What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in Minneapolis?

Due to freezing winters, Minneapolis sees a lot of burst pipes from the start of winter right on through the beginning of spring. Pipes that aren’t properly insulated or properly installed can become frozen in the blink of an eye. When these pipes eventually thaw out, those that are burst will let you know in dramatic fashion. The thing about any burst pipe is getting to where it is inside or leading up to your Minneapolis home. These burst pipes will never happen at an opportune time, usually occurring in the middle of the night when the temperature dips. The demolition and reconstruction part of a burst pipe is not cheap, either.

Burst pipes aren’t the sole common plumbing issue in the greater Minneapolis area. Minneapolis sees its fair share of common plumbing issues such as:

  • Clogs in kitchen/bath/shower drains
  • Slow running drains
  • Constantly running toilets
  • Clogs in toilets
  • Leaking or dripping faucets
  • Water heater leaking
  • Aging cast-iron piping
  • Issues with water pressure

No matter what type of plumbing problem you may have, it is always a good idea to have a professional plumber on standby, just in case. Let Mr. Blue Plumbing be that standby plumber in the greater Minneapolis area.

How Does the Water in Minneapolis Affect Your Plumbing?

People across the globe are becoming more concerned about two things: the air they breathe and the water they drink. Indoor air quality suddenly became a huge business model for this past year and so has whole house water filtration systems. While that is all good, there are going to be finite amounts of certain chemicals and additives in your water supply that will escape the filter and proceed right to your glass. Things like fluoride and certain pesticides are added to your Minneapolis drinking water and are designed to protect you (and your teeth). Then there are actual particles of minerals that can (given enough time) deteriorate your water pipes. Whether your water pipes are the older cast iron type or even the modern more efficient PVC type, these particles will attack any weak spots in your water piping system and eventually cause them to rupture. 

These tiny particles that cause these situations are not put there to harm anyone. They are put there as part of the water treatment process and meant to help control certain issues with the water supply. You will find that the City of Minneapolis’ water supply ranks higher on the Nation’s Best Drinking Water scale, and the amounts of these chemicals detected are minimal at best. They will, however, destroy pipes if given enough time to do so.

Additives to a water supply will also cause things like toilet fill valves and faucet seats to wear out prematurely. The tiny o-rings and seals in these devices just can’t hold up to the constant barrage of these particulates, so they will fail and fail often.

So, yes, the water in Minneapolis does indeed affect your plumbing.

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Minneapolis?

The only thing more aggravating than a plumbing problem is paying for a plumbing problem. Plumbing issues are anything but cheap. Let’s take a look at some average costs associated with plumbing repairs in the area. These will be listed as the average low, high, and overall price paid for a plumbing repair here in Minneapolis, Minnesota:

  • Average low cost for a plumbing repair in Minneapolis, MN – $107
  • Average high cost for a plumbing repair in Minneapolis, MN – $774
  • Average overall price paid for a plumbing repair in Minneapolis, MN – $440

These figures are strictly for reference only and are not intended to be any type of quote for plumbing repair service. These figures do include the following items as part of your plumbing repair costs:

  • Average labor costs
  • Costs for material and equipment
  • Project costs (site prep, components-machinery, clean-up fees)

These things can affect your final cost dramatically. Those figures do not include associated costs for any of the following:

  • Permits from the City of Minneapolis
  • Inspection fees
  • Materials state sales taxes
  • Materials local sales taxes

Now, let’s look at some contributing factors that will cause your final cost to be even bigger.

Cost Factor: Where Is the Plumbing Problem Located?

You are obviously going to pay more for a plumbing problem that is either under your concrete driveway or in one of the walls of your Minneapolis home. How hard it is to access the problem will have a big impact on your final cost.

Cost Factor: What type of Plumbing Problem Do You Have?

If you have a leaky faucet that needs to be repaired, don’t expect to be charged the same amount for labor as the one above that was under a Minneapolis concrete driveway. Again, the more involved your plumbing problem is, the more you are going to pay.

Cost Factor: Will There Be Any Demolition or Rebuilding Charges?

The more involved your plumbing repair project is, the more it will cost. This holds particularly true if there has to be anything torn apart to get to the problem, then built back after the problem is fixed.

When you have a plumbing problem that is going to require the services of our professional plumber, one thing you need to keep in mind is the fact that our plumber spent a great deal of money in getting the required training to become a professional plumber and accrue such specific experience. Then there’s the fact that they have to continually keep going to school to stay on top of the latest trends, plumbing codes, and latest technology so that your Minneapolis plumbing repair gets done the right way the first time.

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in Minneapolis?

If you are constantly having your plumber come out to repair leaks in your home’s water supply lines, there will come a time when it is going to be beneficial from a standpoint of money to have all the piping in your home replaced. Obviously, that is an extreme example, but that is one of the cases where having our specialists install new plumbing will save you money in the long run.

If you are looking for a way to cut your water bill down to a manageable size, then you may want to consider having our plumbers come out and install new fixtures throughout the home. Plumbing fixtures are things like faucets and toilets. The newer fixtures on the market today that are identified as WaterSense fixtures by the logo on the packaging have the ability to use 20% less water, therefore, cutting your water consumption dramatically and saving you money on your water bill. Yes, better plumbing (as well as better plumbing fixtures) will save you money in the long run.

When Should You Call the Water Utility Company in Minneapolis Vs Hire a Plumber?

In some cases, if your plumbing repair projects need the intervention of the City of Minneapolis for whatever reason, our plumbers have a good working relationship with the city and your repair project would go off without a hiccup of any kind. That being said, there may be certain things on a larger scale that would require you to contact The City of Minneapolis yourself. Instances that might involve anything related to paying your bill would fall on you, but you would also need to contact the city for any permits or inspections that your plumbing repair may need. If your project is on an older home, but it involves repiping or other extensive plumbing measures, our master plumbers may include the fees for permits and inspections in the quote to you before the work begins.

Always ask questions when you are concerned at any point during the repair project to your Minneapolis plumbing system. Our experts are always here to answer your questions and get your repair done properly the first time around!

When Do You Need Permits For Plumbing Service in Minneapolis?

We just touched on that in the section above, but also know this: several factors determine how extensive your plumbing repair is going to be, and permits are one of them. The City of Minneapolis has a good webpage on what classifies as needing a plumbing permit as well as the application to get the permit process going. Alternatively, contact our team for help!

For example, you would not need a permit for a leaky faucet, but repiping your whole house brings on a totally different set of circumstances in the City of Minneapolis.
