About The Drain Check

The Drain Check is a Longmont, Colorado provider earning a 4.0 rating from early reviewers, covering plumbing, septic services, and hydro-jetting. Longmont sits at the edge of Boulder County's rural landscape, where many properties outside the city core rely on private septic systems rather than municipal sewer. The combination of agricultural land, older subdivisions, and newer developments in this part of the Front Range creates real demand for reliable septic and drain care. You can reach them at (970) 744-2210.

Services & Process

The Drain Check handles plumbing repairs, septic system services, and hydro-jetting, which is a high-pressure water cleaning method that clears grease, mineral buildup, and root intrusion from drain and sewer lines without chemical damage to pipes. Septic work includes tank pumping to remove sludge and scum layers, system assessments to check inlet and outlet baffles, and drain field evaluations. The hydro-jetting capability is particularly valuable for properties where line buildup has caused recurring slow drains, offering a more thorough clean than standard snaking.

Service Area

The Drain Check serves Longmont and the surrounding communities throughout Boulder and Weld counties. Nearby areas like Firestone, Mead, Niwot, and Erie are all within reasonable range. Properties along the rural corridors north and east of Longmont, where septic systems are more common than city sewer, are well within their service footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydro-jetting and when is it needed for a septic or drain system?
Hydro-jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to scour the interior walls of pipes, removing grease, scale, and root debris that a standard snake can't fully clear. It's most useful when you're dealing with recurring blockages, slow drains that return quickly after snaking, or lines that haven't been cleaned in many years.
Is The Drain Check able to handle both indoor plumbing and outdoor septic issues?
Yes, having plumbing and septic capabilities under one service call is practical when you're not sure where a problem is originating. A technician can trace a slow drain from the fixture all the way to the septic tank to pinpoint the source accurately.
How do Longmont properties differ from Denver metro homes in terms of septic needs?
Many Longmont properties, particularly those on larger lots or outside the city's sewer service area, depend entirely on private septic systems. Boulder County's soil variation and the proximity to agricultural land also mean drain fields can face different stress than urban properties, making local knowledge valuable.
What's the difference between septic tank pumping and a full septic inspection?
Pumping removes accumulated solids from the tank to restore capacity and prevent overflow into the drain field. A full inspection goes further, checking the tank's structural condition, inlet and outlet baffles, liquid levels, and drain field performance to catch problems before they become failures.
Can hydro-jetting damage old or fragile pipes?
A qualified technician will assess pipe condition before using high-pressure water, and the pressure settings can be adjusted based on pipe material and age. For very old clay or deteriorated cast iron lines, a camera inspection first helps confirm the pipe can handle the process safely.
How do I know if my drain field is failing?
Soggy ground or standing water above the drain field, sewage odors in the yard, and sewage backing up into the house are the most common signs. In colder months, a failing drain field may freeze faster than a healthy one, and grass or vegetation over the area may be unusually lush even in dry conditions.
