Best Sewer Services in Saint Paul MN

Recommended to me from a friend with a business in St. Paul I decided to give them a try. I had attempted snaking the drain with a huge commercial grade rental and had no luck. I then hired one of the big names and the drain worked for less than a week-bummer. I then got these guys in Scott was our technician. He was super patient, talented and skilled. He got it clean and working. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

As a property owner one of the most upsetting  sights is to look down into a sink and see it filled with dirty water because of a clogged drain.  Eric at Halverson Sewer Service is your salvation.  We have been using him for at least ten years and he has always come through for us.  He has a great sink side manner reassuring you that all will be well soon and the problem isn't all that is unusual or serious.  Just what you need to hear as you envision the possibility of major pipe replacement.  Eric is prompt, competent, courteous, and his fees are reasonable.  He also likes dogs which is a big plus in our household.  I highly recommend Halverson Sewer Service.

I hated having to call Cardinal but was happy with the end result. Cardinal came highly recommend from a friend of mine. They came with in an hour (they were kind of in the area). Tech came in, reviewed the situation, got his gear and started to work. 2 hours later we were clear of roots and debris. A quick run of the camera displayed no damage to the pipes and we were clear to the city line.

I felt confident in the tech's ability and what he was telling me as he worked through the situation I had. The tech was personable and friendly. I would definitely call them again (and will every couple of years to clear any roots before they become a problem).

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.

I'm generally handy around the house so I tried many things including attempting to flush out the clog by dumping boiling water down the drain, using baking soda and vinegar mix and dismantling the drain and snaking the pipe myself... One trip to Menards, three hours and a sore back later finally I gave in and decided to contact a plumber.

I called several plumbers including one plumber that was highly referred by friend. I was told by that company they would charge me double-time due to the weekend and suggested I call back Monday. I called back 8:30 am on Monday and they told me they were fully booked for the next two days and they would call me back if they could fit me in.

The last place I called was Affordable Sewer and Water for the St. Paul area (I live in Maplewood) the operator was professional and gave me and quote which was aproimately $70 cheaper than all the quotes I received that morning plus they were able to schedule me right away so I set an appointment for that afternoon.

My Drain is now free of clogs after the plumber used his 60-foot power snake to clear it out. After all of this I still haven't heard back from the two companies who said they would call back. The plumber was conscious and respectful of my house and put on boot coverings and didn't leave any mess whatsoever. I'm completely satisfied with the service Affordable Sewer and Water has provided, they communicated their fees clearly and efficiently performed the job. I will contact Affordable Sewer and Water first next time I have plumbing needs.

Pros: Clear pricing, overall friendly and professional service, on time

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!

My home had a long standing problem with plant roots growing into the sewer drain. After several years, the roots grew thicker and became more unmanageable. Several companies attempted to or inspected the drain and could not clear it and offered quotes to fix the problem which all involved digging and ranged from $12,000-$16,000.

Marvel not only was able to clear the problem, but they offered that a fix was not immediately needed and we could wait until next year to see if the problem returned. Knowing this would be a recussing issue, I asked about for a repair quote. Not only did they say no digging would be necessary and could be fixed with a liner, the cost ended up being just over $8000 which included the cleaning.

They did a wonderful job, fixed the issue, and was very fair and honest about my options. All of the people I worked with from this company were prompt, professional, and friendly and I can't recommend them enough.

Sewer was plugged! I called early Monday morning and Ruber arrived on time and he surveyed the problem, set up his  machine and cleaned out the tree roots that clogged the sewer line. We were very satisfied with the job and the price of 170.00

Great plumbers. Me and my wife both really loved the new bathroom they put in for us. We bought an old old house and they were the best price around and they did excellent work. Would refer them very satisfied.

Our contractor used Metro Heating and Cooling to relocate an AC unit that was placed in our 1920s bungalow attic.  We were extremely disappointed in the service.

