Home plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
Heater trouble gets sorted by phone first. A plumber can repair a tank or tankless unit, swap out a failed one or put a new one where you need it.
Drain cleaning
Bath, kitchen and basement drains that have stopped get cleared by the plumber. When one backs up for the second time, a camera lowered into the pipe finds the cause.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Water that disappears from your bill or shows up in a floor needs tracing. We find the leak, whether it is in a wall, under a slab or in the yard line.
Sewer line repair
We send plumbers for camera inspections, root clearing, spot repairs and full lateral replacement, covering the line from the house out to the sewer main.
Repiping and water lines
Pipes at the end of their life come out and new ones go in, whether that means a single bathroom, the entire house or the line between meter and home.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Our plumbers fix the small stuff that wears on a home, such as a toilet that runs, a faucet that drips, a shower valve that fails and a disposal that jams.
Homes built before 1980
The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey puts the median Lakewood home at 1977. About 57 percent of the homes in the city were built before 1980, which is close to 6 in every 10.
Around 17 percent date from before 1960. Age alone does not tell you what is behind a wall, so a plumber checks the lines in your own house before suggesting a repair.
The lateral under the street in north Lakewood
In north Lakewood the City runs the sewer system, which serves about 8,000 accounts. There, the property owner maintains the whole lateral, the pipe that carries wastewater from the house to the main under the street.
The upkeep reaches past your property line. Other parts of Lakewood have other sewer providers, so the rule at your address can differ. Call us with your address and we help you sort out where the pipe stops being yours.
Backflow devices and sewer relief valves
The City says a sewer lateral should include a backflow prevention device. It calls the device an industry best practice, and the Colorado Plumbing Code requires one for some properties.
The same guidance names a sewer relief valve with a cleanout. If you do not know whether your lateral has either, ask us when you call.
151 freezing days a year
Compare the seven towns on our list and Lakewood comes out coldest by one measure. Its thermometer reads 32°F or lower on about 151 days each year (Daymet, 2015 to 2024), with January lows averaging 19°F.
Garage pipes, crawl-space lines and outside walls take the cold first, along with any outdoor faucet. It helps to know where your main shutoff is before a hard freeze arrives.

Repair and inspection
The plumber does the work. A water heater replacement carries a permit and an inspection by the local authority under Colorado rules.
Free plumbing tools
Five free tools are here if you want answers before phoning. Pick a tank with the size calculator, check what a tankless unit must deliver with the tankless flow calculator, or learn how old your heater is with the serial number decoder. To see how a cold night treats your pipes, use the freeze risk checker. The sewer line age checker covers what may lie under an older house.
Frequently asked questions
Does my plumber need a license?
Yes. Colorado requires a state license to work as a residential, journeyman or master plumber. Before work starts, check two things. The first is the Colorado license number, and the second is its status on the State Plumbing Board lookup, run by the Division of Professions and Occupations.
Do I own the sewer pipe out to the street?
In north Lakewood, where the City provides sewer service, yes. Owners there maintain the whole lateral, from the house to the main under the street. Other parts of Lakewood have other sewer providers, so confirm which one serves you.
Is there a form to fill out?
There is no online form here, only the phone. Ring the number on this page, explain what is wrong and where the home is, and a free quote comes with no obligation.
Does the freeze checker cover Lakewood?
Yes. Choose Lakewood or one of the six other towns in the picker, then say where your pipes run. The result combines that spot with the town’s January low.
