Sewer and drain service in Staunton, IL
Staunton checks its own main first. If the blockage turns out to sit between the main and your house, that stretch comes back to you, and it’s what we clear.
Staunton’s first step costs nothing
The city’s Public Works page asks residents with a backup to call city hall at (618) 635-2233 before a plumber, from 8:00 to 4:30. The city checks whether the trouble is in its main and repairs it if so. Make that call first.
A blockage between the main and the house is the resident’s to clear, and the page says to get a plumber for it. Illinois law leaves you a choice there. Building sewers aren’t part of plumbing, and licensed plumbers may still work on them. Main drain cleaning is our trade, so we’re a fair call for that stretch.
A 1950 median in a town of 4,307
The median Staunton house dates to 1950, for 4,307 residents. Williamson, 2.4 miles away, reads 1946, and Sawyerville, 4.9 miles away, reads 1976. Half of Staunton’s houses are older than 1950, so clay with mortared joints is a real possibility, and Orangeburg is another. A camera run tells you which, and you keep the video.

Staunton: sewer and drain questions
Who do I call first for a sewer backup in Staunton, IL?
Call city hall at (618) 635-2233, between 8:00 and 4:30. The city asks for that before you bring anyone in, because it checks whether the problem is in its main and repairs it if it is. If the main is clear, the line to your house is the next place to look.
Who pays to clear a blocked sewer line in Staunton, Illinois?
You do, when the blockage sits between the city’s main and your house. The Public Works page leaves that stretch to the resident. Trouble in the main itself is the city’s to repair, so have city hall check at (618) 635-2233 before you hire anyone for the job.
Can a sewer company clear my line in Staunton, IL instead of a plumber?
Yes. The city’s page mentions a plumber, but Illinois law doesn’t count building sewers as plumbing, so that stretch isn’t limited to plumbers. They’re allowed to do it, and so are we. Call (618) 740-6058. An automated line takes your details, and a company representative calls back as soon as possible.
What is happening with the sewer force main in Staunton, IL?
The city’s home page flags a sanitary force main and pump station rehabilitation, and we haven’t read the project details beyond that. Public Works at 914 N Easton St, (618) 635-2646, is the office to ask. Your own line between the main and the house is a separate matter.
