Trust the Lucky Dog team to provide you the best sewer & drain solutions for residential and commercial properties.
Edina’s older neighborhoods, from Country Club to Morningside, sit on some of the oldest sewer lines in the west metro. We inspect and service them honestly, showing you everything on camera.
Pre-1940 homes here often have original clay-tile or cast-iron laterals that are prone to root intrusion and buildup. We clear backups, clean main lines, and run camera inspections so you know the true condition of your pipes, not a guess. For buyers, a sewer scope before closing can reveal a costly problem early. Every visit is flat-rate, quoted before we start.
If you're looking for a team that will get the job done right, on-time, and when you need it, then you've found the right people.
We lead with honesty: the camera does the talking and the flat price comes first, every time.
We recommend only what we would want in our own home, then let you decide when you are ready. No scare tactics, no pressure.

Age and pipe material. Homes built before 1940 in these neighborhoods commonly have original clay tile or cast iron laterals, which develop cracks, offset joints, and root intrusion over decades. It doesn't necessarily mean there's an immediate problem, but it does mean that these lines are due for a look.
A camera inspection is included with every main line cleaning. A standalone sewer camera inspection, for example before a home purchase, is $249.
Clay tile pipe is jointed in short, two foot sections, which makes it more vulnerable to root intrusion at the joints. Cast iron is more durable but corrodes and scales over decades, which narrows the pipe, slows drainage, and weakens the structural integrity of the pipe. Both are common in Edina's older housing stock, and both benefit from periodic camera checks.
Yes. Every job is quoted up front, so you know the cost before we touch anything.
Clay tile and cast iron lines can last 50–100 years, but lifespans vary a lot based on soil conditions, tree cover, past maintenance, and historical use. Regular camera checks are the only reliable way to know where your specific line stands.
