Sewer Camera Inspection in Dacono, CO

Who is responsible for the sewer line under my Dacono yard?

You are. Dacono's sewer service comes from St. Vrain Sanitation District, established in 1986, which also serves Firestone, Frederick, parts of Mead and unincorporated Weld County within its boundaries. The district says the building sewer line belongs to the property, not the district. That makes any root intrusion, crack or sag between your house and the district main a private repair. The district does staff a 24-hour line for backups at (303) 776-9570, and that is the call to make if several homes on your street are backing up at the same time, since that points to the main.

What is a camera likely to show in a Dacono home?

Dacono is a small city along I-25 and State Highway 52, settled in 1901 by coal miners and one of the Carbon Valley Tri-Towns with Frederick and Firestone. Its name combines the names of three wives of local mine operators. Today it mixes older homes near the original town and City Hall on Cherry Avenue with newer subdivisions such as Eagle Meadow and development along Ridgeway Boulevard. In older homes, a camera often finds root intrusion at joints or cracked pipe. In newer homes, the more common findings are low spots where trench soil settled, joints that shifted and debris left from construction. Either way, the footage replaces guessing with a clear answer.

What happens if a repair is needed?

Building services in Dacono are contracted to SAFEbuilt through City of Dacono Community Development, and the permit technician can be reached at 303-833-2317. The plumber doing the repair usually handles the permit. Ask for the camera recording and the marked location of any defect before you agree to a repair approach; spot repairs, lining and full replacement each fit different findings, and the footage lets you compare quotes fairly. Water questions, on the other hand, go to the City of Dacono Water Department through City Hall.

Local note

Because St. Vrain Sanitation District serves all three Tri-Towns, Dacono residents get the same answer on responsibility as their neighbors in Frederick and Firestone: the line from the house is yours. If you are buying a home in Dacono, a sewer scope during the inspection period is a sensible way to know what you are taking on.
