Our own long-time friendship began in school and evolved as we both worked to become plumbers. It was upon this base of building relationships that we launched One Hour Rooter Plumbers in 2012. After just two years in business, we had firmly established ourselves as drain cleaning and inspection specialists in the Twin Cities metro area.
At One Hour Rooter, our highly-trained, professional team of licensed, insured and bonded plumbers have the experience and know-how to fix just about any plumbing problem you may have. But if you don't need us immediately, you can schedule a service date and window of time (for example, between 12 pm-2 pm) that works best for you.
Homeowners just like you count on One Hour Rooter Plumbers to clear, clean, and unclog their drains at a price they can afford. Best of all, we can typically get the work done in just one hour. DIY drain cleaning processes found on the internet can actually damage your pipes, making drain repairs or even replacement the only costly solution.
When you have a clogged drain and you are calling or clicking around online you may not notice the difference between drain cleaning and drain clearing services that are being advertised. What you may notice is that plumbing companies tend to highlight big discounts and lower pricing in their ads. There is a reason why.

Sean did a great job explaining my options to my particular plumbing issues. When the team came to fix my pipes they were efficient and professional. I would definitely recommend working with One Hour Rooter for all future plumbing needs.

We've worked with One Hour Rooter for multiple services the past few years including sewer line repair and hydro jetting of our pipes. Recently, Devin came over to support with big clog in our Kitchen drain. He was professional and did a great quality job. Would definitely recommend for good service and warranty.

Quite literally got taken to the cleaners.
Charged us $524 for a twenty minute, hydro jet clean because it was the Friday after Thanksgiving . Talk about getting price gouged because we need to get the help.
Called other services the next day, Saturday, and got quoted less than half that rate.
Surge pricing at it's best. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Devin was highly professional and knowledgeable. He took time to explain the service and was wonderful to work with. Clearly explained the differences between snaking vs hydro-jetting. The clogged sink is working again perfectly.

I shared my concerns regarding a clogged drain for our dishwasher. When I spoke with Adam, he had me test something over the phone and quickly diagnosed it was not a clogged drain, but rather my dishwasher. He didn't charge me a penny to troubleshoot/test the items with me over the phone. I'm extremely impressed with the response time, honesty and integrity of this company. I would definitely call them again.

Our sewer was backing up into our basement via the floor drain. I called MSP Plumbing, Heating, Air, whom I have used before for other issues. They referred me to One Hour Rooter.
I scheduled One Hour Rooter to come out and quote a price for repairs. They scheduled me within a day and arrived on time. The general manager, Ray, made very quick assessment of my basement and came with two quotes. First, for $1824 they would hydro jet my main line and floor drain and warranty the work for 2 years. Second, for approximately $7000 they would clean and install a liner in my main line.

They were supposed to help us replace a water heater. Gave us the runaround for a week and a half. Then showed up without ever showing me an estimate and demanded half the money down. After I called to talk to the management about this and get an estimate for exactly what it would cost they simply packed up and left. There was no customer service available and there was a lot of attitude and no one was able to give a good answer to any of my questions

SCAMMER ALERT!!! DO NOT CALL.
So many bad things to say, its hard to know where to begin. Like many other reviewers, Ray came to look at a slow drain after I called, based on a 'free service call' coupon in Valu Mailer.
He had a tiny little camera and snaked it thru my drain and pipes, showing me all the cracks and 'bad joins' . Told me that my pipe to the street was ready to collapse and that I needed a hydro flush, a new drain, new connection pipe in basement and a 'liner' and ran my credit card to 'hold a spot'. The next day I received a quote

I would give zero if possible - first individual came out and told us it would 79 for service call and "nineteen fifty" to unfreeze our pipes. Now I know full well that $19.50 wasn't likely to be the cost - but he PURPOSELY used the phrase "nineteen fifty" instead of opting to say 1 thousand nine hundred and fifty. Of course, the quote guy has to leave and allow his crew to do the work after he gets the go ahead for it. He also requires a check or charge card prior to leaving. Got a buzz from our credit card company when the charge came in at $1,950. After the work was

I recently had a plugged main drain and the technician who came out said that a power drain snake wouldn't work to get through the toilet paper that is blocking the main line. He Offerred to have it water jetted for $1500 then when I balked at that he said they might be able to match a competitor that does it for $1200. Then he said he could try a smaller water jet that is more appropriate for kitchen drains but there was a 50/50 shot it would work at a cost of $650. I paid the trip charge and decided to call a friend who used to be a master plumber before doing anything because something

Bad service. They came out, cleared the clog and the water drained. The plumber broke my cleanout plug and did not replace but told me where to get one. The plumber left my house with raw, harmful sewer gasses dumping into my house. I had to go to the store and find a cap myself. 1 week later our drains backed up again. I asked if they could come back out and fix the issue, which apparently was not resolved in the first place. They wanted to charge me again to come out and do more cleaning. I argued with management on the phone and they had no interest in making the situation right.

Website says they'll clean a drain for $99... guy comes out and says it's $150 just for him stopping by to tell us we need to pay $1500 to have the pipe high pressured jetted because of tree roots. Last time it cost us $79 to have our drain snaked by another company and it has been fine for 2 years. He didn't fix anything and he wants us to pay $150. No thanks.

I cannot say this enough - STAY AWAY from One Hour Rooter.
My main line backed up into my basement at the end of May. I contacted One Hour Rooter and they said they would have a plumber out between 4 PM and 6 PM to deal with it. The plumber did not arrive at my house until 8:30, and my girlfriend - who left work early to accommodate - had to call him twice for an update on arrival time.
The plumber was nice enough, but he said that we needed to hydrojet our main line, run a camera and do a gel treatment for our main line backup. The cost of the treatment, not including the trip for the estimate

Scam artists!!
Before he even saw the drain he started selling me a camera trip down the main line. I said let's at least see it. He pulled the cover off and said "this is really bad we're going to have to jet this drain. For 1350. I ca." I said let's at least try and see if the snake goes in the drain. He ran it for less than a minute and proclaimed " Oh there's no way, gotta jet it" he pushed and pushed up sales, biocleaner for 500, jet cleaning ......
Long and the short of it he wouldn't snake the drain said there was no warranty and

We called these guys for a frozen drain pipe as they had advertised a low 100 cleaning charge + trip charge. The plumber came over within 2 hours so that was nice. The trip charge ended up being 40 and then we were told that we needed to up get a 420 dollar heated pressure water service to unclog the drain.
Off course we were upset since we told them the issue specifically over the phone. It was not the plumbers fault but we should be told up front about these things.
It was cheaper to not have their $420 service and call RotoRooter who are not inexpensive in the first place.
What a waste

The first time they came out 3 years ago, they did an excellent job. They tarped my entire basement, cleaned up after themselves, and very friendly and respectful.
I called them again since they did a great job the last time. Justin was willing to work a deal with me which was great! When Ray arrived, he walked into my house with his shoes on. He went on and on about how I should get my sewer line jetted, telling me that it would cost $1500. I told him that I just wanted my sewer line cleared out. He got his things set up and I asked him if was going to tarp the area. I had to remind him
