Sewer Camera Inspection in Bennett, CO

What happens when you call

You are connected with an independent local plumber who serves Bennett. They will ask which drains are slow, whether anything has backed up and where the cleanout is. At the house, the plumber opens the line if it is full, runs a camera from the cleanout toward the Town main and watches the picture live. Problems are measured by distance and located from the surface so they can be marked on the ground. Ask to see the footage and to keep a copy.

What drives the cost

• Cleanout access versus going through a toilet
• Clearing a backed-up line before filming
• Length of the run to the main
• Locating defects and saving the recording
• After-hours timing for an urgent backup

Bennett conditions

Bennett is a small eastern-plains town on the I-70 corridor about 25 minutes from Denver International Airport, and a large share of its homes were built since 2000. The median home dates from 2000, with about 27% built before 1980. That makes the town's sewer picture mostly about newer plastic pipe. Common camera findings in homes of that age are low spots where trench soil settled, joints that separated as the ground moved, and debris left from construction. Older homes near the original town are more likely to show roots or cracked pipe.

The Town supplies, treats and delivers water and runs its own sewer treatment plant, the Water Resource Recovery Facility. For questions about the Town system, Bennett Public Works is at 303.644.3249 ext. 1014. Keep in mind that ZIP 80102 also covers unincorporated land in Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties outside town limits, where service was not verified and some homes may not be on municipal sewer. For those, the camera checks the pipe from the house to the tank but not the onsite system. Repairs in town are permitted by the Town of Bennett Building Department at 207 Muegge Way, (303) 644-3249, which enforces the 2024 International Codes, including the plumbing code.
