Two kinds of Commerce City housing, one shared problem
The older south side of Commerce City has many modest homes from the middle of the last century. Their drains are often cast iron, their laterals clay or cast iron, and their supply lines may still include galvanized steel. Those materials age in predictable ways: the sewer collects roots and scale, the supply pipe narrows with rust, and a basement floor drain becomes the first place a blockage shows up.
To the north, newer subdivisions have filled in the land around Dick's Sporting Goods Park and past it. Those houses run on PEX and plastic drains, so their calls lean toward water heaters, fixtures and the occasional new construction drain issue. The shared problem across both halves is the sewer: a backed up main line stops a whole household, old or new, until it gets cleared.
Commerce City also has a large base of industrial and commercial buildings. Warehouses, shops and offices need working restrooms, floor drains, water heaters and backflow devices to stay open. Expansive clay soil runs under the whole area, moving buried pipe over the years, and a camera inspection is often the fastest way to see whether a recurring backup is a clog or a broken line.

Keeping Commerce City drains and sewers flowing
- Keep a cleanout clearKnow where your sewer cleanout sits and keep it uncovered. A reachable cleanout lets us clear a main line backup faster and without pulling a toilet.
- Clean shop floor drainsGrit and debris settle in commercial floor drain traps. Flushing them regularly keeps odors down and prevents backups across the floor.
- Do not flush wipesEven wipes labeled flushable snag on rough cast iron and root intrusion points. They are a leading cause of main line backups in older homes.

Questions
Plumbing questions from Commerce City
Why does my Commerce City basement floor drain back up first?
The basement floor drain is usually the lowest opening on your sewer system. When the main line clogs, sewage rises to the lowest point and comes out there. That is a sign the blockage is in the main lateral, not a single fixture, and it needs clearing promptly.
Do you do commercial plumbing in Commerce City's industrial areas?
Yes. We work on restrooms, floor drains, water heaters, backflow devices and water lines in shops, warehouses and offices. We answer 24/7 and can schedule planned work before or after business hours so the building keeps operating.
My Commerce City house is brand new. Why is the drain already clogging?
In new construction, debris from the build sometimes ends up in the drain lines, and a sagging section can form as soil settles. Clearing the line and running a camera through it shows whether it was a one time clog or something your builder should address.
