Sewer backing up: city or district?
Why it happens in Florence
The Fremont Sanitation District says it was formed in 1983 to provide sanitary sewer service in Cañon City, Florence and some surrounding areas. The City of Florence runs the water department.
What to try, and when to call us
A problem in the sewer main goes to the district. A clog in the line from your house is the owner's to clear.

Roots in the sewer line in a dry town?
What causes it in Florence
The Cañon City station nearby averages only about 12 inches of precipitation a year. In dry ground, tree roots go looking for moisture, and a cracked lateral is an easy source.
What you can do right now
Slow drains that come back every year or two are a classic root sign. A plumber can cut them and show you the crack on camera.

Mobile home drain keeps clogging?
Why Florence homes see this
About 9% of Florence homes are mobile homes. Their drain lines are smaller and run under the floor with shallow slope, so they clog sooner.
When to stop and call
Check that the pipes under the skirting haven't sagged. A short auger usually clears them.
