Sheridan has its own sanitation district, Sheridan Sanitation District No. 1, on South Federal Boulevard. The pipe from your house to the public sewer is private plumbing, and when it cracks or clogs, a plumber makes the repair. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Sheridan.
Once you've called
You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who serves Sheridan and the southwest metro. Expect questions about which drains are backing up, when it started and whether it's happened before. On the visit, the plumber normally clears the blockage, runs a camera through the line to see its material and condition, and finds the depth and location of any defect. Repair options follow from what the camera shows.
Cost depends on
- How deep the pipe is and how long the bad section runs
- Pavement, sidewalks or trees above it
- Spot repair, lining or replacement
- Any permit and inspection the City requires
- Access through a cleanout or the need to add one
Local conditions in Sheridan
Sheridan is a small, long-established Arapahoe County city that borders Denver on its west and north sides, near US 85, US 285 and South Federal Boulevard. Sheridan Sanitation District No. 1 is based at 4101 South Federal Boulevard and can be reached at 303-483-3259. Whether it covers every Sheridan address, and where its wastewater is treated, wasn't confirmed, so check your bill for the sewer provider at your address.
Water is a separate system: Denver Water runs Sheridan's water service under a Total Service contract and reads and bills meters directly. Denver Water says the homeowner owns the water service line, which is worth knowing if a dig for a sewer repair runs near it. The office that issues plumbing permits in Sheridan wasn't confirmed either; the plumber can check current requirements with the City before work starts.
Housing-age figures weren't available for Sheridan, so treat the pipe material under any given house as unknown until a camera shows it. Older laterals in the metro can be clay or cast iron, while newer construction usually has plastic.
Before the plumber comes
- Stop using water in the house
- Find the cleanout and clear the area
- Check your bill for your sewer provider's name
- Note which fixture backed up first
- Skip chemical drain cleaners
Having the provider's name ready speeds things up if the camera points to the public main instead of your pipe.
