"I will never use another plumbing company!!! I have been using Culler Plumbing for several years now and have had nothing but great results! Dennis has always gone way above and beyond. I have a crawl space and my washer, drier and water heater plus my water softner are all in the same small room with no space to put pans under the water heater or water softner. And I have hardwood floors so whenever the water heater went out my floors would be ruined. He moved the water softner into my bedroom closet with a pan under it and put in a drain. Then was able to put a full size pan under my water heater and a drain which he hooked up to the plumbing under my crawl space. No more ruined floors!! Never had such a caring and expert plumber like him!! Thanks Dennis!!!"

Serving St. Louis since 1955.
"I hired Quality Waterproofing to extend a buried downspout/sump pump drain that was poorly placed by a competitor 4 years ago. The competitor placed the pop up drain 10 feet from the house in a low spot, which created a swamp. Quality did an A+ job fixing the problem. They were timely, professional and UNDER budget. Very honest and high quality work. They even did some extra sodding and dirt work at no charge."
