When your sewer line has multiple breaks, severe deterioration, or has collapsed entirely, replacement is the permanent solution. STL Plumbing Pros offers both conventional excavation and trenchless pipe bursting for complete sewer line replacement. Camera inspection guides every project — you see the problem before we quote the solution.
When Replacement Is the Right Choice
Multiple breaks or separations visible on camera inspection.
Orangeburg (tar paper) pipe — this material deteriorates completely and cannot be lined.
Severely corroded cast iron with multiple failure points.
Pipe has bellied (sagged) creating chronic low spots that trap waste.
Previous repairs have failed or the line has been patched too many times.

We remove or burst the old pipe and install new PVC sewer line with proper grade and connections. All work meets St. Louis code requirements.
