"It went wonderfully. We have been using St. Paul Pipeworks for many years and will continue to do so. They're prompt, professional, clean and courteous. Paul explained the options for repair to help us make the best decision for the drain connection, then did a great job fixing it quickly and well."

"I contacted five plumbers asking for the estimated cost of replacing two bathroom faucets. Most companies responded by asking me to call them or by charging a fee to provide an estimate in person. Both practices gave the impression the companies were more interested in a sales pitch than quoting a fare market value for the project. BouVaag was the only plumbing company to respond to the initial inquiry with a cost estimate. Their plumber arrived during the scheduled time window, completed the project in a timely manner, and charged within the quoted estimate. An electronic invoice was sent a week later. Prepare to pay with a check as the company charges a fee for processing debit/card payments."

"We bought this property last year and this was our first inspection-David Kottke did a great job explaining to us everything we have going on. We inquired about a battery back up on our sump pump and he was able to install it on the spot! Great work!"

"So happy we reached out to Jon with American Eagle Plumbing. We had a leak in our bathroom in the midst of all this coronavirus madness. To help customers through this tough time, they waived the fee to come out and visit and see what the problem was. They were so communicative and sent out a photo of who was going to be coming and who to look out for. They do background checks on all of their employees and as a mother and teacher, that’s a HUGE plus in my book. Jon came in with shoe guards, gloves, and antibacterial wipes. He was respectful in keeping his distance and during these uncertain times, that was greatly appreciated. The problems were fixed and he even gave us some preventive tips to consider for the future as we have a 25+ year old home. I highly recommend American Eagle Plumbing. They check in and genuinely care."

"It went well. I could have had less work done and saved money but I wanted the kitchen drain system updated so it would drain properly. This should avoid future problems. I called the plumber and was not interested in differing estimates. Randy's was prompt and explained the need to update the drain system to avoid future problems and I agreed. If and when we update plumbing in other parts of the house I  would consider this company for the work."

"I purchased my townhouse from an owner who liked to do his own repairs and installs. My kitchen sink must have been a favorite project. In a series of repairs, the drain connection from the dishwasher was moved from the plumbing to the disposal - but the connection was never capped. Imagine the waterworks when part of the drain gets clogged, and the only way out is through the uncapped drain. It was a disturbing sewage-spouting show spraying under my sink. Once I realized the source of the unwanted aquatic display, Twin Cities Pipeworks came to my rescue. Dave repaired all of the “ Mr. Fix-it” specials and left me with the most beautiful plumbing setup. No more sewage surprises ! One of the best relationships you can have is with a good plumber. I am so lucky to have found mine. Thanks, Dave!"

"I brought in several of the highest rated plumbers on Angie's list for bids so I knew they would all do quality work.   I then went with the lowest bid, which was Burkhardt by a landslide.  The bid I received from them was less than half of what the other top rated plumbers bid. 
They only have a few employees and they had one guy do all of the construction work at my house.  My project took 4 days which included breaking up the floor, running drain and vent pipe, running water pipe, and recementing the floor.
I was very impressed with the work.  When he came to the house I went over how I wanted everything done and he did everything exactly how I explained it.  I also made some additions to the scope of the project after he started and he took care of them with a "can do" attitude.  I needed him to reroute some existing water pipe and to install a shut off valve.  He also left my basement spotless when he was done with no reminents of all the cement and sand that was on the basement floor during construction.  I would hire Burkhardt Plumbing again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone that is looking for quality plumbing work done at a fair price.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Vermillion, MN

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
