Fast, Reliable St. Louis Sewer Services
Sewer problems in St. Louis can come from a lot of directions; aging cast iron pipes, root intrusions, shifting ground, decades of buildup. And they rarely resolve on their own. What starts as a slow drain or an occasional odor can turn into a backed-up basement or a collapsed line if it goes unaddressed long enough.
Maplewood Plumbing has been servicing sewer systems throughout St. Louis long enough to know what we’re looking at when we get there. You’ll get an honest read on what’s going on, a clear estimate, and a recommendation that actually makes sense for your home.
Our Full Range of Sewer Services
When a sewer problem is a health hazard as much as a property hazard, you need a team that can handle it all. We offer a full range of St. Louis sewer services, from the simplest cleaning to a complete underground replacement.
Sewer Camera Inspections
Before we recommend any repair, cleaning, or replacement, we put a high-definition camera in the line. A sewer camera inspection shows us exactly where the problem is, what’s causing it, and what the rest of the pipe looks like. Nothing is a guess and you never pay for more than you need. For older St. Louis homes with cast iron or clay sewer lines, a proactive camera inspection is also one of the best ways to get ahead of a problem before it becomes an emergency.
Sewer Cleaning & Jetting Services
A standard snake clears a clog. Hydro jetting clears everything. We’re talking grease, mineral buildup, root intrusion, and years of accumulated debris. This process involves blasting the full interior of your sewer line with high-pressure water. It’s one of the most effective maintenance services a St. Louis homeowner can invest in, and it’s done without any chemicals or damage to your pipes.
Sewer Line Repair Services
Not every sewer problem requires tearing up your yard or your basement floor. When the damage is localized, like a cracked section, a compromised joint, a short run of deteriorated pipe, targeted repairs are often the right call. Maplewood Plumbing performs precision sewer lateral repairs throughout St. Louis, fixing what needs to be fixed without creating more disruption than necessary.
Sewer Pipe Lining Services
If your sewer line is cracked or corroding but still holds its shape, trenchless pipe lining may allow us to restore it without breaking open your basement floor or digging up your yard. We saturate a liner with epoxy, insert it into the existing pipe, and cure it in place. This creates a durable new pipe within the old one. It’s a more convenient option for homeowners when the pipe conditions support it, and it can extend the life of your sewer system by decades.
Sewer Line Excavation & Replacement
When a sewer line has collapsed, shifted, or deteriorated past the point of repair or lining, full replacement is the only solution that’s going to last. Maplewood Plumbing handles complete sewer line replacement and excavation services (including basement dig ups, yard excavations, and full lateral replacements from the house to the city main.)
Signs You May Need Sewer Drain Services
Sewer systems rarely fail without warning. The signs aren’t always obvious at first, but if you know what to look for, you can catch a problem before it turns into a major repair. Here are the most common warning signs we hear about from homeowners.
- Odors: A persistent sewage smell inside or outside your home is one of the clearest signs something is wrong. If it keeps coming back no matter how much you clean, there’s a good chance you have a crack, blockage, or leak somewhere in the line.
- Sounds: Occasional gurgling from your drains or toilets is normal. Constant gurgling (or gurgling in one fixture when you’re using another) usually points to a blockage or venting issue further down the line.
- Slow or Backed-Up Drains: One slow drain is usually a localized clog. Multiple slow drains throughout the house at the same time, or sewage backing up into your basement floor drain, almost always means the problem is in your main sewer line.
- Pests: Rodents and insects are attracted to open sewage. If you’re suddenly dealing with a pest problem and can’t explain why, a sewer leak may be the source.
- Wet or Soft Spots in the Yard: If your lawn has patches that stay soggy even when it hasn’t rained, your sewer line may be leaking underground. Unusually lush or green sections of grass over your sewer line are another common tell.
- Higher Water Bills: An unexplained spike in your water bill can indicate a plumbing issue that’s gone unnoticed. If you’ve ruled out other causes, your sewer system is worth a look.
These are not the only signs you may need sewer drain services, but they’re the most common ones we see. If you’re noticing more than one, don’t wait. The longer a sewer problem goes unaddressed, the more it tends to cost. Call (314) 645-6350 Today!
