Editorial Review
Our Take on Cichy's Water & Sewer
Cichy's perfect 5.0 rating leans on a specific strength: honest sewer line assessments that talk customers out of unnecessary urgency rather than into it. That specialization is valuable in a city with as much aging clay pipe as Minneapolis, though weekday-only hours limit it for emergencies.
Best for: sewer line repair and replacement on older Minneapolis homes

About Cichy's Water & Sewer
Cichy's Water & Sewer has built a perfect 5.0 rating from 291 Google reviews, read September 17, 2026, working out of a Snelling Avenue address in Minneapolis with sewer and water line repair as its clear specialty.
Reviews describe a company that leads with honesty rather than urgency. One customer called for a second opinion after another company made a problem sound dire, and said technician Mark explained in detail why it wasn't as urgent as claimed and walked through realistic timelines. Another reviewer with a sewer lateral break seventeen feet below the street said the team, including a technician named Jess, talked through every repair scenario and communicated at each step. A third customer needed a new sewer line before listing their home for sale, with a 150-foot belly in the old pipe, and said Cichy's had it replaced and ready in three days.
That focus on sewer and water line work, including clay pipe repair and relining, common in Minneapolis's older housing stock, sets Cichy's apart from plumbers on this list that handle sewer work as one service among many. Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with no weekend service listed. Cichy's does not publish a license number, warranty terms or free estimate policy on the pages reviewed.
Who it suits: homeowners dealing with an older sewer or water line who want a specialist and a straight answer about urgency. Who it suits less well: anyone with a weekend emergency, given the weekday-only hours.
Before booking, ask for the Minnesota plumbing license number, get a written scope of work for any sewer excavation or relining, and confirm the warranty on both materials and labor.

Cichy's Water & Sewer FAQs
Is Cichy's Water & Sewer licensed and insured?

Yes, Cichy's offers free estimate requests through its website and has a dedicated financing option for larger sewer and water line jobs.
Is Cichy's Water & Sewer licensed and insured?
We checked 0 of 1 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.

Workmanship guarantees. There are usually two warranties on a job: the manufacturer covers materials, the contractor covers workmanship. Get both in writing and check whether the workmanship coverage transfers if you sell.
How was this profile built?
