How it works
What every repair visit includes
Diagnose the cause, not the symptom
A stain on the ceiling is rarely the whole story. We trace the problem to its source before anyone talks price — so you pay to fix it once, not twice.
A written price you approve
One flat-rate number for the fix, in writing, before work starts. No hourly meter running while someone hunts for parts.
Fixed with parts that last
Quality cartridges, quarter-turn valves, proper fittings — the repair is done to code and built to outlive the fixture, not just outlast the truck ride home.
Tested under pressure
We run everything, check every joint we touched, and confirm the meter sits still when the water's off — before we call it fixed.
A clean handoff
Floor mats down, mess gone, and a plain-English walkthrough of what we found, what we did, and anything worth keeping an eye on.
And if something's not right after we leave? We come back and make it right — no charge, no argument. That's the Loon Promise.
Warning signs
Small problems, telling on themselves
A water stain on the ceiling or a wall
Water travels along joists and drywall before it shows itself, so the stain is rarely under the leak. We trace it to the actual source before anyone cuts anything — a small stain often means a leak that's been running quietly for weeks.
A toilet that runs, rocks, or flushes on its own
A running toilet is usually a worn flapper or fill valve — a quick, inexpensive fix that can be wasting hundreds of gallons a day in the meantime. A toilet that rocks is more urgent: the wax seal under it may be broken, and every flush can be seeping into the floor.
A faucet that drips no matter how hard you crank it
That's a worn cartridge or seat, and cranking the handle harder only chews it up faster. One drip per second is roughly 3,000 gallons a year — the repair usually pays for itself on the water bill alone.
Shutoff valves you're afraid to touch
Old multi-turn valves seize open over the years, and the worst time to discover yours don't work is with water spraying across the kitchen. We replace them with quarter-turn ball valves that shut off instantly — one of the cheapest pieces of insurance in the house.
Water pressure that dropped and stayed low
If it's one fixture, it's usually a clogged aerator or a failing cartridge. If it's the whole house, it could be the pressure-reducing valve — or, in many pre-1960s Minneapolis and St. Paul homes, old galvanized pipe slowly rusting shut from the inside. We'll tell you which before anyone talks about repiping.
A water bill that jumped for no reason
Something is running that shouldn't be — most often a toilet flapper, sometimes a softener stuck in regeneration, occasionally a hidden leak. A simple meter test tells us if water is moving when everything's off, and then we chase it down.

Upfront pricing
You'll know the exact price before we start
"What does a plumber charge?" is a fair question that rarely gets a fair answer. Here's ours: we don't bill by the hour and hope. We diagnose the problem, then hand you one flat-rate price for the fix — parts, labor, and any permit included. You approve it before a wrench turns, and the invoice matches it. Always.

Good to know
Repair questions, answered straight
Do you charge just to come out and look?
No — estimates are free. We look at the problem, tell you what's actually wrong, and hand you a flat-rate price for the fix. You decide from there. The price you approve is the price on the invoice, every time.
Is any job too small?
No, and we mean that. A running toilet or a seized shutoff valve is exactly the kind of call we want — small problems fixed properly are how you avoid the big ones. You'll never get a sigh on the phone because the job isn't a remodel.
A pipe just burst — what do I do right now?
Shut off the main water valve — in most metro homes it's in the basement near the front foundation wall, close to the water meter. Then open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure down, and call us. We offer same-day and emergency service for exactly this.
My house still has galvanized pipes. Do I have to repipe?
Not necessarily, and we won't open with that. Plenty of pre-1960s homes are still running fine on galvanized. But if you've got rusty water after vacations, pressure fading year over year, or repeated pinhole leaks, the pipe is telling you where things are headed — and we'd rather show you the evidence and let you plan it than sell you a repipe on day one.
Do you pull permits when the work needs one?
Yes. Most straight repairs don't need one, but when the work does — replacing sections of supply line, moving plumbing — we handle the permit and the inspection under our MN Master Plumber license, and it's included in the price you approve.
How fast can you get here?
Most repairs are handled same-day, and we offer emergency service for the can't-wait situations — burst pipes, water you can't shut off, no water at all. Call and we'll give you a straight answer on timing, not a four-hour window that becomes eight.
