Know the Warning Signs

Is Your Sewer Line Failing?

Sewer problems rarely appear overnight. These are the early warning signs Colorado Springs homeowners should watch for.

πŸͺ 

Multiple Drain Backups

When drains in multiple fixtures back up at the same time β€” toilets, tubs, and sinks β€” it's a strong indicator of a main sewer line problem, not an isolated clog.

🌿

Green Patches in Your Yard

Unusually lush or wet grass above your sewer line is often caused by a leak. Sewage acts as fertilizer, so the grass directly above the pipe may be greener than the rest of your lawn.

πŸ’¨

Sewage Odor Inside or Outside

A properly functioning sewer is airtight. If you smell sulfur or sewage in your yard, basement, or near floor drains, the pipe is cracked or has a broken seal somewhere in the line.

πŸ›

Rodent or Pest Activity

Rats and cockroaches can enter your home through cracks in sewer pipes. If you're seeing unexplained pest activity β€” especially near drains β€” a compromised sewer line may be the cause.

🌊

Foundation Cracks or Settling

A leaking sewer line beneath your foundation can erode the soil and cause settling, sinkholes, or cracks in your foundation or driveway.

⏱️

Slow Drains Throughout the House

When multiple fixtures drain slowly and plunging or snaking provides only temporary relief, you likely have a partial blockage or damage deep in the main line.

Our Sewer Services

From Diagnosis to Resolution

We use the right tool for your specific situation β€” no unnecessary upsells.

πŸ“·

Video Camera Inspection

We run a high-definition camera through your sewer line and record the footage so you can see exactly what's causing the problem. You get a copy of the video.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Sewer Line Locating

We electronically locate and mark your sewer line on your property β€” essential before excavation and useful if you're planning landscaping or construction.

πŸ› οΈ

Targeted Pipe Repair

When damage is isolated to one section, we excavate only that area and repair or replace that section β€” a far less costly alternative to full replacement.

🧡

Trenchless Pipe Lining (CIPP)

We insert a flexible, resin-coated liner into your existing pipe and cure it in place, creating a seamless new pipe inside the old one. No digging up your yard.

πŸ’£

Pipe Bursting

For pipes too deteriorated for lining, we use pipe bursting technology β€” pulling a new pipe through the old one while simultaneously fracturing and displacing the old pipe outward.

πŸ—οΈ

Full Sewer Replacement

When the entire line has failed, full replacement is the most reliable solution. We work with local permitting authorities and can handle the complete project from excavation to backfill.

The Smart Approach

Why We Always Start With a Camera Inspection

No two sewer problems are alike. Root intrusion, grease blockages, pipe collapse, and joint failures all present similar symptoms β€” but require completely different solutions. Without a camera inspection, you're guessing. And guessing with sewer lines is expensive.

At Apex, we run a camera inspection before recommending any significant sewer work. This lets us show you exactly what we found, recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution, and avoid unnecessary excavation. You'll know what you're paying for and why before we start.

Danny Reyes, Lead Plumber:

"I've been doing sewer line work for six years and I've seen jobs where the camera saved the homeowner $4,000 β€” because the 'full replacement' another plumber quoted turned out to be a single root ball we could clear in an hour."

Questions

Sewer Line FAQ

How do I know if my sewer line needs repair or replacement?
Signs include recurring drain backups in multiple fixtures, sewage odors in your yard or basement, soft wet spots or unusually green patches in your lawn, and slow drains throughout your home. A video camera inspection gives us a definitive answer β€” we can tell you if repair will hold, or if full replacement is the better long-term investment.
What is trenchless sewer repair and is it available in Colorado Springs?
Trenchless pipe lining (also called CIPP) repairs your existing sewer pipe from the inside without excavating your yard. We insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe and inflate it, creating a new pipe within the old one. It's available for most Colorado Springs homes and typically costs less than traditional excavation because it eliminates the cost of landscape restoration.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
A traditional sewer replacement takes 1–3 days depending on the length and depth of the line, soil conditions, and access. Trenchless repair is typically completed in a single day. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your free estimate.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover sewer line damage?
Standard homeowner's policies typically do not cover sewer line damage from normal aging, root intrusion, or collapse. However, some policies include sewer backup coverage as an add-on, and there are separate service line protection plans available. We can provide detailed documentation to support your claim if you have applicable coverage.
What causes sewer line problems in Colorado Springs homes?
The most common causes we see in Colorado Springs are tree root intrusion (especially from mature cottonwoods and pines), aging clay or cast iron pipes that crack or corrode, ground shifting from freeze-thaw cycles, and grease buildup in older homes. Many homes built before 1985 still have original clay pipes that are at or past their service life.
