Sewer Line Repair in Cimarron Hills, CO, East of Colorado Springs, CO

Cimarron Hills isn't on Colorado Springs Utilities sewer. Most homes here drain to mains run by the Cherokee Metropolitan District. The district handles its main. The lateral from your house out to it is yours.

So when the line backs up, the first question is where. A camera answers it fast. If the blockage is out past your property in the district's pipe, we'll tell you so you can call them instead of paying us.

Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often went in with clay tile or cast iron sewer pipe, and some with Orangeburg, a tar-paper pipe that flattens out with age. All three were normal for the time. None of them were meant to last this long.

Clay cracks and lets roots in at the joints. Cast iron scales up inside and rusts through at the bottom. Orangeburg goes oval and then collapses. Each one calls for a different fix, which is why we look before we quote.

If you live east of Powers, you know the Siberian elms. They seed into every fence line and alley, they grow fast, and their roots go straight for any leaking joint in a sewer lateral.

We cut roots out with a snake or jet the pipe clean, and scheduled sewer drain cleaning keeps them in check. How often depends on the pipe's material, length, age and condition. If the elm keeps coming back through the same crack, repairing that section usually costs less over time.

The ground out here is pretty flat, so many laterals were laid with just enough fall to work. Any settling at all can leave a low spot where water and waste sit. That's the line that clogs again three months after it was cleared.

A camera inspection of the line shows the belly and how deep it holds water. Then you can decide whether to keep it cleaned or get it fixed.

With Peterson Space Force Base right next door, a lot of Cimarron Hills houses turn over every summer when orders come through. A sewer scope before you buy, or before you list, keeps a lateral problem from blowing up a closing.

Got a scope report from another company and a big repair estimate? We'll review that footage and give you a second opinion on the scope before you commit.

A single cracked joint or short broken section gets excavated and repaired. The rest of the line stays as it is. That's the cheapest sewer pipe repair when the rest of the pipe is in decent shape.

Orangeburg that's collapsing, or clay that's cracked joint after joint, is another story. At that point a new sewer line is the smarter spend, and the video shows you why.

We don't post flat rates. A plumber looks at the line and quotes it before work starts. Sewer and water line repair and replacement are covered by our lowest price guarantee.

Check our current plumbing coupons before you call. We take all major credit cards, checks and cash.

Older houses usually have more than one thing going. Corroded supply lines, a tired water heater, a toilet that rocks on its flange. Our home plumbing repairs mean we can look at those on the same trip.

We'll tell you which ones need doing now and which can wait.

We work Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, with weekends by appointment. We don't offer 24-hour emergency service. If the line backs up at night, stop running water and call us during business hours.