Warning, I'm going to rant a little.  If you read nothing else, read this: if you have Metro perform any service to your HVAC system, make sure it works before letting them leave and paying the bill.  

The central air in our home had always worked perfectly, but it needed to be moved due to renovations we were doing on our attic.  We had installers from Metro come out to move it.  Apparently, we needed to be more specific and tell them it still needed to WORK after moving it.  The job was around $3000.  It did not pass the first city inspection due to them using the wrong tubing in the duct work.  They came back out to fix the tubing.  Once that was updated to meet code, no one thought to turn it on to make sure it worked?  Sure enough, 90 degree heat came to MN later that week and we discovered it was not working.

Long story short, it took four ADDITIONAL service calls to get the AC working.  Apparently, this company thinks it's perfectly OK to leave without having everything fully fixed.

The most unprofessional response came last Wednesday, after we had arrived home from a long weekend at the lake.  The AC had been working on Sunday morning when we left, after 3 of the 4 additional service calls.  When we came home to a broken AC unit (again, on a 90+ degree day), I called Metro.  Paul, who answered the 24 hour maintenance line (side bar: I called him one morning around 8:00 am and got a call back at 9:30 am, he'd been sleeping he informed me), asked me if I had changed the filter, and informed me that any additional work would probably not be covered by the original work warranty.  Well, Paul, you've had 6 HVAC people out here in the last week, did one of them check the filter?

After working with Roto Rooter and paying $250 to snake my line, my basement drain was still backing up. They sent a rookie out to my house, fresh off a 2-week training period. He claimed he was stuck at 26 feet and recommended I pay another $250 to get someone out with a camera to check the blockage. Knowing that these guys work on commission, I opted to shop around before making my decision and I stumbled upon Ron the Sewer Rat. They sent out a seasoned plumber named Rod who has been doing this for years. He was able to clean my line within an hour and an half for half the price of Roto Rooter. I highly recommend calling these pros! Save money and get the expert plumbers out to your house!

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).

These guys do a great job at a reasonable price. They told me exactly what they were doing and how much it would cost before starting work.  Sean was professional, clean and made sure I was happy with his work. He cleaned up the area and I will definitely use him again for my next plumbing job!

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

Pedro was the technician who stopped at my house and I don't know if he is the owner of the company or just works for them but he is the only in-home technician that I have ever had a truly horrible experience with.  I showed him the problem in my basement and after some examination, he tried to show me in my pipes where the problem may be coming from.  All of that was just fine but, honestly, I couldn't get too close to the guy because he was soaked in cologne and the smell of him was giving me a vicious headache.  He didn't seem to appreciate me not wanting to get close to him and started to speak to me in an agitated manner. He asked me questions about the work done prior, which I hadn't been home for.  I called my husband and asked him questions about the work done previously to the pipes and Pedro kept talking over me as I was talking on the phone or trying to listen to my husband speak.  I put my husband on hold and asked Pedro not to interrupt me, I couldn't talk on the phone that way.  He said If you don't want my help, fine.  Pay me and I'll leave.  I wrote him a check and he stormed out.  About 5 minutes after he drove off he came back and parked in front of my house.  He got out of his van and stormed halfway up the driveway like he had something else on his mind, and by God, I was going to hear it.  Then he turned away and left, like he had changed his mind.
I have dealt with technicians in my home a lot and this was the first time that I felt uncomfortable and a bit unsafe.  Seriously.  Do NOT do business with this company.

We called for a toilet repair yesterday and they set up an appointment for today 1-3:30.  Immediate e-mail twice confirming the appt time for today.  We received a call in the morning today to again confirm that we would be home today between 1-3:30.  At 1:15 today we received a call that said they could NOT come out today, but could we be home tomorrow.  Really??  We made sure we would be home and stayed in all day to wait for the plumber.  We cancelled plans.  Their website said 24/7 service, but when asked whether they could still make it tonight they could not.  Very displeased with this lack of consideration for the potential customer.
