Regular Sewer Line Inspection

Why Regular Sewer Line Inspections Save Municipalities Thousands

Maintaining underground infrastructure is one of the most critical and often overlooked responsibilities of municipalities. Sewer lines, manholes, and stormwater systems play a vital role in public health, environmental safety, and urban development. When these systems fail due to neglect or undetected damage, the consequences can be severe and costly.

At DRC Construction, we specialize in pipeline and manhole inspection, cleaning, and rehabilitation across Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, Vail, Salt Lake City, and St. George. Through our work with municipalities and commercial clients, we’ve seen firsthand how regular sewer inspections can help prevent emergencies and save thousands if not millions of dollars in the long run.

The High Cost of Reactive Repairs

Waiting until a sewer line backs up or collapses can lead to:

• Emergency excavation and repair costs

• Property damage and liability claims

• Fines for environmental contamination

• Service disruptions and public dissatisfaction

In many cases, these emergencies stem from issues that could have been identified much earlier—root intrusion, corrosion, blockages, or infiltration from groundwater.

Preventative Maintenance Through CCTV Inspections

Our CCTV sewer inspections are a powerful tool for assessing the internal condition of pipelines without digging. This technology allows us to identify structural issues, debris buildup, or infiltration before they escalate.

By scheduling inspections on a regular basis, municipalities can:

• Extend the life of their sewer infrastructure

  

• Make informed decisions about rehabilitation or replacement

• Comply with environmental and safety regulations

• Plan budgets more effectively by avoiding surprise failures

Real Savings for Smart Cities

A city that invests in proactive inspection and cleaning can often cut repair costs by up to 70% compared to cities that only respond to emergencies. Routine maintenance also reduces the risk of major environmental incidents, saving not only money but also reputation and public trust.
