Home plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
A heater that leaks, runs cold or has stopped heating can be repaired or swapped for a new tank or tankless unit. We also set up heaters in new spots.
Drain cleaning
Sinks and tubs that empty slowly, laundry standpipes and a main line that backs up all get cleared, and a camera goes in when the cause stays hidden.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A wet spot, a sagging ceiling or a water bill that does not add up can point to a hidden leak. We find it in the wall, under the slab or in the yard line.
Sewer line repair
Footage from a camera comes first on a sewer line. A plumber then cuts roots, fixes the damaged stretch or replaces the pipe, depending on what the camera found.
Repiping and water lines
Swap the supply pipes for PEX or copper through the whole house or one wing of it. If the line from the meter pit has worn out, a new water service line can go in too.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Got a toilet that will not stop running, a faucet that drips, a shower valve stuck open or a disposal that jams? We connect you with a plumber who repairs it or fits a new one.
Permit first, then the water heater
In Arvada the City requires permits and inspections for water heater replacements and new installations to be approved and issued before work can start.
Contractors can apply through the City’s online portal if they hold an active Arvada license. A homeowner applies at the Building Safety Division in City Hall instead. Colorado also leaves water heater replacement to a licensed plumber working for a registered plumbing contractor.
From the meter pit to your foundation
Arvada splits the water service line in two. The City owns the stretch from its main to the meter pit. You own the rest, from the meter pit to the foundation of your home.
So the pipe between the pit and the house is yours to maintain, and a plumber can trace a leak along it and repair it.
Galvanized lines and the City program
Half of Arvada’s homes went up in or before 1979, and 53 percent predate 1980. The City’s service line program targets lead lines and galvanized lines from before 1960.
The City prohibits lead lines and galvanized lines from before 1960 in its water system. Its early-2025 inventory found zero lead lines and a few galvanized ones. If your property is affected, the City will help replace the line at no cost to you through 2026.
Water from two reservoirs
Arvada’s drinking water comes from two surface water sources. One is Ralston Reservoir, which Denver Water’s North System fills. The other is Arvada Reservoir.
The City treats that water at two plants. From the meter pit onward, the pipes belong to you.
Our process
Tell us what is wrong
Call, say what is wrong, such as a heater that has quit or a bath that has lost pressure, and give your address. We pair you with a plumber who fits the job.
Get your free quote
You get a free, personalized quote on the phone before anything starts. Ask whatever you like about the work.
Permit and repair
Ask the plumber whether a permit applies to your job. For a water heater, the permit is approved and issued before work starts, as the City requires.
Free plumbing tools
A heater that is wearing out raises two questions, what size and how old. The size calculator and the tankless flow calculator answer the first, and the serial number decoder answers the second. Two more tools cover a winter pipe through the freeze risk checker and the lateral under your yard through the sewer line age checker.
Frequently asked questions
Does a plumber need a state license?
Yes. Colorado requires a state license for plumbers at the residential, journeyman and master levels. Its State Plumbing Board sits inside the Division of Professions and Occupations.
Who owns the water line from the street?
You own the part from the meter pit to your foundation. The City of Arvada owns the section from its main to the pit. A leak on either side changes who fixes it.
Do I need to book online?
No. Nothing needs filling in. Ring us with the address and what has gone wrong, and the quote costs you nothing and carries no obligation.
When do Arvada pipes need freeze protection?
Pipes freeze when it gets to 32°F or below, which Arvada sees about 141 days a year, with January lows near 20°F. Protect garage, crawl space and exterior wall lines first.
