Sewer & Drain Service
Across the Twin Cities
Hiawatha Sewer has cleared, inspected, and repaired sewer lines across the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro since 1947. As a third-generation family business, we've worked on the older housing stock that defines much of the Twin Cities — homes with clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg main lines that are prone to root intrusion and backups. Knowing what's typically in the ground under a given neighborhood is part of how we diagnose a problem quickly.
We focus our service on the communities below. If you don't see your city, call us at 612-722-2212 — we serve much of the metro and can confirm whether we cover your area.
Communities We Focus On
Minneapolis — Many older Minneapolis homes have clay or cast iron main lines where tree roots work in at the joints, one of the most common causes of the whole-house backups we clear here.
St. Paul — St. Paul's established neighborhoods and older pipe make root intrusion and aging-line issues frequent; we handle both routine cleanings and the recurring backups that point to a deeper problem.
Roseville — A post-war suburb that filled in through the 1950s and '60s, Roseville has many homes now on 60-plus-year-old main lines, and its mature boulevard trees are a frequent source of the root intrusion we clear from those pipes.
Richfield — One of the Twin Cities' original first-ring suburbs, Richfield built out rapidly in the 1950s, so much of the city still runs on original mid-century clay and cast iron main lines that are now prone to cracks and root intrusion.
St. Louis Park — An established inner-ring suburb just west of Minneapolis, St. Louis Park mixes pre-war and mid-century homes, which means a range of aging main-line materials we regularly clear, camera-inspect, and repair.
Golden Valley — A largely mid-century northwest suburb with a mature tree canopy, Golden Valley sees the classic combination of aging main lines and tree roots seeking them out at the joints.
New Brighton — With a long-established residential core, many New Brighton homes have older main lines where recurring backups often trace back to roots or a deteriorating section rather than a simple clog.
Fridley — Fridley grew quickly during the post-war building boom of the 1950s and '60s, and much of that original pipe is now at the age where root intrusion and aging-line problems become common.
Bloomington — One of the metro's largest post-war suburbs, Bloomington built out through the mid-century, so many homes are now on aging main lines; we provide cleaning, camera inspections, hydro jetting, and sewer repair across the city.
Also Serving Across the Metro
We also provide sewer and drain service in many other Twin Cities communities, including Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, Minnetonka, Apple Valley, Maplewood, Shoreview, Woodbury, Coon Rapids, Blaine, and Cottage Grove. Not sure if we reach you? Call 612-722-2212 and we'll confirm.
No matter the city, our core work is the same:
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
What We Do Across the Area
Why Local Experience Matters
A lot of Twin Cities homes were built when clay and cast iron were standard, and some still have Orangeburg pipe from the mid-century. Those materials crack, corrode, and let roots in as they age — and the problems tend to show up differently depending on a home's era and location. Decades of working across these neighborhoods means we're not guessing at what's likely in the ground; we diagnose with a camera and tell you what we actually find.
