Sewer Line Repair in Security-Widefield, CO, South of Colorado Springs, CO

Whether your street is on the Security district or Widefield's, the main under the road belongs to the district. The lateral from your foundation out to that main is usually yours. When it cracks or plugs, that's a homeowner repair, and it's most of what sewer line repair in Security-Widefield means for the people who call us.

Not sure where your line runs or how deep? A camera inspection of the lateral shows the route, the depth at each joint and exactly where it fails.

Security was built fast in the mid-1950s, and a lot of it went in with vitrified clay sewer pipe in short sections. Clay itself lasts. The joints don't. Every couple of feet there's a seam that can shift, separate or let in roots.

One bad joint is a spot repair. A run where every third joint is open is a different conversation, and replacing the sewer line often costs less over time than patching it piece by piece.

The soil on this side of the county swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries. Over decades, that movement pushes pipe out of grade. You end up with a belly, a low spot where water and waste sit instead of flowing.

A belly shows up as a drain that clears, then slows again a few weeks later. Snaking won't fix it for good. The camera finds it, and we repair that section back to proper slope.

Siberian elms got planted in a lot of these yards early on, and cottonwoods do fine anywhere near the creek. Both send roots hunting for water, and an old sewer joint is easy to find.

We cut roots out with a cable machine, and routine drain cleaning holds them back for a while. How often depends on the pipe material, the length of the run, its age and its condition. Heavy root mats or grease buildup may call for hydro jetting the line instead.

Houses here change hands a lot, often on a military timeline. Buyers scope the sewer line now, and an old clay lateral can turn into a surprise repair request a week before closing.

If you already have footage and a big quote from another company, send it over for a second opinion on the sewer scope. Sometimes the fix is smaller than the first number suggested. Sometimes it isn't, and we'll say that too.

Gurgling toilets when the washer drains. Water coming up in the basement floor drain. More than one fixture slowing at the same time. A soggy patch or a sewer smell in the front yard that has nothing to do with sprinklers.

Any of those points at the main line, not a single sink. Stop running water where you can and call us. If people are typing in sewer line repair near me with a floor drain overflowing, that's usually the moment the lateral has finally given up.

We don't quote sewer line repair in Security-Widefield over the phone. A plumber comes out, runs the camera from the cleanout and gives you a price for the fix before any work starts. You can watch the screen with us.

Sewer and water line repair and replacement are covered by our lowest price guarantee. Before you call, check our current coupons. We take all major credit cards, checks and cash.

While we're there, we can handle the rest of the house too. Leaky supply lines, a running toilet, a water heater on its way out: our plumbing repair crew covers that work on the same visit.

We work Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, with weekends by appointment. We're not a 24-hour emergency shop. If a line backs up on a Saturday night, keep water use to a minimum and call first thing Monday or ask about a weekend appointment.

Rather send a message than call? Use the form on this page. We'll get back to you during business hours with a time for the camera and the quote.
