Emergency Drain and Sewer Cleaning in Aurora CO — 24 Hours, 365 Days
Drain emergencies do not follow business hours. A sewer backup at 10 PM on a Saturday is not something that can wait until Monday. We are available around the clock, every day of the year including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day — at our standard rate, with no after-hours surcharge.
Aurora's spring snowmelt season accelerates backup risk significantly. Problems set in motion by winter freeze-thaw movement surface fast when ground saturation rises in March and April. A slow drain that sits unaddressed can become a basement full of raw sewage within hours during this period.
If sewage is backing up into your home right now:
- Stop using all water in the house immediately
- Do not use chemical drain cleaners
- Locate your cleanout cap near the foundation to relieve pressure
- Move valuables off basement floors
- Call (833) 338-2528 — we dispatch immediately
We serve all Aurora ZIP codes: 80010 through 80019, 80045, and 80247.
Why Aurora Drains Clog Faster Than Most Colorado Cities
After working on hundreds of lines across Aurora since 2019, we see the same four conditions behind nearly every call.
Hard Water at 13.4 GPG — Nearly Three Times the National Average
Every gallon of Aurora water leaves a thin mineral deposit of calcium and magnesium on your pipe walls. Over months and years that builds into rough scale that narrows the pipe interior and gives grease and hair an immediate surface to grip. Snaking opens a hole through the clog. The scale stays on the wall and starts collecting debris again within weeks.
Bentonite Clay Soil and Tree Roots Along Toll Gate Creek and the High Line Canal
Bentonite clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That constant movement cracks pipe joints and pulls sewer connections apart. Mature cottonwood and elm trees along Toll Gate Creek between Chambers Road and Buckley Road, and along the High Line Canal through Heather Gardens, send roots directly into those cracks. Root regrowth after a snake is measured in weeks, not years.
Aging Pipe in Homes Built Before 1995
The median Aurora home was built in 1985. Del Mar Park near Iliff Avenue, Aurora Highlands near East Colfax, and Heather Gardens south of Hampden Avenue still have original clay tile or cast iron sewer laterals. Homes built before 1965 — particularly near East Colfax and the former Fitzsimons site — may have Orangeburg pipe, a fiber-based material that softens and deforms with moisture over time.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles at 5,400 Feet
Aurora loses heat rapidly after sunset. Each winter freeze-thaw cycle shifts the clay soil around buried pipes. Sewer backup calls peak every March and April — the problems were set in motion the previous winter.
Warning Signs Your Aurora Home Needs Drain or Sewer Cleaning
Water draining noticeably slower
In the sink or tub than a month ago.
Gurgling sounds from one drain when using another fixture
Air being forced back through a partial blockage.
Sewer smell inside the home with no obvious visible source
A cracked pipe venting gas indoors.
Two or more drains slowing or backing up at the same time
Multiple symptoms across the home point to the main sewer line and should be treated as an emergency.
Sewage backing up into a basement floor drain or bathtub
Call immediately — stop all water use first.
The same drain has clogged more than twice in one year
A drain that was snaked six months ago and is already slow again is a wall condition problem, not a clog problem.
Drain and Sewer Cleaning Services in Aurora CO
Every job starts with finding the actual cause. Written price before we start. Right tool for the actual problem.
Clogged Drain Cleaning Service in Aurora
For single-fixture clogs from hair, soap buildup, grease near the drain opening, or soft debris, we snake and clear the same day. For older Aurora homes with tight angles and corroded fittings, we use drain rodding — a method that gives precise control in pipe configurations where a standard cable struggles to navigate.
Snaking is the right call for a fresh, localized clog. When the same fixture clogs repeatedly, snaking is masking a pipe wall condition — scale, roots, or a rough corroded interior — that will not respond to another cable pass.
$100 – $275Hydro Jetting and Sewer Jetting Service in Aurora CO
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to strip the full interior of the pipe back to its original diameter — removing mineral scale from Aurora's hard water, grease coating, and root fragments that a cable breaks but cannot remove. The result is a clean pipe, not just an open one.
For Aurora homes dealing with scale and grease combined, snaking typically holds for two to four months. One hydro jetting treatment on an Aurora home with scale history holds for one to two years. If the same drain has been snaked more than twice in twelve months, sewer jetting is the more economical long-term answer.
