Residential Drain Cleaning in Denver, CO
Residential drain work is as much about the visit as the pipe. You are letting someone into your home, often during a stressful moment, and the difference between a good experience and a bad one is communication and respect for the property.
What your home's age tells us
| Era | Typical drain construction | Common issues |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-1940 | Cast iron interior, clay tile sewer | Root intrusion, scale, corroded branch lines, often no cleanout |
| 1940s – 1960s | Cast iron, some clay, early Orangeburg | Roots, scale, deteriorating Orangeburg laterals |
| 1960s – 1980s | Cast iron and early plastics | Scale, joint separation, aging cast iron bottoms |
| 1980s – 2000s | ABS and PVC | Wipes and objects, occasional bellies from settlement |
| 2000s onward | PVC throughout | Almost always usage-related rather than structural |
Denver's expansive clay soils affect all of these. Ground movement over decades separates joints and creates low spots regardless of pipe material, which is why even a relatively young home can develop a belly.
