Local Drain & Sewer Problems We Tackle Every Day

Here in the Twin Cities, drains and sewers deal with more than their fair share of trouble. Aging clay or cast iron pipes, heavy tree root growth, freeze-thaw cycles, and old plumbing can turn a small clog or leak into a big, expensive mess fast.

That’s why Northern Ben Franklin Plumbing is equipped to handle every local headache, including:

  • Root invasions: Our hydrojetting service blasts out roots and stubborn blockages without damaging your pipes — a common issue in older Minneapolis neighborhoods with mature trees.
  • Frozen or cracked pipes: Freeze-thaw cycles can cause hidden leaks or pipe bursts. We use advanced leak detection to find and fix problems before they turn into flooded basements or high water bills.
  • Backups from heavy rain: Heavy storms can overwhelm older sewer lines, causing basement backups and floor drain flooding. We inspect, repair, and replace lines as needed to keep everything flowing the right way.

We know local soil conditions, pipe materials, and typical problem spots — because we live here too. So whether you need a quick drain cleanout, a powerful hydrojetting, or a full sewer line replacement, our Northern crew will fix it properly and help you prevent future surprises.
