Altheim to Town and Country: what a name change means for your pipes
By 1886 this area was the farming community of Altheim. It became Town and Country as a village in 1950 and as a city in 1975. For plumbing, the practical lesson is that a town's age tells you little about a particular house. A lot that was once farmland can hold a house built in any decade, with additions and updates behind the walls.
We do not guess a pipe's age from a neighborhood's history. We trace the lines, camera the sewer when symptoms call for it, and tell you what is actually there. If you plan a remodel, ask us about older lines before you open floors.

Before We Arrive: Town and Country homes and long driveways
Some properties have longer drives and larger floor plans. A few steps help the emergency crew work fast.
- ✓Shut off the main water valveClose it fully. If you do not know where it is, look near the meter or where the line enters the house.
- ✓Turn off the water heaterSet gas to pilot, or flip the electric breaker, if the tank is leaking.
- ✓Kill power to wet areas only if safeOnly if the panel is dry and reachable. If outlets are wet, stay out.
- ✓Clear the wayOpen any gates, leave lights on and move cars so our truck can reach the house.
- ✓Call the 24/7 lineTell the dispatcher your street, the nearest landmark and your ZIP, 63017 or 63131.
Water heater replacement in larger houses
Larger homes can have more bathrooms, longer pipe runs and bigger hot water demand. A tank that served a smaller household may no longer keep up when everyone showers in the morning. When a unit fails, we size the replacement to the fixtures you actually use, not just to the old tank.
Our water heater replacement work includes removing the old unit, setting the new one, and connecting gas, venting or electric to code. If your system is newer, repair may be the better answer. We say which one when we see it.
Repair the sewer line or replace it
Sewage in the yard, roots in a camera picture or repeated clogs may all lead to this decision.
Spot repair or lining
- Fits a single break, a bad joint or a short root-damaged stretch
- Less digging and shorter disruption
- The camera must show the rest of the line is sound
- See sewer line repair for the options
Full replacement
- Fits a line that is collapsed or broken in many places
- More digging and restoration
- A longer-lasting result when the whole run is failing
- Often follows a sewer inspection camera pass
What affects pricing on a Town and Country job
We give a clear price before work starts. These factors change it.
Homeowners policies commonly cover sudden accidental damage but not wear or slow leaks, and sewer backup may need a separate endorsement. Ask your agent.

Neighbors, borders and nearby calls
Town and Country borders Chesterfield to the east along Route 141, and its neighbors include Des Peres and Frontenac. If a job spans the border, we cover both sides. Homeowners in nearby Creve Coeur and Ballwin call the same 24/7 line when a water heater fails or a lateral backs up.
Questions from Town and Country callers

Yes. The 24/7 emergency line is answered around the clock, and a plumber goes out the same day or after hours when a crew is available.
It does not directly. Altheim is the farming community this area was by 1886. A lot's history does not tell us the age of your pipes, so we inspect the lines.
About 5 miles east of Chesterfield. The actual drive depends on traffic on Route 141 and where you are in the city.
If the tank leaks, replace it. If it is a failed part on a sound tank, repair may be worth it. We tell you which is true after looking.
Yes. We camera the line, explain what we see, and quote a repair or replacement only if the camera supports it.
