Water Damage in Florissant: What We See Most
Florissant is one of the largest cities in North St. Louis County, with thousands of ranch homes built in the 1950s and 1960s. Many of those houses still have original cast-iron drain stacks, galvanized water lines and clay sewer laterals. When those pipes fail, the result is often a flooded basement, a slow leak inside a wall or a sewer backup through the floor drain.
Florissant is served by the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. During intense storms, overloaded sewers can push water back into basements, and homes near Coldwater Creek and its tributaries can see high water. If an MSD public sewer caused your backup, you may qualify for reimbursement if you report it within 30 days. See our guide to MSD sewer backup reimbursement.
We serve all of Florissant, including Old Town Florissant, neighborhoods near St. Ferdinand Park, and the areas along New Halls Ferry Road, Lindbergh Boulevard and Parker Road, as well as Hazelwood, Black Jack and Bridgeton.

Florissant Water Damage FAQs
Why does my Florissant basement get sewage after heavy rain?
During intense storms, public sewers can become overloaded and water follows the lowest path back into homes, usually a basement floor drain. Cracked or root-blocked clay laterals common in 1950s and 1960s homes can also cause backups. If MSD’s public sewer was the cause, report it to MSD at (314) 768-6260 within 30 days.
Should I replace old galvanized pipes after a leak?
Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside and often fail in more than one place once they start leaking. After we dry your home, it is worth having a licensed plumber evaluate the rest of the system. Replacing aging supply lines can prevent a larger water loss and may help with insurance renewals.
How long does sewage cleanup take in a Florissant basement?
Most sewage backups in a basement take three to five days to clean, disinfect and dry, depending on the size of the area and how much material must be removed. Carpet, pad and lower drywall touched by sewage are usually removed. Rebuild work, if needed, follows after the space is confirmed clean and dry.
