Our Local and Residential Plumbing Services

Emergency Plumbing Services

Plumbing emergencies don’t always happen during typical business hours, which is why our team is on standby 24/7. If a pipe bursts or your toilet overflows in the middle of the night, don’t hesitate to give us a call at (507) 320-3601 and we will arrive as quickly as possible to help you return your home to safe living conditions.

Plumbing

Before we even begin working on your plumbing, our plumbers will determine the root cause of the problem with a plumbing inspection and diagnosis. This way, the issue is corrected in its entirety so that similar problems don’t emerge.

Once the issue is identified, you can trust that our plumbers are fully licensed and insured to conduct any plumbing repairs without you being liable.

If you’re adding a new component to your plumbing system or replacing something that’s reached the end of its lifespan, we also provide plumbing installation and replacement services. 

Leaks

Even the tiniest leak can wreak havoc on your plumbing system and result in significant water damage if not addressed quickly and professionally. While the signs of a leak are visible, leak detection should be left to the professionals. 

After the source of the leak(s) has been located, our experts will provide leak repair. These services include:

• Slabs
• Pools

Drains

Beyond being a nuisance when they don’t work, clogged drains can become a health hazard that causes waste to back up or creates a dark, moist environment for mold to thrive. Keeping your drains healthy starts with preventive maintenance services, including: 

• Drain cleaning
• Drain clearing
• Hydrojetting

If you suspect a larger issue is at play with your drains, our experts also provide more in-depth drain services, including:

• Drain inspection
• Drain unclogging 
• Drain installation and replacement

Pumps

There are several types of pumps in home plumbing systems, all with very important roles. Whether your pump is powering your irrigation system, pumping water from a well into your home, or routing water out of your home during a flood, you need professionals who understand the intricacies of each to deliver effective pump installation, repairs, and maintenance. These services include: 

• Water pumps
• Sump pumps
• Well pumps

Water Heater Services

With routine maintenance, water heaters last far longer in your home by preventing unexpected breakdowns and ensuring the warranty is still in place. Even with sufficient maintenance, however, water heaters may wear down over time, or become damaged due to faulty parts. To limit costly replacements, our team offers routine water heater maintenance services to clean and flush the tank, replace anode rods, and identify necessary repairs.

A new water heater installation is an investment that keeps your home running smoothly for years to come. Our team can help you decide which model is best for you, whether it’s a conventional tank, solar powered, or tankless water heater.

• Conventional water heaters
• Tankless water heaters
• Hybrid water heaters
• And more

Toilets

One of the most common plumbing issues is toilets. Whether you have a minor problem or a major overflow issue, let our plumbers handle it with our toilet repair services. 

If the issue is beyond repair, or you’re in the market for a new toilet, we also offer toilet replacement and installation services. We can talk through available options with you and discuss what may be best suited for your home. Our services include all types of toilets.

Faucets

Whether your faucet is not performing to its usual standard, not functioning properly, or malfunctioning due to faulty or damaged parts, our experts can help. We provide faucet repairs for all types of faucets.

Looking to get rid of your dull, residue-laden faucet, or add a new installation? We also offer faucet installation and replacement.

Showers

Over time, your shower drain, pipes, and fixtures may corrode, crack, or fall out of alignment. Taking care of these issues promptly is important for preventing water damage and potentially toxic mold growth. Avoid these risks by counting on our experts for shower repair services. 

If you’re interested in updating your shower, adding a shower to a bathroom with only a tub, or turning to a more environmentally sustainable shower head, we’re at your service with our shower installation services.

Bathtubs

When it comes to your bathtub, routine maintenance services are what help keep it working properly and prevent smells, clogs, and hidden water damage. If you do spot signs of damage, slow drainage, or mold growth, call our plumbers to inspect for safety hazards and conduct careful bathtub repairs.

