Sewer Line & Drain Repair Fort Collins

Residential & Commercial Sewer, Drain & Water Line Diagnosis & Repair

Drain cleaning is typically a small easy fix, but what about sewer line repairs? If simple drain cleaning can’t solve a clogged pipe, a deeper look into your main sewer line may be in need. Sewer mains can be a pretty big project depending on the scope, but Hahn Plumbing & Heating offers solutions that make the process as easy as can be for our customers and their properties.

Today, we use a number of techniques for easy, minimally-invasive drain cleaning and sewer line repair. If ever a problem goes beyond the typical wastewater drain, we’re happy to look further down the line and find the bigger issue. Using a sewer scope camera allows us the ability to observe issues in the sewer without tearing up a yard first. Should there be the need for complete sewer line repair or replacement, Hahn Plumbing will get the job done, and in the right way. We will estimate what the job will require,  obtain the necessary permits from the city of Fort Collins (or surrounding cities), for bigger projects which require them and make sure that we are in complete communication from the project start to finish.

Types of Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning can be very simple if professionally done, and often requires little more than a few hours to work. While there are a few methods for cleaning drains out there, we primarily just use the following two.

• Hydro Jetting – 

Hydro jetting processes send high-powered streams of water through clogged pipes to break up any clogs, debris, or other drain-blocking objects. As you can imagine, this high-velocity water jet clears and cleans the insides of drains, and is fairly effective for small to medium-sized clogs. Before the hydro jetting process, our technicians take the time to inspect the customer’s plumbing lines, simply to ensure that hydro jetting is the ideal solution. If pipes are old and beat up, hydro jetting may not be the best drain cleaning solution for the situation.

• Drain Snaking –

Before hydro jetting, the most popular option for small to medium-sized clogs was drain snaking or using a drain auger. Drain snaking uses a long, flexible metal line to break up any debris or objects clogging pipes. On the end of the wound metal line, the drain snake has a little metal corkscrew which physically breaks up clogs and debris within the drain.

Sewer Line Repair

Conventional Sewer Line Replacement

If the problem goes beyond the drain pipes inside the house, it may be time to evaluate the sewer lines. Our technicians use a sewer scope, or a small inline camera, to see exactly what is needed within the sewer line. This will help tell us what kind of repairs we’ll need to make. Feel free to contact us to discuss sewer lin repair or replacement further.

The standard method of sewer line replacement requires digging down to the sewer lines, cutting out broken or tattered lengths of pipe, and replacing them. In many cases, conventional sewer line replacement requires removing existing concrete or area and excavating a front, back or side yard, since the plumber must get to the physical pipe. Once there they replace the pipes with up-to-date piping and materials and make sure that sewage or wastewater is properly disposed of from the property to the city’s main sewer line. 

Many plumbing companies do not offer excavation services or subcontract them out. At Hahn Plumbing, we have the expertise, proper equipment, and trained professionals to handle any size excavation job, commercial, or residential. This allows us to provide better service at a cost more affordable to our customers.
