From routine maintenance to emergency repairs, your Fenton plumbing team is ready to handle whatever your home needs. You don't have to worry about hidden fees or surprise charges. You see the price before any work starts, and we stand behind every job with our Neighborly Done Right Promise®. Whether it's a faucet repair or finding a hidden leak, we'll get it done right.
Drain Cleaning and Clogged Drain Solutions
When a drain slows down or backs up, it's usually more than just a surface clog. Hard water deposits, soap scum, grease buildup, and even tree roots growing into older sewer lines can all restrict flow. When we arrive, we listen for gurgling sounds and check whether multiple fixtures are affected, because that tells us whether the issue is in a branch drain or your main line. If you hear a toilet bubble when the shower drains, or water backs up in a basement floor drain when you run the washing machine, that points to a restriction downstream in the main line. We use camera inspections to confirm the exact cause and location so the fix addresses the real problem, not just the symptom.
You get professional drain cleaning using methods like HydroScrub® Jetting, which clears buildup without damaging your pipes. If the problem runs deeper (like a belly in the line or root intrusion), we use video camera inspections to show you exactly what's going on and recommend the right fix.
Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Hard water is tough on water heaters. Mineral sediment settles at the bottom of the tank, forcing your heater to work harder and reducing its efficiency. You might notice it takes longer to get hot water, or that you run out faster than you used to. Our plumbers inspect, flush, and repair traditional tank water heaters. We also install tankless systems that give you hot water on demand without the standby energy loss of a storage tank. You get honest recommendations based on your household's needs, not a sales pitch.
In the St. Louis area's hard water environment, a traditional tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years with regular maintenance, but sediment buildup can cut a third of its lifespan if the tank is never flushed. If your water heater is approaching 10 years old and you're noticing longer recovery times or rusty water, replacement is usually the smarter investment than a major repair. We'll walk you through the math so you can decide based on how much life is left in the unit, not just the cost of the fix.
Sewer Line Repair and Pipe Relining
If you're dealing with frequent backups, slow drains throughout the house, or soggy spots in your yard, it may be a sewer line issue. Older clay or cast-iron sewer laterals can crack, collapse, or be invaded by tree roots looking for water. We use trenchless pipe lining and relining methods when possible, allowing us to fix your sewer line from the inside without tearing up your driveway or landscaping.
Emergency Plumbing Services
Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. When a pipe bursts, your water heater leaks, or your sewer backs up, you need help now, not a service window two days from now. Luckily, your Mr. Rooter Plumbing team is here to help. You call, a real person answers, and we get a licensed plumber to your home as soon as possible. Our trucks are stocked with common repair parts, drain and plumbing cameras, and professional-grade equipment, so we can quickly diagnose and mitigate damage. We can often complete the repair on the first visit without a return trip. Whether it's a routine maintenance appointment or emergency repair, you get the same upfront pricing and quality workmanship.
Leak Detection and Water Line Repair
Not all leaks are as obvious as a faucet drip. Sometimes it's a spike in your water bill, the sound of water running when everything's off, or you see a damp spot on the ceiling or wall. We use specialized leak detection equipment to locate hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, and in your yard without unnecessary demolition. Once we find it, we repair or replace the damaged section so you're not wasting water or risking structural damage to your home.
Pipe Replacement and Repiping
If your home still has original galvanized pipes or you're dealing with repeated leaks, it may be time to repipe. Corroded pipes don't just reduce water pressure. They can affect your water quality, cause leaks, and lead to costly water damage. We handle partial repiping for problem areas and whole-home repiping when needed, using durable materials like PEX or copper that give you decades of reliable service.
Frozen Pipe Prevention and Repair
Missouri winters can be hard on plumbing, especially during cold snaps. We can help protect vulnerable pipes with insulation and heat tape, and if a pipe does freeze, we respond quickly to thaw it safely and repair any damage. You don't want to use a torch or space heater on a frozen pipe. That's a fire risk and can make the problem worse. Let our licensed plumbers handle it the right way.
Fixture Installation and Repair
Whether you're updating a bathroom, replacing a leaky faucet, installing a new toilet, or adding a garbage disposal, your local plumbing team makes the process straightforward. You get clean installations, no mess left behind, and plumbing fixtures that work as intended from day one.
Sump Pump Services
If your home has a basement or crawl space that's prone to water intrusion, a working sump pump is essential. We install, repair, and maintain sump pumps so you don't have to worry about your home or property flooding during heavy rains or spring thaws.

We don't just clear the roots out and leave. We show you the video footage, explain what's wrong, and provide options that range from spot repair to full line replacement. This way, you can choose what makes sense for your situation and budget. That's how upfront pricing and honest communication work together to benefit you.
