Services & Process

Superior Sewer's services cover three distinct but connected areas: septic system maintenance and repair, general plumbing, and hydro-jetting. Hydro-jetting uses high pressure water to clear grease buildup, root intrusion, and compacted debris from drain lines and sewer pipes, making it far more effective than snaking for serious blockages. On the septic side, they handle pumping, inspections, and troubleshooting. The plumbing component ties everything together, letting them address problems from the fixture level all the way through to the tank or municipal connection.

Service Area

Superior Sewer serves the greater St. Louis metropolitan area, including both city and county properties. They're accessible to customers throughout St. Louis County, as well as portions of St. Charles County and neighboring communities. Commercial and residential customers across the metro can reach them at (314) 293-3287.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydro-jetting and when is it better than snaking a drain?
Hydro-jetting sends a stream of water at very high pressure through the pipe, cutting through grease, scale, and debris and flushing it completely out of the line. Snaking can break through a clog but often leaves buildup on the pipe walls that causes the problem to return quickly, making jetting the better choice for recurring blockages.
Does Superior Sewer work on commercial properties in St. Louis?
Yes, commercial properties are a significant part of their work, particularly for grease trap cleaning and sewer line jetting in restaurants and food service operations. Commercial grease traps need more frequent service than residential systems and require proper disposal of the waste removed.
Can hydro-jetting damage older pipes?
In most cases hydro-jetting is safe for pipes in reasonable condition, but very old clay tile or severely deteriorated pipes can be at risk if the pressure isn't adjusted appropriately. A good technician will assess the line condition before jetting, and a camera inspection beforehand removes all the guesswork.
Do homes in St. Louis city still have private septic systems?
Most of the city itself is on municipal sewer, but some properties at the edges of the metro and in unincorporated parts of St. Louis County still rely on private septic systems. If you're unsure whether your property is connected to city sewer or on a private system, your county health department or a quick plumbing inspection can clarify it.
How often should a commercial grease trap be cleaned?
Most health codes and best practices call for grease trap cleaning every one to three months for active food service operations, though high volume kitchens may need it more frequently. Letting a grease trap go too long between cleanings leads to odors, slow drains, and potential code violations.
What causes tree roots to get into sewer lines and what can be done?
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and will infiltrate small cracks or loose joints in older sewer pipes over time. Hydro-jetting can clear the roots out, but if root intrusion is severe or recurring, a pipe inspection may reveal that sections of the line need to be repaired or relined to prevent it from happening again.
