What this business does
Forest Lake Pro Plumbing is a local plumbing service for homes and small businesses in Forest Lake, Minnesota and the nearby towns of Wyoming, Hugo, Columbus, and Scandia. The line is open 24 hours a day, every day, and every request starts with a phone call.
There is no online form. A plumber needs to hear what you are seeing, so the dispatcher asks questions, gives you safety steps to follow while you wait, and schedules the first available visit. Same-day appointments are offered when available.
How a call works
You describe the problem
Tell the dispatcher what is leaking, clogged, or not working, and whether there is danger.
You get a clear price
The price for the work is given before it starts, so you can decide.
A plumber is sent
The visit is scheduled for the earliest slot, including nights and weekends.
The work is explained
The plumber tells you what was found and what was done.
Checking a plumber's license
Minnesota regulates plumbing contractors. The state requires businesses that contract to perform plumbing work to hold a plumbing contractor license, with a responsible master plumber, a surety bond, and liability insurance. You can check any plumber on the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup at dli.mn.gov.
We encourage you to verify before you hire anyone, including us. A legitimate plumber will not mind the question.
What we do not do
- We do not respond to gas leaks. If you smell gas, leave the building and call the gas utility or 911.
- We do not take requests by online form or text. Call the 24/7 line.
- We do not quote exact prices without hearing the problem, because honest plumbing prices depend on the situation.
- We do not promise a specific arrival time.
Where to find our services
The services page lists everything we handle, from drain cleaning to water heater replacement and sewer line repair. The service areas page covers the nearby towns, and the contact page has the address, phone, and a map.
The kinds of calls we take most
Most calls fall into a few groups. Backed up drains and toilets lead the list, followed by water heaters that stopped heating or started to leak, sump pumps that quit during a storm, and pipes that froze or burst in cold weather. A smaller share are planned jobs such as a new water heater, a repipe, or a basement bathroom.
Because Minnesota winters are hard on plumbing, calls cluster around cold snaps and spring thaw. The pages on burst pipes and sump pumps explain what to do before a plumber arrives.
Why the line is call-only
A plumbing emergency changes by the minute. A form sits in an inbox, but a call reaches a person who can tell you to shut the main valve, stop running the drains, or leave the house. That safety advice is the first thing the dispatcher gives, and it is why the whole site points to one phone number.
The office address on Lake Street South is listed so you know where the business is based. Most work happens at your property, so the phone is the first step, and the contact page explains what to have ready when you call.
If you are comparing plumbers, ask each one the same three questions: who holds the license, what the price is before work begins, and what the warranty covers. The answers tell you more than any advertisement.
We also say no when the job is not ours. A gas smell, a sparking outlet, or a flooded septic tank needs the gas utility, an electrician, or a septic pumper first, and the dispatcher will tell you so instead of sending a plumber to the wrong problem.
Questions Before You Book?
Call the 24/7 line and ask. The dispatcher will explain how a visit works.
Our commitment to local facts
Where we mention water hardness, sewer rules, or city code on this site, the facts come from the City of Forest Lake, the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, Washington County, and other public sources. If we could not verify something, we left it out or told you to ask the city.
Checking a plumber's license
According to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, plumbing contractors must hold a state license, with a responsible master plumber and a surety bond. The license lookup at dli.mn.gov lets you confirm any plumber before you hire.
Common Questions
Ask for the contractor's license number before you agree to any job, then look it up on the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. This site does not publish license numbers, so verification starts with that question.
No. Service is call-only because a plumber needs to hear the symptoms. Call the 24/7 line.
