Greeley homes and their sewer lines
The neighborhoods around downtown and the University of Northern Colorado have brick homes from the early 1900s through the 1950s, many on clay sewer laterals under cottonwoods and elms. Post-war and 1970s ranches spread west, and much of west Greeley has filled in with newer subdivisions since the 1990s.
Many older homes near campus have been converted to rentals, which brings its own pattern of kitchen and toilet clogs.
Greeley drain problems
Cottonwood and elm roots in clay joints cause most repeat main line backups in central Greeley. Rentals see a steady run of grease and wipe clogs. Open, windy winters make garages and crawlspaces cold enough to freeze drain lines in Greeley, and furnace condensate lines freeze at their outlet.

Greeley drain questions
Why are cottonwood roots such a problem in Greeley?+
Cottonwoods are fast-growing and water-seeking, and many older Greeley streets have both large cottonwoods and clay sewer laterals.
Can my drain freeze in Greeley?+
Yes, in long cold snaps with wind, especially lines in garages, crawlspaces and exterior walls.
Who pays for a clogged drain in a rental?+
Leases differ, but roots and failing pipe in the main are normally the landlord's problem, while a clog from something a tenant flushed may be billed to them.
