Three Generations of Twin Cities Sewer Work Since 1947
Hiawatha Sewer is a third-generation, family-owned sewer and drain company serving the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro since 1947. For nearly 80 years, we've focused on one thing and done it well: keeping sewer and drain lines flowing for Twin Cities homeowners and businesses.
What Makes Us Different
We specialize in sewer lines. We're not a general handyman operation — sewer and drain work is all we do, from routine backups to main line repair and lining. That focus means we diagnose faster and get it right.
We diagnose before we guess. We camera the line so you can see what's actually happening inside your pipe. No scare tactics and no selling you a repair you don't need — if a cleaning solves it, we tell you; if there's real damage, we show you the footage and walk you through honest options.
Fair prices. We provide professional, dependable service at up to 50% less than the national companies. We're local, not a franchise with overhead to cover.
Local knowledge. Decades of working across Twin Cities neighborhoods mean we know the older clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg lines common in these homes — and how they fail — so we're not guessing at what's in the ground.
What We Do
Our core services for homes and businesses across the metro:
Main Sewer Line Cleaning — clearing whole-house backups and root clogs
Sewer Camera Inspection — seeing exactly what's happening inside the line
Hydro Jetting — scouring grease, roots, and buildup from the full pipe
Sewer Line Repair & Lining — fixing the cause when cleaning isn't enough, trenchless where possible
