Had issues with a clogged drain that was causing flooding in my laundry room. I called Chris with Complete Plumbing, and he got back to me quickly and scheduled a time to come out that worked for me. Him and Dylan were very friendly and professional and resolved the issue quickly. Highly recommend!

Excellent workmanship, reasonable rates and superior communication. I'm a lender and we had a last minute fix on a home that required a plumber. Mikel not only did the job quickly and for a great price. When the underwriter needed clarification on the scope of work he was quick to respond and go us to closing without a delay. Thank You!!!!

I scheduled an appointment just before the holidays, and Neil came out on December 31 to unclog my pipes. He did an excellent job. Unfortunately, the very next day the pipes clogged again, so I called and Neil returned the following Monday, January 5. At that time, he diagnosed that the main pipes under my house were broken and needed repair. We scheduled the work, and although he mentioned it could take up to two days, Neil and his team completed the repairs in just one day. I was extremely pleased with their professionalism and efficiency. Neil thoroughly explained the entire process, including what was being done and the expected outcome. I am very satisfied with the service and truly appreciate their hard work.

Called in on Monday morning just to schedule a regular service and they had a cancelation so were able to come out that morning. I have a 1964 Milwaukee Thermoflo oil furnace with electric for dual fuel. Tim, the service man, was awesome! He knew this old furnace and it ended up i needed a new belt along with the typical nozzle, and oil filter. I've been using Valley Service Mech for a few years now and they have always done a great job at a fair price. Thanks again!

I’ve used Valley Service Mechanical twice for leaks in toilets on different occasions. They answer the phone quickly, are polite, and were able to get Jordan out fast. He has great communication, explained what the issue is, wasn’t trying to upsell me, and had affordable pricing. Grateful to have found them and I highly recommend!!

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Skooters Plumbing & Drain Cleaning. From the moment I contacted them, their team was professional, friendly, and quick to respond. They arrived right on time, explained the issue clearly, and got to work immediately. I had a battery backup sump pump installed and their work was phenomenal. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and respect for my home — they worked efficiently, cleaned up afterward, and made sure everything was running perfectly before leaving. The pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprise charges. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, honesty, and genuine care for their customers, but Skooters does exactly that. I’ll definitely be calling them for any future plumbing needs and recommending them to friends and family! Huge shoutout to Kolby, he is an awesome asset to the Company!!

Running six car washes in Fargo, and the team at Skooters Plumbing & Drain Cleaning has been nothing short of outstanding. They are extremely responsive, punctual, and respectful every time we call. What really stands out is their versatility, they’ve helped us with everything from plumbing and HVAC to boiler systems and inground heat. No matter the issue, they handle it quickly and professionally. It’s genuinely a 10 out of 10 experience every time. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled service!

As a single homeowner in my 20s who doesn't know a thing about plumbing, Skooters Plumbing has made all the difference. When another company quoted me $20,000 to replace my sewer line, Skooters plumbing came to my house and actually fixed the issue - saving me nearly that entire $20k I was originally quoted. They were clean, communicated well, and were nothing but patient throughout the process as I asked questions. A week later, I had a completely different issue when the freezing temps froze a water line in my house and it cracked open resulting in water all over my storage room and laundry room. Skooter took my phone call after hours, FaceTimed me through exactly what to do to stop the problem before they came to my house, and again, the team talked me through each part of the process when it was fixed. I can't say enough good things about this crew and the work they do. I am so grateful to have someone I trust, can call without worry, and depend on to both educate me and fix the issue at hand.

Answers by text, always appreciated. Ive met 3 on their team because of multiple issues, but never had to repeat a job. Everybody is respectful and thoughtful. Surprisingly, everybody cleans up. Plumbers always seem to leave a mess for me. I havent had to clean because they came in to unclog or fix something. Quick, and willing to fit me in the next day.

I had a significant sewer gas problem in the older house I had purchased. I paid $2500 to two different outfits for assistance and did not get the issues resolved. Because I live 75 miles from Fargo, and had to reach out to that area for plumbers, it meant they had to travel a total of 150 miles. The second outfit I hired charge me $1,250 to travel to my house (I'm not kidding!) and another 300 for their time spent looking for the problem and not finding it, just a little issue. They arranged to come back and said it might take two days, and it would cost another $3,500 to $5,000 for their labor, IN ADDITION to $1250 for each trip. In other words, I could end up paying $3,750 before they even got to work!! I fired them and was was led to Propress through various calls to other companies for help. A journeyman and apprentice showed up the first day, they found the problem within 20 minutes. It wasn't even that hard, because I had already opened up the dropped ceiling to remove some damaged tiles and didn't want to close it up until I was sure any exposed plumbing was right. All they had to do was cut out a couple short lathe (the plaster was already gone) and shine their flashlight to see the problem, which no one else was competent to do. They came back with the master plumber and the three of them got to work, redid a good portion of the plumbing right through the exhaust pipe, and charged me $3,000 total INCLUDING travel. No more sewer gas smell. They didn't even have to take out any more of the ceiling, it was already exposed. Thank God for Chris and his crew, who just did competent work and charged a reasonable price for it.

