We have been avid RV'rs for nearly 30 years and have owned several different types of RV's. Everything from a pickup with a topper and air mattress to a pop-up pickup camper, hard side pickup camper, travel trailer, 5th wheel and destination (park model) trailer. Discounts available for active or retired military, law enforcement, EMS and Fire Service personnel. It's our Everyday Heros Reward. We are committed to providing our customers with the best RV tank cleaning and system services possible. We take pride in our work and strive for excellence in everything we do. We are a family owned and operated business. Our main service involves using our specialized hydro jetting machine to clean the gray and black holding tanks in your RV. We essentially scrub the interior of your RV's holding tanks clean, getting them as clean as they were when the RV left the manufacturer, using 1500 PSI water (which does not damage your RV's tanks or plumbing system). Approximately two hours are needed for this operation, depending on the quantity of tanks and the seriousness of any issues discovered. The best thing about Minnesota RV Tank Cleaning is that in addition to cleaning and servicing your holding tanks, water heater tank, freshwater tank, waste system, and plumbing system, we also provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to maintain their condition.

Ive worked for a property management company for three years and have learned how to do just about repair in a home. My strong points are in flooring and plumbing. I will never leave a home owner unsatisfied with the work I do and never cut corners on jobs I have in front of me.

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Foundation repairs cost about $5,000, on average. Typically, prices range from $2,200 to $7,800, depending on the type and extent of repairs needed. Cost factors include foundation type, home size, soil stability, accessibility, and the ultimate cause of the problem and what methods and materials are required to fix it.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
