What Causes Sewer Line Damage in Colorado Springs?

Sewer lines in Colorado Springs face unique challenges due to local conditions:

  • Expansive clay soil that shifts and cracks pipes
  • Freeze-thaw cycles that weaken underground lines
  • Aging materials like clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg
  • Tree root intrusion in established neighborhoods

Understanding the cause helps determine the most effective repair solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re experiencing frequent backups, slow drains, or sewer odors, it’s best to schedule an inspection to confirm the issue.

Most repairs can be completed in one day, depending on the severity and method used.

Trenchless repair is less invasive and faster, but traditional repair may be necessary for severely damaged pipes.

The most common signs are slow drains across multiple fixtures at the same time, recurring backups that return shortly after being cleared, gurgling sounds from toilets or floor drains, sewage odors inside the house or in the yard, and patches of unusually green or fast-growing grass above the sewer line. Any one of these on its own could have a minor cause — several of them together, or any that keep coming back, are worth a camera inspection.

Trenchless pipe lining repairs are typically completed in one day — four to six hours for the inspection, cleaning, lining, and curing. Trenchless point repairs are faster, often done in two to three hours. Excavation and replacement jobs vary more widely depending on the length of the run and site conditions, but most residential replacement jobs are completed in one to two days.

Not always. Trenchless repair methods — pipe lining and pipe bursting — work from one or two small access points and leave the yard, driveway, and landscaping intact. Excavation is only necessary when a pipe has fully collapsed, severely bellied, or when the access conditions don’t allow for trenchless equipment. After the camera inspection, we’ll tell you which method applies to your line before any work starts.

We do our best to respond quickly to urgent sewer issues. Call us at (719) 375-8181 and we’ll discuss availability and get you on the schedule as fast as possible. For non-emergency repairs, we’ll schedule a camera inspection first and work from there.