Chris was responsive and helpful - when our boiler pump failed and we were without heat, he and his team worked over their lunch break to respond quickly and fit us in between the work they already had scheduled for the day. Highly recommend.

Reaching out to Maynard Brothers Plumbing LLC turned out to be an excellent decision. They were the only ones who promptly responded when I faced an issue with a blocked sewer line. They managed to arrive at my residence promptly and were quick to identify the problem using a sewer camera. Their technician, Bryce, was both proficient and professional. He was able to clear the line effectively and restore my plumbing system to full functionality swiftly. All in all, I was thoroughly pleased with the service I received, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone requiring plumber services.

Fantastic service! My spouse and I had a leak in our outdoor shower. We reached out to a couple of plumbers we'd used before, but got no response for a good while. We also contacted another company but they were fully booked for several months. Luckily, one of our neighbors recommended Edwin from Maynard Brothers Plumbing LLC. He got back to us the very same day! The next day, he sent Bryce over to inspect the issue and he was able to repair it immediately! As individuals who also work in the contractor business, we know how challenging scheduling and managing workload can be. However, Edwin was the only plumber in Fargo who responded promptly and resolved our pipe leak. We would definitely endorse their services!

I wanted to share a huge thank you to Legacy! They helped me upgrade my broken 6-year-old Goodman furnace on 12/5/2025 after a service call on 12/3/2025. The original unit was in bad shape, largely due to the heat exchanger being plugged with drywall dust from a bad initial installation by the homebuilder. ​The HVAC team members who helped me were Tommy, Blake, Austin, and Jackson. Tommy performed a thorough inspection, identifying both the faulty exhaust boot drain and running a heat exchanger test, which made the difficult decision to replace the unit much easier. Austin and Jackson completed the install properly and even fixed some old ventilation errors. All showed professionalism and excellent customer service! I will definitely be calling Legacy again for assistance if needed.

We recently had our boiler motor replaced by Legacy, which unfortunately led to an issue with an old valve that caused water in our basement. Tommy, the manager, responded immediately, coordinated the restoration/carpet repairs, and covered all the costs. After talking with Tommy about our options, we ultimately chose to replace our old boiler and heater with a Combi unit. Kyle came out that next day to start working and he did an excellent job! With the help of Jaxon and Nick, they were able to finish everything in two days. They were hardworking, respectful, and left everything clean. A few days later, Jaydon came back out for the inspection, which went flawlessly. This was a very unexpected expense, but we’re really glad we stuck with Legacy. They truly stand behind their work, and their customer service is unmatched.

I recommend Legacy Plumbing to my clients and friends all the time, and in the last two weeks we got to experience their service twice at our own house thanks to some truly impressive “DIY did you do this?” projects from previous owners. Both times, they were accommodating, quick, efficient, clean, and cost effective. Honestly, it was such a relief. From the moment someone answers the phone, you can tell they get it. Nobody is calling a plumber on a whim because it sounds fun. The office team and on call staff were kind, compassionate, and genuinely understanding, which matters more than people realize when something is leaking, backing up, or just plain stressing you out. Tyler P and Saadque were fantastic. Friendly, professional, and they even gave our dogs some pets, which is always a win in my book. If you’re Googling a plumber, don’t shop on price alone. A low price can also mean low care for the customer experience. Legacy proves you can have great service and fair pricing in one place. Life really does flow better with Legacy. Do yourself a favor and just call the best first.

Northstar was recommended by an independent plumber who was too booked out to get to our home. We were told that Northstar was great to work with on jobs. Tried them out for a water heater replacement. Great communication from their dispatch; professional, clean, prompt service from the technician. One recommendation was made to add an additional shut-off valve, which is something I had also noted. Outside of that single suggestion, no sales add-ons were recommended. I had to leave, and all of my "please do this before you leave" requests were followed. Overall great service, we will absolutely be using them again! We did call them again for a low-pressure faucet. When the technician arrived, the issue was found to be homeowner idiocy, lol. So he walked me through fixing it myself. And didn't even charge a service call (which i tried to pay, because I felt really dumb). He was soooo nice. This absolutely sealed the deal that Northstar will be our plumbing/drain go-to going forward.

I called Northstar for water in my crawl space at 12AM, and they came out promptly with a plan to get it remediated as fast as possible. They were able to do that for the evening, then came back the next day with a full gameplan to prevent any future issues. Would recommend Northstar to anybody

So far we are impressed with the professionalism and the correctness of the NorthStar plumbing! We hired them to do a plumbing re-fit in a bathroom remodel and they were very direct and honest upfront with their quote and understanding of the problems at hand.

Cleared out the basement floor drain as it was draining a bit slowly. Even texted to follow up to make sure everything was still going OK. Unfortunately it turned out it was also the pipe where the washer was draining that also needed clearing out. He came back at no additional charge and cleared that out as well and now everything is draining as it should! That is fantastic customer service that is becoming rare nowadays. Will certainly call Plumbwise, and recommend him to others, for any plumbing needs in the future.

