The majority of houses in Olivette were built in the late 1950s. Construction of some homes in this St. Louis community included cast iron waste stacks and galvanized steel or brass supply lines, which have about a 40-year lifespan and should be repaired or replaced if they haven’t yet.
Whether you live in one of these older homes, or newer construction, be sure to schedule regular drain cleanings to keep your home in good working order. Olivette homeowners with plumbing and drain issues trust the plumbing experts at Maplewood Plumbing and Sewer.

Laundry Room plumbing
Whether you have a dedicated space, or your washer and dryer are in a closet or basement, laundry room plumbing components must be maintained. Maplewood Plumbing and Sewer’s experts 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
Your Olivette home’s outdoor plumbing system consists of landscape drains, outdoor sewer clean outs, sprinkler systems, gutter systems and downspouts, spigots and hoses. The best way to avoid plumbing problems that require emergency services is to properly maintain each of these components. It’s also good for your wallet and your peace of mind!
Water Heater Installation
Water enters your home at a chilly 50-degrees. It’s your water heater’s job to more than double the temperature each time a family member takes a shower (the average shower temp is 105 degrees). Because the typical life span of a traditional water heater is eight to 12 years, you’ll eventually be in the market for a new one. Our experts can tell you whether you need water heater repair or replacement. Learn more about water heater installation and operating costs here.

Olivette 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 city of Olivette has 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 Olivette may cover a portion of 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 with your application
