Drain Cleaning in Fort Collins, CO | Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

For most everyday clogs, a snake is all you need, and we will not talk you into anything bigger. Drain snaking, also called rooter service, runs a motor driven cable down the line and cuts through the hair, grease, and soft buildup behind a slow sink, tub, shower, or floor drain.

Our cables reach 75 to 100 feet, so we get clogs deep in the line that a hardware store auger cannot touch, and we pull the clog out instead of just poking a hole through it. Most single drain calls are finished in well under an hour.

The one time we will tell you a snake is not enough is when the same drain keeps clogging back. That points to grease or roots, and we will show you why on a camera before we ever bring up anything more.

Hydro jetting is the deep clean for the clogs a snake only pokes a hole through: years of grease, the hard water scale our Fort Collins water leaves behind, and roots packed into the line. High pressure water scours the whole pipe wall and flushes it out, so the line runs at full size again instead of clogging back within a month.

Here is the step a lot of companies skip, and it matters. We run a camera first. Forcing high pressure water through old, cracked cast iron or clay pipe can turn a clog into a broken line and a far bigger bill. We make sure the pipe can take it before we jet, and if it cannot, we say so and use a safer fix.

Jetting is the right money when a line has been snaked before and came back, or when the camera shows the walls are coated. It costs more than a one time snake, but on our hard water it holds for years, not weeks.

A camera turns a guess into a fact. We send a waterproof camera down the line and you watch the screen with us, so you see the roots, the crack, the low spot, or the grease for yourself instead of taking our word for it.

A locator on the surface marks the exact spot and depth of the trouble. That means if a repair is needed later, we open the ground in one small place instead of tearing up the yard to find it. You also get the recorded video and a plain written summary to keep, which is what buyers and sellers need for a home sale.

Get a scope on its own before you buy a house, after a drain keeps clogging, or any time you just want to know what shape your sewer line is really in.

When every drain in the house slows or backs up at once, the clog is in the main sewer line, not one sink, and it is the kind of thing that ends in a basement full of sewage if it sits. This is a call to make today, not next week.

We find the main clean out, camera the line to see what is blocking it, then clear it with a heavy cable for roots and solids or with jetting for grease. If your home has no clean out, we can still reach the line through a roof vent or by pulling a toilet, and we tell you up front when that changes the price. When the line runs clear, we send the camera back through to prove it, end to end.

When the camera shows a cracked, collapsed, bellied, or root wrecked pipe, cleaning will not hold and the line needs a real repair. The good news is we can often fix it without digging a trench across your whole Fort Collins yard.

Two methods do most of the work. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the path of the old one. Pipe lining slides a resin sleeve inside the old pipe and hardens it into a new wall. Both work through two small access holes, so your lawn, trees, and driveway stay put.

We will also tell you the truth when digging is the better call, like a fully collapsed line or one laid at the wrong slope, instead of selling you a lining that will not last. A replacement that ties into the city sewer needs a permit, and we pull it for you. Every repair starts with a camera and a written price, with no pressure to commit.

Kitchen sinks clog from grease, oil, food, and coffee grounds that cool and harden where the pipe narrows past the trap. We clear the line at the source with a cable sized for a kitchen run, and when grease has coated the walls over the years, we jet it so it does not come right back.

If your garbage disposal hums but the water backs up into the other side of the sink, that is almost always the drain line, not the disposal, so you do not need to buy a new disposal. We find out which it is before you spend a dime on the wrong fix.

Bathroom drains clog from hair and soap scum that knot up in the trap. We pull the cover, run a cable through the trap and trap arm, and pull the clog out by the root so it lasts, instead of melting the top of it with chemicals.

We skip the store bought drain cleaners on purpose, since they eat at older Fort Collins pipe and rarely clear the real clog. If your shower, tub, or sink drains slow at the same time as other rooms, we check for a deeper main line problem instead of just clearing the one drain.

A toilet that overflows, will not flush, or bubbles when the sink drains needs more than a plunger. We use a closet auger built to clear the bowl without scratching it, and if the clog sits deeper we pull the toilet and clear the line directly.

Floor and basement drains back up during laundry or heavy use and can let a sewer smell into the room. If a toilet or floor drain backs up along with other drains, the real problem is the main line, and a quick camera look settles it. These are messy and usually urgent, so we come out the same day, any day of the year.
