Plumber in Brooklyn Park, MN

East on 610 or straight down Bottineau Boulevard — County Road 81 is our usual way in.

Brooklyn Park is really two plumbing cities. South and east it's 1950s–70s stock with cast iron, copper and sewer laterals old enough to take roots. North toward 610 and the Maple Grove line it's newer PEX construction where the failures are appliances. We work both ends.

The water in Brooklyn Park

Brooklyn Park runs its own water utility. Hard water is a fact of life here as it is across the north metro, and softener service is steady work, but it's a different system than Maple Grove's — the city publishes its own annual numbers.

The housing stock here

Brooklyn Park is one of the larger cities in Minnesota and its housing spans decades. South and east you find 1950s–70s stock with cast iron and copper. North and west, out toward 610 and the Maple Grove line, it's newer construction on PEX.

Drains and sewer

Two different stories in one city. The older southern neighborhoods behave like Crystal or Brooklyn Center — cast-iron laterals, roots, corroded stacks. The newer north end behaves like Maple Grove, where the failures are appliances.

Permits and who issues them

Brooklyn Park issues plumbing permits through its own inspections department. We apply for the permit and handle the inspection ourselves.

Knowing the ground

Hwy 610 and the Richard P. Braun Bridge over the Mississippi to Coon Rapids are how we move around up here, and they're also a rough dividing line for what we'll find in a basement. Tell us your cross streets on the phone and we can usually guess what your drain stack is made of before we arrive.

What we do in Brooklyn Park

Questions we get from Brooklyn Park homeowners

My Brooklyn Park drains all slow down at once. What's that?

When more than one fixture slows together — especially if the toilet gurgles when the washer drains — you're looking at the main line, not a fixture clog. In the older parts of the city that's usually roots or a corroded cast-iron lateral. A camera tells us which.

Do you work both sides of 610 in Brooklyn Park?

Yes, and it matters which side you're on. North of 610 is generally newer construction on PEX. South is older stock where the pipe itself is the problem. Same crew either way.

Is cast-iron pipe something I have to replace right away?

Not automatically. Cast iron corrodes and channels from the inside, and a camera shows how far along it is. Sometimes you've got years. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a stack replacement you don't need yet.
