The Aurora Highlands, Aurora · 80019
Aurora Highlands drain service for brand-new homes with new-build problems
The Aurora Highlands is some of the newest housing in the metro, and new pipe fails in ways old pipe never does: construction debris, uncompacted backfill and settling rather than roots or collapse. Aurora Drainage Service is local and answers 720-779-4946 at any hour.
New construction has its own failure list
Nothing about a house built in the last few years should be failing structurally, and almost never is. The lateral is modern plastic, the joints are solvent-welded, the fittings are correct, and the trees planted on the verge are years away from reaching sewer depth. Root intrusion, collapsed clay and corroded cast iron — the three problems that account for most sewer work in older Denver — simply do not apply out here.
What does apply is everything that happens during and just after construction. Grout, drywall mud, sand and the occasional piece of debris get into open drains during the build and settle at the first low point. Trench backfill compacts unevenly for years afterward. And a brand-new household forms its drain habits from scratch. Aurora Drainage Service cameras every main line it clears in 80019, because on a house this age the footage is genuinely diagnostic rather than confirmatory.
Construction debris is the classic first-year call
Setting compound, thinset and grit poured down an open drain during finishing work hardens where flow slows. It looks like a normal blockage from inside the house but shows up on camera as a solid deposit at a fixed distance.
Why jetting rather than cabling
A cable bores through hardened debris and leaves the rest bonded to the pipe wall. Jetting shears the deposit off and flushes it clear, which on a new line is the difference between one visit and four.
Worth knowing before your warranty ends
If the camera shows a defect that traces back to installation, that is a builder conversation. Footage with a recorded distance is the only version of that conversation that gets taken seriously.
Settling in freshly disturbed ground
The soil out here is expansive and the trenches are recent. Where backfill was not compacted to the density of the undisturbed ground around it, a section of lateral can settle into a shallow belly that holds water and drops solids at that low point.
The Aurora Highlands and the 80019 area we cover
We cover the whole of The Aurora Highlands, the adjoining Painted Prairie and High Point developments, the blocks along the Powhaton Road corridor, and out toward the E-470 interchange and the Denver International Airport approach.
This is inside our home city and a straight run east from base. Same-day service is standard even in the newest phases, and overnight emergency calls are handled overnight rather than deferred.
Phased developments and moving addresses
In active build areas, street names and access routes change between phases. Give us the nearest completed cross street when you call and we will find you without a delay hunting for a road that is not on a map yet.
What Aurora Highlands homeowners call about
Kitchen branch jetting is the most common request, followed by main line clearing where debris or settling is suspected, followed by camera inspections for owners who want documented evidence of a problem while a builder warranty is still live.
We also get called for basement and lower-level fixtures, which in these floor plans are the first to show any restriction downstream. A gurgling floor drain in a house this new is worth a camera run rather than a plunger.
Habits set the trajectory in a new house
A modern lateral will comfortably outlive its owners if grease stays out of the sink and wipes stay out of the toilet. The homes we return to repeatedly in new developments are almost always the ones where those two things went the other way.
Document early, argue later
If your line has a defect from installation, the cheapest time to discover it is now. Camera footage with a distance mark and a written summary is what turns a warranty claim from a dispute into a work order.
How the appointment runs in 80019
Call 720-779-4946 and a person answers at any hour. We take the symptom, the address or nearest cross street, and an access note, then give an arrival window we can hold. Price is confirmed on site before equipment comes off the truck.
We restore flow first, then camera the line and walk the footage with you on the monitor with distances marked. HD inspection is included with main line clearing and the recording is yours to keep or send to a builder.
Access on a new-build lot
New homes have correctly placed exterior cleanouts, which keeps the entire job outside the house. On narrow new-development frontage we plan truck positioning ahead of arrival.
Nothing carried across new finishes
Working from the exterior cleanout means no equipment crosses new flooring at all, which in a house this age matters to most owners more than the invoice does.
Recording the exact defect distance
If footage shows a belly or a debris deposit, the recorded distance means any repair is one precise excavation rather than a search across a new lawn.
Open-plains weather and the seasonal pattern out east
There is no mature tree cover on this side of Aurora, so the ground bakes dry through summer and takes water on quickly during spring storms. The swing is more severe than in the sheltered older parts of the metro, and it is the reason settling continues for years after a development is finished.
The result is a spring peak of main line calls as saturated ground moves and marginal sections deepen, and a winter peak of kitchen line calls as grease sets faster against cold pipe. Both are easier and cheaper handled as scheduled visits than as emergencies.
Keep new irrigation off the sewer run
New landscaping means new sprinkler layouts, and a zone that soaks the ground directly over the lateral keeps that soil unstable exactly while it is trying to settle. Position the heads a few feet clear from the start.
Clear pricing for The Aurora Highlands
Price depends on which line is affected, cleanout accessibility, whether the job needs cabling or hydro jetting, and the time of day. You approve the number before anything begins, and camera inspection is included with main line clearing.
If footage shows a defect that belongs to the builder rather than to you, we will say so plainly and give you the documentation to pursue it. Aurora Drainage Service answers 720-779-4946 all day and all night.

Aurora Highlands drain and sewer questions, answered
Do you serve The Aurora Highlands and 80019?
Yes, including Painted Prairie, High Point and the Powhaton corridor out toward E-470 and the airport. It is inside our home city, so same-day service is standard.
My house is brand new. Why is the drain already blocked?
In new construction the usual causes are grout, thinset or grit that entered open drains during the build, or a section of pipe that settled in uncompacted backfill. Neither means your pipe is defective, and both are visible on camera.
Should I involve my builder?
If the camera shows an installation defect or a belly in a line this new, yes. Bring them footage with the recorded distance and a written summary — that is what gets a warranty claim actioned rather than debated.
Do new Aurora homes need root cutting?
No. Sealed plastic joints give roots no entry point and the landscaping out here is years from sewer depth. Root cutting quoted on a new 80019 lateral without footage showing roots should be questioned.
Can you find my address if my street is still under construction?
Yes. Give us the nearest completed cross street when you call and we will route to you directly. We run 24 hours on 720-779-4946.
Is there a drain cleaning company near me that covers Aurora Highlands the same day?
Same-day service is the standard for Aurora Highlands, not an upsell. Call 720-779-4946, describe which fixtures are backing up, and we will slot you into the day's route. If the whole house is affected we treat it as an emergency and move you to the front.
What does drain cleaning near me cost in Aurora Highlands?
Pricing depends on the line, not on the hour of day. A single fixture drain is the lightest job, a main sewer line with root cutting and camera inspection is the heaviest, and we quote before work starts. Nothing is added for nights, weekends or holidays — see the pricing page for typical ranges.
Do you charge extra for a 24 hour call-out to Aurora Highlands?
No. The rate at midnight on a Sunday is the rate at 10 AM on a Tuesday. Emergency drain work in Aurora Highlands is priced by the job, and we tell you the number before anyone starts, so a 24 hour plumber does not have to mean a surprise invoice.
Do you handle emergency drain cleaning service for Aurora Highlands businesses too?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, laundromats and multi-unit buildings in the Aurora Highlands area get the same 24-hour response, including grease-line jetting and shared stacks where one blockage takes several units offline at once.
