Littleton homes and their sewer lines
Downtown Littleton and the streets around Main Street have homes from the early 1900s. Much of the city's housing went up in the 1950s through 1970s: brick ranches and split-levels with basements, many under large trees planted when the neighborhoods were new. Areas toward Ken Caryl and the southwest, and the Highlands Ranch edge, are mostly newer with PVC lines.
Littleton's mailing addresses cover more ground than the city itself, including unincorporated areas served by different sanitation districts. Your district's name is on your sewer bill.
Littleton drain problems
Mature trees in the 1950s to 1970s neighborhoods mean roots in clay joints, the most common reason a Littleton main line keeps backing up. Root cutting in Littleton followed by a camera look shows whether it's one joint or a failing lateral.
Brick ranches often have basement laundry and a floor drain near the sewer outlet, so that's where backups appear. Kitchen grease and wipes round out the calls.
Call if you notice
- A basement floor drain rising during laundry
- Yearly main line backups under big trees
- Slow drains throughout a brick ranch
- Sewer smell from a dry basement drain
- Roots on the drain cable
