About the Homes in Valley Park
Compared to the rest of the St. Louis metropolitan area, most of Valley Park’s homes are relatively new, with a median age of approximately 25 years. Given proper preventive maintenance, major systems in these homes, such as waste stacks and supply lines, will function properly for several more years.

Valley Park 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 Valley Park 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 drain pipe. Knowing where the blockage is located is important, because if the clog is somewhere along the sewer lateral at least five feet outside your home’s foundation, the City of Valley Park’s Sewer Lateral Repair Program may cover repair costs up to $3,500. To qualify for reimbursement, homeowners must pay the annual lateral assessment fee on their real property tax bill each year and pay to have the lateral cleaned. If a drain cleaning does not remove the blockage, homeowners should submit the application along with a letter from a licensed plumbing company that the line could not be opened, proof of paid real estate tax, and a $250 deposit for a camera drain inspection.
