Sewer cleaning
Clear the main line with snaking or hydro jetting, matched to what the camera shows. Emergency backups get cleared first and diagnosed second; nobody makes good decisions with sewage in the tub.

Local conditions
What Denver does to its plumbing
Denver metro plumbing contends with two things above all: cold and clay. NOAA counts around 105 freeze-thaw cycles a year here, and Denver's code sets the frost line at 36 inches, so anything shallow, from hose bibs to sprinkler feeds, takes a beating every winter.
Under the surface, the Front Range's bentonite clays swell hard enough that the Colorado Geological Survey lists pipeline and sewer disruption among their standard damage, right alongside cracked foundations.
Add housing stock where roughly half of Denver's homes predate 1980, with clay tile and early cast iron laterals common in older neighborhoods like Park Hill and Congress Park, and root intrusion stops being a surprise: the city's own wastewater FAQ notes roots will penetrate the smallest crack looking for moisture.
The service line from your house to the main is yours, not the city's, which is why a camera look is worth so much here before anyone digs.
Expansive clay moves sewer lines a fraction of an inch at a time, and after enough seasons the joints no longer line up the way the installer left them.
Right tool, right diagnosis
What we handle
We match the repair to what is actually happening inside the system.
Explore Sewer Line Service company-wide.
Camera diagnosis
HD video shows breaks, bellies, offsets, and root intrusion. You see it before you approve anything. Sewer footage is where honest and dishonest plumbing part ways, so the recording is yours either way and you are welcome to a second opinion on it.
Sewer repair
Spot repairs and section replacement, excavated or trenchless where the line qualifies. Where digging is required we keep it surgical: locate, mark depth, cut the smallest hole that does the job, and put the surface back.
Tree-root removal
Cut roots out and fix the entry point so they don't come back. Roots in a sewer are a symptom of an opening; we clear them and then talk about sealing the way in, because clearing alone means a return appointment.
Straight answers
What moves the price on sewer line service
Sewer work has the widest price range in plumbing because 'sewer problem' covers everything from a quick main-line clearing to replacing the run to the street, and the camera sorts out which one you have.
Clearing, repair, or replacement
Most sewer calls end at a clearing. Repairs price by how much pipe is damaged; replacement prices by length, depth, and what sits on top of the line.
Depth and obstacles
Sewer lines run deeper than drain branches. A line under grass is one job; under a driveway, retaining wall, or city sidewalk is another.
Trenchless eligibility
Pipe bursting and lining can replace or repair a qualifying line through two access pits instead of a full trench. The camera pass decides eligibility.
Where your responsibility ends
Homeowners typically own the lateral to the city connection. We locate the failure first, because a problem on the city's side is their bill, not yours.

Good questions, direct answers
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer sewer line service near me in Denver, CO?
We do. Elite Rooter covers Denver, CO and the surrounding area from our office at 3656 W 72nd Ave. Westminster CO, 80030. Book online or call (720) 460-9944.
Do I have to dig up the yard to fix a sewer line?
Not always. Where the pipe's condition allows, trenchless repair fixes the line through small access points. The camera inspection tells us if your line qualifies.
Why does my sewer line keep clogging?
The usual culprits are tree roots, grease buildup, or a bellied section that collects debris. A camera inspection identifies which one so the fix targets the cause rather than the symptom.
Who is responsible for the sewer line, me or the city?
In most of our markets the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to the connection point, and the city owns the main. The camera and locator establish where the failure sits before anyone spends money on the wrong side of that line.
How do I know if a backup is my line or the city main?
A useful rule: if only your house is backing up, it is probably your lateral. If neighbors have trouble at the same time, call the city first. We can confirm either way with a camera before any work starts.
How fast can you get to Denver?
Service is scheduled during business hours (Mon-Fri 6am-6pm, Sat 7am-4pm). Phones are answered around the clock at (720) 460-9944, and the local team confirms the next available appointment when you call.
