St. Louis County, MO

Kirkwood's tree-lined streets are a big part of its charm, and they're also a big reason its sewer lines clog. GreenFlow Solutions cables main lines and household drains across Kirkwood, and when roots or old pipe seem to be the cause, we can run a camera so you can see what's going on before deciding on anything bigger.

## Local conditions in Kirkwood

Kirkwood began in the 1850s as one of the first planned suburbs along the railroad west of St. Louis, and many homes near downtown and Argonne Drive are a century old or more. Lines under those houses are often clay tile or cast iron. Clay lets roots in at the joints, and old cast iron scales and narrows from the inside.

Large oaks and maples shade many Kirkwood blocks, and their roots can travel a long way toward a leaking sewer joint. Root clogs tend to come back after cabling, so a line that backs up every year or so usually benefits from a camera look and a regular cleaning schedule.

Kirkwood is served by MSD (Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District) for the public sewers, while the private lateral from the house to the MSD sewer is generally the owner's to maintain. Many Kirkwood basements have floor drains, and a backup there or gurgling toilets usually point to the main line.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you clear roots without digging up my yard?

Yes. Cabling cuts roots out of the line from a cleanout. A camera afterward shows whether the pipe is still sound or needs repair.

### Do you work on older homes near downtown Kirkwood?

Yes. We work throughout Kirkwood, including older homes near downtown, Argonne Drive, Geyer Road and Big Bend Boulevard.

### Will hydro jetting help with heavy buildup?

In sound pipe, jetting can scour buildup a cable leaves behind. We camera the line first to make sure it can handle it.

### How much does sewer cleaning cost in Kirkwood?
