Sewer Problems We Help Homeowners Solve

Most homeowners first suspect a sewer problem when fixtures start acting up all at once. You may notice that every toilet in the house drains slowly, the bathtub fills with dirty water when you run the washing machine, or there is a persistent sewer smell you cannot track down. These are often signs that the main sewer line is restricted or damaged, not just a single clogged drain.

Other warning signs include recurring backups that return soon after basic snaking, standing water or unusually green patches in the yard, and gurgling or bubbling noises from toilets or floor drains. In older Pueblo neighborhoods, tree roots often invade clay or cast iron sewer pipe, and shifting soils can cause low spots that trap waste and paper. Left alone, these issues can worsen into complete blockages or pipe breaks that lead to interior damage and potential health concerns.

We respond to these calls with the urgency they require. Our plumbers handle the full range of residential sewer and water line work, from initial camera inspections to repairs and replacements. We operate seven days a week from early morning to evening, and we maintain 24 hour emergency availability for situations like active sewage backups or basement flooding that cannot wait.

What Trenchless Sewer Repair Is & When It Works

Trenchless sewer repair is a collection of methods for repairing or replacing underground sewer lines with less surface excavation than traditional dig and replace. Instead of opening a long trench across your yard, driveway, or landscaping, we typically work from a few access points to restore the inside of the existing pipe or pull a new line into place.

Every home and sewer system is different, so our first step is always a thorough evaluation. We use sewer camera inspections to see the inside of the line, locate problem areas, and understand the condition of the pipe material. In many Southern Colorado homes, we see issues such as root intrusion, small cracks, separated joints, and low spots that can often be addressed with trenchless techniques if the overall structure of the pipe is still intact enough to support the repair.

Trenchless options tend to be best suited to lines that are accessible from existing cleanouts or other connection points and that have not collapsed completely along their entire length. If the pipe is crushed or severely misaligned in multiple sections, traditional excavation may still be the safest and most reliable approach. During your inspection, our technician will walk you through what the camera shows, explain which options fit your situation, and outline the pros and cons of trenchless versus traditional methods so you can make an informed decision.

Pricing, Financing & Protecting Your Budget

Major sewer repairs are significant investments. Uncertainty about cost often causes homeowners to delay action, which can lead to more damage and higher bills later. We work to remove as much of that uncertainty as possible through clear pricing and flexible payment options.

We use a flat-rate pricing model, not hourly billing. After we inspect your sewer line and determine the best repair options, we present you with a clearly explained price before any work begins. That price accounts for the expected labor, materials, and equipment needed for the scope we have discussed. If the job takes longer than anticipated or presents access challenges we did not foresee, we still honor the price we quoted.

During your consultation, our technician can often outline more than one path forward. For example, they might describe the difference between a targeted repair and a full line replacement, along with the cost and long-term implications of each. We explain these options in everyday terms, not technical jargon, so that you can weigh benefits, risks, and budgets without feeling pressured into the highest ticket option.

We know that sewer failures rarely happen at convenient financial times. To help with that, we offer financing options for larger plumbing and HVAC projects, including sewer line work. Depending on the situation, this can allow you to spread payments over time instead of postponing a necessary repair until you can pay in full. When you call, our office can explain current financing programs and help you understand what might fit your circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know If Trenchless Sewer Repair Will Work For My Home?

The only way to know for sure is through a proper inspection of your sewer line. During our visit, we typically use a camera to look inside the pipe and evaluate its condition, layout, and access points. Trenchless approaches are often a good fit when the pipe is still structurally sound enough to support a lining or similar repair and when we can reach the line from existing cleanouts or limited excavation points. If the camera shows that the pipe is badly collapsed or broken in multiple areas, we explain that traditional excavation may be the more reliable solution. In every case, we review what we see on the camera and talk through which options make sense for your specific situation.

Will You Have To Dig Up My Whole Yard During Sewer Line Repairs?

In many trenchless projects, we do not need to dig a long trench across the entire yard. Instead, we work from access points such as cleanouts or from a few smaller excavation areas. That said, some digging is often still required to reach the line in the right places or to correct issues that cannot be addressed from inside the pipe. Before any work starts, we explain where we expect to dig, how we will protect nearby landscaping or hard surfaces as much as reasonably possible, and what the restoration will involve. Our goal is always to minimize disruption while still performing a repair that you can rely on.

How Long Does A Trenchless Sewer Repair Usually Take?

Most residential trenchless sewer repairs can be completed within one to two days once work begins, although the exact timing depends on factors such as line length, access, and what we find during preparation. During your inspection, our technician outlines the expected schedule for your specific project, including how long you may need to limit water use. Because our trucks are stocked with many of the tools and materials we need, we can often move from diagnosis to repair efficiently without multiple long delays. We keep you updated as the work progresses so you know what to expect at each stage.

How Much Will Trenchless Sewer Repair Cost & Can I Get Financing?

The cost of trenchless sewer repair varies based on the length and depth of the line, the condition of the existing pipe, and the type of repair method that is appropriate. After we perform a camera inspection and determine what is needed, we provide a flat-rate quote that covers the scope of work we have discussed. That quote will not increase if the job takes longer than we anticipated. For larger sewer projects, we also offer financing options that can help spread the cost over time. When you call or meet with our technician, we can review pricing, payment plans, and how different repair options fit your budget.

Can Your Technicians Come Out For A Sewer Emergency After Hours?

Yes, we maintain 24 hour emergency availability for sewer and plumbing situations that cannot wait until regular business hours. If you are dealing with active sewage backup, flooding, or a situation that threatens your home’s safety or structure, you can call us at any time. Our on-call technicians respond with urgency and work to stabilize the situation, such as clearing a blockage or shutting down affected systems, then plan follow-up repairs as needed. Clients have described some of our emergency responses as much faster than they expected, and we strive to keep that level of readiness for families throughout this region.

How Do You Make Sure The Plumbers At My Home Are Trustworthy?

We understand that inviting service professionals into your home requires a high level of trust. Every technician we send to your property has passed background checks and drug testing before hiring. We also invest in ongoing training so that our plumbers not only handle technical work correctly, but also communicate clearly and treat you and your property with respect. During visits, our team wears shoe covers, uses drop cloths, and follows conduct standards that reflect the care we would want if someone were working in our own homes. Many reviews mention feeling comfortable with our technicians, which tells us our approach is working.

What If The Repair Does Not Fix My Sewer Problem?

Our goal is always to diagnose the underlying cause of your sewer issue and recommend a solution that addresses it fully. That starts with careful inspection and clear communication about what we find. If a repair does not resolve the problem as expected, we return to investigate why. In documented situations where the chosen repair option did not correct the issue, we have provided full refunds covering both parts and labor. While every case is unique and we cannot guarantee the same outcome in all circumstances, this history reflects our commitment to fairness and standing behind the work we perform.
