We have had the Sewer Rat team out to our house before and were extremely pleased with the result. We especially appreciated their down to earth pricing and approach after having a "bigger name" plumber come out and quote us over $15k for redoing our entire system. Our annual main sewer line cleanout was $380 (a fraction of what we've had to pay for emergency services in the past, SUCH a deal) - we live in an area where our pipes are made of clay, so roots grow through the pipes and we need to get them cleared out regularly. We are going through a lot right now - we have an infant, I am postpartum, and our house is a mess right now, but the technician took it in stride and even talked with us about their kids. I appreciate the kindness and professionalism from their team and would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone in need of their services. read more

I had this company out 2 seperate times to check on water dripping into my garage. Told them I was pretty sure that the leak was coming from the guest bath shower. I spent over 1000 dollars to have them tell me they could not find a leak and they thought it was condensation in the duct work. I had another plumber out today and they found the leak right away in the guest bath shower. read more

I'm a realtor and needed a sewer clean out (tree root) and scope and I needed it yesterday so my buyer could know whether or not they wanted to buy the house. This company answered the phone, A, and were so highly knowledgable, friendly, organized. They made it very easy to get my buyer involved, the seller involved, the other agent and yet have it all be smooth and easy. The technician was amazing, very friendly, wore booties on his shoes, closed the door between equipment haul ins so bugs didn't get in the house, explained the scope in words I could understand and explained it again to my buyer without a problem. The price was as was quoted on the phone. They will now be in my first to call database! read more

I requested a tub drain cleaning, My technician said he would give me a sink and tub cleaning for the same price. Once done with the cleaning we had a major leak from the sink that destroyed our dining room ceiling. They sent the technician back with his supervisor and they put a camera and said the house is old and it probably was a cracked pipe. They said a plumber could come out a week later and give me a quote. At the time he said if it's not a cracked pipe they would be responsible. So I took out the the vanity and the wall it was just a coupling that the cleaner had knocked loose while trying to shove the snake down. All I asked was for a refund of the cleaning and said I would put the ceiling and wall back together. They said no. read more

They were wonderful. John, their master plumber, went above and beyond in helping figure out what turned out to be multiple problems causing leaks from my bathroom into my livingroom ceiling. He did what he could to resolve the plumbing issues and made sure I knew what to do about contributing issues. He was not going to leave until he figured everything out for me. I was very grateful and he helped avert future problems I would have had. Highly praise the work. Had worked with Hessian Plumbing in past years, prior to Ron the Sewer Rat taking over, and was not always pleased but have had them out twice now with the new owner ship and highly recommend them. read more

Tim, our service guy, was awesome to work with. I highly recommend these guys. A little pricy, but no complaints.

I think the reviews speak for themselves! Great experience from start to finish here. We needed a sewer line cleaned ASAP and they were there the very next day (found the clog at 8PM the previous day). Kyle came to our rescue and even let me watch the entire process so that I could learn what he was doing and why. We unfortunately need a sewer line repair as there was a breakage but he was able to provide some great references! The unclogging and sewer scope combined were about $500 total but from what I've been reading online, that's quite reasonable, so I'm happy with the service! Will definitely be calling these guys again if I have any plumbing issues in the future. read more

