Best Sewer Services in Saint Paul MN

Called on Sunday evening to leave a message regarding main sewer line blockage. Received a call back about two minutes later (which I totally did not expect on a Sunday night!) and scheduled appointment for Monday. Gary came out and cleaned out the line, explained the cause of the problem (tree roots), and what needed to be done in the future. He was very personable and easy to talk to. The price was extremely fair; less than I expected. Thank you for your timely and friendly service, and thank you for an excellent job! We will absolutely be calling you again!

I was impressed by the prompt, professional service late on a Sunday afternoon. They replaced my garbage disposal and saved our day -- no more leaks. If you are tired of the big companies treating you like a number, rescue sewer and drain will be like a breath of fresh air.

I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer Service highly enough. They have integrity, great pricing, and great service. He saved me from bring ripped-off by a large sewer company to the tune of thousands of dollars.

Our sewer backed up on a Sunday and as a first-time homeowner experiencing something like that for the first time, I panicked and called a large sewer/plumbing company. They came out right away and cleared the sewer line. They brought out a guy with a camera who scoped our sewer line and told me it was broken and required an emergency replacement, costing $17,000+ to replace the entire sewer line.

I called around for a 2nd opinion and found Halvorsen Sewer Service. Eric responded to me on a Sunday, expressing concern with the assessment by the large company and offering to come take a look at it for me the next day.

Eric used his camera and quickly told me that the sewer line WASN'T BROKEN. The perceived break was a buildup of concrete slurry on the bottom of the pipe, causing some water to pool. Eric cleared the concrete slurry from the pipe and told me that he did not think any repairs were necessary. He even provided me with a copy of the video of my sewer line which the large company did not do.

I sent the video to a 3rd company and they confirmed Eric's opinion that no repairs to the sewer line were necessary.

Halvorson Sewer Service did an incredible job cleaning the sewer line and getting all of the things the large company missed, at a MUCH more competitive price. He educated me thoroughly and gave me great advice on how to maintain the sewer line going forward. If you have sewer line cleaning or inspection needs, I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer highly enough.

Our main sewer line was backing up in the basement. We initially called Uptown Plumbing as we had had them do work at our house previously.. Someone came to our house and spent ~45 min attempting to unclog the drain. He said he was hitting something about 10ft out.  After using a camera, they recommended excavating and repairing a section of our sewer pipe for $6000. We decided we wanted another opinion before making a pressured/rushed decision to spend that much money.

After calling around, Cardinal Services was recommended to us by Gene's Water & Sewer who said that we most likely didn't actually need to have that work done, but just needed a good/better drain cleaning. The person who came from Cardinal Services was excellent; had the camera and the snake and was able to completely clean 90ft of pipe to the front street in ~2.5 hours (we don't need the sewer repair/excavation work done).  They gained a customer for life thanks to their high quality of work at a fair price!

He was very easy to work with. I was able to schedule service online. I was provided with a quote up front, which was based on service performed rather than hourly. He was able to do the work very soon and on a weekend. He showed up on time, was respectful of my home, and did a great job.

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.

By far one of the best companies we have used. Friendly, professional, and quick. Emphasis on affordable! We won't even consider anyone else. They came out the same day we called and we're done in an hour.  They explained everything and how it worked and gave us a ton of pointers. Very polite, professional, and thorough work.

Did a great job on cleaning bathroom drain. Definitely recommended. Prompt and on time.

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!!!

As a new homeowner, I wanted a professional to inspect our sewer lines so we didn't have any nasty surprises. John's Sewer came highly recommended from several people and they were absolute pros. They were quick and clean! I would definitely use them again for any future issues or just for regular maintenance.

After 5 attempts to get the plumber here to replace two faucets, one was cancelled because it was at lunch time and we cancelled, he cancelled the rest. He came today and blew us off because we asked if would wear booties on our white carpet leading to the valves and he said he would not and we were being to difficult and he left. THUMBS DOWN!!!   I would give a minus if it was available. If he did not want the job he should have said so in the beginning instead stringing us along for 3-4 weeks!!

Had an issue with an AC unit in a Forest Lake house that I rent.  The service was prompt, friendly and efficient.  Couldn't have asked for more.

While these people came highly recommended by my sister-in-law, I was very put off by the subcontractor that I got through them. After coming in, checking things out and signing the papers, the subcontractor tells me that there will be an extra $75 fee because I wasn't upfront with him on the phone that it was the main line, and that he felt he was being taken, and that if I didn't like the new fee, he could just leave. With that comment, I was feeling like I was being taken advantage of because my sewer was backing up in the basement through the floor drain and that's what I told him on the phone! I'm not a plumber or a sewer guy, how am I supposed to know that I need to first figure out myself exactly what is happening before calling them?

Now, to be fair, after the service subcontractor completed the job, he did drop the billed fee down from the new $225 ($150 for the main line + $75 additional fee for hassle) to $180 ($150 main line + $30 for additional cable)... though that was also after bringing up that I am also a small business owner (though I don't know if he changed his mind because of that, or because he realized I was completely taken aback by his attitude and rudeness with him accusing me of trying to take him because I didn't make it clear on the phone that it was the main drain line?). Positives: They were able to come out the same day, they got the job done quickly (within the hour and 1/2 quoted)

Their work is excellent.  BUT their customer service is lacking.  The invoice does NOT state that you will be paying for their travel time.  Nor does it state that you will be paying for their lunch breaks.  Again, the work is excellent, but the customer service leaves something to be desired.

Mark came out to my place in North Branch that I'd recently bought and completely set up a new bathroom I'd added in the basement.  I couldn't have been more happy with the quality of his work or the personal integrity that he clearly displayed while in our home.  He's my go-to plumber for as long as I live yet when it comes to any kind of plumbing work needs that may come up.  Such a good & kind man who, because of his years of experience, can do it all & provide professional guidance if needed.

The WHOLE time, this plumber told me about how juicy his pear was. He told me it was ripe and other inappropriate things. It disgusted me and my 37 year old son who lives in my basement. He told me the plumber was fruity. I guess that explains why he likes pears. He left me in a state of confusion

If you are looking to be scammed by Pedro at Do It Right Plumbing this is the place for you! You get to pay $89 for him to come out to tell you what is wrong and then give you an outrageous quote and not be able to break down to costs. But wait, there's more... if you decide not to use Pedro, he will kindly call the Hopkins inspector and report you for not having plumbing up to code. Basically, a childless vindictive move that was NOT taken well by the inspector! In fact, it turns out that Pedro and Do It Right Plumbing engages is phone solicitation to scam people to their company. I actually called a different company and got redirected to his. Total Scam DO NOT USE PEDRO TOTAL SCAM!!!

I received a coupon for a water heater maintenance from Minnesota Plumbing & Heating.  We have a five year old water heater, which was working 100% fine, but I kept hearing from multiple places that this maintenance was necessary.  I called to book appointment, which I make for a time my wife is home, but I am not.  A plumber from HomeWorks Plumbing calls and says he's on his way 5 hours earlier than what the person I booked with on the phone indicated they would arrive (I was given a 3pm - 5pm window, plumber contacted us to say he was on his way before 10am).  Upon arrival he proceeds to hard upsell my wife (such as a soft water system for the poisonous water in St. Paul).  She declines, and then he suddenly finds a $350 repair needed for our water heater.  This is a complete and total racket, and I am furious.  I am posting this review on both companies pages, and will never in my life do business with either again.
