Sewer Camera Inspection in Louisville, CO

The City of Louisville runs its own sewer system and treats wastewater at a city plant on the east side of town. When drains back up, a sewer camera inspection films the line from your house toward the city main and shows whether roots, cracks, a sag or debris is the cause. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Louisville.

What happens after you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent local plumber who works in Louisville. They will want to know which drains are affected, whether water has come up anywhere, and where the cleanout is. On site, the plumber opens the line if it is full, runs a camera from the cleanout toward the main, and watches the picture as it goes. Each issue is measured by distance and located from above so it can be marked on the ground. You can ask to watch and to get a copy of the recording.

Cost depends on

Whether there is a cleanout or the camera has to go through a toilet or vent
Clearing a backed-up line before filming
The length of the run and how many bends it has
Surface locating and saving the footage
Off-hours timing for an urgent backup

Louisville conditions

Louisville is a former coal-mining town turned residential community in southeastern Boulder County, with a historic downtown along Main Street. Homes near downtown can be decades old, with building sewers where joints have loosened and roots have found a way in. Hundreds of homes were rebuilt after the December 2021 Marshall Fire, and a rebuilt house may have new plumbing inside but connect to a lateral that was not replaced, or to new pipe that has since settled. A camera is a straightforward way to check either case.

The city's wastewater treatment plant, built in 2017, uses UV disinfection and discharges to Coal Creek, with some effluent reused for park and golf course irrigation. If you suspect a problem in the public sewer, Louisville takes sewer backup reports through the Public Works Operations Division at (303) 335-4750 on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and on its on-call line at (303) 489-2301 after 3:30 p.m. The Building Safety Division performs plumbing inspections for any repair that follows, reachable at (303) 335-4584.

Quick checklist before the visit

Stop running water if anything is backing up
Locate the cleanout and clear the area around it
Move items away from the lowest floor drain
Write down when the problem started and which fixtures are affected
If your home was rebuilt, find any records showing whether the lateral was replaced

Sewer Camera Inspection questions in Louisville

Who should I call first when sewage backs up?

If only your house is affected, call a plumber. For a city sewer problem, Louisville Public Works Operations is at (303) 335-4750 on weekdays and (303) 489-2301 after 3:30 p.m.

Is a sewer scope worth ordering before I buy a house here?

Often. Older homes near downtown may have aging laterals, and a rebuilt home may still connect to an older line.

Can a newer house have sewer line problems?

Yes. New plastic pipe can settle or separate at a joint, which a camera shows clearly.

Should I keep a copy of the inspection video?

Yes. It makes repair quotes comparable and is useful when you sell.
