Sewer Line Repair in Briargate, Colorado Springs, CO

Colorado Springs Utilities owns the main out in the street. The pipe from your house to that main, called the lateral, belongs to you. When it cracks or plugs, the repair is on the homeowner, even the stretch that runs under the sidewalk.

That surprises a lot of people the first time a basement floor drain backs up. The good news: most lateral problems are one bad section, not the whole run, and a clear look at the pipe tells you which one you've got.

North Colorado Springs sits on clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries. Over a few decades that movement can push a section of sewer pipe down into a belly. Water and paper settle in the low spot, and the line starts backing up every few months.

A belly doesn't always mean digging right away. Some can be managed with regular cleaning for years. Others have a cracked joint at the bottom that lets soil in. The footage tells us which.

We run a camera on a push cable through your cleanout and watch the whole line on a monitor. Roots, offset joints, sags and cracks all show up plainly. You're welcome to stand there and see it with us.

Our video sewer inspection is how every Briargate sewer line repair quote starts. No guessing from the driveway, and no price until we've seen the pipe.

The trees planted when these neighborhoods were new are big now. Ash, cottonwood and spruce along the greenbelts and backyards send fine roots into any gap at a joint, and once they're in, they grow into a mat.

A slow drain that comes back every spring is the classic sign. We can cut the roots with a snake or clear the line with a hydro jetter, and regular maintenance snaking keeps them back. How often depends on the pipe material, length, age and condition. If the same joint keeps letting roots in, fixing that joint usually wins over the long run.

One cracked joint or a short failed section gets dug up and repaired, and the rest of the line stays put. That's the most common kind of sewer pipe repair.

When the pipe is cracked or sagging along most of its length, patching it piece by piece stops making sense. That's when replacing the sewer line is the honest call, and we'll show you the footage that backs it up.

Briargate houses change hands often, with families moving in for the schools and military families on orders. A sewer scope before closing is cheap insurance against a surprise repair the first month you own the place.

Already have a scope report from another company with a big number attached? Ask us for a second look at that video before you agree to anything.

We don't post flat prices, because depth, length and what's in the way change every job. A plumber comes out, looks at the line and gives you the price before any work starts.

Sewer and water line repair and replacement are covered by our lowest price guarantee. Our coupons page lists the current offers. We take all major credit cards, checks and cash.

While we're out, we can handle the other things on the list. Running toilets, leaking supply lines, a water heater on its last legs. Our household plumbing repair work means one visit can cover more than the sewer line.

We keep it plain: here's what we found, here's what it costs, here's what can wait.

Our hours are Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, with weekends by appointment. We don't run a 24-hour emergency line. If the line backs up overnight, stop running water and call us during business hours.