For tub remodeling or new installation, count on our team for bathtub installation. We’re knowledgeable in handling a variety of tubs, including:

• Whirlpool tubs
• Standard tubs
• Hot tubs
• Walk-in tubs

Sinks

Sinks, much like any other device in our homes, require the proper functionality of all components to work as they should. Any part of the sink may at some point need repair or replacement, which is when you should call our plumbing experts. We’ll take a thorough assessment of the entire sink and determine which parts have malfunctioned and what your most cost-effective solution will be.

If you’re remodeling and in need of a new sink, rely on our plumbers for sink installation. We can help you select the sink that will best fit based on your needs.

Garbage Disposals

It’s likely you haven’t had to think much about your garbage disposal after having it installed. But as with any machine, after years of use, something may go wrong and require fixing. When that happens, you can count on our plumbers to safely repair your garbage disposal for use like new again.

If you’re currently without a garbage disposal, but you’re eager to have one, we also provide garbage disposal installation.

Sewers

Sewer lines are complex, and if problems aren’t handled properly, they can quickly become an emergency. When you hire our professionals, we’ll start with a camera inspection to find the source of the issue.

From there, we’ll discuss with you all the repair options. Many times, sewer lines can be repaired without needing to dig up your lawn. Rather than having your landscaping torn up and turned into a mud patch, we can conduct trenchless sewer repairs. If the problem is something more catastrophic, like a break in the sewer line, we’ll walk you through every option you have before conducting more invasive sewer repairs.

If your sewer lines are beyond repair, or a new line is necessary, we provide sewer line replacement and installation. 

Piping

Prevent major headaches and expensive repair bills by ensuring your piping is properly installed and maintained by professionals. Whether you need services for gas piping or water lines, our experienced team can ensure things are running smoothly to maintain the comfort of your home.

If you’re unsure whether your pipe needs to be repaired or replaced, give our team a call to inspect every detail before making a recommendation on how to best rectify the situation. We also provide services for:

• Frozen pipes
• Leaky pipes

Water Lines

Water lines are responsible for moving water through to every faucet and valve on your property. Having properly functioning water lines is therefore incredibly important for daily life.

Whether your water line is damaged from freezing and thawing pipes, old age, or some other unseen problem, our plumbers will use specialized equipment to locate your water lines. From there, they’ll determine the source of the issue before presenting your best options and conducting efficient water line repairs.

In more severe cases, such as flooding, your water line will likely need replacing. We’ll help you understand where the problem is stemming from and whether replacement or new installation is needed.

Water Treatment

Water treatment processes make your water cleaner and taste better. By removing minerals or contaminants, it’s healthier for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Not to mention, softer water is not as harsh on your plumbing systems, which provides longevity to your pipes and faucets. To improve the water in your home, our experts can install:  

• Water softeners
• Water purification systems 
• Water filtration systems 

Gas Lines

When it comes to your gas lines, safety is key. Any signs of damage or malfunction should always be addressed quickly and serviced professionally. Count on our team for quick, reliable gas line repairs if you notice signs of needed repair such as hissing sounds or strange smells.

If you need replacement gas lines or new installation for a new appliance, a new kitchen, or a new property, we’re ready to help. 

Boilers

If you have a boiler as the primary heat source for your home, making smart decisions about its maintenance affects your utility bills and comfort. As with many home systems, there are many components of a boiler that may require repair at some point in time. From the heat exchanger to the pressure valve and everything in between, we have the experience to provide effective boiler repairs.

Are you looking to upgrade your boiler to one that’s energy-efficient? Curious whether your current unit is draining your wallet faster than necessary? We can help you understand what type of boiler is best for your home and provide replacement or installation services.

Commercial Plumbing Services

Plumbing issues are quite different for businesses than they are in homes. With pipe sizing and flow rates varying from business to business, you need a plumber who understands the nuances and how to appropriately provide services. Our team of professionals provides commercial plumbing services for many plumbing problems, such as:

• Commercial drain cleaning
