About On A Budget Rooter
Tom Rivas started On A Budget Rooter to give Delta County homeowners straight answers and steady work on every job. Operating from the shop at 1575 F Lane, he covers calls from Downtown Delta out to Cedaredge and Orchard City, where older homes and newer builds both sit on the same high desert valley ground.
Hot summers and sharp winter freezes shift the ground and stress lines, so crews here learn to watch for the exact spots where clay soils hold moisture or where older cast-iron stacks crack under the cold. Tom keeps the truck stocked for those conditions and answers the phone himself so the person who shows up is the one who took the call.
The crew works the same neighborhoods year after year, which means they already know the typical pipe layouts in these blocks and can give clear upfront quotes before any digging starts.
I grew up in Delta and started On A Budget Rooter after years of fixing pipe issues in the older housing stock around Downtown Delta and near the Delta County Museum. The high desert valley climate means hot summers that stress water lines and cold winters that bring frozen pipes, especially on the routes between here, cedaredge, and orchard city. I opened the doors to give neighbors straight-up service from our spot at 1575 F Lane without the big-company markups.

What Delta, CO Customers Say
“The main sewer line at our place near the Gunnison River backed up after a rainstorm and sent water into the laundry room. They ran a camera down the cleanout, found cottonwood roots, and cleared the line with a power rooter. The basement stayed dry through the next storm.”
“Our kitchen sink on the east side of town kept clogging from grease and coffee grounds. They snaked the line from the yard cleanout, then flushed it with a jetter. Dishes now drain in seconds instead of backing up into the disposal.”
“The toilet in the hall bath at our house off 7th Street wouldn't flush after the kids flushed wipes. They pulled the toilet, ran a 50-foot auger through the branch line, and reset it with new wax. It flushes strong and no more slow drains.”
