Sewer & drain cleaning in Minneapolis, done right the first time
Older Minneapolis housing sits on clay main lines and, in many neighborhoods, still-combined storm-and-sanitary sewers — a mix that produces the basement backups, root intrusions, and slow drains we see every week. Kitchen sinks, tubs, floor drains, main lines, and camera-guided diagnostics for Minneapolis homeowners and businesses.

What we see in Minneapolis homes
Minneapolis has one of the oldest sewer systems in the Upper Midwest — the first city sewer was built around 1870 under Washington Avenue South. That history is what shapes the drain and sewer problems we see across the city.
Housing stock: A large share of Minneapolis homes were built between 1900 and 1940, meaning original clay sewer laterals under the yard are common. Newer neighborhoods on the edges have PVC or cast iron.
Common pipe material: Per Minneapolis Public Works history, clay has been the preferred material for city sewer pipes up to 33″ in diameter since 1896 — and it is still the dominant material under the older core of the city today.
What we see most in Minneapolis: Root intrusion at aging clay joints, kitchen-line grease buildup in older duplex conversions, and basement backups tied to combined-sewer overflow (CSO) areas after heavy rain.
Neighborhoods and areas we regularly work in: North Loop, Northeast, Uptown, Longfellow, Nokomis, Powderhorn, Whittier, Camden, Downtown, and the Southwest neighborhoods.
