Orono requires a sewer inspection before a home on city sewer can be sold. We put a camera down your line first, so you know what that inspection will find before you list.
Orono wraps around the north shore of Lake Minnetonka, from Navarre and Casco Point to Crystal Bay, Stubbs Bay, and the homes along North Shore Drive. The city's first sewers went in around Navarre in the 1960s, and other neighborhoods were connected over the following decades, so lines here range from older clay and cast iron to newer plastic. The mature trees around the lake cause the same root problems we see in Wayzata and Minnetonka. Orono is in Hennepin County, so there's no trip charge.
Orono requires an inflow and infiltration (I/I) inspection before a property connected to city sewer is offered for sale. The inspection televises the sewer service from inside the house out to the city main, looking for cracks, separated joints, and roots, and checks for sump pumps, foundation drains, and roof leaders tied into the sanitary sewer. Homes that pass get a certificate that's good for 10 years. Homes that don't get a correction notice, and repairs are due within 90 days.
Requirements change, so call Orono Public Works to confirm the current process before you schedule.
Parts of rural Orono are still on private septic systems. We clear drains inside the house either way, but the tank and drainfield are a job for a septic contractor.
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.
A real person answers the phone, we show up when we said we would, and we protect your floors and clean up after ourselves.
You get camera-verified findings and a flat price quoted up front, every time.