FIrst company to answer my call after my water heater went out. Scheduled an appointment and was right on time. We were told at home depot the water heater installation would be between 800 to 1200 dollars. He quoted us for 625 dollars. I’d say beyond fair pricing for the an installation. We received a water heater that was damaged,, which was found during un boxing. We had to buy a larger water heater because home depot didn’t have the same 40 gallon water heater, we bought the last one on stock on sunday. After installation, I received a message asking if any issues anther the installation. I thought to myself, that’s customer service, that’s how everyone should be treated. Talking with DJ knowing he had other jobs scheduled that day, he still had time to check back with me to make sure everything was good. I can admit, i won’t be calling anyone else from now on. I have DJ’s number saved in my phone and for sure will recommend anyone to him for his services. Thank you again for your help!

Verify Availability Before You Call

Professional Drain Cleaning in Moorhead, Minnesota

Living in the Red River Valley means dealing with unique plumbing challenges, from shifting clay soils to extreme temperature swings. Finding a reliable plumber in Moorhead shouldn't feel like a guessing game when you have a backed-up sink or a basement floor drain overflowing. We’ve simplified the process by managing a network of local professionals, ensuring you get the help you need without the endless cycle of leaving voicemails and waiting for a callback.

Our service goes beyond a simple directory. When you contact us, we filter our certified technicians by your exact Moorhead zip code and personally call them to confirm they can handle your specific drain issue today. Whether you are located near Minnesota State University Moorhead or out toward the newer developments near Village Green, we verify 24-hour availability so your emergency is handled by someone who is actually ready to work right now.

Common Drain Issues in Moorhead, Minnesota

Red River Soil Shifts: The heavy clay soil throughout Moorhead is notorious for shifting during the intense freeze-thaw cycles. This movement can cause underground sewer lines to belly or crack, leading to recurring clogs that a simple plunger cannot resolve.

Historic Home Plumbing: In the older neighborhoods near Concordia College, many homes still feature cast iron or even clay pipes. These aging systems are prone to internal scaling and corrosion, which catches hair and debris, causing frequent kitchen and bathroom blockages.

Root Intrusion from Mature Trees: Moorhead’s beautiful tree-lined streets come with a hidden cost. Tree roots are drawn to the moisture in sewer lines, especially in older residential areas. Once they penetrate a pipe, they create a thick web that traps waste and causes catastrophic backups.

Sump Pump and Floor Drain Issues: Given our proximity to the Red River, many Moorhead basements rely heavily on floor drains. When these drains become clogged with silt or sediment during high-water seasons, it significantly increases the risk of basement flooding during heavy rains.

Hard Water Mineral Scaling: Like much of Western Minnesota, Moorhead's water can lead to significant mineral buildup. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits constrict the diameter of your pipes, slowing down drainage and making it easier for everyday waste to cause a total blockage.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Moorhead, Minnesota

Winter Freeze Protection: Ensure your outdoor spigots are disconnected and drained before the first hard freeze in October. Frozen pipes can lead to bursts that dump debris into your drainage system once they thaw in the spring.

Spring Flood Preparation: Before the Red River crests each spring, have your basement floor drains inspected. Ensuring your backflow preventer is clear of debris is essential for protecting your home during heavy snowmelt or spring rainstorms.

Fall Leaf Clearance: Keep your outdoor area drains and gutters clear of fallen leaves. In Moorhead, autumn debris can quickly wash into yard drains, leading to localized pooling and foundation pressure during late-season storms.

Summer Condensate Check: With the high humidity of a Minnesota summer, your AC condensate lines work overtime. Ensure these small drains are clear of algae or slime buildup to prevent water damage inside your utility closet.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Moorhead, Minnesota

$150-$475

Prices in Moorhead typically vary based on the severity of the clog and the equipment required, such as motorized snakes or high-pressure hydro-jetting. Emergency after-hours calls or jobs requiring sewer camera inspections to locate root damage will typically fall on the higher end of the scale.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Moorhead, Minnesota

How quickly can I get a drain cleaner to my home in Moorhead?

Because we verify 24-hour availability by calling plumbers in our Moorhead network directly, we can often find a technician who can arrive at your property within a few hours of your request.

Do you service all parts of Moorhead, including areas near the Red River?

Yes, our zip code filtering covers the entire Moorhead area, from the historic downtown district to the southern residential expansions, ensuring we find a plumber closest to your specific location.

Why should I use your service instead of calling a plumber myself?

We save you the frustration of calling multiple Moorhead plumbers who might be busy or unavailable. We filter by your zip code and confirm their current schedule and ability to solve your specific issue before you even talk to them.

Is hydro-jetting available for tough clogs in Moorhead?

Yes, many of the certified plumbers in our network offer hydro-jetting, which is particularly effective for removing the tough tree roots and heavy mineral scale common in Clay County plumbing systems.

What should I do if my floor drain backs up during a spring thaw?

Contact us immediately. We will scan for an available Moorhead plumber who specializes in emergency backflow and floor drain issues to prevent further water damage to your basement during the thaw.
