Mississippi Crossings is a redevelopment area of about 160 acres along the Mississippi River, south of the Anoka-Champlin bridge. The City of Champlin describes it as a city-led project to replace aging commercial buildings and apartments. It is not a single-family subdivision, so plumbing here works differently from a neighborhood of houses.
The city lists Applewood Pointe, an 85-unit senior cooperative finished in 2019, and a market-rate rental development by Greco with more than 200 units. It also lists an event center, planned riverfront improvements and the Mill Pond Dam rebuilt in 2016.

Renter, owner or building manager, the first call differs
If you rent an apartment here, call your property manager first. They own the building's pipes, and many leases require tenants to report problems to management. Calling an outside plumber on your own can cause trouble with your lease.
Owners of a cooperative unit should check their cooperative's rules, because shared systems are usually the cooperative's responsibility. Building managers and business operators are who our commercial work is for.
General plumbing informationPlumbing in larger buildings
Apartment and mixed-use buildings share risers, drain stacks, water heating and sometimes a single main shutoff. A leak or backup can reach neighbors, so speed and a clear shutoff plan matter more than they do in a house.
Restaurants and event spaces add grease traps, floor drains and heavy fixture use. Those systems need regular attention to avoid backups at the wrong moment.
Business buildings
Shops, restaurants and event space need planned and urgent service. See commercial plumbing.
Leaks
A stain, a damp wall or a high water bill can point to a hidden leak. See leak detection.
Backups
Slow or gurgling drains in a shared building need prompt clearing. See drain cleaning.
Line checks
A camera shows what is in a sewer line before anyone guesses. See sewer camera inspection.
Tell your property manager or building owner as soon as you see water, so shared shutoffs can be closed.
Look for the shutoff under the sink, behind the toilet or near the water heater in your unit.
Move items off the floor and photograph any damage for your records.
Keep people and pets away from backed-up drains and wash hands after contact.
