Sewage backing into your home is a Category 3 biohazard situation that needs to stop. But the right long-term fix โ clearing, trenchless lining, or excavation โ depends on what's causing it. Masters Plumbing Service uses push-rod CCTV cameras in Bailey to find out exactly what you're dealing with before any repair recommendation is made.

The repair method โ clearing, lining, or digging โ should follow from the specific failure documented on camera. We show you that footage before you sign anything.
No legitimate contractor recommends trenchless lining or excavation without camera footage confirming the failure type and location. If someone quotes a sewer repair without a scope, that's a red flag.
For sewer lines with root intrusion, cracked joints, or minor pipe deformation that haven't fully collapsed, CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining installs a structural epoxy sleeve inside the existing pipe without excavation. The liner bonds to the host pipe, seals every joint, and produces a smooth interior surface that resists future root infiltration.
Precise camera locating means we dig where the problem is, not speculatively. We document the repair with post-repair camera footage and restore the excavation site to grade.
This documentation matters for home sales, insurance claims, and warranty enforcement. We provide it as standard practice, not as an add-on.
From a simple root cutting to a full trenchless lining or spot excavation, our sewer crew in Bailey, CO has the equipment and certification to execute.
Tree roots enter sewer lines at joint gaps and grow into substantial obstructions that can completely block flow over time. Our electric root cutter โ a bladed cutting head on a sectional cable machine โ cuts root masses back to the pipe wall, restoring full pipe diameter. We follow with a CCTV re-scope to confirm clearance.
Cured-in-place pipe lining installs a flexible epoxy-saturated felt liner inside the existing pipe. The liner is inverted or pulled into position, inflated against the host pipe, and cured with hot water or steam. The result is a new, jointless pipe inside the old one โ rated for 50+ years of service life.
When pipe sections have fully collapsed, when the pipe grade has reversed (creating a belly that holds standing sewage), or when root intrusion is too severe for lining to hold, traditional excavation is the correct repair. We locate the defect precisely on camera, mark the excavation footprint, call for utility locates, and dig to the pipe depth.
A standalone camera inspection โ without any clearing or repair โ is useful for pre-purchase due diligence, insurance documentation, or understanding why a drain is performing poorly before committing to a repair approach. We run the camera, record footage with distance markers, and provide a written scope report.
Active sewage backup into a structure is an emergency requiring immediate response. We dispatch on an emergency basis, clear the blockage to restore drain function, contain and document the affected area, and schedule the camera scope to assess underlying cause โ either same-day or at the earliest opportunity.
A written maintenance record documenting each cleaning and camera finding is useful evidence for insurance claims and demonstrates proactive maintenance if a catastrophic failure occurs.
Here's how a Masters Plumbing Service sewer line call plays out โ from your first call to a repaired, flowing sewer.
If sewage is actively backing up, we dispatch immediately. If it's a recurring slow drain situation or a pre-purchase scope request, we schedule the earliest available slot. Either way, the first on-site action is accessing the cleanout.
We push the camera from the cleanout and run the full line to the municipal connection or septic tank, recording footage with footage distance markers. Blockage location, pipe material, joint condition, pipe deformation, and grade issues are all documented on the recording.
Based on camera findings, we present the repair options appropriate for what was found โ clearing and maintenance, trenchless lining, spot excavation, or full replacement โ with flat-rate pricing for each. We explain the trade-offs between methods clearly.
Required permits are closed out with the local inspection. You receive camera footage, written scope report, permit inspection sign-off, and warranty documentation.

Had a sewer problem that two other companies cleared without scoping. It backed up again within 8 weeks both times. Masters Plumbing Service scoped before doing anything and found a significant pipe belly at 34 feet holding standing water โ that's why clearing kept failing. They excavated precisely, replaced a 4-foot section, confirmed grade on camera after backfill. No recurrence.
We bought an older home in Bailey and wanted the sewer scoped before closing. Masters Plumbing Service ran the full line, found an offset joint at 58 feet creating a partial obstruction and some root infiltration at three additional joints. Written report in hand, we negotiated a $4,200 repair credit from the sellers before closing. The scope paid for itself many times over.
Tree roots had invaded our sewer line every year for six years. Annual clearing costs were adding up. Masters Plumbing Service scoped, confirmed the root entry points, and lined the 70-foot residential run. No roots at the 18-month re-scope. The liner sealed every joint the roots had been using.

Masters Plumbing Service's sewer line crew serves Bailey and the surrounding Bailey, CO region โ residential and commercial. Camera scopes and emergency clearing available same-day.
