Shout Out of the Week!

We’re kicking off November with a little appreciation for the people who make Ron the Sewer Rat what it is, our customers and our crew!

This week’s shout-out goes to John, who recently received some kind words from Linda
“John was great to work with. He explained everything that needed to be done. It started out with a replacement of a garbage disposal, but I had a new sink I wanted to replace and he. graciously replaced my sink in my disposal.. A five thumbs up for John. Thank you so much.”

We love hearing that our team is making a difference, one drain, one repair, and one homeowner at a time. Thanks for trusting the Rats!

An Extra Hour of Sleep? We’ll Take It!

The clocks have fallen back, giving us one extra hour this weekend. Unfortunately, your plumbing didn’t get the memo.

That slow drain? Still slow. That dripping faucet? Still dripping. That basement floor drain making strange noises? Still suspicious.

Enjoy the extra hour of sleep, Twin Cities! And if your plumbing decides to make some noise, you know who to call.

Ron the Sewer Rat, keeping things flowing since 1972.

Happy Halloween from Ron the Sewer Rat!

Ghosts in the attic? Spooky.

Skeletons in the closet? Creepy.

Something bubbling up from your drain? Now THAT is scary.

Whether you’re handing out candy, taking the kids trick-or-treating, or settling in for a scary movie, we hope your Halloween is filled with treats and very few plumbing tricks.

And remember, some things belong in the trash, not down the drain. Your pipes have enough monsters lurking in them already.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween from all of us at Ron the Sewer Rat!

It’s National Candy Corn Day, which means it’s time for the annual debate:

Candy corn is…

A. A delicious Halloween classic
B. Basically flavored candle wax
C. Something you eat once a year just to confirm you still don’t like it
D. The greatest candy ever created, and you will not tolerate the disrespect

Whatever side you’re on, we can probably all agree on one thing, candy belongs in the candy bowl, not down the drain.

Happy National Candy Corn Day from the Sewer Rats!

Happy National Cat Day!

You might think a company called Ron the Sewer Rat would have a complicated relationship with cats.

Surprisingly, our Sewer Rat gets along pretty well with the homeowners’ cats we meet on the job.

Maybe it’s professional courtesy. Maybe they know he’s too big to chase. Or maybe they’re just keeping a VERY close eye on him.

Either way, today we’re celebrating all the cats who supervise our technicians, inspect the tool bags, and make sure the Sewer Rat behaves himself while he’s in their house.

Happy National Cat Day to all our feline friends!

Halloween is almost here, which means chocolate season is officially in full swing.

Today is National Chocolate Day, so consider this your warm-up for Saturday night.

Whether you’re a Reese’s person, a Snickers fan, or someone who mysteriously “checks” the kids’ candy after they go to bed, we hope you enjoy a little chocolate today.

Just remember, candy wrappers belong in the trash, not down the toilet. Our Sewer Rats would much rather spend Halloween chasing clogs caused by something else.

What chocolate are you hoping to find in the Halloween candy bowl this year?

Shout-Out of the Week: Trusted by Agents, Chosen by Homebuyers

This week’s shout-out comes from Mark, a real estate professional whose clients rely on accurate, fast, and honest sewer video inspections during home purchases — one of the most important (and often overlooked) steps in the process.

Here’s what he shared:
“My clients have used Ron the Sewer Rat for numerous video inspections of main line sewers. Always prompt and do an excellent job. They did a great job as usual today!!”

Video inspections are critical for protecting buyers from unexpected sewer repairs, and prompt scheduling with clear, unbiased reporting is exactly what we aim to deliver — every single time.

Thank you, Mark, for trusting us with your clients and for recognizing Nick’s consistent work. We value the partnership and the opportunity to support smooth, confident real estate transactions.

Happy National Pumpkin Day!

With Halloween right around the corner, plenty of families are getting ready to carve their jack-o'-lanterns. Here’s a friendly tip from your neighborhood Sewer Rats:

Keep the pumpkin guts OUT of your drains and garbage disposal.

Pumpkin pulp is thick, stringy, and fibrous. It can wrap around your garbage disposal and contribute to a nasty clog in your kitchen drain.

A better plan:
• Scoop the seeds and pulp onto newspaper, a paper bag, or directly into a bowl.
• Roast the seeds for a Halloween snack.
• Compost the pulp if you can.
• Toss the rest in the trash.

Carve the pumpkin. Scare the neighbors. Protect the drains.

And if something spooky does end up lurking in your pipes, you know who to call.
