Drain Clearing for Minneapolis–St. Paul Homes

A slow drain might not seem urgent — until your sink fills up, your shower backs up, and you’re left dealing with dirty water and frustration. Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® clears clogs fast and keeps them from coming back, so you can stop worrying and get on with your day.

Why Drains Clog in the Twin Cities

Around Minneapolis and St. Paul, older homes often have aging pipes and tree roots that love to sneak into sewer lines. Grease, hair, soap scum, and debris build up over time, narrowing the pipe until water has nowhere to go. Add in our freeze-thaw winters and shifting ground, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for stubborn clogs and unexpected backups.

How We Clear Drains — the Right Way

Anyone can dump chemicals down a drain. We do it right. Our licensed plumbers find the source of the clog, clear it safely, and check that the pipe is flowing free — not just poked open temporarily. For tough build-up or root intrusions, we offer hydrojetting to blast away years of debris. If we need to see exactly what’s going on, we use camera inspections for a clear view inside your pipes.

Homeowners across Minneapolis, St. Paul, Anoka, Ramsey, Maple Grove, and nearby count on us to clear clogs quickly and prevent future headaches. When you call Northern, you get peace of mind — and pipes that flow like they should.
