Severance sits northeast of Windsor in Weld County and is one of the fastest-growing towns we serve: its population rose about 53% between 2020 and 2025. With so many new homes, Severance sewer problems are mostly about how and where young lines were laid, not about old pipe wearing out. We inspect, repair and replace sewer and water service lines across Severance.

Call nowSeverance homes, by the numbers
About 11,841 people live in Severance (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2025 estimate). The median home was built in 2014, and 69% of homes were built in 2010 or later. Only about 3% date from before 1980 (ACS 2024 5-year estimates).
What goes wrong with young sewer lines
Severance lines are mostly PVC, so roots and corrosion are rarely the story. Instead, look for:
- Bellies. Backfill that settles drags the pipe down and leaves a low spot where waste collects. Lining cannot fix a belly; that section has to be re-laid at the right slope.
- Separated joints. Ground movement can pull a joint apart, letting soil and water in.
- Construction leftovers. Debris left in a line during the build can catch waste for years.
- Damage from later projects. Fences, patios, sprinkler systems and landscaping can hit lines that were not located first.
- Expansive soil. The Colorado Geological Survey calls expansive soil the state’s most significant geologic hazard and lists sewer lines among the things it damages.
A camera inspection tells us which of these you are dealing with, and many are fixed with one targeted excavation rather than a full replacement.
Who provides sewer service in Severance
The Boxelder Sanitation District serves portions of Severance. It has provided sewer service since 1965 and maintains about 100 miles of sewer lines across parts of Fort Collins, Windsor, Severance, Timnath and unincorporated Larimer and Weld counties. We have not confirmed how the Town of Severance or the district divides responsibility for service lines, so we confirm with your provider before any work. Nearby, Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor and Berthoud each assign the line from the house to the main to the property owner.
New home, warranty and resale
If your home is still under the builder’s warranty, check what it covers before paying for a repair, and keep the camera video as evidence. If you are buying a resale home, schedule a sewer scope during your inspection period, because a sag or a separated joint does not show from the yard. About sewer scopes.
Clearing, repairing or replacing
Not every slow drain in a new home means digging. Construction debris or a buildup in a sound line can often be cleared with hydro jetting once the camera shows the pipe is intact. A separated joint or a short sag usually needs one small excavation at the spot the locator marks. Only a line with several problems along its length tends to justify a full replacement. Your written quote lays out each option that will work.

Severance FAQ
Who handles sewer service in Severance?
The Boxelder Sanitation District serves portions of Severance. Check your utility bill to see which provider serves your address, since its rules govern repairs and inspections.
Is my sewer line covered if my Severance home is new?
Possibly, by the builder’s warranty, depending on its terms and the home’s age. In the nearby systems we have checked, the utility does not repair the private service line, so start with the warranty and a camera inspection.
How do I know if my sewer line has a belly?
Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling and clogs that return soon after clearing are the usual signs. Only a camera confirms it: the video shows water standing in the low section, and the locator marks where and how deep it is.
