Drain Services

in Mountain Area Jefferson County, Park County, Clear Creek County and Surrounding Areas

When drains or sewer laterals become clogged or lack proper access, a professional cleanout or rooter service is critical to avoid backups, slow flow, and property damage. South Platte Services provides expert drain services, including camera inspections, rooter cleaning, and cleanout access installation, for both homes and businesses. We understand the unique plumbing challenges in mountainous terrain, from shifting soils to tree-root intrusion and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.

Drain Services Offered

Our drain services include the following:

  • Locating and installing sewer-cleanout access points when existing systems lack proper access
  • Video camera inspection of sewer lines and drains to identify blockages, root intrusion, pipe damage or improper flow
  • Mechanical rooter cleaning (including high-torque rotating cables) to clear roots, sediment and grease buildup from older clay, cast-iron or modern pipes
  • Post-service flow verifications to ensure the issue is resolved and your plumbing is restored
  • Preventive maintenance advice and scheduling to help avoid recurring blockages in challenging terrain

At South Platte Services, we recommend scheduling an annual septic system inspection and pumping every-2 to 3 years (depending on tank size and usage) to avoid major repair costs later.

Why Drain Services Are Useful

Proper drain service is vital for the long-term health of your plumbing system. Without professional attention, blocked drains or lack of cleanout access can lead to backups, foul odors, foundation issues and expensive repairs. In mountain areas, plumbing systems face added stress from tree roots, rocky soil, shifting ground, and seasonal loads like heavy snowmelt or leaf fall. A well-planned drain service complete with inspection, cleaning and cleanout access, helps maintain reliable flow, protects your property and supports peace of mind.

Signs you may need professional drain service:

  • Frequent backups or very slow draining sinks, tubs or toilets
  • No visible clean-out access point near the building or property line
  • Tree-root intrusion or sediment found during inspection or recurring after prior fixes
  • Cluttered or limited access that delays cleaning or causes repeat service visits
  • Odors or plumbing issues concentrated near your lateral, foundation or sewer line

When you act promptly, you minimize disruption, reduce risk and maintain the integrity of your whole plumbing system.
