Highly recommend St Louis Excavation, did a great job on a fix for us.
We appreciate you, Scott. Thank you for trusting us with your repair.
Mike and St. Louis Excavation are my #1 go-to for sewer repair recommendation in the St. Louis, MO and IL metro area. Commercial, residential, 100+ year old homes, or new construction. They do it all and their work is superior. Outside of being dependable, professional, and timely, Mike Petzold is one of the most hard-working, honest, and kind-hearted contractors I've had the pleasure of working with. Could not recommend more.
Thank you for such an incredible review. We love Mike and we love what we do! We appreciate the trust in us and the incredible recommendation.
I work with sewer issues on a daily basis and they are a challenge with timeliness and professionalism when solving a repair. St. Louis Excavation is the gold standard for helping me solve these issues. Mike and his staff are super professional and honest. Mike shoots you straight with no BS and his pricing is reasonable. I recommend this company for all your sewer related needs.
This speaks to our hearts! We strive to be the gold standard and to hear you share those words about our effort is an incredible feeling. Thank you so much.
Mike is the guy you want if you need sewer work. I’ve been in the building trades for 25 years and this might be the most honest company I’ve ever worked with. Wish I knew about them sooner. Rare to find someone that takes joy in SAVING YOU MONEY instead of just taking as much as they can. Hope these guys are around for a long time so I can recommend them to anyone and everyone.
We hope to be around a long time too! Thank you so much for the kind words. We do love our Mike!

Mike and his crew did an excellent job! They went above and beyond what was expected and pulled off a couple of magic tricks to get this job done fast! I won't use anyone else.
Thank you, Chris! We appreciate the fantastic review and trusting us to pull off some magic tricks. Our pleasure.
