Drain cleaning in Colorado

What causes drain problems in Colorado?

Colorado's semi-arid climate brings cold winters, sudden spring snowstorms and big temperature swings, especially along the Front Range. Freeze-thaw cycles stress shallow and exposed pipe.

Expansive soils, including bentonite clay, are a known issue along parts of the Front Range and can heave foundations and shift sewer lines.

Hard water in many areas speeds up scale. Older neighborhoods in Denver-area suburbs and mountain towns may have clay or cast-iron laterals, while newer subdivisions use plastic pipe.

Rapid growth has added many newer neighborhoods with plastic pipe, while older town centers still have cast-iron and clay lines. Long service runs on larger lots are common outside city centers.

Which drain problems are most common in Colorado?

• Mineral scale from hard water.
• Frozen or slow lines during cold snaps.
• Root intrusion in older laterals.
• Grease clogs in kitchen lines.
• Septic-related slow drains on rural properties.

When do drain problems peak in Colorado?

In Colorado, cold snaps can freeze drain lines in crawl spaces and exterior walls, and spring snowmelt can push water into cracked sewer pipe. Watching for early warning signs, such as slow drains, gurgling toilets or water rising in a tub when you flush, gives you time to schedule a visit before a full backup.

What can Colorado homeowners check before calling?

A few minutes of checking can save a visit or make it faster. Lift out pop-up stoppers and clear hair, plunge sinks and toilets with a good seal, and look for your sewer cleanout so the technician can find it quickly. Avoid renting a large drain machine for a main line, which can injure hands and arms or get stuck in the pipe.

What should you have ready when you call?

Before you call, note which drains are affected, whether water is backing up anywhere, roughly how old the home is and where the sewer cleanout is, if you know. Mention any chemical drain cleaner you've used and whether the home is on public sewer or a septic system.