We camera the pipe before jetting. Aurora's Orangeburg laterals cannot withstand jetting pressure — we assess the condition first and choose the appropriate method.
$300 – $600Sewer Cleanout Service in Aurora CO
The sewer cleanout is the access point for clearing your main line — a capped pipe at the foundation or in the yard. We locate your cleanout, camera the line through it, and clear the blockage completely, then run the camera again to confirm the line is open end to end.
If your Aurora home has no accessible cleanout, we reach the line through a roof vent or by pulling a toilet. We tell you the cost impact before proceeding.
For any Aurora home 20 years or older, annual sewer cleanout service costs a fraction of an emergency backup and the water damage that follows.
$150 – $500Sewer Camera Inspection in Aurora CO
A fiber-optic camera travels through the line while you watch the footage with us. You see the exact location and nature of the problem — mineral scale, root mass, pipe belly, offset joint, Orangeburg deformation, or a crack — before we recommend any work. This step protects you from paying for a service that does not match what is actually happening in the pipe.
Pre-purchase camera scopes are common for Aurora homes near tree-lined streets in Heather Gardens, Windermere, and the older blocks around East Colfax — where clay and Orangeburg laterals are most concentrated.
$150 – $300Kitchen Sink Drain Unclogging in Aurora
Grease, cooking oil, food debris, and coffee grounds accumulate past the trap and harden against scale-roughened pipe walls. We clear the line at the source and jet it when grease has built up over years — so the drain runs clean for months rather than weeks. If your garbage disposal runs but water backs up into the other basin, the problem is almost always the drain line. We check before recommending any equipment replacement.
from $100Bathroom and Shower Drain Cleaning Service
Hair and soap scum accumulate in the trap and trap arm. We remove the clog completely rather than dissolving the surface layer with chemicals that accelerate corrosion in Aurora's older cast iron pipe. If the shower, tub, and sink all slow simultaneously, we check the main line — multiple slowing fixtures in Aurora almost always point to the lateral.
from $100Clogged Toilet and Floor Drain Cleaning
A toilet that gurgles, overflows, or backs up repeatedly is rarely about the bowl when it recurs. One occurrence is a local blockage we clear with a closet auger. A pattern points downstream — we camera the line to find the actual source. Floor drains that back up during laundry cycles are a main line signal in most Aurora homes. We treat these as same-day calls, every day of the year.
from $100Main Sewer Line Cleaning in Aurora CO
When two or more fixtures are backing up simultaneously, the blockage is in the main sewer line connecting your home to the Aurora city sewer. Main line cleaning requires heavier equipment and a different approach than fixture-level work. We clear the full-diameter blockage and confirm results with a post-cleaning camera run — showing you the open line before we leave.
$175 – $500Grease Trap Service in Aurora CO
Restaurants along South Havana Street, commercial kitchens near Southlands, and food service businesses along the I-225 corridor generate grease loads that residential drain methods cannot manage. Aurora's hard water compounds the problem — scale and grease together build a lining on commercial kitchen pipe walls faster than in most Colorado cities.
We provide grease trap pumping, grease trap cleaning, and grease trap maintenance in Aurora on scheduled and emergency timelines. Regular grease trap service keeps your kitchen out of compliance risk and your drain lines from backing up during service hours.
Commercial kitchen sewer lines require a different method than residential service — we use commercial-grade hydro jetting equipment matched to grease line diameter and flow, not residential tools scaled up.
Grease trap services we provide in Aurora:
- Grease trap pumping and cleaning
- Grease trap maintenance agreements
- Commercial kitchen drain line jetting
- Emergency grease trap service when a kitchen drain backs up during service
Sewage Cleanup in Aurora CO
A sewer backup that reaches living space requires more than drain cleaning — the sewage itself needs to be contained and addressed before the drain work is complete. When sewage has backed up into a basement floor drain, tub, or floor drain in Aurora, we clear the blockage first and coordinate with you on the cleanup side.
If sewage has entered your living space: stop all water use immediately, do not walk through the affected area without protection, and call us. We dispatch immediately any hour of the day.
