When a Denver homeowner’s drain line failed beneath the slab, our team stepped in with expert plumbing excavation and repair. See how Done! replaced the damaged pipe, restored proper drainage, and ensured lasting reliability — all with minimal disruption inside the home.
When a home’s main drain line starts backing up or leaking underground, it’s not just inconvenient — it can quickly lead to costly water damage and health hazards. For one Denver homeowner, that’s exactly what happened beneath the slab of their condo unit. As a Done! Care Club member, Dan reached out as soon as the problem surfaced. Our plumbing experts performed a full inspection, confirmed the issue with a sewer camera, and got to work on an interior excavation and drain line replacement that restored flow, safety, and peace of mind.Job Overview
- Location: Glendale Area in Denver, CO
- Scope: Interior drain excavation and line replacement, including pipe removal, installation, and post-camera verification
- Why it mattered: The existing drain line had deteriorated beneath the slab, causing slow drainage and potential leakage. Replacing it prevented future damage and brought the system back to full working order.
What We Found
During the initial camera inspection, the team identified a section of compromised drain line under the home’s concrete floor. The pipe showed significant wear, with sections collapsed or obstructed by buildup that routine snaking couldn’t clear. Because the damage was located beneath the slab, the repair required a controlled interior excavation — a precise and careful process to minimize disruption inside the home.The Solution
Over several days, our plumbers carefully opened the affected section of the floor to access the damaged drain line. The old pipe was removed and replaced with durable, long-lasting piping rated for modern drain flow and code compliance. Once the new line was installed, our crew ran a post-installation camera inspection to confirm the repair’s integrity and proper slope. After passing inspection, the excavation was refilled, and the concrete was restored to its original finish.
The Results
The completed repair eliminated the homeowner’s drainage issues and safeguarded their property from future leaks or backups. With a new, code-compliant drain line and verified camera footage confirming clear flow, this Denver home’s plumbing system is ready for years of reliable use. The project wrapped up cleanly and on time — just another example of Done!’s commitment to quality workmanship and care for every home we service.
