Are your water bills to high??

This week our company serviced a client that had over a $500 water bill due to a running toilet. It’s important to be aware of everything that goes on in and around your property. Making sure your toilets are working perfect and not running when your not around and checking for drippy faucets it important to saving money. I have friends and clients that don’t think wasting water will be a huge expense but they find out eventually when the city water bill is due. Make sure to be smart and proactive when dealing with your property.

Running water uselessly can add up to hundreds of dollars if not watched. Any runny toilet of drippy faucet can add up more then you expect. Hire a plumber and a plumbing companies that lives near your house. Don’t get stuck paying high truck fees for service companies that come from far away. Mot larger “big named” plumbing companies around the twin cities area charge over $50 just to come out and say hi. We understand if there’s a $5-$15 truck charge but get pay anymore.

Our company has great serviceman and we specialize in so much more then the bigger named companies. Today we stopped a customers running toilet that if he would have hired the wrong company could of had a bill over $400 to repair the inside guts of a toilet.

Hiawatha Plumbing is here for you when you need us. We give great advice and like dealing with customers. We enjoy helping clients and solving problems the best way possible.

Who says your garage can’t look like your living room?

Being in busy for over thirty seven years we’ve seen all sorts of garage styles. Just this past winter when our company was working at a clients home with an amazing garage layout. The owner has it set up with a TV, surround sound, speakers, heaters, a refrigerator, and much more. This client had a garage floor that looked like it was a part of the Daytona 500. The picture below isn’t my clients garage floor but is an example of what it looked like.

If you have a floor drain in the middle of you garage floor make sure to get that cleaned once or twice a year depending on how much you clean and use your garage.

Sewer lines aren’t meant to handle everything you flushing down your drains. Be smart when it comes to flushing.

Commercial Restaurant Floor Drain

Commercial floor drains tend to back up often with all the grease and sludge.

Restaurants tend to have several drains cleaned out on a monthly or b-monthly basis. Toilet and urinals lies also tend to get plugged up.

If you own or manage a commercial property be sure to keep up on your drain cleaning. Drains that you have cleaned out at night or on the weekend will cost you more so plan smart. Emergency service is when plumbing companies make lots of money. We call it “Emergency Dollars”. Have your drain pipes cleaned on maintenance and don’t wait for a clogged drain.

When are dual flushing toilets good to install?

The question I’ve always had is, when I go to clients houses that have dual toilets, I ask myself why? I understand their echo environmentally great but that’s all they have going for themselves. I good toilet these days cost over $200 but it’s well worth it. People that purchase toilet for under $150 will have problems. Toilet aren’t like they used to be. They flush less water which is a huge deal. Most people need to flush several times before leaving the bathroom. 3.6 gallons was the old flush and now were stuck with 1.6 gallons per flush. Honestly 1.6 gallons is nothing.

If I were in the market for buying a toilet I’d spend $400 plus dollars and purchase a power flush toilet. Power flushing toilets uses air pressure and water force. You almost can never clog a power flush toilet.

If your in the market for a new toilet call Hiawatha Plumbing and will guide in the right direction.

Stop buying cheap and buy practical and buy a unit that will last. Remember we use toilets all day, everyday.

Minneapolis plumbers + Tree Root Intrusion

Minneapolis Plumbing company also known as Hiawatha Plumbing offers full drain cleaning services. Below is a picture of that tree roots look like inside your sewer line. Most residential properties have root intrusion but that doesn’t mean you need to excavate. If a company convinces you to dig always get a 2nd opinion.

Tree root intrusion only gets worse and worse as drain lines get older. Drain lines are no different than humans we age. The only way to get rid of 100% of tree root is by excavation but that’s not always needed or an affordable solution. Just cause one company says your sewer line needs to be excavated, another company might say you have years before you need to perform that work. Having your main sewer line in Minneapolis cleaned annually will also slow down root growth. Cleaning your sewer drain line is the number #1 solution to cleaning roots. If you neglect cleaning tree roots your plumbing drain lines will separate and fall apart. Once the sewer line shifts to much that debris can’t flow to the city sewer line you will have no choice but to excavate.
Hiawatha Plumbing has been servicing drain lines in Minneapolis since 1947. We understand that lines get used and need to be maintained to function properly. Our prices are affordable for everyone’s budget being less then 1/3 the prices of big names companies around Minneapolis – St. Paul area.

Outside Drain Covers for access main line

Clean-outs that are located outside in landscapes or yards are IMPORTANT to have and not cover up. Cleaning out sewer lines from outside is almost always a huge plus, unless you are experiencing an inside main line clog. Cleaning a sewer line from outside keeps the mess their instead of in your home. We suggest if you have an exterior drain clean-out to perform maintenance on that drain before winter. Sewer lines that get routine maintenance last longer then drain lines that get neglected. Sewer Drain lines that are neglected will eventually have more issues then ones that are kept up. Neglected lines will have excavation needs sooner then they should. Maintain your sewer line annually each year before winter. You’ll be happy you do.
If you forget to maintain your sewer line before winter chances are that the fitting will freeze shut. If not able to open then the cleaning will take place inside. Don’t try and open from outside unless you know what your doing. By not having the experience you could move the line further down the line and be forced to dig and re-due the pipe.

Hiawatha Sewer Company

Since 1947 Hiawatha Sewer has been around serving clients with all types of drain cleaning problems. Hiawatha Sewer has made tons of new connections and relationships since then. Just this past week we serviced clients that we have worked for over 20 years ago. It really means something to a company when we keep getting “Repeat” business. After about 15 years of drain cleaning we incorporated plumbing into our daily business work. Back when drain cleaning companies started they never had “plumbers” on staff. As we all know when things age they break. Being that plumbing pipes were getting old and routed we decided to hire a full time plumber to our crew.
Looking back on the decision and the routes we’ve taken it looks like we made the right choices.
Now servicing thousands of clients a year throughout the entire Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities area we enjoy what we do and going to continue to add and grow.
In the last 10 years we have had the ability to scope (camera inspect) the inside of sewer lines. Back before cameras were around companies used to dig were the cable got stuck. Having camera technology at our fingertips is a huge benefit for our company and to know exactly were to start excavating. This next year were buying an even more powered camera and what will come next stay tuned.

Is it smart to camera inspect your sewer line?

Every so often it’s a good idea to have a professional company take a peek inside your sewer line. Years and years and build up accumulate in your sewer line and harden to the walls of your sewer pipe. Each year it’s recommended to clean out your sewer line with a professional machine (not the machines you can just rent). Having a professional work on a cavity is the same as having a plumbing or drain cleaner work on your drain. Your sewer line and your main exit feed for all debris from your house to the city main. If you sewer has any dips, back pitches and separations that will prevent debris from getting to the main city tap.
Having your main sewer line looked at professionally with a camera will tell you the entire story. Cleaning is step #1 but putting a camera in and seeing the entire picture is step #2. By cleaning your main sewer line once a year you may prevent having to go to step #3 and #4 which include excavation.
Call Hiawatha Sewer for all drain and plumbing questions and of course help on cleaning your mainline the right way.
