About Clean Drainz by Bob and Son

Clean Drainz by Bob and Son operates out of Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving homeowners and property owners across the east metro area. With a 3.9-star rating from early reviewers, this family-run operation brings a personal touch that larger companies often can't match. Saint Paul's older housing stock means many properties have aging septic and plumbing systems that need regular attention. Bob and Son's combined septic and plumbing expertise means you're not calling two separate contractors when problems overlap.

Services & Process

Clean Drainz handles both septic services and general plumbing, which is a practical combination for homeowners dealing with slow drains, backups, or system failures. Septic work typically includes tank pumping, inspections, and diagnosing drain field issues before they become costly repairs. On the plumbing side, they can address the interior pipe connections that feed into your septic system. Having one contractor who understands both sides of the system often leads to faster, more accurate diagnosis of where a problem actually starts.

Service Area

Clean Drainz by Bob and Son is based in Saint Paul and serves the surrounding east metro communities. Customers in Maplewood, North Saint Paul, and neighboring Ramsey County areas are within their typical service range. If you're unsure whether they cover your address, a quick call to (651) 307-6872 will get you a straight answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my septic tank pumped in Saint Paul?
Most households need pumping every three to five years, depending on tank size and the number of people in the home. A family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank typically lands closer to the three-year mark.
Can Clean Drainz handle both my plumbing backup and my septic issue in the same visit?
Yes, that's one advantage of working with a contractor who offers both services. They can assess whether a slow drain is a plumbing blockage or a sign that your septic tank needs attention, without requiring a second appointment.
What are the signs that my septic tank needs pumping?
Common signs include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds in your pipes, sewage odors near the drain field, or unusually green and spongy grass over the tank area. If you notice any of these, it's worth scheduling an inspection soon.
Do I need a septic inspection when buying or selling a home in Saint Paul?
Minnesota requires a septic system inspection as part of most real estate transactions if the property uses a private septic system. It's a good idea to schedule this early in the process so there's time to address any issues before closing.
What happens if my drain field is failing?
A failing drain field usually shows up as soggy ground, standing water, or odors near the leach area. Repair options range from resting the field to installing a new one, and the right choice depends on how far the damage has progressed.
Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners if I have a septic system?
Most chemical drain cleaners are hard on the beneficial bacteria inside your septic tank, which your system needs to break down waste properly. Mechanical clearing or enzyme-based products are safer choices for septic-connected drains.
