Emergency
Sewage & Septic Backup Cleanup Loveland, CO
A septic system that cannot drain - frozen lines, thawing ground - sends water back to the lowest drain in the building. It is sewage whatever it looks like. Water that came back through a drain is handled as sewage whatever it looks like. On a septic property the system has to be carrying water away again before the building is used, or the backup repeats.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Loveland house left for spring break still get frozen pipes?
Yes. Normal nights stay below freezing into April here. A house left with its heat off in March can meet a hard frost, especially in older homes with plumbing on outside walls. Keeping the thermostat at a moderate setting until nights warm up prevents it.
Which Loveland homes have the most exposed plumbing?
The oldest ones, where pipes were added after construction along exterior walls, under floors and through additions. Newer houses keep most lines inside heated space. In a cold snap, keeping the heat steady in rooms with exposed plumbing matters most.
What should a Loveland apartment tenant do before leaving for a week in January?
Keep the heat on at a moderate setting, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and let the landlord know. January brings the coldest nights here, and a leak in an empty unit usually reaches the neighbors first. Knowing where the unit's water shutoff is also helps.
