Colorado's trusted sewer line specialists. Camera diagnostics, trenchless sewer repair, pipe bursting, hydrojetting, and full excavated replacement — done right the first time, with the least disruption to your yard and life.
When something fails in your sewer line, you don't want estimates based on hunches. Every Everett Plumbing sewer call starts with a high-resolution sewer camera inspection so we can show you exactly what's happening underground — root intrusion, a sag (belly), separated joints, cracks, or a full collapse. You see the same footage we do, and the recommendation makes sense because the diagnosis is real.
Once we know the problem, we match the repair to it. Many sewer issues that used to mean tearing up the entire yard can now be fixed with trenchless sewer repair — either CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining or pipe bursting — preserving your landscaping, driveway, and sidewalks. When excavation is necessary, we permit, dig, replace, and restore the site cleanly.
From real-estate sewer scopes to emergency mainline backups to full sewer line replacement, we handle every type of residential sewer work across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Boulder, and the Front Range.
High-resolution video scope of your entire sewer line. We pinpoint the exact location, depth, and nature of any problem. Includes locator/depth readings and recorded footage you can keep for insurance or real estate documentation.
A new resin-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe and cured in place — forming a new pipe inside the old one. Minimal digging, 50-year warranty, restoration of full pipe diameter.
For pipes too damaged to line. We pull a new HDPE pipe through the old line while a bursting head fractures the old pipe outward. Same trenchless benefits, with a brand-new pipe rated for 100+ years.
4,000+ PSI water clears years of grease, scale, and root buildup from sewer lines. Restores full flow without harsh chemicals. Often recommended before camera inspection or as a maintenance service for older lines.
Mechanical root cutters paired with hydrojetting clear root masses. We identify entry points and recommend root-resistant repair options to keep them from coming back.
For fully collapsed lines, multiple breaks, or lines that need to be re-routed. We pull permits, excavate, replace with modern PVC or HDPE, backfill, and restore the site.
Pre-purchase sewer inspections for buyers, sellers, and agents. Affordable, quick (under 1 hour), and includes a written report with footage. The cheapest insurance against a $20K post-purchase surprise.
Need to know exactly where your sewer line runs? We use radio-frequency locators paired with camera inspection to map your line — useful for landscaping, additions, or planning utility work.
Sewage backing up into the home is a 24/7 emergency. We respond fast across the Front Range, clear the immediate blockage, and identify whether it's a one-time clog or a sign of a deeper issue.
Twenty years ago, fixing a broken sewer line meant excavating a deep trench across your yard, often through the driveway and sidewalk, with weeks of cleanup afterward. Today, trenchless sewer repair can solve most of the same problems with minimal digging — usually just two small access pits at the start and end of the line.
Trenchless sewer repair is a family of methods for repairing or replacing sewer lines without traditional open-trench excavation. The two primary techniques are:
Trenchless sewer repair costs in Colorado typically range from $4,000 to $20,000, depending on:
While trenchless costs more per linear foot than excavation, total project costs are often comparable or lower once you factor in landscape restoration, concrete replacement, and lost-time costs from full excavation.
Choose trenchless when:
Excavation may be necessary when:
A sewer camera inspection (also called a sewer scope) sends a high-resolution waterproof camera through your sewer line on a flexible push-cable, recording video as it travels. The technician watches a live feed and notes the location and severity of any issues found.
A sewer line repair after closing can cost $10,000-$25,000. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection costs $150-$300. We've seen homebuyers negotiate tens of thousands in repair credits or walk away from bad deals because of what our camera found. Schedule a real estate sewer scope.
Sewer trouble usually develops slowly. By the time you have a backup, the underlying issue has been brewing for months or years. Catch the early signs:
Colorado's combination of expansive clay soil, freeze-thaw cycles, mature trees, and homes ranging from 1900s clay pipes to modern PVC creates a unique mix of sewer issues. The most common causes we see:

If sewage is coming up through floor drains or showers, stop running water immediately and call 303-253-7246. We answer 24/7 and can usually be on-site within hours for active backups.
Sewer repair costs range from $250 for a simple drain clearing to $25,000+ for a full excavated replacement. Trenchless repair (CIPP lining) is typically $4,000-$15,000, and pipe bursting is $5,000-$20,000. We always provide a written quote after camera inspection — no surprise charges.
Trenchless sewer repair is a method for fixing or replacing sewer lines without major excavation. The two main types are CIPP lining (creating a new pipe inside the old one) and pipe bursting (pulling a new pipe through while breaking the old one). Both preserve landscaping and reduce repair time.
Trenchless sewer repairs typically last 50-100 years. CIPP liners come with 50-year manufacturer warranties; pipe bursting installs new HDPE pipe rated for a 100-year service life. This is comparable to or better than traditional excavated replacement.
Common signs include multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewer smells, wet spots in the yard, recurring backups even after drain cleaning, sinkholes, and sewage backing up indoors. A camera inspection confirms whether you have a sewer line problem and what kind.
Yes — a pre-purchase sewer camera inspection is highly recommended for any home in Colorado, especially homes built before 1980 or with mature trees. The inspection costs $150-$300 and can reveal problems that would cost tens of thousands to fix after closing.
Yes — tree roots are the most common cause of sewer line damage in Colorado. Roots seek out moisture and nutrients inside pipes, entering through cracks or joints. Once inside, they grow rapidly, eventually filling the pipe.
Trenchless sewer repair takes 1-2 days. Traditional excavation takes 2-5 days depending on length and depth. Most projects include 24-48 hours where water use must be limited.
Yes — most Colorado jurisdictions require permits for sewer repair and replacement, including most trenchless work. We pull all required permits and arrange inspections as part of the job.
Sewer line repair is typically not covered by standard homeowner's insurance. Some policies offer "service line coverage" as an add-on for under $50/year, which can cover sewer line repair and replacement. We can provide documentation and footage to help with any claim.
Schedule a sewer camera inspection — you'll know exactly what's happening underground before committing to any work.
