About the Homes in Creve Coeur
Many homes in Creve Coeur were constructed in the early 1970s, which means plumbing systems built from now-outdated materials will soon be in need of repair. This includes galvanized steel and brass supply pipes. In addition, many homeowners are choosing to remodel their bathrooms—either because the original, builder-grade fixtures have failed or because they’ve simply gone out of style. For more than 30 years, Maplewood Plumbing & Sewer has worked with Creve Coeur residents to repair or replace:

Creve Coeur’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 Creve Coeur has a Sewer Lateral Repair Program that pays 70% of the repair costs, up to $7,500 for any broken section of a sewer lateral from outside your’s home’s foundation wall all the way to MSD’s main sewer line.
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 Creve Coeur Sewer Lateral Program will cover 70% of the repair cost! As the homeowner, you are responsible for hiring a plumber to try to unclog or open the sewer lateral. If a drain cleaning doesn’t work, ask your plumber to perform a camera drain inspection to determine the root of the problem. Maplewood Plumbing will provide you with a video of your inspection that you can submit along with this Sanitary Sewer Lateral Application to the Department of Public Works for review. Your application and video will be evaluated to determine whether the lateral has issues that warrant repairs and whether the repairs qualify for reimbursement through the SLRP.
