Sewer line repair with camera-first diagnosis. The $19 consultation is credited to your repair.
A failing sewer line often starts as a slow drain that's easy to dismiss as normal buildup, then becomes a recurring issue, and eventually causes a backup or basement sewage event. Catching the problem early is significantly less expensive and disruptive than emergency response after a failure.
Sewer line repair starts with a camera inspection. A waterproof self-leveling camera travels the length of the line from the cleanout to the city connection, displaying live video on a monitor. Cracks, offset joints, root intrusion, pipe bellies, partial collapses, corrosion, and foreign objects are all visible. The homeowner reviews the footage before any repair option is discussed.
Once the diagnostic is complete, the appropriate repair method depends on what the camera reveals. A localized defect in an otherwise sound line is typically addressed with a spot repair. A line with multiple defects but a structurally intact path may be a candidate for trenchless pipe bursting or CIPP lining. A collapsed line, or one too shallow for trenchless equipment, requires open-cut replacement.
All sewer main work in Denver-metro cities requires city permits and inspections. Utility locates are called in before any excavation. Post-repair camera verification confirms the work was successful, and the video is provided to the homeowner.
If you're experiencing any of these in your Arvada home, contact us to schedule a $19 camera-first consultation.

We work with homeowners across the Arvada, CO area, including these neighborhoods:
The sewer camera inspection determines this. Spot repairs are typically appropriate for localized cracks, minor root intrusion, or a single broken joint. Full replacement is generally needed when the line has multiple failures, is badly corroded, or has multiple offset joints. The camera footage is reviewed with the homeowner before any recommendation is made.
Yes — trenchless pipe bursting and CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining are available where the existing line's condition supports them. Trenchless methods avoid extensive excavation and the associated landscape and driveway restoration costs. The camera inspection determines whether the line is a good trenchless candidate.
Standard homeowners policies typically exclude gradual wear-and-tear failures like corroded pipes and root intrusion. Some policies have an optional 'service line' or 'water/sewer backup' endorsement that does cover sewer line repair. Check with your insurance agent for specifics, and request a written diagnostic report you can submit with any claim.
Modern sewer repair is targeted to the damaged section. The camera inspection identifies the exact location. For spot repairs, only a small area needs to be excavated. For trenchless replacement, two access pits at each end of the line are required, leaving the rest of the yard untouched.
The $19 consultation covers the phone triage and is credited toward any sewer repair you choose to move forward with. It's not a free estimate — it's a small fee that gets you onto the priority dispatch list and reflects the cost of providing real diagnostic time.
