What We Do
Complete Sewer Services for St. Louis
From a quick rooter cabling to a full trenchless line replacement — if it runs underground and carries waste, we handle it.
Sewer Cabling & Rooter
Powered cabling cuts through roots and clogs to get your main drain flowing again — fast. The everyday fix for a backed-up sewer line.
Hydro-Jet Flushing
High-pressure water scours the inside of the pipe wall clean — grease, scale and debris — restoring full flow on badly fouled lines.
Sewer & Water Line Repair
Cracked, collapsed or root-invaded sewer and water service lines — repaired or fully replaced, dug and done by a crew that does it every day.
Trenchless Repair
Where the site allows, we fix lines with minimal digging — saving your yard, driveway and landscaping from a full excavation.
Excavation & Dig Service
When a line has to come up, our excavation crew gets in, gets the repair done, and gets it backfilled — clean and code-compliant.

Common Questions
St. Louis Sewer Service FAQ
How much does sewer cleaning cost in St. Louis?
Most St. Louis sewer cabling jobs run a few hundred dollars, but the honest answer is: it depends on what's in the line. That's why we give free estimates — call 314-890-0900, describe what's happening, and we'll tell you what it's likely to cost before anyone rolls a truck. Seniors get $20 off cabling service.
How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged?
The classic signs: multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling toilets, water around the basement floor drain, or sewage smell. If it's just one sink, it's probably a local clog — but if the lowest drains in the house are backing up, that's the main sewer line and it needs cabling or jetting.
Do St. Louis municipalities pay for sewer lateral repairs?
Many do. The City of St. Louis and a number of St. Louis County municipalities run sewer lateral repair programs that can cover some or all of the cost of repairing the lateral line between your home and the main. We work with these programs every day — ask us whether your address qualifies before you pay out of pocket.
What is the difference between sewer cabling and hydro jetting?
Cabling (rodding/rootering) drills a rotating cable through the blockage to restore flow — it's the fast, standard fix for roots and clogs. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall with high-pressure water, clearing grease, scale and debris that cabling leaves behind. Cabling opens the line; jetting cleans it.
What areas of St. Louis do you serve?
We serve the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and surrounding communities — including Bel-Ridge, Florissant, Ferguson, Bridgeton, Maryland Heights, University City, Webster Groves, Kirkwood and Affton. Not sure if you're in range? Call 314-890-0900 and we'll tell you straight.
Should I get a sewer camera inspection before buying a house in St. Louis?
Yes — especially with older St. Louis housing stock, where clay laterals and mature tree roots are common. A camera inspection shows the actual condition of the sewer line before you buy, and you get a digital video report you can use in negotiations. It's one of the cheapest ways to avoid a five-figure surprise.
