Ellisville’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 expensive to fix (upwards of $15k). Thankfully, the community of Ellisville 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 City of Ellisville Sewer Lateral Program may cover a portion of the repair costs. As the homeowner, you are responsible for hiring a licensed plumber to perform a drain cleaning. If the drain cleaning does not fix the issue, you can complete an Application and the city will hire a contractor to perform a camera drain inspection to determine the problem. Once the location of the broken sewer lateral is. determined, the homeowner is responsible for obtaining three bids rom city-approved contractors. After the work is completed, payment will be made to the contractor. Click here for more details about Ellisville’s Sewer Lateral Insurance Program.
