What Your St. Louis Neighbors Are Saying
Homeowners across St. Louis, Chesterfield, St. Charles, Ballwin, and beyond trust Academy Air for professional rooter service. Here’s what some of them have to say.
Tom Grace
a month agoI cannot recommend Demetrius Shaw and Academy highly enough. Demetrius came to provide our semi-annual HVAC maintenance. Demetrius was extremely professional, always wore shoe covers inside and took the time to identify issues outside the scope of his assigned tasks. Instead of just identifying them he took the time to explain them, the underlying issues, and to suggest corrective course of action. He provided transparent pricing before starting any work. Fast, honest, efficient and top notch service. Top marks across the board!
Katherine Lavely
2 months agoThe response time was good. They came out within 24 hours. The repair man was awesome. He told me step-by-step of what can occur and how much it would cost. So five stars thank you everyone and thank you for repairman
Samija Halilovic
2 months agoI unfortunately woke up on my birthday to a flooded lower level after our main sewer drain backed up. I called Academy Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric, and even on short notice they had someone out quickly for a very reasonable service call. I received an estimate at 10:42 and an update that our technician, Isaiah, was on his way by 12:08. Isaiah was professional, kind, and got right to work. He quickly diagnosed the issue, cleared the blockage, and thoroughly tested everything afterward by running water and flushing multiple times to make sure the problem was fully resolved. What really stood out was that he didn't just fix the issue and leave, he took the time to explain what caused the backup and gave my husband and me practical maintenance tips to help prevent it from happening again. We really appreciated how knowledgeable, patient, and helpful he was. No one wants to deal with a sewer backup, especially on their birthday, but Isaiah made a stressful situation so much easier. Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Bradly Gould
2 months agoGreat experience! Had a loud unit that needed service, I called on a Sunday and they had someone out the next afternoon. John came out and was awesome. He did a detailed assessment and went over all options with their pros and cons. He truly was helping us decide the best option based on our situation and not pressuring us into buying more than we needed. I appreciated his professional opinion without high pressure sales, he was truly on our side. Highly recommend and will continue to use them for maintenance and repairs in the future. Stop looking, this is your company.
Jesse Trousdale
2 months agoGreat experience! Joe Vetter is my hero! It was an easy fix thankfully, but he was so kind and knowledgeable and went above & beyond to explain and educate me on the system & plumbing in my new home. I truly appreciate his help and expertise. Couldn’t have asked for a better technician. Will definitely be sticking with Joe & Academy for future plumbing & HVAC needs!
Larry Petcu
5 months agoClayton did a great job in installing the various components of by home backup system to include backup breaker, Interlock kit, power inlets, charging panel outlet and electrical system grounding. Anthony and David returned to complete the "future" task of the project a few weeks later to add another RV type outlet to the power station charging branch to permit turbo charging. They also added a "Return to Grid Power" sensor to complete the system. They also moved an outside GFCI outlet as I was having a deck extension added to the screen room. Similarly to Clayton's work, Anthony was meticulous, knowledgeable and extremely mindful of minimal disturbance to the home. Anthony also used this complex project to educate and train David, his apprentice, on tasks that he may not have otherwise had the opportunity to encounter. I commend their work and recommend them for similar projects.
Layla Getwell
8 months agoI had a great experience working with Anthony Dietz. He took the time to explain everything in detail, educated me on the issue, and walked me through all of my options without any pressure. I really appreciated how clearly Anthony broke things down so I could make an informed, confident decision about what was best for my situation. It’s refreshing to work with someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely focused on helping rather than just selling a quick fix. I would absolutely recommend Anthony to anyone looking for an honest and professional electrician. Oh did I mention he was friendly? lol
Sir Fairley
8 months agoThis company is amazing!!! They came out and got the old units uninstalled and had the new ones in with a few hours. Extremely polite and professional. Walked us through how the new units worked and how to set them for optimal efficiency and performance. The two installation techs were a true blessing to me and my family. Thanks again Joe and Ryan for your time and help. And thank you Academy Air for your service.

WHEN DO YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL DRAIN SERVICES
Considerations and Recommendations For Professional Rooter Services by Academy Air
If any of the following are applicable to you and your home, you may want to consider enlisting our professionals for rooter services to ensure that your sewer line is flowing correctly:
Age of Your Home
The age of your home can be a major factor in if you should consider rooter services. If your home was built more than 50 years ago, you should consider rooter services, or at the very least, a sewer line camera inspection from Academy Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric.
Original Pipes
If your home still has its original plumbing pipes (particularly if the home is over 50 years old), it is highly recommended to schedule a rooter service right away.
Excess Foliage On Property
If you have a lot of foliage on your property such as trees, shrubs, bushes, or other larger plants, their roots are almost guaranteed to reach your sewer line eventually. In this case, you will want to have rooter services performed to ensure tree roots do not completely infiltrate your sewer line, potentially leading to a sewer line break, which can result in disastrous consequences.
Constant Back-Ups
Lastly, if you have consistent backups throughout your home’s plumbing system, your drains may require professional rooter services. If several of your toilets, sinks, and bathtub drains are constantly clogged, this is a major indication that your sewer line is in need of professional help from our crew.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Rooter Service
What Is A Rooter?
How Do I Prevent Clogged Drains?
Simple but effective ways to prevent clogged drains include using a strainer in bathroom drains to catch hair, avoid putting cooking oils and fats down your kitchen sink, and always have your drains properly maintained by a plumbing specialist. If your drains need to be cleared in the St. Louis, MO area, call the experts at Academy Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric today!
What Do Rooter Services Entail?
Rooter services typically entail snaking the drain as much as possible and using chemicals to clear any remaining debris and tree roots. However, as these chemicals can often be harmful to the environment, many plumbing experts utilize hydro-jetting methods to clear drains. Hydro-jetting forces water through the pipes using varying amounts of pressure to clear any additional debris in the pipes. Next, your plumber will use a rooter machine to break up the roots in the plumbing and flush them out. Call (314) 770-9800 if your home is in need of rooter services in St. Louis, MO.
What Happens When Roots Get Into My Sewer Line?
Roots are drawn towards the water, heat, and nutrients flowing through your sewer line pipes. Subsequently, materials like toilet tissue and other debris can get caught in the mass of tree roots and eventually become intertwined in your sewer line. Clay pipes are the most susceptible to root intrusion, followed by concrete pipes, and PVC pipes. If you think you may have tree roots in your sewer lines, never fear – call Academy Air Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric today!
What Do I Do If My Sewer Line Is Blocked?
If your sewer line is blocked, it is most likely due to an infiltration of tree roots and other debris in your pipes. The most appropriate way to handle a blocked sewer line is to call our certified plumbers at (314) 770-9800 immediately. Depending on how blocked your sewer line pipes are, your plumber may have to repair or even replace your sewer line. Fortunately, sewer line replacement is a relatively quick and easy process.
What Should I Expect To Pay For Sewer And Water Main Cleaning?
The price of sewer and water main cleaning will vastly vary depending on the extent of natural elements and how badly they have infiltrated your pipes. To get a quote on what it will cost to clean your sewer line, call (314) 770-9800 to have a certified plumber come out to your home and assess your pipes.
