Do you offer same-day service in Minneapolis?
Yes — same-day service is the standard in Minneapolis, not the exception. Call and we'll give you an honest arrival window, not a four-hour guess that becomes eight.
Are you licensed to work in Minneapolis?
Yes. We hold Minnesota Master Plumber license ${{SITE.license}}, we're insured, and when a job needs a permit we pull it through the City of Minneapolis and meet the inspector ourselves. Permit costs are part of the flat-rate price you approve up front.
My Minneapolis house was built in 1925. Does it have a lead service line?
It might. The city's inventory is public — you can look up your address on the City of Minneapolis lead service line map — and the city runs a replacement program. Inside the house, pre-1986 copper joints have lead solder regardless. A certified lab test is the only way to know what's at your tap; we'll point you to one rather than pretend a strip can tell you.
How fast can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Minneapolis?
Call us and we'll give you an honest arrival time. For a burst pipe, shut off the main water valve first (usually in the basement near the meter), then call. We offer same-day and emergency service.
Do I need a water softener in Minneapolis?
Usually not. The city softens the river water to around 5 to 6 grains, which is moderate. If you're seeing heavy scale or spotting, something else is going on — often an aging water heater — and the free in-home test sorts it out in twenty minutes.
What's the Truth in Sale of Housing evaluation, and does it cover plumbing?
Minneapolis requires a point-of-sale evaluation on most homes. It checks safety items, including some plumbing, but it does not scope the sewer lateral — the most expensive pipe you'll own. If you're buying a pre-1970 house here, get a separate camera inspection during your contingency period.
Do you charge extra to come to Minneapolis?
No. No travel surcharge, no service-call games — Minneapolis is squarely inside our service area. You get a free estimate and a flat-rate price before any work starts, same as every city we serve.
