Plumbing Peace of Mind Starts Here

At Northern Ben Franklin Plumbing, we may share the name of a national brand, but the Northern crew you see in your neighborhood every day is 100% local. We’ve been serving Minneapolis, St. Paul, Anoka, Ramsey, and the surrounding Twin Cities communities for years, and we know exactly what Minnesota homes go through — from frozen pipes in winter to tree root intrusion in older St. Paul sewers.

We believe in being on time, every time — and if we’re late, we’ll pay you $5 for every minute. Our licensed plumbers take the time to thoroughly investigate your issue, explain your options, and let you decide the best solution. Whether it’s unclogging drains, replacing a broken water heater, or installing a new sump pump, we’re here to give you peace of mind.

Water Heater Installation & Repair

Many of our local customers call us for water heater repair and installation in Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’ve noticed fluctuating water temperatures, cloudy water, or leaks near your tank, our technicians can diagnose and repair the problem. We also install high-efficiency water heaters with rebate opportunities through Xcel Energy and CenterPoint, helping Twin Cities families save on energy costs.

Local Plumbing Repair Services

From drain cleaning in Coon Rapids to repiping historic homes in St. Paul, our plumbers handle repairs of every size with the urgency Minnesota homeowners need. Common issues in the Twin Cities include clogged drains, leaking fixtures, frozen pipes, and failing sump pumps — all problems we resolve every day.

We bring years of local experience working on everything from century-old Minneapolis homes with galvanized piping to newer suburbs like Blaine and Maple Grove, where hard water causes early wear on water heaters and fixtures. Whether it’s an urgent burst pipe or a planned upgrade to modern plumbing, you’ll always get straightforward pricing and clear repair options.

Plumbing Challenges Unique to Minnesota Homes

Living in the Twin Cities means your plumbing system faces conditions most other regions never experience. At Northern Ben Franklin, we understand these challenges and deliver solutions built for Minnesota homes:

Freeze–thaw cycles
Subzero winters freeze pipes, and spring thaw shifts the soil around water and sewer lines. These constant changes put stress on underground plumbing, making preventive care and fast repairs essential.

Heavy clay soils
Common in areas like Anoka and Ramsey, clay soil expands and contracts with moisture. This movement often cracks sewer laterals and causes uneven drainage, leading to costly repairs if ignored.

Historic housing stock
Minneapolis and St. Paul are filled with older homes that still rely on galvanized or clay piping. These outdated systems corrode, clog, and leak over time, requiring upgrades to modern, durable materials.

High groundwater levels
In low-lying suburbs like Maple Grove and Blaine, groundwater rises quickly during spring melt or heavy rains. Without a reliable sump pump system, basements are vulnerable to flooding and water damage.

Hard water
Many Twin Cities suburbs draw water from mineral-rich aquifers. Hard water causes scale buildup inside pipes, reduces water heater efficiency, and shortens the lifespan of appliances.

Because we live and work here, our team knows how to anticipate these issues and recommend plumbing solutions that truly fit Minnesota homes.
