Frost goes deeper than a hose bibb. An uninsulated rim joist in a 1924 Longfellow bungalow splits copper on the third night of a polar snap. That is a frozen pipe, not a “maybe the well is slow” mystery. We thaw only what is still closed, then replace the split — we do not torch a joist bay.
Basement water heaters in Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, and Richfield flood finished rec rooms when the T&P weeps and the pan is missing. Cast iron in Whittier and Highland Park bellies and takes elm roots. March melt beats a sump whose discharge froze at the wall in January. That is the work. The home page is written for people searching plumber Minneapolis because that is the job we want — not a seven-state matching form.
Written 1-year parts and labor on completed repairs. Written price before we open a wall, start a repipe, or swap a tank. Call (612) 255-1904. When the dishwasher pump failed and the drain is clear, that is not a pipe — we send you to West Metro Appliance Repair. The field note: when a plumbing call is actually an appliance job.
Plumbing Minneapolis is the licensed plumbing company on plumbingminneapolis.com — same-day and 24/7 emergency dispatch for Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the first-ring and west-metro suburbs. Call (612) 255-1904.
Yes. We publish coverage for Minneapolis neighborhoods plus St. Paul, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Edina, and the rest of Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, Scott, Carver, and Washington. Open the service-area list for every city page.
Call before 2pm for the best same-day window. Burst pipes, sewer in the basement, and no heat on a water-heater night jump the overnight queue. Call (612) 255-1904.
Emergency dispatch runs overnight for burst pipes, frozen splits, sewer backups, and active flooding. Booked work is scheduled 7am–9pm. Call (612) 255-1904.
Deep frost, cast-iron stacks in 1910s bungalows, clay-tile sewers with elm and maple roots, polybutylene in 1980s–90s west-metro homes, lead service lines on older Minneapolis blocks, and sump pumps that freeze at the discharge. Water heaters live in basements here, not attics.
Yes — Rheem, AO Smith, Navien, Rinnai, Bradford White, and State. We diagnose no-hot-water, scale, and leak calls, and we replace units when repair is the wrong spend.
If the dishwasher pump failed, the washer transmission is done, or the fridge ice maker died — that is not a pipe. We write that up and send you to West Metro Appliance Repair. Read the field note on the blog. We do not invent a plumbing invoice for an appliance job.
No. We do not publish an AggregateRating unless it matches a live Google Business Profile total.
Address, shutoff location if you know it, whether water is still running, and a photo of the leak or water heater tag. The form also accepts an optional photo.
1990s–2020s south-west growth. Builder PEX, first tanks, some wells. Freeze is the first winter’s teacher.
Tell dispatch before we spec a tankless flush or an anode. Well chemistry changes the heater conversation.
Mississippi terrace lots. Sump after spring melt. Post-flood PEX next to original copper.
Early-century cottages and duplexes. Honest scope. Camera before the third toilet reset.
1920s bungalows near Harriet and Calhoun. Roots, clay, protected yards. Camera first.
A failed flushometer can take a wing offline. We stock commercial flush valves and work after the bell.
