Clog Removal in Lyons, CO
About half of Lyons homes were built since 2000 and it's dry most of the year, so a clog here is almost always something that went down the drain, while the older houses near downtown face roots.

What Shapes Clogs in Lyons
Local numbers that matter for drains here, each with its source.
Toilet clogged and the house is only a few years old?
The typical Lyons home dates to 2000, by Census estimates, with about 49% built in 2000 or later and about 82% detached. Newer PVC drains don't scale up or crack easily, so a clog in a newer Lyons house is usually wipes, paper, grease or a kid's toy.
A few tries with a flange plunger is fine. If water rises or a second drain gurgles, stop and call for a snake.

Older house near downtown and roots in the line?
About 16% of Lyons homes went up before 1940. Those older houses can have clay or cast iron laterals, and trees along the old streets send roots into the joints.
If you're clearing the same clog every few months, ask for a root cutting and a camera inspection.

Sewer bill going up, and the toilet keeps running?
The Town of Lyons runs its own wastewater plant, and its water and sewer rate study raised sewer rates by more than water rates to cover sewer costs. A toilet that runs after a partial clog costs more here than it used to.
Have the clog cleared and the flapper checked so you're not paying for water that just runs down the drain.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Lyons
Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.
- Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
- Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
- If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
