What happens when you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent local plumber who works in Evergreen. Tell them whether you are on Evergreen Metropolitan District sewer or a private onsite system, which drains are affected, and where the cleanout is if you know. On site, the plumber clears the line if it is full, then runs a camera from the cleanout outward, watching the picture live. Defects are measured by distance and located from the surface. On a district connection the camera follows the line toward the main in the street; on a private system it follows the pipe to the tank.

Evergreen conditions

Evergreen is an unincorporated mountain community about 19 miles west of Denver, centered on Evergreen Lake and Bear Creek, with Bergen Park and Hiwan to the north. Inside the Evergreen Metropolitan District, the district maintains the mains, usually in the street, and homeowners are responsible for maintaining and repairing their water and sewer service lines from those mains to the home. For a sewer backup, the district tells customers to call a plumber and the district at 303-674-4112 (option 2 during business hours, option 9 after hours). It also sets standards for service line repairs and requirements for contractors excavating near district infrastructure, so any repair needs to follow district rules.

Outside the district, Jefferson County describes many mountain homes as relying on private wells and private onsite wastewater systems. For those homes, the camera checks the building drain to the tank for roots, cracks, a separated joint or a blockage. It does not evaluate the tank or the leach field; if the pipe is clear and the house still backs up, the problem lies farther along. Steep lots and rocky soil can stress pipe joints anywhere in the area, and tree roots are a constant in the forested setting.
