Drain Cleaning, Sewer Camera Inspection & Septic Service in Springfield, MO
A rented drain machine will punch through a clog and leave whatever caused it in the pipe. If nobody looks at the cause, you'll likely be calling again in six months. We clear the line and, when the job calls for it, run a camera and tell you what we found down there.

"Messina plumbing fixed our non-draining bathroom tub issue that no one could or did!! He is now our family's lifelong plumber and we will more than recommend his company for any services that he covers."

What we handle
- Slow or stopped drains, including kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and floor drains.
- Main sewer line backups, including the ugly ones where more than one fixture backs up at once.
- Camera inspections so you can see what's inside the pipe for yourself.
- Homes on septic, common outside the city limits, where drain problems can involve the tank or drain field.
- Repairs and replacement when the line itself has failed. If digging is involved, excavation is part of the same job. We run our backhoe with a licensed operator, so we dig up the line and fix it ourselves.
How to read your symptoms
Clogged Drains
One slow fixture is usually a local clog: grease in a kitchen line, hair in a tub or shower drain.
Main Drain Problems
Two or more fixtures backing up at once, gurgling toilets when the washing machine drains, or sewage smell in the yard point at the main line. Around here it's usually tree roots hunting for water, decades of grease, flushable wipes that never break down, or older lines that have sagged or cracked. The camera shows us which one it is. More on sewer line repair and replacement.
Sewer Backups
Sewage coming up through a floor drain, a tub or the lowest toilet means the main line or the septic system is backed up.

Septic Systems
Lots of homes outside the city limits around Strafford and the county run on septic, and we work on them. New systems are sized and permitted to the property; repairs depend on what failed.

From our drain and sewer jobs
“I contacted Messina Plumbing for drainage issues at my son's home. Joe came the next day and was extremely helpful in trying to figure out the problem. I just have to say that the world needs more people like Joe Messina. Thoughtful, caring and considerate only scratch the surface. Do not hesitate to do business with him. God blesses those who bless others. Thank you Joe.”
“They came out the day before Thanksgiving to fix broken pipes under our house, which could have been a very stressful situation, but they handled it quickly and professionally. Previously, they also helped us by clearing roots out of our septic system, and did a great job then as well.”
