Drain Cleaning
Kitchen backing up during dinner? We've cleared thousands of drain clogs in Duluth's older cast iron and clay pipe systems.
→ If snaking doesn't hold, hydro jetting is the next step
See Pricing & Process →
Hydro Jetting & Pipe Scouring
When standard snaking isn't enough, our 4,000 PSI hydro jetters scour pipe walls clean — blasting away grease, roots, and mineral scale.
→ Always paired with a camera inspection first
See Pricing & Process →
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Soggy yard? Sinking driveway? Those are signs of a failing sewer lateral — especially in pre-1980 Duluth homes with clay pipes.
→ We can often fix it without digging
See Pricing & Process →Trenchless Sewer Pipe Lining
Why tear up your yard when we can reline the pipe from the inside? CIPP lining creates a brand-new pipe within your old one.
→ Starts with hydro jetting prep
See Pricing & Process →Sump Pump Repair & Installation

→ Running constantly? Camera-inspect the lateral first
See Pricing & Process →HD Sewer Camera Inspections
Buying a home built before 1980? Get a sewer scope first — clay pipes fail silently, and home inspectors don't check them.
→ Camera reveals if you need lining or repair
See Pricing & Process →Water Heater Repair & Replacement
No hot water on the coldest day of the year? We install and repair tank and tankless systems — same-day when possible.
→ Older boiler doing double duty? We handle that too
See Pricing & Process →Boiler Installation & Repair
Duluth's vintage radiator heating systems need plumbers who understand cast iron boilers, zone valves, and hydronic piping.
→ Also servicing indirect water heaters

We're Not a Call Center. We're the Crew That Shows Up.
I started Duluth Plumbing because I saw too many Twin Ports homeowners getting overcharged by out-of-town franchise dispatchers who didn't understand our unique plumbing challenges — the clay laterals, the bedrock, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipes every winter. We're a local crew, not a call center.

This Is What Our Work Actually Looks Like
Congdon Park — Dual-Drain Backup in a 1962 Cast Iron System
The call: A Congdon Park homeowner called us on a Saturday evening because both their kitchen sink and basement floor drain were backing up simultaneously. Two previous plumbers had snaked the kitchen line without lasting results.
What we did: We ran our HD sewer camera through the basement cleanout and found the real problem — a massive tree root ball had formed at a deteriorated cast iron joint 35 feet from the house, right under a mature maple. The kitchen-only snaking never reached it. We used a heavy-duty root-cutting auger to clear the obstruction, then hydro jetted the entire lateral to strip decades of grease coating.
The result: Full gravity flow restored within 2 hours. We recommended a follow-up camera check in 12 months and discussed CIPP lining as a permanent root barrier for the aging cast iron joint.

Plumber in Duluth, Proctor & Hermantown
We dispatch to every Duluth neighborhood, Proctor, and Hermantown. Here are the communities where we do the most work — each has unique plumbing challenges we know well.
Congdon Park
Established Congdon Park homes with mature tree canopy and original clay sewer lines from the 1950s–70s face a higher risk of root intrusion. We pair HD camera inspection with hydro jetting and CIPP trenchless lining to clear and permanently seal these lines without disturbing established landscaping.
Park Point
Park Point's narrow sand-spit setting between Lake Superior and St. Louis Bay creates a high water table and sandy, less-supportive soil. Sump pump protection and sewer camera inspection for sand infiltration and joint separation are essential on this peninsula.
Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park's historic properties feature 50–80 year old clay sewer lines and cast iron drain stacks. Our trenchless CIPP lining and hydro jetting bring this infrastructure up to modern standards while preserving the neighborhood's established character.
Proctor
Proctor homeowners and commercial properties rely on our team for prompt HD sewer camera inspections, trenchless CIPP pipe lining, and residential sewer line repair. We service Proctor hillside properties with zero-dig trenchless solutions.
Hermantown
Hermantown homes feature diverse plumbing setups, from larger residential parcels with heavy spring runoff requiring commercial-grade sump pumps and battery backups, to sewer camera scoping and trenchless replacement.
What Duluth, MN Homeowners Say
Our basement drain backed up during the January thaw and they had a truck at the house the same evening. Camera'd the line, found roots at a clay joint, and lined it a week later without touching the yard.

Water heater quit on the coldest morning of the year. They walked me through tank versus tankless honestly instead of pushing the expensive option, and had hot water back by afternoon.
Dan R.
Lakeside, Duluth · Water Heater
Two other companies snaked the same kitchen line three times. These guys hydro jetted it and ran a camera afterward to prove it was clear. No clogs since.
Megan T.
Lincoln Park, Duluth · Hydro Jetting
Park Point water table is no joke. They installed a sump pump with a battery backup and explained exactly how to test it. Rode out the spring melt with a dry basement for the first time.

What Duluth
homeowners
ask first.
Straight answers on our process, what to expect, and how we handle your plumbing issues.
Duluth's steep terrain funnels snowmelt directly toward foundations, especially in hillside neighborhoods like Piedmont Heights and Kenwood. Park Point homes face a second problem — a water table that rises with Lake Superior. A properly sized sump pump with battery backup is the single most effective defense against spring basement flooding in our area.
Clay laterals installed before 1980 are still functional in many Duluth homes, but after 50+ years of freeze-thaw cycles and root intrusion, joint separation and hairline cracking are extremely common. The only way to know for sure is a sewer camera inspection. If we find damage, CIPP trenchless lining can restore the pipe from the inside without digging up your yard.
In most cases, yes. We specialize in trenchless CIPP sewer pipe lining and pipe bursting — methods that rehabilitate or replace underground pipes through existing cleanout access points. This is especially valuable in Duluth where gabbro bedrock makes traditional excavation extremely expensive. We always camera-inspect first to confirm your pipe qualifies for a no-dig repair.
Our emergency dispatch window is 45 to 90 minutes across Duluth, Proctor, and Hermantown. Our trucks are fully stocked mobile warehouses, so we arrive ready to work — not just ready to diagnose. For burst pipes, sewer backups, and sump pump failures, call us immediately at (218) 227-4082. In the meantime, locate and shut off your main water valve.
It depends entirely on the job. A straightforward kitchen drain cleaning in Duluth typically runs $125–$275, while a full sewer line replacement ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on depth and method. We always provide an exact, written price before we start work — no hourly billing, no surprises. Check our individual service pages for detailed Duluth-area pricing tables.
