When something goes wrong with the plumbing in a Shoreview home, the first question is usually the same: who can get out here, and how fast. We handle drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater repair and replacement, sewer line service, fixture installation, repiping, and emergency calls for residential and commercial properties across the city.
Call (715) 961-4559 to get a quote and find out what the job involves before anything is scheduled.
We work with homeowners, landlords managing rental properties, and property managers overseeing multi-unit buildings throughout Shoreview and the surrounding area. When you call, the job gets scoped on the phone, not guessed at. You get a rate before anyone is dispatched, and you know what the visit covers before you commit to anything.
Getting a plumber out quickly matters, and the process is straightforward.
Call (715) 961-4559 between 9:00 AM and 8:30 PM, any day of the week.
Describe what is happening, and we scope the job on the call. The rate is settled before the visit is booked, and we confirm what the work covers before anything is scheduled.
When a problem will not keep, we treat it that way. A burst pipe, a sewer backup, a water heater that stops producing hot water, or a leak that is actively spreading are all situations where waiting until tomorrow is not the answer. We take those calls the same way we take any other, except the timeline moves faster.
If the property has tenants or a business running out of it, tell us when you call. We work around occupancy where the job allows. One call, and the visit is booked.
Shoreview is a city of established residential neighborhoods, and the homes here reflect that. A house built several decades ago is likely carrying pipe materials that are no longer installed in new construction. Galvanized steel supply lines corrode from the inside out over time, reducing pressure and eventually failing. Cast iron drain stacks develop cracks and gaps. Fittings that were standard at the time of installation no longer match anything sold at a supply house today.
Working on an older system requires knowing what you are dealing with before the repair starts. The pipe material determines the method. A fitting that looks standard from the outside may be a different diameter or thread pattern underneath. Joining new materials to old ones without accounting for that is how a repair creates a second problem.
When we scope an older-home call, we ask about the age of the system and what has been repaired before. That shapes the visit before anyone shows up. We are a straightforward choice for homeowners who want the real picture on what their plumbing actually needs, not a patch that buys a few months.
The cost of a plumbing repair depends on what the job actually turns out to be, and that is not always clear until the pipe is open or the wall is accessed. Drain cleaning, water heater replacement, and fixture installation all carry different variables depending on the age of the system, the pipe material, what is accessible, and what is found once the work is underway.
When you call, describe the situation. We ask the questions that matter, give you a rate based on what you describe, and confirm what it covers before the visit is scheduled. If the scope changes once we are on site, you hear about it before the work continues. You do not find out about a change after the invoice is written.
What moves a quote is usually one of a few things: pipe material that is harder to work with than expected, a blockage that sits further down the line than the initial call suggested, or a fitting that turns out to need replacement rather than repair. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer. Right diagnosis. Right repair. Right the first time.
A single drain that runs slowly points at a localized blockage. Grease, soap, hair, and debris collect in the line over time, and the fix is clearing the affected section. A kitchen drain that backs up on its own, or a bathroom sink that drains slowly while everything else runs fine, is almost always a fixture-level problem.
When every drain in the house backs up at the same time, that is a different situation entirely. Multiple fixtures failing together points at the main sewer line rather than any individual run. Flushing a toilet causes water to rise in the shower. Running the washing machine backs up the kitchen sink. Those patterns tell us the blockage is downstream of where the individual lines connect.
A main line backup is a situation to stop using water until the line is cleared. Running more water into a blocked main makes the problem worse.
Call (715) 961-4559 and describe what you are seeing.
We will scope it on the call and get the visit arranged quickly.
A toilet that runs continuously after flushing is usually a flapper or fill valve that is no longer sealing correctly. It sounds minor, but the water loss adds up on a bill over weeks. A toilet that leaks at the base is a different problem, typically a wax ring that has failed, and that one needs attention before water works into the subfloor. We repair and replace both, and handle full toilet replacement when the fixture itself is the issue.
A gas line call comes in when a new appliance needs a supply run, when an existing line needs to be extended or reconfigured, or when there is a suspected leak in the supply side. Gas line work on the plumbing side covers the pipe that delivers gas to the appliance, not the appliance itself. If you smell gas, leave the building and call the utility first, then call us once the immediate hazard is addressed.
A water heater that stops producing hot water, runs out faster than it used to, makes noise during the heating cycle, or shows signs of corrosion around the tank connections is worth a call before it fails entirely. We work on both tank and tankless units. A repair visit starts with diagnosing the actual fault, and we give you honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell toward a replacement that is not needed. When a unit is at the end of its useful life, we walk through the replacement options and what each one involves before any work is scheduled.
