Company History

The business began in 2009 when the Tapia brothers left a large national firm to start a local drain cleaning company focused on fair pricing and honest work. Over the years the business has kept those values while adding modern tools like hydro-jetters and sewer cameras. The core idea remains practical: fix the problem, explain the work, and leave the jobsite clean.

Leadership

Pedro Tapia took full ownership in 2012 and has guided the company since. He prefers being on the job, meeting customers, and mentoring technicians. Pedro lives locally with his wife and two daughters. He follows local youth soccer, cheers for Ecuador, and spends free time fishing and on the golf course when the Minnesota weather allows.
