How It Works

Simple & Transparent From Start To Finish

No confusing steps, no scare tactics. You see what's happening on camera, receive a clear flat-rate price, and decide what gets done.

  1. 01

    Request Service

    Call us or fill out the form. Tell us which drains are backing up and how often, and we schedule a visit at a time that works for you.

  2. 02

    Clear the Clog

    A licensed technician clears the line and gets your drains running. For most calls, that is the whole job.

  3. 03

    Find Out Why It Clogged

    If the line has backed up before, or if the clog is in the main, we run a camera down the line so you can see what is actually happening in there. Roots, a bellied pipe, a collapsed section or decades of scale all look different, and they need different fixes.

  4. 04

    Repair or Replace, Your Call

    If the line is sound, we tell you that and you are done. If the camera shows a real failure, we walk you through repair versus replacement with clear numbers and let you decide. No pressure and no scare tactics.

  5. 05

    Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing

    Before any work starts, you get a clear flat-rate price. No hidden fees and no number that changes after the fact.

  6. 06

    Scheduled Repair or Replacement

    Once you approve, we get to work. We arrive on time, protect your property during the job, restore the line to code and keep disruption to a minimum.

  7. 07

    Final Walkthrough & Completion

    We test the line, walk you through what was done, answer questions and confirm you are satisfied before we leave.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers about drain backups, camera inspections, and St. Louis sewer repair.

A drain that backs up repeatedly usually means the problem is not the clog, it is the line. Root intrusion, a sagging or bellied section, scale buildup or a cracked pipe will keep catching debris no matter how many times it gets snaked. A camera inspection shows which one you are dealing with.
