Warning Signs You Need a Plumber
We stress the need for regular upkeep of your plumbing system as this will discover many problems early, cutting repair bills. Routine maintenance keeps your water and electricity bills at lower levels because regular plumbing reviews improve efficiency and lessens water and electricity wastage.
We offer a subscription service that includes an annual plumbing safety inspection.

However, even with regular maintenance, problems can still occur.
If you notice any of the following warning signs affecting your plumbing, do not delay and call us immediately!
- Small Puddles of Water Around the Washing Machine and Dishwasher: If your floor looks like it would support a family of ducks, then you should turn off your water supply. Typically, you will find the master shut off in your basement. If there is a slow leak in the water intake or outtake lines it will require an expert to fix. You will want to get the water lines checked and fixed immediately to avoid flooding.
- Strange Smells: If your home smells like rotting food or has a horrible raw sewage smell, it could signpost a few different plumbing problems. A blockage is the most common reason, but poorly ventilated drain pipes or damage from heavy rains and storms can also cause your plumbing system to become blocked.
- Damaged Walls or Wallpaper: If your wallpaper is peeling away from the wall or the wall is damp to the touch, make an appointment right away. There is likely a leak nearby in a wall, ceiling, or floor.
- Toilets That Run Regularly: If you notice your toilet tank is refilling with water every hour or so, there could be a leak from the tank into the bowl or even directly from the tank out onto the floor in the bathroom.
- Rusty Water: If you see rusty water around your water heater, it is likely deteriorating. Other warning signs include water that never gets hot enough. You will need a reliable plumbing repair service to fix the problem.

Sewer Repair Services
Few things smell as bad as a sewer leak. Paul Bunyan Plumbing & Drains specialize in sewer line repairs, sewer pipe relining, and trenchless sewer repair. Your pipes could be leaking from corrosion, rust, or blockages.
Corrosion is common in houses more than 50 years old. Blockages are likely to be caused by tree roots, grease, dirt, and anything that shouldn’t have been flushed down the drain. A leak could cause structural damage to your home if it is near the foundation.
Frozen Pipe Repair
As we all know Minneapolis, MN has bitterly cold winters! Combine the polar winters with poor insulation and it will likely lead to frozen or burst pipes. If you suspect your pipes are frozen then you should turn off your water supply and call one of our experienced plumbers.
Toilet Repair Services
Toilet overflows are a common event in any home, especially if you have children. Many toys have blocked a toilet and sewage starts to overflow. Other reasons for overflows can include worn-out flapper seals or flush valves, and rusted toilet handles. Blockages in the drain or sewer pipe can also cause toilet overflows.
Unfortunately, toilet overflows can raise health risks due to the sewage and bacteria stagnant in the toilet. Whatever the reason, please call our friendly team at Paul Bunyan, who will arrange a prompt visit from one of our efficient plumbers.
Leak Repairs
Small leaks can be hard to detect, but tell-tale signs can be unexpectedly high-water bills, unusually wet and damp areas, and mold or mildew growth. You may even notice a musty smell in the air. What you need is a professional plumbing repair service when water leaks start small and go unnoticed for a long time causing expensive problems throughout your home like damage to the walls, woodwork, and to the foundation.
Faucet Repair
Is your leaking faucet driving you crazy and keeping you up at night? Well, did you know that a slow leak wastes up to 20 gallons of water a day! What you need is a dependable plumbing repair service. With one phone call to Paul Bunyan, you will have access to an experienced team of highly qualified plumbers who can fit the leaking faucet. Fixing your faucet will cut your water bills and may stop any additional harm to your home.
I & I Repair
I & I stand for ‘Inflow and Infiltration.’ This describes how clear rain and groundwater finds its way into the local wastewater system. The wastewater sewers that run below ground divert wastewater out of and away from homes carrying it to local sewage treatment facilities.
Any clear water from storms should flow into the storm sewer, if not then the clear water will flow into the wastewater sewer and the treatment facilities to overload. Filling up the main sewers sewage water to back up into residents’ homes. Each year, I & I problems cause between $300 million to $400 million in repair costs for sewer backups, and the damage and excessive use of wastewater treatment facilities.
Water Heater Installation and Repair
You need a shower in the morning and when there is either no hot water or it takes an eternity to heat up can throw a serious wrench into your daily routines. Call us! There could be many reasons for the plumbing problem.
Perhaps, it is a loose wire, a heating element failure, or even sediment build-up causing your water heater to malfunction? Our certified plumbers will inspect your system to find the cause and quickly fix it. The issue is often that the water heater is too small for your family and that you need a bigger tank. We can recommend the right tank size for your family that’s energy efficient too which can reduce water bills.
Drain Cleaning Services
If your bathroom or kitchen drains are not clearing fast enough, then you may have a partial blockage in the pipes. The build-up of fat, oil, grease, and other debris (even oatmeal and flour) can block pipes and drains.
If the pipes are not aligned to the correct gradient the water cannot drain away quickly enough which causes a blockage. Even, undersized sewer pipes can be the cause of a blockage and toilet overflows.
Our professional drain cleaning service will resolve these problems straight away. We examine pipes with cutting-edge, technological equipment to view what is causing the blockage and then strategically cut through the blockage and remove all the debris.
