Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Longmont: what's different here
Old Town and central Longmont have clay and cast iron sewer laterals under mature trees. Root intrusion and cracked pipe cause recurring backups.
A camera inspection pinpoints the damage; spot repair, lining or replacement follow depending on the pipe's condition.
The City of Longmont issues permits, and utility locates are required before excavation.
Homes that had sewer work after the 2013 flood may have a mix of new and old pipe on the same lateral. A camera inspection shows where the repaired section meets the original clay or cast iron, which is often where the next problem starts. Ask for the video so you have a record for future repairs or a sale.
