Sewer Line & Septic Plumbing in Pueblo, CO

Signs of trouble

Several drains slow at once, gurgling toilets, sewage smells indoors or in the yard, and a patch of grass that's greener or wetter than the rest. On septic, slow drains after heavy use or soggy ground over the drain field are common warnings.

Roots and old pipe

Older neighborhoods have clay or cast iron sewer lines, and trees planted decades ago have had time to send roots into the joints. Clearing the roots helps, but repairing the joints keeps them out.

Camera and locating

A sewer camera shows the inside of the line and how deep it is. That lets the plumber dig only where needed, which matters in yards with mature trees, driveways and landscaping.

Septic systems

A septic tank needs pumping on a regular schedule depending on its size and the household. Avoid grease, wipes and harsh chemicals, and never drive or park over the tank or drain field. A plumber can repair the pipes between the house and the tank.

Line repair and replacement

Short broken sections can be dug and replaced. Longer lines in poor shape may be replaced or, in some cases, lined from inside. The plumber explains the options and any permit needed.

Before you buy

A sewer camera or septic inspection before closing can reveal problems a standard home inspection doesn't cover. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.

Protecting the line

Keep grease, wipes and paper towels out of the drains, plant trees well away from the sewer or septic lines, and know where your cleanout is. A cleanout that's easy to reach saves time and money every time the line needs clearing.
