Sewer Camera Inspection in Kiowa, CO

Signs the main line needs a look

• The lowest drain in the house backs up during laundry
• Toilets gurgle when the tub or sink drains
• Drains throughout the house slow down together
• Sewage odor near the cleanout or in a basement
• Clogs come back soon after clearing

A single slow drain usually has a local clog. When everything slows at once, the shared line leaving the house is the suspect.

Kiowa conditions

Kiowa is a small, steadily growing home rule town and the Elbert County seat. The median home was built in 1996, and about 28% predate 1980. Newer homes tend to show settling, shifted joints or construction debris on camera, while older homes near the town center on Comanche Street are more likely to show roots or cracked pipe.

The Kiowa Water and Wastewater Authority serves the Town and sets water and sewer fees and sewer connection standards; billing and contact go through the Town office at 404 Comanche Street, 303-621-2366. KWWA's technical standards say the Authority maintains its facilities, while the property owner maintains the water service line from the main to the structure. Our fact sheet does not quote a matching sewer split, so if the camera finds a defect out near the main, ask the Town office before assuming who handles it. Rural 80117 addresses outside the Authority were not verified, and some may not be on municipal sewer; for those, a camera checks the pipe to the tank but not the onsite system.

What affects the cost

• Access. A cleanout makes entry easy; otherwise the plumber may use a toilet or vent.
• Clearing. A full line has to be opened first.
• Distance. Longer runs, common on bigger lots, take more time.
• Documentation. Surface locating and a saved video.
