While the oldest homes in Ferguson date all the way back to the 1850s, most homes in this area were constructed in the decade following WWII, from the late 1940s through the 50s.

Ferguson’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 Ferguson 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 Ferguson Sewer Lateral Program may cover 85% 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 will need a camera drain inspection to determine the location of the problem. Maplewood Plumbing’s camera drain inspection shows you exactly where the problem and will provide you with a video of the inspection is so that you can complete a Sewer Lateral Repair Application. If a break is identified the City of Ferguson will reimburse you for the cost of the video inspection. Click here to learn more about Ferguson’s Sewer Lateral Program.
