For real estate professionals

An inspection found plumbing work. Get a usable repair scope.

Send Pioneer the inspection report, sewer-camera footage, property details, and transaction deadline. Ask whether the existing material is enough to prepare a repair scope and quote. A site or camera visit may still be needed.

“Ethan and Jon did an amazing job on our project. The Communication each morning and at the end of their workday gave me a update that I really appreciated. They did a great job of cleaning up after themselves each day and then when the entire four-day project was completed. Greg and the entire Pioneer Plumbing team were awesome to work with. I plan to use them again for future projects.”

“Hugh thank you to Ethan at Pioneer Plumbing for taking care of our sewer main. It was about as painless as any major plumbing experience could be. He took care to restore the lawn and slope at the finish line. Thanks so much to you and the crew!”

“Pioneer has been saved to my phone list as my permanent contact for such repairs! They do excellent work! We had a sewer pipe that needed to be replaced. Ethan and John were knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and attentive to our needs. They were finished in two days and did an excellent job. Even the back fill and seeding looked good!”

FAQ

Questions people ask before a sewer dig

Is my sewer backup a city problem or mine?

A camera inspection can help locate the problem. Ownership and repair responsibility depend on where the issue is found, local utility rules, and the property records.

Does Pioneer Plumbing Restoration work in both Illinois and Missouri?

Yes. Pioneer Plumbing Restoration serves both sides of the river from Marine, Illinois. Greg Muehlfeld holds plumbing licenses in Illinois, St. Louis City, and St. Louis County. Pioneer confirms the requirements for each property and job.

How long does a sewer main dig take?

It depends on pipe length, access, weather, permits, and what the camera finds. Pioneer discusses the expected schedule and communication plan before approved excavation begins.

How is the yard handled after a sewer dig?

The quoted restoration approach may include staged backfill, grading, and surface restoration. Reused soil, fresh dirt, topsoil, seed, and finish details depend on site conditions, availability, jurisdiction, project scope, and the approved quote.

How do I get a real number before work starts?

Call Pioneer Plumbing Restoration at (314) 568-7718. The crew diagnoses the line, often with a camera, then gives you a real number before digging or replacing pipe. You stay involved in decisions during the job. If the scope needs to change, the crew explains why before continuing.

Pioneer Plumbing Restoration serves St. Louis City with general plumbing and drain work, and serves St. Louis County and Metro East Illinois with sewer, drain, repair, and emergency plumbing.

MSD explains that the lateral connecting a home or building to the public sewer is private property maintained by the owner. Review MSD’s lateral-line guidance. You can verify Illinois plumbing credentials through IDPH. For local St. Louis credentials, use the County licensed-master-plumber page and the City Board of Examiners.
