About the Homes in Central West End
The 1904 World’s Fair prompted significant construction growth in Central West End. Single-family residences are outnumbered 2:1 by condominiums and apartments—many of which were once hotels used during the World’s Fair. Given that most residences were developed in the early 20th century, plumbing systems are due for upgrades in these historic homes.

Central West End’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 intrusions. In much the same way, the main sewer drain that leads all the way to MSD can break or cave in, and that can be expensive to repair. Thankfully, the Central West End does have a Sewer Lateral Repair 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 or broken drain pipe. Knowing where the blockage is located is important, because if the clog is outside of your property, the city of Carondelet may cover the repair costs. As the homeowner, you are responsible for hiring a licensed plumber to diagnose the cause of the blockage. Maplewood Plumbing’s camera drain inspection shows you exactly where the problem is and will provide you with a video of the inspection to submit to the Street Department. If you pay your property real estate taxes and the break is under the City’s right of way, they will cover the repair costs. Click here for more details and to file a claim.
