Our Story

Root-A-Way LLC has been a trusted name in plumbing since 1967, proudly serving Ballwin, MO, and surrounding communities including Eureka, Chesterfield, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, and the greater St. Louis County area.

Current owner Steve Wilson has been part of Root-A-Way nearly his entire life. He began helping his parents with the business at just 14 years old, gaining hands-on experience that would shape more than 40 years in the plumbing industry.

Kudos to Root-a-Way! Steve did an excellent job in unclogging my kitchen drain! Very skilled and knowledgeable in his trade! He was quick and efficient! The company is also very reasonable in their fees. I have them on my speed dial Testimonial written by David D on this site.

On 11/18/2025 Stephen M. had this to say:
We were not in a good place after a sewer line blockage had our basement drain belching up all kinds of unspeakable things. Another company we called wasn't able to work us in, but they recommended Steve, and said he was experienced, honest, and fair. That was exactly the case! He worked us in quickly, fixed our sewage blockage in less than an hour, didn't throw a lot of extra things in to boost the cost, and charged a VERY reasonable price. Very friendly and explained everything he was doing so that I...a new, first-time homebuyer...could learn more about our house's system. With an older house in the city--there are a lot of quirks! Steve wasn't deterred. We would 100% call him again and will recommend him to friends and neighbors.
