What the scorecard measures

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with other drain cleaners in the St. Louis area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from thousands of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What shapes drain cleaning prices in St. Louis (2026)

No prices are published here. Drain quotes tend to depend on where the clog sits, whether cabling or hydro jetting is used, whether a camera inspection is needed, and whether the call comes after hours. Ask each company to name the method and the full price before work begins, and whether a first visit can be credited toward a larger service.

Questions to ask a drain cleaner before the visit
