“We called Denis when our 20 year-old water heater finally bit the dust. Denis was out within a couple of hours to give us a quote, and was able to replace the entire unit and bring our plumbing up to code the same day.”

QDo I need a septic inspection to sell a house in Ramsey?

Source: City of Ramsey, Septic Systems
QWhy did my toilet gurgle when the city cleaned the sewer?
Ramsey jets its sewer mains on a three-year cycle, and the city notes that can make toilets flush or gurgle. If gurgling continues after the crew is gone, the cause is in your own drain or vent.
