A sewer backup in Festus usually means one thing to the homeowner: get the water flowing again, now. GreenFlow Solutions cables main lines and household drains across Festus and neighboring Crystal City, and if a line keeps giving you trouble, we can put a camera in it to show you what's going on before you spend money on anything bigger.

## Local conditions in Festus

Festus and Crystal City grew up together along the Mississippi River in Jefferson County, and the older housing near downtown Festus and the Main Street area dates back generations. Those older homes often still have clay tile laterals, where roots from mature trees work into the joints and catch paper and debris.

The land here rolls toward Joachim Creek and the river, so lines can run on steep grades in some spots and nearly flat in others. Flat runs are where solids settle and clogs repeat, which is one reason we suggest a camera look when the same drain backs up more than once.

Newer subdivisions along the I-55 corridor and Highway A were built with PVC, where clogs are usually wipes, grease or something flushed that shouldn't have been. Those clear quickly with a cable, and simple habits keep them from coming back.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do you also cover Crystal City and Herculaneum?

We work throughout the Festus area, including Crystal City. Call 636-978-3478 with your address and we'll confirm.

### Why do roots keep clogging my older Festus sewer line?

Clay tile has a joint every few feet, and roots find the moisture there. Cabling cuts them back; a camera check shows whether the joints are cracked or offset.

### Should I clean the line or replace it?

Start with cleaning and a camera look. Many lines just need regular maintenance. If there's real damage, you'll see it on video before deciding on a repair.
