A kitchen sink that won't drain or a basement floor drain backing up rarely waits for a convenient week. The drain cleaning services in Minneapolis on this page hold more than 8,100 Google reviews between them, with ratings from 4.8 to 5, and what separates them is how they work, from a national plumbing brand to local sewer and drain specialists and a general plumber that lists drain work.

How the scores are built

Rating is each company’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, compared across the Minneapolis pool. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from thousands of customers carries real weight next to a 5.0 from hundreds. Recency reflects how recently customers have still been leaving reviews.

What a drain cleaning costs in Minneapolis

No prices are published here. What you pay depends on which drain is blocked (a sink, a floor drain or the main line), whether the work is snaking or hydro jetting, whether a camera inspection is added, and what time of day you call. Ask for the price before the technician starts, and ask whether the visit fee is credited toward the work.

Who covers Minneapolis calls

Roto-Rooter has a Hennepin Ave location in Minneapolis. Guy’s and Bedrock are based in St. Louis Park and Gopher in Fridley, and Gopher’s site says it serves Minneapolis and the surrounding metro area. Searching for drain cleaning near me? Each listing shows a phone number and map link so you can find the closest option.

Questions to ask before you book a drain cleaning

  • Do you charge a visit fee, and is it credited toward the work?
  • Will you snake the line or use hydro jetting, and why?
  • Can you run a camera through the line, and is that included?
  • What is the price before you start, and what could change it?
  • Is the line guaranteed against another backup, and for how long?

Frequently asked questions

Which Minneapolis drain cleaning companies list 24-hour service?

Google lists Roto-Rooter, Guy’s Sewer & Drain, Gopher Sewer and Drain and Bedrock Plumbing & Drain Cleaning as open 24 hours. Roto-Rooter’s and Gopher’s sites also describe 24/7 service, and Bedrock’s site lists 24/7 emergency service.

Do drain cleaners also run a camera through the line?

Some do. A Gopher reviewer had a camera inspection after a cleaning and its site has promoted a free one with main line or floor drain cleaning. A Bedrock reviewer was shown camera video of the sewer main. Ask whether it is included before you book.

Should I call a drain specialist or a general plumber?

For a clogged sink, tub or floor drain, the specialists here have reviews describing exactly that work. If the clog may lead to other plumbing jobs, Roto-Rooter and Bedrock list water heaters too, and Bedrock lists fixture upgrades, and Gopher’s reviewers also mention a broken copper pipe and rerouting plumbing for a new bathtub.

Is it worth cleaning the main line before it backs up?

One Gopher reviewer had the main line cleaned for preventive maintenance, and a Guy’s reviewer says a free main line exam was offered during a visit. A camera look can show what is building up before a backup, so ask about it when you book.

Where to start

Roto-Rooter has the largest review base, Guy’s holds the top rating, and Gopher is the pick if main line cleaning with a camera check is what you need. Bedrock fits when drain work may turn into general plumbing. Get the price before work begins.
