What Requires Sewer Line Excavation?
Not every sewer problem needs a full dig. Excavation becomes necessary when pipes have collapsed, severely bellied, or sustained damage that trenchless lining cannot fix. Signs your Denver property may need sewer line excavation Denver CO include recurring sewage backups, soggy patches in the yard despite dry weather, foul odors from multiple drains at once, and visible sinkholes near the sewer corridor. Acting on these early saves significant money. Ignored pipe failure leads to foundation damage, soil contamination, and city code violations under Denver Public Works standards.
Main Line Excavation Denver CO
The main sewer line connects your entire property to the city sewer. Main line excavation Denver CO is required when the lateral from your foundation to the street has collapsed, cracked along a long section, or been infiltrated by tree roots that cannot be cleared by jetting alone. We begin every main line job with a live video camera inspection to pinpoint the exact failure point before any ground is broken. That precision limits the trench to only what is necessary, protecting your lawn, driveway, and landscaping.

Residential Sewer Excavation Denver CO
Homeowners face unique excavation challenges that differ from commercial projects. For residential sewer excavation Denver CO, the most common pipe materials found under older Denver homes are clay tile (installed before 1970), Orangeburg pipe (a fiber-and-pitch material from the 1940s through 1960s that degrades and collapses over decades), and cast iron. All three require full replacement rather than lining once they fail structurally. When any of these materials reach the end of their service life, sewer line excavation Denver CO is the permanent solution that protects your home and meets current code.
Home buyers and inspections: If a pre-purchase sewer scope reveals collapse, offset joints, or heavy Orangeburg deterioration, Pro Solutions provides a written condition report and repair estimate you can use in negotiations or for permit filing. We work with buyers, sellers, and real estate agents throughout Denver to complete repairs before closing.
Residential permitting: Denver requires an excavation permit and a plumbing permit for any sewer lateral work that extends to or crosses the property line. Pro Solutions manages both permits, coordinates the required utility locates through Colorado 811, and schedules the city inspection, so you never have to navigate city hall alone.
