Sewer Scope Colorado Springs

Sewer Scope Services in Denver, Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, and Surrounding Areas

 

Thinking about a sewer scope in the Colorado area? If you're in Denver, Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, or nearby neighborhoods, getting your sewer line checked might be one of the smartest things you do this year. For homeowners, property investors, and business owners, spotting sewer problems before they get out of hand can save thousands of dollars—and plenty of headaches.

​

What Is a Sewer Scope and Why Should You Care?

 

A sewer scope is a straightforward process where a technician runs a small, high-definition camera—often called a plumbing camera or drain camera—through your sewer line. The goal? To check the condition of your pipes from the inside and catch any issues early.

​

It’s a non-invasive way to:

​

  • - Detect root intrusions from nearby trees

  • - Catch clogs or backups before they get worse

  • - Spot cracks, corrosion, or sagging in your pipes

  • - Understand what kind of pipe material you have (and how it’s holding up)

 

And here in Colorado, with our shifting soil and dramatic temperature swings, that peace of mind is worth every penny.

 

Colorado Plumbing: What Makes It Unique

 

Homes in this region deal with more than just aging pipes. We’ve got expansive clay soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and fast-growing tree roots—all of which can spell trouble for underground lines.

​

Here are a few numbers to keep in mind:
 

  • - Roughly 20% of Colorado homes built before 1980 still rely on clay or cast iron  sewer lines.

  • - Replacing a sewer line can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $20,000, depending on how bad the damage is.

  • - A sewer camera inspection typically runs between $150 and $400, making it a smart, affordable step.
    ​

When Should You Get a Sewer Inspection?

​

There’s never a bad time to schedule one, but here are the most common reasons people call us:
 

If you’re buying a house

- Don’t rely on guesswork. Know what’s underground before you commit.
 

If you’re selling a property

- Show potential buyers your system is in great shape—or know what needs fixing.


If your home is over 30 years old

- Materials like clay or cast iron don’t last forever. It’s worth checking.


If you’re running a business

- Especially if you manage a restaurant or commercial building with heavy water use. Backups can shut things down fast.

​

What Can the Camera Actually Find?

​

A good inspection tells you exactly what’s going on beneath your property. You might discover:

​

  • - Debris and grease buildup

  • - Tree roots growing into joints

  • - Pipes that have cracked or shifted

  • - Sagging lines that collect water (called bellies)

  • - Evidence of previous repairs—good or bad
     

The footage you get is yours to keep, and our team will walk you through it step by step.
