Sewer Problems in Broomfield? Here’s What You Need to Know

When sewer issues hit, they don’t just interrupt your day—they can put your property and health at risk. In Broomfield, CO, Big Apple Plumbing LLC is the trusted name for sewer repair, sewer inspections, and full sewer line replacements. Our experienced, local team is ready to help you solve the problem fast—with no unnecessary upsells or delays.

Common Sewer Problems in Broomfield Homes

Older neighborhoods in Broomfield often face problems caused by aging infrastructure. Some of the most common sewer line issues we deal with include:

  • Tree root intrusion: Roots from nearby trees or bushes can crack into the line, blocking water flow.

  • Pipe corrosion or collapse: Cast iron and clay pipes are prone to deterioration over time.

  • Shifting soil: Broomfield’s freeze-thaw cycles and occasional ground movement can cause misalignment or pipe separation.

  • Grease and waste buildup: Non-flushable items, food debris, and grease can clog your main sewer line.

  • Construction damage: Sometimes nearby digging or landscaping can disrupt your buried sewer line.

If you’re noticing persistent drain problems or odd smells, it might be time to look underground.

Top Warning Signs Your Sewer Line Might Be Failing

Some plumbing issues seem small at first, but they’re often early signs of a bigger sewer problem. Watch out for:

  • Water backing up in sinks, bathtubs, or toilets

  • Gurgling or bubbling noises when drains are in use

  • Multiple slow drains throughout the home

  • Wet or extra-green spots in your yard

  • Sewer odors coming from toilets, sinks, or outside

These signs should never be ignored. Big Apple Plumbing LLC can perform a camera sewer inspection to pinpoint exactly what’s happening.

Why Broomfield Trusts Big Apple Plumbing LLC

We aren’t a chain or call center. Big Apple Plumbing LLC is a locally owned and operated plumbing company serving Broomfield, Westminster, and Thornton. Here’s why your neighbors call us first:

  • ✅ We’re based right here in the Denver metro—so we respond quickly.

  • ✅ Our licensed plumbers specialize in sewer diagnostics and repair.

  • ✅ We explain every option clearly and give upfront pricing.

  • ✅ No-pressure service—just honest advice and lasting solutions.

From residential to light commercial sewer lines, we’ve seen it all.

Sewer Repair vs. Full Replacement: What’s the Difference?

If the issue is isolated—a small crack or a localized blockage—a sewer line repair may be all you need. But if the pipe is collapsed, severely corroded, or outdated, it’s often more cost-effective to go with a full sewer line replacement.

We offer both traditional excavation and trenchless sewer replacement options when possible, so your yard doesn’t have to become a construction zone.

We’ll walk you through:

  • What’s causing the problem

  • How extensive the damage is

  • All available repair or replacement solutions

  • The total cost—no hidden fees

How Big Apple Plumbing LLC Diagnoses Sewer Issues

We don’t guess—we inspect. Our team uses advanced video camera inspection tools to look inside your sewer line in real time. That allows us to accurately locate breaks, clogs, or root invasions.

This technology also means:

  • No unnecessary digging

  • Faster diagnosis

  • Clear visuals to show you what’s wrong

How to Avoid Sewer Problems in the Future

Here are a few tips our Broomfield clients appreciate:

  • Don’t pour grease or oil down the drain.

  • Avoid flushing wipes, paper towels, or hygiene products.

  • Have your sewer line inspected every few years—especially in older homes.

  • Add root-killing treatments if you have large trees near your main line.

And if something still goes wrong—call Big Apple Plumbing LLC before the damage spreads.

Another great job from Big Apple. Disraeli was here ahead of schedule and re-plumbed the hack job the previous owners had done on the kitchen sink in no time, finishing ahead of schedule. He was courteous, professional, personable, and didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need. Jason and his team at Big Apple are my go to guys!

Jason with Big Apple Plumbing was able to make it out to our house next day for a main line blockage and helped us clear out the line. He was honest, straightforward, and walked me through every step of the process while I observed him work for over an hour. We’ll definitely be hiring him again for any plumbing needs in the future.

Excellent experience all around! Jason scheduled my appointment which was quick and easy and even had a same-day opening! Gabriel showed up and was incredibly pleasant, kind, and clearly knowledgeable of his craft. He was a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to talk to. He walked me through the entire process and addressed any concerns and questions I had before he began working. He allowed me to watch him work (he offered, and who doesn't want to watch a camera run down some pipes underground?) and filled me in on everything he was seeing and what was or wasn't good (thankfully it was all good). I appreciate the ease and the friendly confident service.

We used Big Apple Plumbing to do our sewer line replacement and we were very happy with the work that was done. Jason was very quick to respond to our initial request for a 2nd opinion and sewer scope. He talked us through all of our options and patiently answered all of our questions. The actual work to replace the sewer line was completed extremely quickly and with super minimal impact to our yard, which we really appreciated!

This company is as good as it gets! The owner Jason came out himself replaced my leaking water heater same day! He was very friendly and absolutely loved our dog. We have had some poor experiences in the past with plumbers but this by far was the best experience we have ever had with a plumber. I recommend this company and will only use them for future plumbing needs. Thanks Jason!
