Sewer Line Repair in St. Louis
Drain-and-Sewer Team Serving St. Louis Homes & Businesses
A failing sewer line moves fast from inconvenience to crisis. Raw sewage backup, foundation damage, soggy yards, and foul odors are what can happen when a damaged lateral goes unaddressed. In St. Louis, many sewer laterals are original clay pipe more than 100 years old, and the region’s freeze-thaw ground movement accelerates cracking and joint separation. When those conditions catch up with your line, the portion under your private property is entirely your responsibility.

We focus solely on drains and sewers, which means every technician who arrives at your door is trained and equipped specifically for this work.

Sewer Repair & Replacement Methods We Use in St. Louis
Before recommending any repair method, our technicians run a video camera inspection to pinpoint the location, cause, and extent of the damage. That diagnostic step determines which approach fits your pipe’s condition, access constraints, and surroundings. We offer both conventional sewer repair and two trenchless methods. All work meets state and local code requirements using approved products and techniques.
Trenchless Pipe Relining
Pipe Relining inserts a flexible liner into the existing damaged pipe. Once in place, the liner hardens into a new pipe inside the old one, sealing cracks, leaking joints, and minor root intrusion without excavation. This method works well for pipes with corrosion or cracking, but it isn’t suited for fully collapsed or severely offset sections. The result is a smooth, structurally sound pipe with minimal disruption to driveways, landscaping, floors, and utilities above it.
Trenchless Pipe Bursting (ZOOM PowerPipe™)
Pipe Bursting, also offered as our ZOOM PowerPipe™ method, pulls a new pipe through the existing damaged pipe, simultaneously fracturing the old pipe outward and installing the replacement. Individual sections are heat-welded above ground before insertion, producing a seamless new line. This approach suits pipes with significant deterioration where Pipe Relining isn’t viable, and it still avoids the wide open-trench excavation that conventional sewer repair requires.
Conventional Sewer Repair
When a pipe has fully collapsed, suffered severe root intrusion, or sits in a location that makes trenchless methods impractical, conventional sewer repair is the right call. Our technicians perform precise, targeted excavation to access and replace the damaged section, keeping the dig zone as narrow as possible and coordinating with you throughout so you know what to expect at each stage.
Can You Stay in Your Home During Repairs?
In most cases, yes. We coordinate with you to keep daily disruptions manageable while work is underway. Most residential sewer repairs in St. Louis are completed within 1 to 3 days, with trenchless options often running faster depending on pipe length and access. The complexity of the damage and the method used both affect the final timeline, which we’ll lay out clearly before work begins.
Our technicians communicate throughout the job, giving you progress updates at every stage so there are no surprises. We work to keep your home safe and functional from start to finish.