Aurora's spring snowmelt period — March through May — is the highest-risk season for basement sewage backup events as ground saturation accelerates main line pressure.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Aurora CO
Who Is Responsible for the Sewer Line in Aurora?
The homeowner owns the sewer lateral from the foundation to the city main under the street. Aurora Water maintains the city main. If the blockage or break is in your lateral — which is the case in the overwhelming majority of calls — the repair cost belongs to you. A camera inspection confirms exactly which side of the connection the problem sits on.
Trenchless Sewer Repair in Aurora CO
CIPP pipe lining inserts a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe and cures it in place, forming a smooth new interior without excavation. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the old line while breaking the original pipe outward. Both methods restore full function from two small access points with minimal surface disruption.
Whether your Aurora lateral qualifies for trenchless repair depends on the damage type and pipe condition — which a camera inspection determines. Trenchless methods work well for most Del Mar, Heather Gardens, and Aurora Highlands clay tile laterals. Severely collapsed sections or Orangeburg pipe past usable condition sometimes require excavation.
Sewer Line Replacement in Aurora CO
When the camera shows a collapsed section, severe pipe belly, or Orangeburg pipe past its usable condition, cleaning will not hold. We present written repair and replacement options before any work begins. This conversation comes up regularly for homes in Del Mar, Aurora Highlands, and Heather Gardens where 1980s clay tile laterals are now at or past their practical lifespan.

Aurora Drain Cleaning by Neighborhood
East Colfax and Havana Street Corridor — 80010, 80011, 80220
Oldest cast iron lines in the city. Highest concentration of Orangeburg pipe near former Fitzsimons. Camera inspection before cleaning is standard on every call here.
Aurora Highlands, Del Mar Park, North Aurora — 80012, 80013
1970s to 1980s clay tile laterals. Highest root intrusion call volume in Aurora. Many of these lines are at or past their practical lifespan and benefit from a camera-first approach to determine whether cleaning or repair is the better investment.
Heather Gardens and Heritage Eagle Bend — 80014, 80015
Along the High Line Canal. Mature tree roots are a persistent sewer lateral threat year-round. Annual sewer cleanout and camera inspection is the standard maintenance approach for homes here.
Green Valley Ranch, Murphy Creek, Seven Hills, Saddle Rock — 80017, 80018, 80019
Newer PVC pipe that rarely cracks, but fill soil settlement creates pipe bellies in this zone more than any other part of Aurora. A camera shows you whether a belly is developing before it becomes a blockage.
Southlands, Tallyn's Reach, East Aurora — 80016
Modern pipe systems with lower structural risk. Primary issues are grease, debris, and standard hard water scale. Same 24/7 coverage as every other Aurora neighborhood.
Drain Maintenance in Aurora — Annual Service Guide
Annual drain cleaning is the single most cost-effective preventive step for most Aurora homes. At 13.4 GPG, Aurora's water leaves mineral scale on pipe walls faster than nearly anywhere in Colorado. That scale accelerates every other type of buildup.
Homes built before 1985 or with trees within 20 feet of the sewer lateral should schedule sewer cleanout service every six months. Commercial food service in Aurora should maintain quarterly drain cleaning and grease trap service to manage documented grease buildup rates.
Daily habits that extend the interval between professional visits: keep all fats, oils, and grease out of kitchen drains — Aurora Water's FOG program identifies these as a leading cause of sewer backups across the city. Use a hair catcher in every shower and tub. Avoid chemical drain cleaners entirely in homes with cast iron or clay tile pipe.
Commercial Drain Cleaning in Aurora CO
Restaurants along Havana Street, commercial kitchens near Southlands, and food service along the I-225 corridor run drain lines that residential methods cannot consistently manage. Grease loads are higher, flow volumes are higher, and Aurora's hard water compounds the buildup rate on every commercial kitchen line.
We provide commercial drain cleaning, sewer jetting for commercial lines, grease trap pumping and maintenance, and 24/7 emergency response for commercial properties. Maintenance agreements are available with flat-rate scheduling built around your operating hours.
For Aurora property managers and landlords — fast turnaround, camera documentation, and responsive service when tenant calls come in.