Repiping is the right call when the supply system as a whole is failing rather than one section of it. Recurring leaks in different locations, pressure that has dropped throughout the house, and rust-colored water at multiple faucets are all signs that the pipe material itself is the problem. A full repipe replaces the supply lines throughout the property in copper or PEX, restoring reliable pressure and flow. The scope of a repiping job depends on the size of the property and how the existing system is routed. We scope it on the call and walk through what the work involves before anything is scheduled.
Knowing where your main water shutoff is before a problem happens is one of the more useful things a homeowner can do. In most Shoreview homes with basements, the main shutoff is on the supply line where it enters the house, typically near the water meter. Closing it stops flow to the entire property.
For a problem at a single fixture, the shutoff is usually closer. Toilets have a valve at the base of the supply line, behind and below the tank. Sinks have valves under the cabinet. Turning those off isolates the fixture without affecting the rest of the house.
If water is actively spreading and you cannot find the fixture shutoff, go straight to the main. Stopping the water is the priority. Call us once that is done and describe what happened. We will take it from there.
We serve Shoreview and the surrounding communities throughout the area. That includes Arden Hills, North Oaks, New Brighton, Mounds View, and Vadnais Heights, as well as other addresses across Ramsey County. Residential homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings are all within scope. If the scope is still open, the page that lists our plumbing services is the place to start.
If you are not sure whether your address falls within our range, call (715) 961-4559 and we will confirm before you commit to anything. Coverage is not something you should have to guess at.
Yes. We cover properties in unincorporated areas the same as those within town limits. Underground line work on rural or unincorporated properties sometimes involves longer runs or different access conditions, which we account for when scoping the job on the call.
We let you know before the visit ends what is left, what the next step involves, and what it will take to complete the work. A second visit is scheduled with the same scope already understood, so there is no re-explaining the situation from the start. Any additional cost is discussed before the second visit is confirmed.
Homes that have been around for several decades tend to have galvanized steel supply lines that have corroded over time, which shows up as reduced water pressure, rust-colored water, or recurring leaks in the same section of pipe. Older drain systems may use cast iron or clay-lined pipe that has cracked or shifted. When repairs start repeating in the same location, that is usually a sign the pipe material itself needs to be addressed rather than patched again.
The process is the same whether the property is occupied or not. When you call, let us know the situation, including whether a tenant needs to be coordinated with for access or timing. We scope the job on the phone before the visit, confirm the rate, and work around the occupancy where the job allows. The goal is to get the repair done without turning it into a disruption for whoever is living there.
When the meter is moving and every fixture in the property is off, there is almost certainly a leak somewhere in the supply system. That includes supply lines inside the walls, under the floor, or running underground between the meter and the house. Call us and describe what you are seeing, and we will walk you through the next step.
Plumbing repair costs, response times, and what a specific job actually involves are not questions the internet answers reliably. The only way to get an accurate picture is to describe the situation to someone who knows the work.
Call Hudson Plumbing Company at (715) 961-4559 between 9:00 AM and 8:30 PM, any day of the week.
Describe what is happening, get a rate on the call, and know what the visit covers before anyone is dispatched. Arrives fast. Fixes it right. Prices settled on the call.

Every plumbing job we handle in Shoreview starts the same way: a real conversation about what is happening, what it will take to fix it, and what it will cost before we schedule anything. The table below covers the services we offer, who each one fits, and a practical note to help you decide what call to make. If a situation is not covered here, call us and we will walk through it on the phone.
| Service | Scope of Work | Best For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| A toilet that runs constantly, leaks at the base, flushes weakly, or needs full replacement | A running toilet wastes a significant amount of water over time. Most toilet repairs are straightforward and can be completed in a single visit. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Homes with basements in areas prone to spring snowmelt and groundwater intrusion | Spring snowmelt in Ramsey County moves a lot of water in a short window. Getting a sump pump inspected or replaced before the melt season is one of the more practical calls a homeowner can make. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| No hot water, insufficient hot water, unusual noise, or a unit that is visibly leaking | We diagnose the unit first and tell you whether a repair or replacement makes more sense before any work is scheduled. Honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell. |
Call (715) 961-4559 between 9:00 AM and 8:30 PM any day of the week and describe what you are dealing with. We will scope it on the call and give you a rate before anything is scheduled.
