Sewer Lateral Repair Program

A sewer lateral is the underground pipe that connects a home’s plumbing system to the municipal sewer main. Over time, these pipes can develop cracks, blockages, or collapses due to age, shifting soil, tree roots, or heavy use. When a sewer lateral fails, it can lead to backups, slow drains, unpleasant odors, and costly property damage if not addressed promptly. Many municipalities across Missouri have implemented Sewer Lateral Repair Programs to help homeowners identify and repair failing lines. These programs provide guidance, support, and in some cases, cost-sharing or financial assistance to ensure repairs are done correctly.

At Barth Company Sewer & Water, we work closely with municipalities throughout Missouri to help homeowners navigate these programs and repair their sewer laterals efficiently. We use advanced cameras and diagnostic tools to identify the root cause, coordinate directly with local programs to meet all requirements, and perform professional repairs or full replacements that comply with city standards. We also ensure every site is left clean and safe, giving homeowners peace of mind and a fully functioning sewer system. By partnering with municipalities, we make the process smooth, reliable, and cost-effective, helping protect homes and maintain healthy community sewer systems.
