"I had roots in the drain pipe along with a crack in the pipe under my deck. First visit they cleared the pipe of roots and the second visit installed a sleeve through the pipe to prevent future problems. Both visits were very professional and when they were done they provided a camera view. This allowed me to see their finish product. "

"Shane, the plumber, cleared the drain clog. He was friendly, on time, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Shane estimated it would take an hour and it took only about half an hour. I was then charged a ridiculous $830. I feel I was way overcharged and am not happy with this. I do not recommend Dean's Home Services."

You deserve a safe and reliable home. Get the job done right the first time with outstanding customer service from the Twin Cities top rated electrician. Outlets, fans, lighting, smoke detectors, switches, and service panels. Your full service electrician.

"The dishwasher wiring that Randy's installed in my home fried out 6 months after they did the work, almost causing a fire in my home. Luckily the circuit breaker enabled to cut power. In the doing the work, Randy's said my Bosch dishwasher had to be hardwired vs. how Bosch sent from the factory. Randy's rewired the Bosch wire box which did not work after they left and they had to come back out because the box was "arcing" and causing the circuit breaker to enact. This should have raised alarms with Randy's but no. Eventually the box melted down, which I did not initially know, causing us to purchase a new dishwasher only to find out by Warners Stellian that the box was fried. Randy's did engage in discussions on the topic but accepted no accountability, initially denying they even did the work. After pressing the issue they finally admitted to rewiring the box but said they can't accept accountability because it was provided by them. When pressed on why they would rewire a Bosch electrical box they would never support vs. installing their own box - they had no answer and said it was a good question. They admitted they should have probably installed their own box and not touched the Bosch box but would still not accept any accountability for their poor workmanship. I was glad to see Randy's admit they should approach these situations differently in the future but very disappointed they would not admit to fault here or warranty the work. Randy's did not act in good faith and I would not use them again. For reference, they were at my house for 4 hours and I was charged $2700 for the work (multiple small projects). They are one of the most expensive outfits you can hire and they claim you get what you pay for. Apparently I paid for a near fire in my house and a $1500 dishwasher opportunity. Disappointed."

"It wasn't timely. He hires cheap labor that does everything but isnt good at anything. The framers were hacks using broken lumber in spots. Sheetrock cracked and needed repair ( which they did) the new shower was installed without specialized mounting clips and the flange on shower walls were cracked. The shower door did not function and when I went to fix it, the hanging hardware fell off. New flooring throughout the house including the new addition. The new addition subfloor wasn't screwed correctly which resulted in a reinstall. In the old part of the house, the subfloor was not prepped properly causing the vinyl plank to bow and crack. Jim refused to fix. Jim's crew forgot to put a vent on roof so water came into house and collapsed the bathroom ceiling. ( He did take responsibility and fix that) overall very disappointed with someone that claims to do quality work. If I could rate lowerI would."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Forest Lake, MN

When installing a sewer line, you should consider extra costs like tree removal, driveway repairs, or patio resurfacing. Hiring a professional plumber is essential, and you may need additional specialists if landscaping or heavy excavation is involved. Addressing these potential extras up front helps ensure accurate budgeting and prevents sudden cost overruns.

To calculate the length of sewer piping you need, measure the distance from your house to the main sewer line, adding the depth of the city main to this distance. Be sure to account for any obstacles like tree roots or utility lines that may require additional piping.

City sewer lines are installed at a lower elevation to prevent unwanted backflow and water damage. This lower positioning ensures enhanced performance and long-term safety, meeting all technical and safety standards.

With trenchless methods, a plumber inserts a smaller pipe within the existing plumbing, avoiding full excavation. It can be more cost-effective and less disruptive than traditional methods, but it's not suitable for all homes.

Yes, you must secure permission from your local water authority before connecting to a public sewer line. This approval ensures your connection meets all regulatory requirements.

Sewer lines are buried between 18 inches and 8 feet deep, with most systems placed between 18 and 30 inches. In colder regions, pipes are set deeper to remain below the frost line.
