Affton’s Sewer Lateral Program
A residential sewer lateral is the sewer pipe that runs from your home’s foundation to the sewer main. The sewer pipes inside your home can become clogged or crack due to tree roots or other issues. In much the same way, the main sewer drain that leads all the way to MSD can break or clog, and that can be extremely cost prohibitive to fix (upwards of $15k). Thankfully, the community of Affton is part of St. Louis County, which does have a Sewer Lateral Program to offset the costs of repairing a broken sewer lateral.
If you experience slow drains, foul odors, or low water pressure, you could have a clogged drain pipe. Knowing where the blockage is located is important, because if the clog is somewhere along the sewer lateral, the St. Louis County Sewer Lateral Program may cover a portion of the repair costs! As the homeowner, you are responsible for hiring a plumber to diagnose and fix the blockage. Maplewood Plumbing’s camera drain inspection tells us exactly where the problem is so that you can complete a Sewer Lateral Repair Application. Click here for details and to apply.
