Sewer Service & Water Line Replacement in Denver, CO
These are the big jobs: digging to the buried line, replacing it, and getting your yard or floor back in order. They are the core of what Perez Plumbing does.
What this category covers, and why it is grouped
Sewer, drain and water lines carry the water that comes into your house and the wastewater that leaves it, and when one fails, the fix is usually to replace it, not repair it. This category groups the jobs that involve opening the ground or the walls: sewer and drain line replacement, water service line replacement, and repiping old iron and galvanized pipe inside the house.
Older Denver neighborhoods are where this work concentrates. Houses built from the late 1800s through the 1950s often have clay or cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipe, and in some cases lead service lines. Those lines are the same age as the mature trees that now send roots toward their joints, and the Front Range clay soils swell and shrink with moisture and can shift a rigid pipe out of line.
Buying advice for this kind of work: get the scope in writing, ask what restoration is included, and ask who handles the permit and inspection. Jaime walks you through all three before work starts.

Jaime built his experience on this kind of work: excavation, pipe replacement, and swapping old clay and iron for new plastic. It is physically demanding and detail-heavy. The slope of a drain line, the depth of a water line, and the way a trench is bedded and backfilled all decide how long the job lasts.
We aim to keep the disruption to a minimum, show you what is in the trench, and leave the area ready to use.
Sewer & Water Line Services: common questions
How do I know whether I need a repair or a full replacement?
A single failed section can sometimes be repaired. If the pipe is old and fails repeatedly, or if several sections are damaged, replacing the line is usually the better long-term fix. We tell you which applies.
Does the quote include restoring the surface?
We list what the quote includes, such as backfilling and patching concrete or flooring, and what it does not, such as landscaping. Ask for it in writing.
Do I need a permit for sewer or water line work?
Most cities require permits and inspections for line replacement, and requirements vary between Denver and nearby cities. We plan the job around what your address requires.
What is the difference between my sewer line and my water line?
The water line brings clean water under pressure into your house. The sewer line carries wastewater out by gravity. They are separate pipes, usually buried at different depths, and they fail for different reasons.
Can old iron and clay pipe be left in place?
Sometimes, if it is in good condition. We look at what you have, tell you what needs to go and what can stay, and quote accordingly.
