# Water Line Inspection in Denver, CO

Identifying the root cause of a Denver plumbing problem is what makes a long-lasting solution possible. When the problem sits several feet underground, video camera inspection is how we see it without digging first.

- Video camera inspection of underground lines.
- Inspection before excavation or demolition.
- Accurate location of the exact excavation spot.
- Residential and commercial property inspection.
- Serving Denver and surrounding metro communities.

## Denver Water Line Inspection

We use video camera inspection to observe underground areas without digging. That reduces the need for excavation and demolition, produces a better understanding of the problem, and saves clients money on the repair that follows.

Attempting to fix a small leak blind often results in more damage. Inspection first means the property is not disrupted for a guess.

- Recurring leaks with no visible source.
- Pressure loss that repairs have not solved.
- An unexplained water bill increase.
- Older lines being evaluated before a purchase or renovation.

## Leak Detection and Water Line Inspection in Denver

Our process begins with a thorough video inspection. Modern camera equipment shows the detail needed to establish a complete understanding of the issue.

By placing a camera inside the pipe and communicating with hand-held radio transmitters, our crews can accurately locate the exact excavation spot rather than opening ground across the property.

## How Water Line Inspection Works

1. **Review the Symptoms** We start with what the property is experiencing and what has already been tried.
2. **Run the Camera** A camera goes into the line to show condition, damage, and obstructions.
3. **Mark the Location** Radio transmitters let us mark the exact point on the surface above the failure.
4. **Explain What We Found** You get a plain explanation of the condition and the repair options that fit it.

## Inspection First Usually Costs Less Overall

An inspection is a small share of a typical underground project, and it routinely prevents unnecessary excavation and unnecessary replacement.

We recommend scope after the camera has been in the line, never from a description alone.

## Frequently asked questions

**What does a water line inspection show?**

Camera inspection shows the condition of the pipe, where damage or obstruction is, and how severe it is, which is what makes an accurate repair recommendation possible.

**Can you inspect without digging?**

Yes. Video camera inspection observes the underground line without excavation, which is the point of doing it before any digging decision.

**Who is responsible for the water service line?**

Denver Water states that property owners are responsible for the service line and meter pit at their service address. That means most underground service line repairs and replacements fall to the property owner, not the utility. Denver Sewer and Water is a private, family owned and operated company. We are not Denver Water or the City and County of Denver.

**Are you Denver Water or the city?**

No. Denver Sewer and Water is a private, family owned and operated company. We are not Denver Water or the City and County of Denver. For utility accounts and billing, contact your local utility directly.

**How do I get started?**

Describe what the property is doing. We will schedule an evaluation, locate and inspect the line, and explain the repair or replacement options before any work is scheduled. Call (720) 935-6221.
