About Banner Plumbing & Sewer in Saint Louis, MO

A professional plumbing inspection, especially with a camera, allows us to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes. For persistent kitchen clogs, we can identify the location and thickness of grease buildup, check for partial blockages further down the line, and assess if your pipes are damaged or misaligned, which can trap debris. This precise diagnosis means we can target the real problem, not just the symptom, providing a more effective and lasting solution than a simple drain snake.

Our standard inspection for Saint Louis homeowners is comprehensive. We check all visible fixtures for leaks and function, test water pressure, inspect exposed pipes for corrosion, and most importantly, perform a video camera inspection of your main drain and sewer line. Given our local soil conditions and older infrastructure, we pay special attention to the sewer line for signs of root intrusion, cracks, or bellies that could lead to backups. We provide a detailed report with photos and video, so you know exactly what shape your plumbing is in.

For a single, slow-moving drain, a simple clearing might suffice. However, if the slowness is persistent, affects multiple fixtures, or you notice gurgling sounds, an inspection is the smarter first step. In many Saint Louis homes, a slow drain is an early warning sign of a larger issue developing in the main sewer line, like a partial clog or structural problem. An inspection identifies this early, potentially saving you from a much more expensive and disruptive full sewer backup down the road. We can advise you on the best course of action.
