Fixing Your Connection to the City Sewer Line
Your sewer tap is the critical connection between your home’s sewer line and the city’s main sewer system. When this connection fails, it can lead to serious drainage issues, backups, and costly damage if not addressed quickly.
At Dan’s Drains and Digs, we provide professional sewer tap repair services in Colorado Springs, ensuring your system flows properly and meets local requirements.
What Is a Sewer Tap?
A sewer tap is the point where your private sewer line connects to the municipal sewer main—often located near the street or property line.
Because this area connects two systems, it is especially vulnerable to:
- Ground movement
- Tree root intrusion
- Pipe misalignment
- Aging or deteriorating materials
When a sewer tap fails, it can affect your entire drainage system.
Signs You May Need Sewer Tap Repair
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, your sewer tap could be the problem:
- Recurring backups in multiple drains
- Slow drainage throughout the home
- Sewage odors near your yard or street
- Soggy or sunken areas near the connection point
- Frequent need for drain clearing

A professional inspection is the fastest way to determine whether the issue is in your main line or at the tap connection.
How We Diagnose Sewer Tap Problems
We start with a sewer video inspection to locate the exact issue and determine whether the problem is isolated to the tap or part of a larger sewer line failure.
Using advanced locating equipment, we can pinpoint:
- The exact depth and location of the tap
- Cracks, separations, or blockages
- Root intrusion at the connection point
Sewer Tap Repair Solutions
Depending on the condition of your sewer tap, we offer several repair options:
Targeted Sewer Tap Repair
If the issue is isolated, we can repair or replace only the damaged section at the tap connection.
Best for:
- Minor cracks or separations
- Localized root intrusion
- Partial pipe failure
Main Line Repair with Tap Connection
If the damage extends beyond the tap, a more comprehensive solution may be needed.
