Firestone's sewer service comes from St. Vrain Sanitation District, which says the building sewer line belongs to the property, not the district. A sewer camera inspection films that line from the inside and shows settling, separated joints, roots or debris and where they are. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Firestone.
Firestone is a fast-growing Carbon Valley town in southwest Weld County along I-25, made up mostly of newer family subdivisions. The Town distributes water but does not run the sewer: St. Vrain Sanitation District serves Firestone along with Dacono, Frederick, parts of Mead and unincorporated Weld County inside its boundaries. The district treats the building sewer line as the property owner's responsibility and staffs a 24-hour line for backups at (303) 776-9570. If several homes on your street are backing up, that is the first call. If it is only yours, the problem is almost certainly in your private line, and a plumber with a camera is the way to find it. In newer homes like most of Firestone's, footage tends to show low spots where trench soil settled, joints that pulled apart, or debris left behind during construction.
What to do now
- Limit water use. Hold off on laundry, dishwashing and showers.
- See how far it reaches. One drain is a local clog; several together point to the building sewer.
- Call the district if neighbors are affected. St. Vrain Sanitation staffs a 24-hour backup line.
- Find the cleanout. Newer homes usually have one near the foundation.
- Clear, then film. The camera explains why the line stopped.
Symptoms and what they suggest
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Basement drain backs up during laundry | Blockage in the building sewer |
| Recurring clogs in a newer home | Belly where the pipe settled, holding solids |
| Gurgling toilets | Partial blockage downstream |
| Wet or sunken strip over the line | Separated joint or crack |
| Rags or wipes in the cleanout | Flushed materials snagging at a joint |
Cost factors
- Cleanout access versus going through a toilet
- Clearing a full line before the camera can see
- Length and depth of the run to the district main
- Surface locating and a saved copy of the video
- Any repair permit through the Town of Firestone Building Division
The number on this page connects you with an independent local plumber who serves Firestone. If your home is in Barefoot Lakes or another newer neighborhood, mention roughly when it was built; a line that has backed up within the first years of occupancy often points to settling or debris, and the plumber can plan for that before arriving.
