Best Sewer Services in Saint Paul MN

This place came highly recommended from a co-worker after I told him we were having some plumbing issues with our kitchen sink and basement utility sink. Basically, the drain shared by the kitchen and utility sink was backed up somewhere below the basement floor, causing water to fill up and pour over the utility sink as well as back up into the kitchen. Subscribing to the view that if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy, I tried drano, snaking the drain myself, plunging, etc. Nothing worked...

Well, this back and forth (me vs. the drain) had been going on for about a week. After realizing I was outmatched I eventually called Midway Sewer on Saturday when our Friday night meal cleanup turned into Noah's Ark style flooding in the basement laundry room. Luckily my wife is smart about these things and had me ask if there's a weekend rate and a weekday rate (there was, on the order of $20-30 difference), so, since our's was a non-emergency we had them come out on Monday.

The plumber (Ron) was polite, punctual, and fixed the problem completely. Additionally, the price was really reasonable (less than $125!). The plumber even scrubbed down the entire utility sink basin and laundry room floor since it had been covered with the backed up water. By the time he was finished the place was cleaner than before the flood! I kind of wanted to take credit for the cleaning myself when my wife asked, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Anyway, I don't write a lot of Yelp reviews, but I thought these people deserve some recognition. I understand why my coworker had such high praise for this business.

Very impressed with how fast I was able to get help. The quality of service was also great. I love supporting small, local businesses and it feels great that I now have a go-to plumber! My garbage disposal was leaking all over and I was able to get help fast.

I had a basement drain that was not flowing and Eric responded to my email request within two hours.  He was available to come out the same day but with my schedule I had to have him come out the next morning.  He called me 20 minutes before his arrival well within the window he gave me.  He completed the job efficiently and cleanly at a fair price.  Very professional.

I had an emergency backup in my main sewer line.  I called Cardinal and they have people who take your information and then someone in the area called me back within 15 minutes.  We scheduled for him to come out to my house within the hour.  He was a touch late but it was understandable because he was on another job.  So far so good ...

Alex came and was a very nice guy.  He seemed very knowledgeable and explained to me a lot of what was going on.  He fixed the problem and the whole experience was as bearable as was possible with poo on your basement floor.

Then I woke up the next morning and had water in the basement again.  Turns out he forgot to check one of the drains and it turned out to be plugged.  I now have to replace carpet because of the hiccup.

If it wasn't for the HUGE mistake of forgetting to check the extra drain, it would have been a good experience.  Unfortunately, they get knocked down because of that.

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.

One of the local plumbers told me that I need a new sewer line and it was going to cost me $15k.  I asked the local hardware store (Settergren's) who's opinions I trust a great deal, and they recommended that I get a second opinion.  Settergren's has a list of vendors that their customers with whom their customers have had good experiences and JMJ is one of the plumbers on the list.  Joe, the JMJ owner, came by the next day and helped me think it through and decided to wait and see.  He ended up doing some work to keep the line clear at a very reasonable price.  Joe is an honest, hard-working guy that you can trust.  I recommend him without reservation.

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!

We called for blockage in my parents garbage disposal. (I didn't know that you should NEVER put uncooked carrots in the garbage disposal.) We tried to take care of this ourselves without success.  We found American Sewer by their 5-Star rating on Yelp. We called late afternoon and Dave came out to my parents house the next morning on November 23rd.  He snaked the kitchen drain.  He also sealed a small leak we didn't even know we had.  The job was done in less than an hour for $100.00.  Dave was very professional and polite.  My parents will definitely contact American Sewer again if needed.  We highly recommend this company!

I hired marvel to clean and put a camera through a drain that hadn't been used in many, many years. Marvel was HIGHLY communicative and incredibly easy to work with. They arrived punctual (early even!). Ben was highly skilled at what he did and had the drain cleaned and showed me the inside of the pipe including descriptions that showed his knowledge of his field. As a trades professional myself, I truly appreciate others who take what they do as something to be proud of. Ben clearly takes pride in what he does, and he should. He is good, and his office is one of the best I've ever communicated with.

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.

I has 3 separate plumbers bid on a laundry room replumb: remove old concrete sink and get rid of unused old lines and vents, new sink, new gas lines, new waste and fresh lines. Move dryer vent and bring floor drain up to code. These guys did great work, left the area neat with nice details like securing my ac hose and running it out of site. And all this for a great price and frankly it was done...DONE before the other two even submitted their bids. Will call first next time

I have had a couple of service calls on my aging furnace, had a new smart thermostat installed and a water heater replaced by Metro Heating and Cooling. The service has been great and as far as I could tell by shopping around their pricing is also great!

One thing that really stood out was their honesty. They pointed out that my furnace is nearing the end of its life, but they did not push to sell me a new furnace. They recommended repair but cautioned that a new furnace will be needed within the next few years. From past experiences other companies would have jumped at the opportunity to convince me that I needed a new furnace now. When the time comes I will definitely be calling Metro to replace my furnace.

I can say absolutely nothing negative about my experience with Ron the Sewer Rat.

I emailed in the late afternoon to set up an appt and someone got back to me early the next morning.  We set up an appt that was convenient for me.
Steve called 20mins prior to appt time and arrived promptly.

He quickly fixed the problems, left absolutely no mess and it didn't cost anything near what I was afraid it would be.

I couldn't recommend Ron the Sewer Rat company more!

Third time I called for service, first time I was disappointed. No phone call or note upon arriving home, so I wasn't sure if anything had been done that day. Also, the scary pipe banging I called about is still there. Sounds like it is about to rip through my wood floors every time it happens... I will fix that myself.

Then three nights ago the drain setting in my sink - that I had them install - popped right off. Don't think that is supposed to happen... I will fix that myself, too. (Dramatic self-pitying sigh).

I can't say enough good things about my experience. They were able to fit me in the same day when I reached out regarding needing to have my old, leaky outdoor spigot replaced. Nate came out and he was fantastic. He was super fair and kind and was working to find solutions that would be quicker, cheaper fixes before ultimately needing to go through the wall to replace it. I spent quite a bit of time comparing companies, reading reviews, and getting quotes. I am beyond pleased to have gone with Aart's Speedy Plumbing and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again! Thank you!

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

We recently called them to do a simple job - update the gas shut off valves on our water heaters (for a duplex rental property).  In order for him to do his job, he had to turn off the gas (main valve on the exterior of the property) going into the house. When the service plumber - Pedro Berrios - left, our water heater wasn't functioning and our gas furnace was off.  We had to manually turn our water heaters on ourselves and our gas furnace is now no longer functioning (as a result of it being off for several hours).  He informed me this was all a coincidence and it had nothing to do with him.  Unless you want to spend more money, do not call this company - all they do is cause more problems.

Homeworks, formerly Adams Healthy Home, may do good work, or not, I don't know, but they are preying on unsuspecting homeowners by claiming that components are failing that are perfectly good. I know this because I'm an HVAC professional and I actually know how this stuff works.

They claimed that the fan motor on my AC outdoor condensing unit needed replacement because the motor amp draw was less than the motor nameplate full load amps. This is just WRONG. Manufacturers select motors that do not exceed the motor nameplate, and often are a little below. Motors are like clothes that come in small, medium, large, extra-large etc. You can't  buy a 6 hp motor. 5, 7-1/2, 10, 15, etc. So if the fan needs 12 horsepower, it gets a 15 hp motor and draws less amps as a result.

There's more, but this one incident is enough.

They are constantly up-selling, but the worst is just plain trying to rip you off.

STAY AWAY!
