Sewer Line Repair in Florissant, CO, West of Colorado Springs, CO

On a lot of Florissant properties the tank sits well away from the house, sometimes down a slope, sometimes across the driveway. A longer line has more joints, more chances for a low spot and more pipe to inspect when something goes wrong.

That's why we start with a sewer line camera inspection from the cleanout all the way to the tank inlet. If the pipe is clean and sound, the trouble is in the tank or field, and we'll say so.

Drive south on County Road 1 past the Fossil Beds and you're on the same old lake-bed ground that buried those petrified redwood stumps. Some of it is fine, silty soil that stays soggy in spring runoff. A few miles away, it's granite gravel and rock.

Wet, soft ground lets pipe settle unevenly. Rocky ground cracks pipe that was bedded poorly. Either way, knowing which one we're digging in before the excavator shows up keeps the job shorter and the trench smaller.

Plenty of homes around Florissant started as a small cabin and grew. A bedroom here, a garage apartment there, each one tied into whatever pipe was already in the ground. We see PVC joined to ABS joined to old clay or cast iron, all on one line.

The transitions between materials are where things go wrong. A bad coupling or a mismatched joint lets roots in or drops a section out of line. We find that spot and fix that spot.

Ponderosa and aspen roots go a long way looking for water, and a sewer line is a reliable source. They work into a joint, then fill the pipe until it barely drains.

We can cut them out with a snake or hydro jet the line clean. Routine drain cleaning holds them off, and how often you need it depends on the pipe material, length, age and condition. When one joint keeps failing, repairing it is usually cheaper over time.

We do our own excavation. When a section is crushed or broken, we dig to it, replace it and backfill. Locating the failure first means opening one spot, not the whole yard.

When the line is failing along most of its length, a full sewer line replacement is the better money. The footage makes that call, and you'll see it before we quote it.

Short-term rentals and guest cabins put a different kind of load on a line. Lots of people, lots of showers, and sometimes things flushed that never should be. A clog in July with a full house is the worst time to find out the line has a problem.

A quick scope between seasons shows whether the line is clean and holding grade. If someone else already scoped it and quoted a big repair, we'll give that video a second opinion.

We don't publish flat prices. Depth, rock, slope and the length of the run all change the job, so a plumber looks at it and gives you the price before any work starts.
