Defend Sewer Repair | Trusted Plumbing Service in Minneapolis, MN

Our primary method uses a trenchless technology called cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP). We insert a flexible, resin-saturated fiberglass liner into your existing damaged pipe and cure it in place with UV light, creating a new, durable pipe inside the old one. For Minneapolis properties, this means we typically only need one or two small access points, avoiding the need for a large, yard-disrupting trench. It's a faster process that preserves your landscaping, driveway, and hardscapes, which is especially valuable during our shorter construction seasons.

Absolutely. Frozen outdoor faucets are a common Minneapolis winter issue and can be a warning sign of other vulnerabilities. While sewer lines are buried deeper and less prone to freezing, the associated drain vents on your roof can freeze, blocking proper airflow and causing slow drains or gurgling sounds. We can perform a thorough plumbing inspection to assess your entire system. We'll check for any cracks or damage from freeze-thaw cycles, ensure your drain vents are clear, and recommend preventative measures to protect your pipes year-round.

While our UV-cured liner is an excellent solution for many cracks, breaks, and root intrusions, a traditional dig repair is sometimes the most effective option. This is typically needed when a sewer pipe has completely collapsed, is severely misaligned, or has multiple major failures in a short span. We always provide a detailed camera inspection first to assess the damage. If excavation is the best long-term solution for your Minneapolis home or business, we handle the entire process, from necessary permits to careful restoration of your property afterward.
