Camera diagnosis
We locate the break, belly, or root intrusion on video and show you exactly what we found. We locate the damage from above ground too, marking the spot and depth on the surface so the dig, if there is one, is as small as possible.

That can mean a spot repair, re-piping, or a trenchless fix where the line qualifies.
Phone lines are answered 24/7. Service is scheduled Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

What Colorado Springs does to its plumbing
Colorado Springs plumbing lives an outdoor life at 6,000 feet. The building code here assumes a 30-inch frost depth and winter design temperatures around zero, so a supply line run shallow or an uninsulated hose bib is a burst waiting for the right cold snap.
The ground moves too: the Colorado Geological Survey has mapped expansive, steeply dipping bedrock under parts of the city, the kind of soil movement that opens joints in buried sewer lines. Once a joint leaks, roots find it; the city's own forestry department notes that roots in a sewer line usually mean the line was already failing.
One thing you can stop worrying about is hard water: the utility's published numbers put the snowmelt supply around 2 grains per gallon, genuinely soft, so scale is rarely the villain here. And with almost 4 in 10 local homes built before 1980, a lot of this plumbing is working on its second or third owner.
Freeze and thaw works shallow drain lines loose over the years, opening joints that then invite roots and leaks.
Right tool, right diagnosis
What we handle
We match the repair to what is actually happening inside the system.
Explore Drain Repair company-wide.
Spot repair
Excavate and replace only the damaged section when the rest of the line is sound. Good spot repairs live or die at the connections: joining new pipe to fifty-year-old material takes transition couplings chosen for both materials, and that detail is where rushed repairs fail.
Trenchless options
Where the line qualifies, we repair with minimal digging instead of trenching the whole yard. Trenchless is a genuine option for most single cracks and root-damaged runs, but a collapsed or badly bellied line still needs to be dug and replaced.
Root removal
Cut the intrusion out and repair the entry point so it doesn't grow back into the line. Cutting roots without sealing the entry point is a subscription, not a repair; the roots come back for the same water that let them in.
Straight answers
What moves the price on drain repair
Drain repair pricing turns on how much pipe is damaged and how hard it is to reach, which is exactly what the camera tells us before you commit to anything.
Spot repair or section
One cracked joint under the lawn is a small dig. A line that is failing every few feet is a replacement conversation, and we will show you the footage that says which it is.
Depth and surface
A pipe three feet down in a flower bed costs less to reach than one under a driveway or a mature tree.
Trenchless eligibility
If the line qualifies, trenchless methods repair it through small access points instead of an open trench. It is not right for every pipe, and the camera pass is what decides.
Material of the existing line
Clay, cast iron, Orangeburg, and ABS each fail in their own way and connect to new pipe differently, which changes the work at the joints.

Steven and his team are fantastic. They are very patient in answering questions I had about my water heater issue and found the best solution for my home and family. Highly recommend this team for any plumbing needs you have!
I had elite rooter come out and look at my tankless water heater that was leaking and was working off and on. They responded within the hour... Kivahn and Steve were very polite and professional... They answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable and thorough. I would recommend them to anyone with a plumbing problem.
I called Elite to fix my water heater that decided to stop working. They were able to send someone out in less than an hour and fix the issue before I had to go to work.

Good questions, direct answers
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer drain repair near me in Colorado Springs, CO?
We do. Elite Rooter covers Colorado Springs, CO and the surrounding area from our office at 511 N Union Blvd. Colorado Springs CO 80909. Book online or call (719) 225-2990.
How do you know the drain needs repair instead of another cleaning?
A camera inspection shows the pipe's condition on video. If the line is intact, we clean it and you're done; if it's broken or bellied, you'll see it yourself before deciding anything.
Can I wait on a cracked drain line if it still drains?
Sometimes, briefly, but the crack is letting water into the soil around it, and moving water carries soil away. That is how a crack becomes a void, and a void becomes a sag or a collapse. The camera tells us how urgent yours actually is, and we will be straight with you about it.
Will you have to dig up my yard?
Not always. Where the line qualifies, trenchless repair works through small access points. When digging is the right call, marking the exact spot and depth first keeps the hole small.
