Halvorsen Sewer and Drain Cleaning is your neighborhood drain cleaning specialist, serving the Minneapolis Metro area for more than three decades. Locally owned and operated, we take great pride in providing high quality work at an affordable price. Steve Halvorsen started the company back in 1983 with a focus on quality service and customer satisfaction. We quickly became a trusted provider of sewer service and are highly respected in our industry. Owner Eric Vonzel continues that tradition today with our company's commitment to taking care of all of your sewer and drain needs.

"I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer Service highly enough. They have integrity, great pricing, and great service. He saved me from bring ripped-off by a large sewer company to the tune of thousands of dollars. Our sewer backed up on a Sunday and as a first-time homeowner experiencing something like that for the first time, I panicked and called a large sewer/plumbing company. They came out right away and cleared the sewer line. They brought out a guy with a camera who scoped our sewer line and told me it was broken and required an emergency replacement, costing $17,000+ to replace the entire sewer line. I called around for a 2nd opinion and found Halvorsen Sewer Service. Eric responded to me on a Sunday, expressing concern with the assessment by the large company and offering to come take a look at it for me the next day. Eric used his camera and quickly told me that the sewer line WASN'T BROKEN. The perceived break was a buildup of concrete slurry on the bottom of the pipe, causing some water to pool. Eric cleared the concrete slurry from the pipe and told me that he did not think any repairs were necessary. He even provided me with a copy of the video of my sewer line which the large company did not do. I sent the video to a 3rd company and they confirmed Eric's opinion that no repairs to the sewer line were necessary. Halvorson Sewer Service did an incredible job cleaning the sewer line and getting all of the things the large company missed, at a MUCH more competitive price. He educated me thoroughly and gave me great advice on how to maintain the sewer line going forward. If you have sewer line cleaning or inspection needs, I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer highly enough."

We are family owned sewer & water installation/repair business servicing the Western Suburbs of Minneapolis. We are licensed (Master Plumber License #58978PM), bonded and insured with over 30 years experience. We use the latest technologies for BOTH sewer (Sewer Lining - CIPP) & water, and we are trained to know your plumbing from toilet/faucet to sewer/water main in the street. We have specialized equipment to unthaw frozen waterlines.

"Highview Plumbing repaired my sewer line. The line was broken as a result of tree roots that infiltrated the pipe. Highview Plumbing fixed the pipe by installing a cured in place pipe (CIPP). Highview did a great job with the installation and left virtually no trace once they were finished. The inside of my house was as clean as when they first arrived (no mean feat given all of the rain and mud on my lawn that day) and they left the driveway and lawn spotless when they finished the job. I enthusiastically recommend Highview Plumbing. They are very knowledgeable, courteous and extraordinarily diligent in their work. If you are looking for someone to install a CIPP pipe, look no further."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

Sometimes, the drain is just too clogged—thanks, stubborn hair and soap scum. In this case, you’ll need a more powerful drain cleaner than you can DIY safely at home. But this doesn’t mean you have to choose a traditional drain cleaner. 

You can find biodegradable drain cleaners at your local home improvement store or online for those drains that need a little more oomph

While on the hunt for a formidable drain cleaner, the best options are non-chemical clog solutions that combine enzymes and bacteria.