Hi. When I contacted Ron the Sewer Rat call center they give you a price, length of sewer line and time it takes. Know that the price is an estimate not a certainty. This is not stated on that initial phone call for an appointment. It is when the technician steps onto the property the "real" price is determined. The first question and statement made by the technician was my sewage stack was in a location in my basement that may mean its more than 100 feet from the street. I may pay more. I live in a 100 year old home in South MPLS it can easily be googled mapped to determined its a standard distance from the street. I also have lived here for 42 years and never had these questions asked before upon receiving this service here in the city. The second statement was it may take more than 1-1/2 hours. Two reasons because of unexpected roots and stuff found and I was asked by the technician how long it had been since my last clean out. This needed to be asked by the initial call center if the length of time since the last clean out was important in terms of price quoted. This time limitation was not described initially by the call center as the limit of time, according to the technician if it takes more than 1-1/2 hours I pay more. Then when I said that I intended to pay $380.00 for my drain clean service for my home that was quoted and no more. That I have lived here for 42 years and have never had these question asked by the technician on site to do this task before. The technician became upset with me because I was upset. The technician played my initial recorded message to the call center in front of me. I guess it was to prove the call center said it was an estimate not a quote. My recorded message the technician played did not prove his point it proved mine. This whole experience strikes me as a scripted sales job. Not a company that makes an assessment of your request and wants to do a job for you at a fair quoted price. I will not be hiring Ron the Sewer Rat again. This is because of the company policy and its communication not because of the job done. I will now know more questions to ask the next time when calling a company to do this job. The technician was just following the script and I assume did a fine job. A job I never would want to do. I just wish the company had more interest in being honest at the beginning phone call when initially making an appointment. I would of appreciated that done at the front end not while the technician was on site. It puts the homeowner in an awkward position and only protects the interests of the company not the homeowner. read more

This was the second time I've used Ron the Sewer Rat. I was very satisfied the first time a few months ago that I had no hesitation to call them again when my husband clogged the toilet again. I appreciated that our serviceman, Jeydin, was honest about the work being done, and not once attempted to upsell or make the problem out to be anything other than what it was. He was also very thorough and made sure everything was working right, that I had no questions or concerns before he left, was respectful of our home, and is also a great guy with a matching great personality. To be honest, I'm not sure how their pricing compares to others, but I felt that the price I was quoted and paid was fair. I would definitely recommend Ron the Sewer Rat for their honesty and integrity, and will not hesitate to use them yet again if the need arises! read more

incompetent plumber who didn't investigate the piping and double charging on the repair for job to put pipes back together

Dalton did a very good job for us, explained what he thought was going on, found the problem and cleared the drain. Cleaned up the mess around the clean out. I would highly recommend using Dalton for plumbing problems. read more

Ron the sewer rat is really actually the GOAT in the twin cities. I loved that they asked me to send/email them pictures and videos of my water heater to try to diagnose the issue first instead of automatically sending someone out to take a look at it. That was extremely convenient. It was really quick and easy for them to identify the issue-my water heater needed to be replaced as it has outlived past its lifetime. The size tank I required was hard to find since not many of them are produced anymore and it needed to fit in the small space the old one was in. Thanks to Austin's persistence in inquiring about the special size I needed, luckily their supplier had one in stock. I compared quotes with another plumbing company and Ron the sewer rat's was a much better rate. John who installed the tank was really knowledgeable and informative about the process and tank. I will definitely call them again for any plumbing needs. Thanks for making this process so smooth for a first time home owner read more

They were on time, quick, courteous and most importantly, fixed it. Well done in every regard.

I was able to schedule an appointment easily , I was alerted when the technician was on his way and the technician went to work right away after explaining his thoughts as to the issue. Jaydin, the technician was very polite, did a great job and made sure to clean up after himself! read more

Gerve did a fantastic job. He was here the day after I called for service despite the rush of the holiday season. He was cheerful despite the bad roads from overnight snow, and very knowledgeable, unplugged our toilets quickly. I would call Ron the Sewer Rat again. read more

Yeah, quite expensive. To get a part replaced that I could find relatively inexpensively online, the rat charged, with labor, about $900 (explanation was that tariffs have tripled the cost of anything made of brass), plus a $100 permit fee, plus a $250 backflow test. I felt bad about the cost of the repair and test but swallowed hard and paid for the test in advance. Then it took a couple of weeks after the repair to get on the schedule for the test. When the day of the test finally arrived, I just wanted it to be over with, but John was eager to educate me about the need for the test and how he wanted to do things right. By the time he was done with his download, I was exhausted and was really questioning whether the test was actually needed. He had unintentionally convinced me that it provided no real benefit to me. It's just a bureaucratic maybe-useful-in-theory test that might be required or suggested by local jurisdictions. He spent more time talking to me about it than doing the test. On the plus side, the repair worked allowing me to spend some more money starting up and maintaining my irrigation system. Some things are best left unsaid. Quality adequate, timeline long, cost high, lecture unnecessary. read more
