FAQs

Sewer line camera inspections allow our licensed plumbers to look directly inside your pipes using high-definition waterproof cameras. This helps us quickly identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, and other issues without unnecessary digging. If you're dealing with slow drains, recurring backups, or foul odors, scheduling a sewer camera inspection with us is the best way to pinpoint the problem before it turns into a costly repair.

Your sewer lateral is the underground pipe that connects your home or business's plumbing to the city's main sewer line. In most cases, property owners-not the city-are responsible for maintaining and repairing this section. We specialize in sewer lateral inspections and replacements throughout the St. Louis area. We're certified to handle Sewer Lateral Insurance Program claims, and we provide trenchless repair options to minimize disruption to your yard or parking lot.

Our trenchless sewer repair process uses state-of-the-art equipment to repair or replace damaged sewer laterals without tearing up your driveway, landscaping, or sidewalks. Depending on the condition, we can perform pipe bursting (replacing the old line) or pipe relining (installing a new liner inside the existing pipe). This method is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than traditional excavation and is built to last decades.

For most homes, we recommend hiring a professional drain cleaning plumber once a year to prevent buildup from grease, soap, hair, and food particles. Commercial properties or restaurants may need quarterly cleanings due to higher usage. We use hydro jetting and advanced drain snakes to safely clear out your lines and restore full flow. Regular maintenance helps you avoid backups and emergency calls down the road.

We have seen that a standard tank water heater lasts around eight to 12 years, while tankless water heaters can last 20+ years, according to This Old House, with proper maintenance. Regular flushing, inspections, and repairs help extend your system's lifespan. We offer annual maintenance plans and water heater repair to keep your hot water running efficiently year-round.

Frequent backups are often caused by tree root intrusion, broken sewer laterals, grease buildup, or foreign objects lodged in your main line. With sewer line camera inspections, we can locate the exact cause and determine whether a drain cleaning or sewer repair is needed. We always provide video footage and clear explanations so you can make an informed decision.
