Frozen drain

Drain stopped overnight in the cold?

Why it happens in Nederland

The Boulder 14 W station records about 244 nights a year at or below freezing. In homes with drains in crawl spaces or outside walls, a frozen line acts just like a clog.

What to try, and when to call us

Never pour boiling water or chemicals into a frozen drain. That can crack the pipe. A plumber can find the frozen section, thaw it safely, and check whether the pipe split.

Toilet gurgling when the shower drains?

What causes it in Nederland

Census figures place the median Nederland build year at 1978, and about 90% of homes are detached. Many sit on rocky lots with long, shallow laterals. Grease and wipes clog them, and frost can shift them so a joint sags and holds debris.

What you can do right now

A gurgling toilet while the shower runs means air is being pushed past a clog in the main line. It needs a cable, and sometimes a camera to find a sag.

Whose line

Town plant or your lateral?

Why Nederland homes see this

The Daily Camera reported the opening of Nederland's $3.8 million wastewater plant on the banks of Barker Reservoir. The town runs its Wastewater Treatment Facility at (303) 258-3088 and bills sewer per 1,000 gallons.

When to stop and call

Call the town for a problem in the street main. A clog in your house or your lateral is yours, and a plumber clears it.

What to Do While You Wait in Nederland

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
