Skerritts sits along the older residential blocks west of Broadway in Englewood, where many homes date to the 1950s and 1960s. These properties often have clay sewer lines that shift when the ground freezes during Arapahoe County winters. Englewood Sewer Pros runs service calls from our Hampden Avenue base into this neighborhood, clearing backups before wastewater reaches basements. Hot semi-arid summers dry the soil, then winter freezes crack joints, letting roots from nearby trees invade lines that slope toward the South Platte drainage.
Access in Skerritts is straightforward along side streets off Hampden and near Cushing Park, but narrow lots and mature landscaping can limit where equipment fits. We stage jetters and cameras on the street and run lines from cleanouts rather than tearing up driveways. Residents between Littleton and Denver see more backups after heavy spring snowmelt because the cold snaps that follow send ground movement through older pipes that were never designed for today’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Sewer Backup Plumber in Skerritts — Local Notes
- •Skerritts homes from the 1950s commonly have 4-inch clay mains that crack when winter ground heaves in Arapahoe County.
- •Mature cottonwoods and elms along Cushing Park edges send roots into sewer lines during the dry months after semi-arid summers.
- •Narrow lots off W Hampden Ave limit truck access, so we often work from street cleanouts rather than backyard excavation.
- •South-facing slopes near Belleview Park direct snowmelt straight into older laterals, increasing backup calls each March.
