Why Sewage Backs Up in Greenwood Village & Centennial Basements
Private service lines are the owner's
Highlands Ranch Water says plumbing problems on private property are the homeowner's responsibility, and in a sewer emergency advises calling a plumber first to check the sanitary service line. In Denver, the city is responsible only for the main public sewers, so a blocked private line is the owner's to repair.
Floodwater through basement floor drains
When creeks and gulches run high after intense rain, storm and sewer flows can back up through floor drains and low fixtures. That water is contaminated, and anything porous it touches has to be removed.
Main line and water emergencies
Parker Water and Sanitation District takes main break and water emergency calls on its own emergency line, and Highlands Ranch Water staffs its emergency line around the clock. If the problem is in the street main, the utility handles it. Once sewage is inside the home, we handle the cleanup.

Signs You Need Sewage Cleanup, and What To Do First
- Water or waste coming up through a basement floor drain, toilet, or shower
- Gurgling drains or toilets when another fixture runs
- Several drains in the house running slow at the same time
- A sewage odor in the basement or near floor drains
- Wet carpet or drywall near a floor drain after rain
- Standing water around a cleanout or the base of a toilet
Keep children, pets, and anyone with a weakened immune system away from the area. Stop using water in the house, turn off power to the basement if it is safe, and do not try to clean sewage with a household vacuum or mop. Call (303) 214-0195 and a plumber if the line itself needs to be cleared.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how far the sewage spread, how long it sat, and what it touched. Porous materials that sewage contacts are removed, not cleaned. Hard surfaces such as concrete and tile are cleaned and disinfected. We list each material and room in a written scope for your adjuster.
A contained backup in an unfinished basement can often be cleaned and dried in two to four days. A finished basement with flooring, drywall, and contents takes longer, followed by rebuilding. We do not rebuild until readings confirm the structure is dry.
What We Restore After a Sewage Backup
- Finished and unfinished basements
- Carpet, pad, and flooring
- Drywall and insulation
- Framing and sill plates
- Laundry and utility rooms
- Bathrooms
- HVAC equipment near the floor
- Contents stored in the basement
Insurance and Documentation for Sewage Cleanup
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on sewage losses, with photos, a written scope, and communication with your adjuster on your behalf. Many homeowner policies cover sewer or drain backup only with a specific endorsement, and surface flooding is usually separate, so check your policy for backup coverage before you need it.
