Sewer Camera Inspection in Elizabeth, CO

Inside Town limits, Elizabeth's Public Works collects and treats wastewater, but many Elizabeth-addressed properties sit outside the Town and may not be on municipal sewer. Either way, a camera inspection can show what is happening in the drain line leaving your house. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Elizabeth.

Is my Elizabeth home on Town sewer?

Only if it is inside Town limits. The Town of Elizabeth's Public Works collects and treats wastewater before discharging it downstream, and that service is for properties inside Town limits. Many properties with an Elizabeth address are outside those limits, and the Town points residents to its boundary map to confirm. If you pay a Town sewer bill, you are connected. If not, your home may be on a private onsite wastewater system, and a camera can still check the pipe from the house to the tank, though not the system itself.

What would a camera find in an Elizabeth house?

Elizabeth began as an 1855 sawmill camp on Running Creek and has grown into a commuter community since the 1990s, with a historic Main Street and a mix of older and newer homes. The median home in town was built in 1999, and about 27% predate 1980. In newer homes, footage typically shows settled sections, shifted joints or construction debris in plastic pipe. Older homes near Main Street and Banner Street are more likely to show roots or cracked pipe. On a rural lot not on municipal sewer, the camera looks at the line to the tank for roots, breaks or a blockage; if that line is clear and the house still backs up, the issue is farther along in the onsite system.

Who issues permits for a repair?

It depends on that same boundary. Inside Town limits, a building permit is required whenever plumbing systems are involved, with permits and inspections handled by SAFEbuilt for the Town (permits 303-646-4166 x4). Outside Town limits, permits come from Elbert County. The plumber doing a repair normally handles the application. For a Town water or sewer emergency posing imminent danger to life or property, Public Works has an after-hours line at (303) 284-1709; during the day the office is at (303) 646-0916.

Local note

When you call, say whether you are inside Town limits or on a rural lot. That tells the plumber whether the line ends at a Town main or at a tank, which changes how far the camera needs to go and what equipment to bring.

Sewer Camera Inspection questions in Elizabeth

My home is not on municipal sewer. Is a camera still useful?

Yes, for the pipe from the house to the tank. It can show roots, breaks or blockages there, but it does not evaluate the onsite system itself.

How do I find out which district handles my sewer?

Inside Town limits, it is Town of Elizabeth Public Works. The Town's boundary map shows whether your address is inside; many Elizabeth addresses are not.

Do I need a permit if the camera finds a broken line?

Inside Town limits, yes, through the Town's SAFEbuilt-run permit office. Outside Town limits, permits come from Elbert County.

Can a newer house have sewer line problems?

Yes. The median Elizabeth home was built in 1999, and newer plastic lines can still settle or separate.
