Sewer people since 1999
One trade, out of Granite City. If it’s a faucet you want a plumber, and we’ll be the first to tell you.
What we do all day
Gateway Sewer and Drain clears, inspects, repairs, replaces and installs the pipe that carries everything out of a building. Main lines, jetting, camera work, digging, trenchless repair, backwater valves, and the downspout drains that run out into the yard. That’s the list, and it has been our line of work since 1999.
What we leave alone
Faucets, toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, water heaters, small leaks and garbage disposals. Those jobs call for a plumber, and we’d rather hand you to one than pretend otherwise.
What you can hold us to
- Our phone answers day and night. An automated line takes the details and a company representative calls you back as soon as possible.
- Camera footage of your line is yours to keep, photo and video.
- No trenchless job gets quoted before a camera has been down the pipe.
- Every town on our list is in Illinois and within 30 miles of Granite City: 77 of them.
Answers
About the company
Is Gateway Sewer and Drain a plumbing company?
No. We are a sewer and drain company, and that is by choice. We have worked underground in the Metro East since 1999 and we send fixture work to plumbers. If your problem is a faucet or a water heater, we will tell you that on the first call.
Where is Gateway Sewer and Drain based?
We are based in Granite City, Illinois, and we come to you. There is no shop to visit, so every job starts with a call to (618) 740-6058 or the form on this site. Our work runs out 30 miles from Granite City, on the Illinois side.
Why do you not do plumbing as well?
Because the pipe outside your foundation is a different job with different tools. Illinois law treats it differently too, and says building sewers are not plumbing. Doing one thing since 1999 means the person who calls you back talks about your line, and nothing else.
What do I get from a sewer camera inspection with you?
You get the photo and video of your line to keep. That footage shows where the trouble is and what kind it is, whether roots, a break, a sag or old pipe. You can hold on to it, or show it to anyone else you are asking for a price.
