One of our most requested services is drain cleaning and pipe repair — and with good reason. Aging infrastructure, root intrusion, and seasonal shifts make plumbing maintenance essential for preventing costly water damage.
Recent Call: University City Pipe Emergency We recently received an emergency call from a University City homeowner experiencing repeated toilet backups. Upon inspection, our licensed plumber discovered a severe tree root intrusion in the main sewer line — a common issue in neighborhoods with mature trees and older clay pipes. Using a combination of hydro jetting and camera inspection, we cleared the blockage and replaced a section of compromised piping with modern PVC, restoring proper flow and eliminating future risk.
Our Services Include:
- Complete drain cleaning services using hydro jetting
- Sewer line camera inspections and diagnostics
- Pipe repair and trenchless replacement
- Sink, toilet, and shower drain repair
- Emergency service and routine maintenance plans
Plumbing FAQs:
- “How can I prevent clogs in older homes?” Avoid flushing wipes or pouring grease down drains. Regular inspections can also catch minor issues before they escalate.
- “Do I need a permit for pipe replacement?” Yes, and our team handles all city-required permits and inspections.
- “Can you help with slow drains or gurgling toilets?” Absolutely — these are early signs of blockage or venting issues. Addressing them early prevents full-blown emergencies.
