A damaged or failed sewer line can back up a whole house. Colorado Septic Pros excavates and repairs residential sewer lines. Excavation is the same kind of work we do regularly on septic installs.
Where Sewer Line Problems Show Up
The sewer line carries wastewater from your home. Problems with it can show up as backups, slow drains throughout the house, or soggy ground along the line's path. Because a failing septic system and a failing sewer line can look similar from inside the house, figuring out which one you have is the first step.
Digging Down to the Problem
Repairing a buried line starts with excavation. We expose the line, repair or replace the damaged section, and backfill the trench. Because we are an excavation and septic crew, we can handle the digging and the repair without handing you off between contractors.
Sewer and Septic Together
If your home is on a septic system, the sewer line runs between the house and the tank. When the line and the system both need work, it makes sense to look at them together so the repair solves the whole problem. See our septic repair and septic tank replacement pages for that side of the work.
Before We Arrive
If wastewater is backing up, cut back on water use until the problem is looked at: fewer loads of laundry, shorter showers, and no running the dishwasher. Keep people and pets away from any wet or soft spots in the yard. And please do not dig on your own to find the line. Buried utilities are a real hazard, and in Colorado you should always call 811 before any digging so underground utilities are marked first.
Why It Pays to Look Early
A small problem in a buried line rarely stays small. Water leaking from a damaged line can wash soil away from around the pipe and make the next repair bigger. Having the line looked at when you first notice a symptom usually gives you more options than waiting until the yard is soaked or the house is backing up.
