Sewer Camera Inspection in Sedalia, CO

Sedalia Water and Sanitation District says that, despite its name, it does not provide sanitary sewer service, and no other sewer provider was verified for Sedalia. Many homes may therefore drain to private onsite wastewater systems, and a camera inspection can check the pipe from the house for roots, breaks or blockages. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Sedalia.

Does Sedalia have public sewer?

Not from the local district. The Sedalia Water and Sanitation District, formed in 1958 to take over a water system the railroad originally installed, states plainly that it does not provide sanitary sewer service despite its name. It provides water only, to properties within its boundaries. Our research found no other sewer provider for Sedalia. So if you do not pay a sewer bill, your home likely drains to a private onsite wastewater system. If you do pay one, the provider named on it runs the main your line connects to. Either way, your bill is the reliable answer, and Douglas County can help if you are unsure.

What can a camera check if I'm not on sewer?

The pipe between the house and the tank. That building drain can develop the same problems as any sewer line: roots entering at a joint, a crack, a separated coupling, a sag where the ground settled, or a plain blockage. A camera run from a cleanout shows which, at a measured distance, and a locator lets the plumber mark the spot on the surface. What the camera does not do is evaluate the tank or drain field. If the pipe looks clean all the way to the tank and the house still backs up, the problem is farther along and calls for someone who services onsite systems.

Who handles permits for a repair here?

Sedalia is a tiny unincorporated community in northern Douglas County on US 85, about 8 miles northwest of Castle Rock, with a post office dating to 1872. Building permits come from the Douglas County Building Division, and the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations lists Douglas County as running its own county-wide plumbing inspection program, so plumbing is permitted locally rather than by the state. The plumber doing a repair typically applies.

Local note

When you call the number on this page, say whether you pay a sewer bill and which drains are affected. If a toilet gurgles when the tub drains or every drain slows at once, filming the line to the tank is a sensible first step before anyone assumes the onsite system has failed.

Sewer Camera Inspection questions in Sedalia

My home is not on municipal sewer. Is a camera still useful?

Yes, for the pipe from the house to the tank. It finds roots, breaks or blockages there but does not assess the onsite system.

How do I find out which district handles my sewer?

Sedalia Water and Sanitation District does not provide sewer, and no other provider was verified. Check your bill; if there is no sewer charge, you are likely on a private system.

Do I need a permit if the camera finds a broken line?

Plumbing permits in unincorporated Sedalia come through Douglas County's own plumbing inspection program.

Does the drain have to be cleared before the camera goes in?

If water is standing in the pipe, yes, so the camera can see.
