In Castle Pines, hydro jetting means sending a high-pressure water nozzle through the sewer lateral or main drain to scour off grease, sludge and roots so the full pipe opens back up. Plumbers recommend it when snaking has not kept a line clear. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Castle Pines.
Signs it's time to jet
- A clog that comes back weeks after the line was cabled
- Lower-level drains backing up while upstairs fixtures run
- Gurgling from a floor drain or toilet
- Grease or soap sludge on the cable head
- Sewer odor near the cleanout
A single slow fixture is usually a local clog. When the lowest drains go together, look to the main line.
How Castle Pines is served
Castle Pines is a young home rule city on I-25 in northern Douglas County, incorporated in 2008 from the Castle Pines North community. Castle Pines North Metropolitan District provides both drinking water and wastewater service in the city. The Village at Castle Pines, just to the south, is served by a separate district, Castle Pines Village Metropolitan District, so the utility depends on where you live. Your bill shows which one serves you.
Because much of the community is relatively recent construction, drain lines here are more often plastic than clay or cast iron. That changes what jetting is for: it is less about scale and corroded pipe and more about grease from kitchens, wipes and soap residue that coat the inside of the line, and about roots that can find a joint where landscaping has matured. Jetting clears all of those without the abrasion a cable can cause.
The City of Castle Pines lists water and sewer line repair or replacement as a 1-Stop permit, with inspections by City staff. Cleaning an existing line is maintenance, but if a camera turns up a broken section, the repair goes through the City's Building Department.
Cost factors
- Whether there's an accessible cleanout, or the plumber works through a toilet or vent
- The run from the house to the district main
- Type and amount of buildup
- Camera inspection before or after cleaning
- Scheduling outside normal hours
