Best Sewer Services in Saint Paul MN

Our tech was very nice, did his job professionally, got things working quickly, and this didn't cost an arm and a leg. Thanks, Gary!

What a fantastic experience! Roman quickly replied to our inquiry (drain problems) and promptly arrived at our place. On top of that, he provided expert service and support, ensuring he solved all our drain problems and answered our questions. Within minutes of talking with Roman, I knew we'd be his customers for life; we'll continue to hire him for any service he and Rescue Sewer & Drain offers. Look no further if you want the rare combination of a knowledgeable, honest, friendly, clean, and meticulous expert. I would recommend him to anyone and will unquestionably be a repeat customer again and again.

We called about a clogged kitchen sink and Eric had Nick out to solve our problem within the hour.  Excellent service!

Cardinal Services was amazing!  I had a similar experience as another reviewer.  We were told by Uptown that they would never be able to clear more than 20% of the sewer line because of roots and they recommended replacing several feet of the line for $5000.  I was looking for a second opinion and found Gene's Water & Sewer who recommended Cardinal Services.  Cardinal Services was able to almost completely remove the roots and showed me with the camera that there is very little wrong with my sewer line.  I will have to have it cleaned every couple of years but they saved me a lot of money.    I highly recommend Cardinal Services.

Mike responded quickly and we set up a time to clear roots from my sewer main line. He was very open to working around our schedule, which was great because the house was being renovated. He was reasonably priced and worked quickly and efficiently. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks!

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

I have used American Sewer 3 times now for snaking 3 different drains at my property and I will continue to use them. They are prompt, accurate, friendly, and get the job done the first time. I am very pleased with their services and I highly recommend.

When purchasing a home, the inspection found the sewer lateral between the house and the street needed to be repaired. Based on the inspection video Marvel gave me a quote in November to put in a CIPP between the house and the street in early January.

The day arrived and Jashon and Kai showed up at the time I was told, they were both super professional and despite me telling them not to worry too much about making the floors dirty, they insisted on keeping them as clean as possible. They made it super clear when they arrived what they would be doing and how long each step would take. I was in and out of the house throughout the day while they were working in my basement and I felt very comfortable leaving them in my home without me around.

In the end the quote I received in November is exactly what I paid in January, and it was much lower than others I received because of the method they use to insert the lining.

I've already recommended them to a friend and would recommend them to anyone else looking for their services.

Our kitchen sink is over 50 feet from the main drain. It will get a clog near the end on occasion. Tried a gallon of drain cleaner but no luck. Called John's and got an appointment right away. The plumber came on time and snaked out the drain in short order. And get this..... It was over $200 less than the last company that did the same job!! Really happy! We will use them again!

These guys are a joke.  The bank I bought my house from sub-contracted them to do plumbing repairs on my house, probably picked them at random. I would never have chosen them.

Their guy sat in my basement smoking cigarettes, doing nothing, charging by the hour while he waited for the city water utility to turn on the water main.  I never asked him to wait in my basement. If I had been there, I'd have told him to do his job or get lost.  Instead, because he hung around doing nothing under the pretense of working, they got to charge me for three times the amount of labor they actually performed. The truth is, he was unable to do any work until the water main was turned on.  Very, very shady. They also charged me an enormous truck fee (around $70) just for getting off their duffs and driving a mile and a half to my house.

In spite of how skeezy this all was, I never disputed the fees or how they were calculated even though I knew I was getting screwed.  I didn't want to wade into the quagmire of smalls claims court as I was trying to get my house into livable condition.

The bank stupidly paid in advance for the work, cut them a huge check and told them to remit the remaining balance to me after they took their cut for their labor. Even with all of their hidden fees and questionable charges,there was still a sizable sum left over.

Well, you can guess how that turned out.  I had to threaten to sue them, file complaints with the BBB, and repeatedly call one of the plumbers at his other job before they finally cut me a check for the outstanding balance.  It took weeks to get my money back.  That money wasn't a gift from the bank.  It was slated for other repairs that needed to be done as part of our signed contract.  Everyone deserves to be able to move into a house that has a functioning toilet and running water.

It sure seemed like they were trying to rip me off in any way they could.  The bank made it easy for them, and they took every advantage they could of my situation.  

My advice: steer clear.  And if you are ever in a position where the bank you are buying your home from is paying for repairs to be performed, if those repairs are going to be performed after you move in, make sure you're the one choosing contractors and subcontractors.  And don't allow anyone to make bids who has bad reviews.  I don't know if Tschida Brothers did before, but they do now.

Brian was the service guy and fixed my water heater. Turns out the issue was a dirty gas line to the heater that he cleaned out, I never would've figured that out! That night my furnace stopped working. They came right out next morning and it was coincidentally a dirty flame sensor that he cleaned for no charge. I will definitely use them again for maintenance or repairs.

I too was suspicious of a company named Ron the Sewer Rat, but I decided to trust my fellow Yelpers and I'm glad I did! I called them up in the morning and left a message and they called me back within about an hour and was able to get out to my place later that same day.  I think he wanted to send someone out right away, but I had an appointment later and he said it was no problem to schedule around it. The guy that was sent to my place was patient and answered all my questions. He didn't talk down to me or try to talk me into additional parts or services. I felt the prices were fair and reasonable. So bottom line, my main line was clogged in the morning, Ron the Sewer Rat came in the afternoon, and in the evening all my drains work. I would call them again and recommend them to anyone who has plumbing issues.

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).

We had a leaky tub faucet and were quoted $700 by a different business to fix it, and they didn't have the parts to fix it that day.  We called A Art's and their plumber (I think his name was Lonn) came out the next day.  He had the parts needed to fix it on his truck and completed the work for $200 less than the other plumber!  He was professional, prompt and did great work.  We were extremely happy with the quality and price of the repairs and would definitely recommend this business.

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.

These guys are criminals this is a predatory business.  They quoted me 4K to repair a boiler.  Two local businesses quoted me ~$300.  They offered overly urgent and misleading data about the issue, tried to hurry my wife to decide telling us that the boiler needed to be replaced.  They will exploit any available opportunity to take as much money as possible.
