About

A sewer crew, not a plumbing company

Dig N Drain is locally owned and operated out of Granite City. We clean, inspect, repair, replace and dig the lines that carry everything out of a building, and we leave faucets and water heaters to the plumbers.

Why every job starts with a camera

A sewer lateral is buried, so any company that quotes a repair without looking inside it is guessing. Every one of our jobs starts with a camera run from the clean-out. You watch the monitor with us, we mark the problem on the ground, and the photos and video are yours to keep.

That habit shapes everything else. It is why we can say “jet it and leave it” on a sound line, why a single bad joint gets a spot repair instead of a new sewer, and why our digs are short trenches over the right spot instead of the whole yard.

What we do, and what we don’t

Our work starts where the plumber’s ends: main drain cleaning, hydro jetting, camera inspections with photo documentation, spot repairs, full replacements, trenchless lining, new sewer lines and clean-outs, backwater valves, downspout drains, and the excavation behind all of it. Emergencies are answered 24 hours a day.

We do not repair faucets, toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, water heaters or garbage disposals, and we do not fish a toy out of a single clogged drain. When your call is one of those, we say so and point you to a plumber.

Who hires us

Mostly homeowners in St. Clair and Madison counties with a backup, a slow house, or a wet patch of lawn over the line. Real estate companies, for sewer scopes before a sale. Carwashes and commercial kitchens, for jetting lines that grease and grit close up.

They did a sewer job for us at our home and couldn't be happier. Fast, friendly and affordable. They took care of handling all the necessary permits and conversions with the city prior to, during and after repair.

Questions about Dig N Drain

Who owns Dig N Drain?

Brandon Moerlien, the owner and drain professional our customers name in their reviews. Jason Moerlien supervises the crew in the field, Samantha Stein handles customer service and billing, and Cameron Moerlien works the crew as a laborer. The company is Dig N Drain LLC, based in Granite City, Illinois.

Is Dig N Drain a plumber?

No, and we say so. We do not repair faucets, toilets, water heaters or garbage disposals; a plumber is the right call for those. We work on the drain and sewer lines that carry everything out of the house: cleaning, jetting, camera inspections, repairs, replacements and the excavation behind them.

Does Dig N Drain do commercial work?

Yes. A carwash operator has subcontracted us to jet its drain lines several times, a real estate company uses us for all of its sewer inspections and repairs, and we jet restaurant and commercial kitchen lines and install backwater valves for retail, office and multi-unit buildings.

What does Dig N Drain promise its customers?

Five things: to show up when we say we will, to explain the work in plain and honest terms, to recommend solutions that make sense rather than upsells, to leave the property cleaner than we found it, and to stand behind the work every step of the way.
