Colorado Licensed Master Plumbers & Leak Specialists
Dealing with slow drains, recurring toilet clogs, or foul sewer odors in your home? PipeGuard Pro provides fast 24/7 emergency water leak detection in Broomfield and high-definition sewer camera inspections. We send an HD color video camera directly into your underground sewer line to see the exact cause of the backup—whether it's invasive tree roots, broken pipes, or heavy buildup—without digging up your yard.
Don't guess what's causing your sewer backup. We show you exactly what is happening inside your drain pipes so you can make the right repair decision.
Call (720) 753-0254When multiple drains in your house slow down at once or water backs up into bathtubs and floor drains, the issue is usually in the main underground sewer line. Snaking the drain only clears a temporary hole. When paired with our leak detection specialists, a sewer camera inspection shows you the root cause—cracked pipes, root invasion, or pipe sagging—so you can fix it permanently.
A sewer camera inspection is a non-destructive diagnostic method that uses a flexible fiber-optic cable with a waterproof, high-resolution camera attached to its tip. We insert the camera through an existing sewer cleanout pipe, allowing us to travel through your entire drain system all the way to the city sewer main.
As the camera moves through the pipe, it transmits live, full-color video footage to a monitor above ground. Powerful LED lights illuminate the inside of the pipe, revealing the exact condition of the line—including underground water lines fractures, tree root clusters, grease buildup, and misaligned joints.
Sewer line problems often start with subtle signs before causing a complete basement or bathroom backup. Watch for these indicators:
Multiple Slow Drains: If your sinks, showers, and tubs are all draining slowly at the same time, the restriction is in your main sewer lateral rather than individual fixture pipes.
Frequent Toilet Backups: Toilets that frequently back up, overflow, or bubble when other plumbing fixtures (like a washing machine) run.
Gurgling Sounds in Pipes: Trapped air struggling to pass through a restricted sewer line creates loud gurgling or bubbling noises in toilets and drains.
Sewer Gas Odors: Smelling unpleasant sewer gas in your basement, bathrooms, or around your yard indicates a cracked pipe, dry trap, or vent problem.
Lush or Soggy Yard Patches: A broken underground sewer pipe can leak wastewater into your lawn, causing unusually green grass or damp, foul-smelling spots.
Homes across Broomfield and the Front Range face specific ground and environmental factors that affect underground sewer lines:
Tree Root Intrusion: Mature cottonwood, maple, and willow trees naturally seek moisture and nutrients. Microscopic root hairs enter small pipe joints, growing into thick root balls that completely block sewage flow.
Shifting Clay Soil & Pipe Bellies: Broomfield's clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry. This ground movement can cause sections of sewer pipe to sag (creating a "belly" where waste settles) or crack at the joints.
Aging Pipe Materials: Older homes in Broomfield may have clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg sewer lines that deteriorate, corrode, or collapse over decades of use.
Grease & Debris Buildup: Fats, oils, grease, and non-flushable wipes stick to the inside of pipes, gradually narrowing the opening until a full blockage occurs.
Ground Settling Around Foundations: As the soil around a home settles, the sewer pipe exiting the foundation wall can experience shear stress, leading to offset joints or breaks.
Rather than digging up your grass or ripping open basement floors to find a problem, our video inspection technology lets us see inside your pipes in real time:
High-Definition Color Camera: The self-leveling HD camera head captures crisp, clear footage of pipe walls, joint connections, and blockages so nothing is missed.
Built-In Signal Transmitter: The camera head emits a signal as it moves through the pipe. Above ground, our technician uses a digital receiver to track the exact spot and depth of the camera head in your yard.
Distance Counter: Our equipment measures the exact footage from the cleanout to the blockage, giving an accurate map of your entire sewer run.
Recorded Video Documentation: You receive a full digital video recording and a clear inspection summary, perfect for insurance claims, real estate purchases, or plumber bids.
Taking immediate action can prevent wastewater damage inside your home:
Immediately avoid running washing machines, dishwashers, showers, or flushing toilets to prevent adding more water to the backed-up line.
Find the main sewer cleanout pipe cap, usually located outside near your foundation wall, in the front lawn, or in your basement.
Do not pour harsh chemical drain cleaners down the line. They cannot clear tree roots or collapsed pipes and create toxic hazards.

The Problem: Homeowner had cleared the drain twice with a snake, but wastewater backed up into the basement floor drain every time the laundry ran.
What We Did: Ran an HD sewer camera through the main cleanout. At 42 feet, we found heavy tree roots entering an offset clay pipe joint under the front lawn.
The Result: Mapped the exact spot 4.5 feet deep. The plumber cleared the roots with hydro-jetting and installed a targeted pipe liner without trenching the lawn.
The Problem: Toilets gurgled when showers were draining, and a persistent sewer odor was noticeable in the main hallway.
What We Did: Inspected the 4-inch PVC line with our color camera. Found a 6-foot sagging section (pipe belly) holding standing water and debris under the driveway.
The Result: Identified the exact cause of the standing water and provided video documentation for a permanent pipe realignment.
The Problem: Home buyer wanted to inspect the underground sewer line of a 1980s home before finalizing the purchase contract.
What We Did: Performed a full sewer scope from the cleanout to the city main connection at 68 feet.
The Result: Discovered a cracked pipe section near the street easement. The buyer used our video report to negotiate a $5,500 seller repair credit.
The Problem: Kitchen sink and dishwasher drains were chronically slow, backing up every few weeks.
What We Did: Inserted our camera to inspect the aging cast iron pipe under the slab. Located heavy rust scale and grease constriction narrowing the 3-inch pipe to 1 inch.
The Result: Verified that the pipe itself was structurally sound and recommended mechanical descaling, restoring full drain capacity.
