Who handles what in Dacono?

Dacono, a southwest Weld County city settled by coal miners in 1901 and one of the Carbon Valley Tri-Towns with Frederick and Firestone, splits its utilities between two providers. The City of Dacono runs its own water department under Public Works, with customer service through City Hall on Cherry Avenue. Sewer comes from St. Vrain Sanitation District, which also serves Firestone, Frederick, parts of Mead and nearby unincorporated Weld County. The district maintains its mains and staffs a 24-hour line for sewer backups at (303) 776-9570. The building sewer, from the house to the district's main, belongs to the owner.

So if a sink or toilet is slow, call a plumber. If the whole house backs up and a plumber finds your line clear, call St. Vrain Sanitation.

What usually causes the clog?

In a newer home with plastic drain lines, the pipe itself rarely fails. The causes are what goes in: cooking grease that hardens in the kitchen line, hair and soap in bathroom drains, wipes in toilets, and food scraps through the disposal. In an older home, add scale inside metal drains and roots at the joints of clay or concrete sewer pipe. A plumber will ask roughly how old the house is because it changes which tools make sense. A line that clogs again within weeks of clearing usually has a cause a cable can't remove, and a camera inspection finds it.

Can I handle it myself?

A plunger on a single toilet or sink is reasonable. Beyond that, the risks go up. Chemical openers rarely touch a main line clog and leave hazardous water in the pipe. A rented auger can get stuck in a sewer line or damage a toilet. If more than one fixture is affected, or water is coming up a floor drain, stop running water and call. Trying to force a main line clog with more water only moves the sewage somewhere you'll have to clean.

Drain Cleaning questions in Dacono

Who pays to fix the sewer line between my house and the street?

The owner. St. Vrain Sanitation District, which serves Dacono, says the building sewer line belongs to the property, not the district.

Who do I call first when sewage backs up into the basement?

A plumber first, since most backups start in the building sewer. If your line is clear, St. Vrain Sanitation District's 24-hour backup line is (303) 776-9570.

Are chemical drain cleaners from the store a good idea?

Rarely. They seldom clear a main line, and the leftover chemical makes the pipe hazardous to open. Mechanical clearing works better.

Why does a drain clog again a few weeks after it was cleared?

The cause is still there, whether grease, roots, a sag or debris. A camera inspection after clearing shows what needs to be fixed.
