Des Peres has a mix of historic homes—some more than 100 years old—and residences constructed in the mid 1970s. As with all older construction, the most significant plumbing concerns include cracking cast iron waste stacks and deteriorating galvanized steel supply pipes. Even new homes require regular drain cleaning and occasional plumbing services. For 40 years, Des Peres residents with plumbing issues—or in need of plumbing services—have trusted the experts at Maplewood Plumbing and Sewer.

Bathroom plumbing
Maplewood Plumbing & Sewer has been trusted to take care of Des Peres’ bathroom plumbing needs since 1985. We are experts in water pressure restoration, installation, and repair services for showers, tubs, and toilets.
Laundry Room plumbing
Whether you have a dedicated space, or your washer and dryer are in a closet or basement, there are several plumbing components to keep maintained. At Maplewood Plumbing and Sewer, we specialize in repairing, replacing, and installing laundry room standpipes, utility sinks, and laundry boxes to keep your laundry plumbing system functioning as it should.
Outdoor plumbing
The outdoor plumbing system of your Des Peres home includes landscape drains, outdoor sewer clean outs, sprinkler systems, gutter systems and downspouts, spigots and hoses. Proper maintenance of all these components can help you avoid plumbing problems that require emergency services. And that’s good for your wallet and your peace of mind!
Water Heater Services
The water that enters your home is about 50-degrees Fahrenheit, but the average shower temperature is 105-degrees. The water heater in your home works hard every day to heat that water for you. The typical lifespan of a traditional water heater is 8-12 years, so whether you use gas or electric, you’ll eventually need to give it some attention. A professional plumber can tell you whether you need water heater repair or replacement.
Remodeling
From the bathrooms and the kitchen to the laundry room and basement, most home remodeling projects require the help of a professional plumber. If you’ve taken on a remodeling project, Maplewood Plumbing’s expertise can help get you through the difficult installations in any room.
Gas Pipe Services
Transitioning from oil, coal, or electric energy to natural gas requires professional assistance. A trusted plumber can help you think through the costs and benefits of gas and will work with you to develop a project plan, make the right decisions about materials and installation, and help you understand the risks of using natural gas.
Whether you need to schedule a gas line installation, gas pipe repairs, or your annual gas line inspection, Maplewood Plumbing can help.
Pipe Replacement
All the plumbing in your home begins and ends at your street. All the plumbing in the street is owned by the water district. The pipes on your property belong to you so when they need to be repaired or replaced, it’s up to you. If your Des Peres home has outdated pipes or a sewer line leak, you likely need expert pipe repair or replacement services.

Des Peres’ 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 Des Peres has a Sewer Lateral Repair Program that pays all repair costs under $7,500 for any broken section of a sewer lateral from outside your 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 Des Peres Sewer Lateral Program may cover 100% of the repair costs!
As the homeowner, you are responsible for hiring a plumber to try to unclog or open the sewer lateral. If a drain cleaning fixes the problem, the sewer lateral does not need to be repaired. If it does not fix the issue, state the problem on your plumbing invoice and apply to the Sewer Lateral Program. Note that Des Peres residents must pay a $225 application fee. The city of Des Peres will arrange for a camera drain inspection to determine the root of the problem. If the video shows damage, the city will pay for the repair, up to $7,500. All costs beyond this amount are the homeowner’s responsibility.
