If your home’s plumbing has slowed down to a crawl, the issue is probably deeper than a simple drain clog.
Sewer blockages can develop gradually over time, eventually causing wastewater to back up into your sinks, tubs, or basement when there is nowhere else for it to go.
Our Denver drain and sewer service team at Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical helps Denver and Centennial homeowners locate, fix, and crush these blockages before they turn into a messy catastrophe. Here’s what you should know and how to help prevent these clogs for yourself!
Most clogs and blockages start out small but will grow steadily until your flow of water is completely restricted and stops. Some of the most common sources include

Colorado’s weather and local conditions can make blockages even more likely. Denver’s freeze-thaw cycles can shift soil and create small misalignments where debris collects. Older neighborhoods often rely on clay or cast iron lines, which may corrode or crack more easily than modern PVC pipes.
