Loon Plumbing

Plumber in Shoreview, MN

Same-day service · Free estimates · Upfront flat-rate pricing

A city of lakes on its own wells — and since 2016, a new treatment plant that finally cleared the iron and manganese out of the water. What it didn't remove is the hardness, and that's still your plumbing's main opponent. We quote a flat price before we start.

Local knowledge

We're local to Shoreview — actually local

Not a national franchise, not a call center routing you to whoever's available. We're a family plumbing company, and Shoreview is a city we work all the time — the neighborhoods around Turtle, Snail, and Owasso lakes, the wooded lots along the Rice Creek chain, and the established streets throughout.

Shoreview built out mostly from the 1960s through the '80s, wrapped around its lakes and the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes park reserve. That means a city of maturing mid-century-and-later homes under a lot of tree canopy — and plumbing that's now well into middle age.

What Shoreview throws at its plumbing

New plant, no more rust — but still hard

Shoreview runs its own six wells into deep sandstone aquifers, and that groundwater used to arrive with enough iron and manganese to stain fixtures and tint the water. In 2016 the city opened a new treatment plantthat pulled iron and manganese down to essentially zero — a real fix. What the plant doesn't do is soften, so the water is still hard, and a softener remains the thing protecting your heater and fixtures from scale.

Mid-century-and-later homes around the lakes

Most of Shoreview went up from the 1960s through the '80s, wrapped around Turtle, Snail, and Owasso lakes. The plumbing shares that range — older copper and galvanized in the earliest neighborhoods, newer materials toward the '80s builds — with original shutoff valves and water heaters now aging across the whole city. We fix the weak links and leave the rest alone.

Lakes, the Rice Creek chain, and a high water table

Shoreview is named for its lakes for a reason — Turtle, Snail, Owasso, and the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes thread right through it. Near the water and in the low spots the water table sits high, so basements here rely on their sump pumps through wet springs and summer storms. And mature trees over older clay laterals make roots and recurring backups worth getting ahead of.

From our customers

“Our water heater died on a Sunday and they had a new one in Monday morning. The price he quoted on the phone walkthrough was the price on the invoice.”

— Angela M.

“Finally a plumber who didn't try to sell us a whole system. He fixed the valve, showed us what to watch for, and left the utility room cleaner than he found it.”

— Kevin T.

Good to know

Shoreview questions, answered straight

Do you offer same-day service in Shoreview?

Yes — same-day service is the standard in Shoreview, 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 Shoreview?

Yes. We hold Minnesota Master Plumber license PM652496, we're insured, and when a job needs a permit we pull it through the City of Shoreview and meet the inspector ourselves. Permit costs are part of the flat-rate price you approve up front.

Didn't Shoreview fix its water? Is it still hard?

Both are true. Shoreview runs its own wells into deep sandstone aquifers, and that water used to carry enough iron and manganese to stain fixtures and tint the water. The city's newer treatment plant, online since 2016, pulled iron and manganese down to essentially zero — a real fix for the rust and color. What the plant doesn't do is soften, so the water is still hard. A softener remains the thing protecting your water heater and fixtures from scale, and we'll size it to your actual water.

We have an older home near one of the lakes. Is the plumbing a problem?

Not automatically — a lot of Shoreview's homes were built well. But most of the city dates from the 1960s through the '80s, so the original copper, galvanized, shutoff valves, and water heaters are now aging across the board. We'd rather read your specific home and fix the weak links than pitch a whole-house repipe you may not need.

Why does my basement rely so much on its sump pump?

Shoreview is named for its lakes for a reason — Turtle, Snail, Owasso, and the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes thread right through it, and near the water the table sits high. That's exactly where basements take on groundwater in a wet spring or after a summer storm. A dependable sump pump, ideally with a battery backup, is the front line, and a camera inspection tells us whether roots are behind any recurring backups.

Do you charge extra to come to Shoreview?

No. No travel surcharge, no service-call games — Shoreview is home turf for us. You get a free estimate and a flat-rate price before any work starts, same as every city we serve.
