Sewer Line Repair and Replacement for Aurora Homes

Many Aurora homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have original clay sewer lines that crack, collapse, or get invaded by tree roots. Two Bears Plumbing specializes in sewer line repair and replacement, including trenchless methods that save your yard. We start with a camera inspection to show you exactly what’s wrong before quoting a flat-rate price. Learn more about sewer line replacement costs in Aurora in our detailed pricing guide.

Why Aurora Sewer Lines Fail

Aurora’s residential building boom in the 1970s and 1980s used clay sewer pipes that were standard at the time. After 40-50 years, these pipes are reaching end-of-life. Common failure modes include:

• Cracking — clay is brittle and cracks under ground shifting
• Root intrusion — tree roots find tiny cracks and grow into the pipe
• Joint separation — connections between pipe sections shift over time
• Collapse — sections of deteriorated pipe cave in completely
• Bellying — ground settling creates low spots where waste collects

Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate all of these problems. The ground expands and contracts with temperature changes, putting stress on rigid clay pipes that PVC handles easily.

Our Sewer Line Repair Process

1. Camera inspection — We run a video camera through your sewer line so you can see exactly what’s wrong. No guessing.
2. Diagnosis and options — We explain what we found and present repair options with upfront pricing.
3. Repair or replacement — We use the method that best fits your situation, whether that’s spot repair, trenchless lining, or full replacement.
4. Final inspection — Camera verification confirms the repair is complete and your line has full flow.

Trenchless vs Traditional Repair

Trenchless repair is our preferred method when the pipe condition allows it. It’s faster, saves your landscaping, and is often less expensive. Methods include pipe lining (CIPP) and pipe bursting.

Traditional excavation is sometimes necessary when pipes are completely collapsed or when access points don’t allow trenchless methods. We minimize yard disruption and restore the affected area.

Clay-to-PVC Upgrades

If your Aurora home still has original clay sewer lines, upgrading to PVC eliminates the root intrusion and cracking problems for good. Modern PVC pipe is rated for 100+ years and is resistant to tree roots, ground shifting, and Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles.
