Sewer Line Replacement in Bennett, CO

The Town of Bennett runs its own sewer and Water Resource Recovery Facility, so a sewer line replacement here covers the private pipe from your house to the Town's sewer. Since much of Bennett's housing is newer, the problem is often a single section rather than the whole line. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Bennett.

What happens when you call

You'll be connected with an independent local plumber who works in Bennett. The plumber will ask which drains back up, how often the line has been cleared and how old the home is. Before quoting a replacement, expect a camera inspection to locate the damage, identify the pipe material and see whether the line has lost its slope.

The Town of Bennett Building Department reviews permit applications and performs inspections from 207 Muegge Way, (303) 644-3249. The Town enforces the 2024 International Codes, including the plumbing code, so new work is reviewed under those rules. The plumber will normally file the permit and schedule the inspection.

Bennett's sewer and housing

The Town operates its own Water Resource Recovery Facility, which came online in November 2018. For sewer questions, Bennett Public Works is at 303.644.3249 extension 1014, and it's the call to make if neighbors are backing up as well. The Town's pages we reviewed don't spell out where its sewer responsibility ends and yours begins, so ask before work is priced. Keep in mind that the 80102 ZIP code also covers unincorporated Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert County land outside town limits, where Town sewer may not apply; check your bill.

Bennett is a small eastern-plains town on the I-70 corridor with a large share of homes built since 2000. The median home was built in 2000 and about 27% predate 1980, according to ACS 2019-2023 estimates. Newer homes generally have plastic sewer pipe, and when it fails, the cause is usually soil settling after construction, a poorly bedded joint or later digging. Older homes are more likely to have clay or cast iron that has worn along its length.

Sewer Line Replacement questions in Bennett

Why would a fairly new home need its sewer line replaced?

Much of Bennett was built after 2000, and plastic sewer lines in newer homes usually fail from soil settling after construction, a poorly bedded joint or later digging.

How do I find out which district handles sewer at my address?

Check your bill. The Town of Bennett provides sewer inside town limits; the 80102 ZIP code also covers unincorporated land where Town service may not apply.

Who issues the permit for a sewer line replacement here?

The Town of Bennett Building Department at 207 Muegge Way, (303) 644-3249. It enforces the 2024 International Codes.

How does a plumber decide between repairing a sewer line and replacing it?

A camera inspection shows whether there's one sag or break or damage along the whole line. In newer Bennett homes, a section repair is often enough.
