How a sewer repair goes with us
- Camera first. We run an HD camera through the main line and locate the problem and its depth. If the line is fine, you hear that. The inspection fee is credited toward any repair you book.
- Written price before a shovel moves. Matt writes the number down. Spot repair, lining, or replacement, the estimate says which and why, and it is the number you approve.
- Dig one hole, not three. Because the camera marked the spot, we open the ground where the break is. Most residential replacements are done in 1–2 days.
- Camera again, then restore. The line is checked on video after the repair, the permit is closed out with the City of Colorado Springs, and the yard is put back.
What breaks sewer lines in Colorado Springs
Older neighborhoods in the Springs, especially homes built before 1980, often run on clay or cast iron laterals. Tree roots find the joints, small cracks become blockages, and a line that was snaked twice this year is a line that needs a camera, not a third snaking.
The ground does the rest. Dense clay and decomposed granite shift with moisture and freeze-thaw, which opens offsets and lets a run settle into a belly that holds water and waste. Those show up clearly on camera and are exactly the failures a spot repair or a lining fixes without replacing the whole line.
Repeated backups, slow drains throughout the house, sewage smell in the yard, or an unusually green strip of grass over the line are the signs to call on. Every hour a backup sits costs more to fix; Matt answers the phone Mon–Sat 8am–6pm and emergency calls are always welcome.
“Matt and his crew replaced our entire sewer line in one day. Professional, fast, and the yard looked better than before they started. Honest pricing and zero surprises.”
