other people.  I am glad he could squeeze us into his busy day and take care of us so promptly.
He drives around an old classic truck which is just cool.

Oh my, I thought I had already written this review, but in the midst of all we went through I guess I missed it. I can't say enough about the great job personnel from John's Sewer and Drain did when our entire basement was inundated with sewage.  As it turned out, the entire drainage system was blocked with bamboo toilet paper that did not break down. They arrived twice w/in a couple of hours and the price was affordable.  It was a horrific, nasty mess but their technician stayed until everything was cleared out.  I'll spare you the images of what he found, but we later did a little test w/bamboo TP (brand REEL) and Scott's brand.  We put two sheets in a glass of water and then waited to see what broke down best. The bamboo did NOT break down very well, see attached pic.

We recently bought our house and were trying to put a vented hood in the kitchen to replace a recycler microwave when the project exploded.  The HVA/C techs recommended Charlie and he showed up within hours for what we thought was going to be a small job of moving one pipe.  He started looking around and discovered that all the plumbing from the second floor bathroom to the basement was not only not to code but also in jeopardy of causing major issues (wrong sized pipes, joints where they shouldn't be, standing water in capped pipes, etc.). Phil stopped by shortly after and took two hours and a lot of running up and down stairs to diagnose the job and give us a comprehensive scope of repairs he would propose.  It really made me feel like he was taking the time to get it right and solve the whole situation instead of just a symptom of a problem.

We had one price and only one price due to their thorough diagnosis - the quoted price and time was spot on.  Phil scheduled us in and came back for an 8 hour installation and fix.  When it looked like he may not make it solo in the 8 hours he promised, he called in backup and it didn't cost us more or extend the job.

The best part and the reason I will forever recommend this group as well as have them back for all my plumbing needs is their incredible follow up. Phil worked with me to identify when the inspector could come out and close the job so we didn't have to make extra phone calls or deal with the city at all.  A few days before the inspection, we found out that the previous owners had kindly left us with an open plumbing permit from a totally different company.  That company told me to just work it out with the inspector and luckily, the inspector said he was willing to tag it onto his already scheduled visit.  Phil showed up early and had already talked to the inspector that day and heard about the other permit.  He set up the house to facilitate the inspector's visit and asked me about the other permit.  He took the time to check out the work and asked great questions to understand the mechanics of the house.  When the inspector showed up, Phil talked him through all his work step-by-step and walked him through the work the other company did!

For all that work, the inspector was maybe in the house for 10 minutes because of Phil's prep work and passion for his job.  He put everything back and was out the door (he spent all this time and attention on our house on a Friday even though he had plans to go out of town with his family- when I found out, I forced him out and promised to do the final touches of clean up myself I was so impressed with his commitment!).  

St. Paul Pipeworks cares about every job they do and the people they help.  Their commitment shows when they send thank you cards and remember you with a card on the holidays.  It seems like a small thing but it sure doesn't make you feel like a number.  Charlie's commitment is best summarized in his statement to us, Plumbing should last longer than any of us so I plan to do my job so well, I won't see you again for this work.  All the more reason that when the rest of the house gets remodeled, Charlie and Phil are the only plumbers I will allow through the front door.

Fair warning: Charlie and Phil may not be the cheapest bid you could get but would you rather save money and have a headache with permits and poor workmanship or spend a little extra with a company that takes great pride in their work and is committed to making your experience as wonderful and stress free as possible?  I am more than willing to spend a little more now and call St Paul Pipeworks first than call them second after the first company screws up and I now have to pay for the work twice!

Our heater went out. They were able to make the trip from Howard Lake to Maple Lake, diagnose the problem, have the replacement part handy, and get it fixed all within 75 minutes! The price was very reasonable, especially considering this was after 8pm. Thank you!!

I purchased a investment property with a great view of the Mississippi River valley. After the purchase realized quickly I had my work cut out for me, everything that could be wrong with a 140 yr house was seriously in need of repair. Contacted Mark for complete plumbing replacement. He got me a very competitive quote quickly, we agreed and he went to work. We worked through many challenges along the way but he stuck to his quote and finished the job to perfection. I have only one regret, that I have no more plumbing needs at the present time but when I do I will call Mark without hesitation!!! Thank you Focus Plumbing:)

Called RWPH for a 50 gal Water heater replacement. Carrie was polite and explained their process to me in layman's English. Said a tech would be out 1st thing in the morning 7:30am. Garrett,  the owner showed up personally and went through everything with me. Quoted a good price. I explained I would have to postpone the install for a day or two until I got paid. With a gentleman's handshake we worked it out that I could pay for water heater now, installed and I could pay labor when I got paid.  Michael showed up with the new one and installed in less than 1.5 hours, amazing.i went to the bank to get the $$ to pay for it and found I got paid early. Called Carrie up and let her know I could pay in full. I asked about a Military discount and got another 10% off the original quote. Life saver...  Thank you Garrett, Michael and Carrie for helping us out. Further projects will be referred to Red Wing Heating and Plumbing.  Highly Recommend.

Had a pinhole leak in a pipe (argh). didn't have the time to deal with it. Called TJK, and they were able to get somebody out here the same day which was awesome.

Our plumber Dan, was great to work with on this issue. he was prompt, clear in communications, had a good sense of humor, and made the appropriate recommendations. The work was clean and well done. I also appreciated that he double-checked his work.

They will be the first call on some other work we will be doing later this year. Well done TJK.

Paul the Plumber is an outstanding company.  We contracted them to do the plumbing into a bathroom we were installing in our basement.  Paul came to our house evaluated the job and gave us some suggestions.  He had his son-in-law Mark come to do the work.  They showed up on time.  Did the work efficiently and left the work site clean and ready for the rest of the bathroom remodel to proceed.  I would highly recommend this company for your next plumbing job.

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!

Disrespectful and a racist. Dont give him your money. He is known for over charging and being disrespectful. Only works with rich white folks and scams them by over charging because the rich folks dont know anything.

My 72 year old mother used their service to install a kitchen sink faucet that she supplied.  Apparently they had to replace a shutoff valve as well.  They charged her $994.29 to do the work.  The only parts & materials they provided were the shutoff valve, maybe some plumbers tape and caulk. Basically they price gouged and took advantage of her.

Timely, proficient, and good customer service. From the initial phone call when I was explained what the experience with the service representative would be like, to the actual fixing of the breakage created by Centerpoint Energy. I'd take a few stars from Centerpoint and give them to BFP if I could. It wasn't cheap, but the technician went above and beyond which is why I would certainly recommend them to anyone.

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!!!
