Denver sits on expansive clay and bentonite soil that shifts as moisture levels change through the seasons, putting constant stress on rigid sewer lines and the joints between pipe sections. Pair that with the mature street trees lining blocks in Washington Park, Congress Park, and Park Hill, and you get one of Denver’s most common plumbing problems: tree roots working their way into pipe joints in search of water, especially in homes built before the 1950s and ’60s that may still have original clay tile or orangeburg lateral lines.
At A Clear Choice Plumbing and Heating, we start every sewer call with a camera inspection to pinpoint the actual location and cause of the problem before recommending a fix. Where the pipe and access allow, we offer trenchless pipe lining and pipe bursting to repair or replace the line without excavating your entire yard or the alley behind it. We also manage the City of Denver sewer permit process and can walk you through lateral ownership — in Denver, the homeowner is responsible for the line from the house to the main.
Camera inspection and trenchless repair options across Denver — call before it becomes an emergency.
Before we recommend any repair, we run a camera through the line to see the exact location, cause, and severity of the problem — no guesswork.
Roots from mature trees in Wash Park, Congress Park, and Park Hill are one of the leading causes of sewer line failure in Denver. We clear existing intrusions and flag lines at ongoing risk.
A cured-in-place liner repairs the inside of your existing sewer line with minimal digging — ideal for protecting mature trees, landscaping, and hardscaping above the line.
For lines too damaged to line, pipe bursting replaces the entire pipe while pulling the new line through the path of the old one, keeping excavation to a fraction of a traditional dig.
Some situations — severe collapse, alley access constraints, or certain pipe materials — call for traditional excavation. We plan the dig to minimize disruption to your property.
Older Denver homes often still run on original clay tile or orangeburg pipe, both prone to root intrusion and structural failure. We replace these lines with modern, code-compliant pipe.
A sewage backup can't wait. We prioritize emergency calls and move quickly to stop the backup and get your system flowing safely again.
