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.

Root-A-Way stands firmly behind their work.
