The full scope,
one contractor.
Herculaneum is a river-town community in north Jefferson County with a mix of residential and industrial work — aging utility infrastructure here sees regular excavation and repair demand. We don't sub the work out — the same crew that quotes the job does the work.
New water service lines and sewer laterals installed — trenching, tap-ins, and tie-ins to the main. Licensed drain layer, MSD approved for the work that requires it.
Lateral repair, full replacement, and tie-in work. We dig it, fix it, and restore the surface — one crew, full scope.
Emergency response for active water main breaks. We locate, expose, and repair — with shutoff and restoration coordinated with the responsible utility.
Sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the problem before we dig. We don't guess at repair scope — we confirm it.
We use our hydrovac to expose sewer and water lines safely, using controlled excavation around the identified utility.
Approved for MSD-covered sewer work throughout the service area. Licensed drain layer for water service installation and repair.
Active breaks don't wait. Call (636) 331-5757 any time — we maintain emergency dispatch around the clock.
Local conditions,
local expertise.
Herculaneum has a strong industrial heritage along the Mississippi River that left older utility infrastructure and variable ground conditions across the area. Residential neighborhoods on the bluff side encounter rock relatively quickly; river-bottom areas carry soft alluvial fill that behaves very differently. Sewer and water infrastructure in the older neighborhoods is consistently at or past end-of-life, and ground near the waterfront can present unexpected subsurface conditions for any excavation work.
Our process
in Herculaneum, MO.
We run a sewer camera before any digging. We confirm location, extent, and nature of the failure before committing to a repair method. No scope surprises once the ground is open.
Our hydrovac uses water and vacuum to expose the area around the failed line. We preserve adjacent utilities and reduce collateral damage compared to conventional bucket excavation near active lines.
We repair the section, replace the run, or execute the tie-in — whatever the confirmed scope requires. We work with your plumber or handle the full scope directly under one contract.
Structural backfill placed in lifts and compacted. Surface restoration to match what was there — asphalt patch, concrete, or topsoil and seed. We leave it the way we found it.

Do you run camera inspection before digging?
For sewer repairs, camera footage can help define the affected section before excavation. Send any existing report. We review whether further inspection is needed and explain the proposed repair scope and any unknown conditions.
What's the difference between sewer repair and full line replacement?
Repair addresses a localized failure — root intrusion, a joint offset, a cracked section. Replacement involves removing and re-running a full pipe run, typically when the line has deteriorated beyond point repair or the slope is incorrect. Camera inspection tells us which approach is appropriate before we quote.
