Plumbers Englewoodians Trust
Since much of Englewood was built before the 1960s, a lot of the area’s pipes are nearing the end of their lifespans. Add to that harder-than-usual water here, too (as high as 250 ppm in some parts of the city), and you have the perfect storm for a lot of plumbing problems.
We’ve been working in these homes since 2012. We know what we’re walking into before we even open your door.
Signs You Need a Plumber in Englewood
Keep a lookout for these signs:
- Water pressure that’s noticeably lower than it used to be
- Drains that are slow, even after you’ve cleaned them out
- Water with a bad taste, smell, or color
- A water heater that’s making popping or rumbling sounds
- Wet spots on the ceiling, walls, or floor with no obvious source
- A water bill that’s crept up without any change in your habits
- More than one drain is backing up at the same time
- White or chalky buildup on your faucets and fixtures
If any of those sound familiar, give us a call.
Plumbing Services in Englewood, CO
We handle all kinds of residential plumbing. Small fix or major plumbing repair, our team shows up stocked and ready to get it done.
Drain Cleaning
Slow drains are probably our most common call. In Englewood, they’re actually more common than elsewhere. The metro area’s hard water speeds up mineral scale buildup, meaning drains run slowly, clogs can come back to haunt you, and fixtures look dirty no matter how much you clean them.
We clear the blockage and flush the line. For stubborn, returning clogs, you might want to invest in hydro jetting. It cleans the inside of the pipe with high-pressure water rather than just punching a hole through the clog.
Water Heater Repair and Installation
Have you had an unexpected cold shower, not realizing your water heater failed overnight? Again, you can blame hard water on quite a lot of water heater problems. Those minerals build up in the tank, making it work harder and cutting years off the lifespan.
We repair both tank and tankless systems, and if replacement is the smarter move, we’ll tell you that too.
Leak Detection and Repair
Some leaks make themselves known right away. Others work behind the scenes, slowly dripping and driving up your water bill. Before you know it, there’s a burst pipe or wet spots on your floor, walls, and ceiling. Colorado’s climate causes soil to shrink and shift with the seasons, which puts real stress on underground pipes and opens up cracks that can leak slowly for a long time before anyone notices.
We use non-invasive tools to detect the leak before we open anything up. That means a cleaner, faster repair and a lot less collateral damage to your home.
Sewer Line Services
Older Englewood sewer lines were built with clay pipes. It holds up for a long time, but clay does degrade. Tree roots are especially good at finding the smallest crack and working their way in. By the time you’ve got multiple drains backing up or you’re hearing gurgling sounds after you flush, the problem’s usually been building for a while.
For sewer lines, we run a camera down the line to see exactly what we’re dealing with (root intrusion, pipe separation, heavy buildup, or collapse) before we recommend anything.
Water Line Repair and Repiping
If your home is old enough, it likely still has the original galvanized pipe or a lead service line coming in from the street. Englewood Utilities’ Lead Reduction Program covers the line from the water main to just inside your home, but everything from the curb stop inward is your responsibility as the homeowner.
We handle water line repairs and full repiping for older homes in Englewood. Not sure what you’ve got? We’ll take a look and give you a clear picture.
Sump Pump Services
Englewood doesn’t get a lot of rain, but snowmelt off the Rockies can roll in fast and put a lot of water into the ground in a short stretch of time. If your basement has ever taken on water, or if you want to be proactive about never letting that happen, a working sump pump is cheap insurance. We install, repair, and test them.
Kitchen and Bathroom Plumbing
Dripping faucet, running toilet, garbage disposal that gave up the ghost; we take care of all kitchen and bathroom plumbing. These are seemingly minor issues that are easy to live with until they’re not, and they have a way of getting worse the longer they sit unattended. Our trucks come loaded with parts, so we’re not making a second trip.
Water Filtration and Softeners
Englewood’s water has a bit of a reputation. The city has been making strides: hardness has actually dropped from around 250 ppm a few years ago to closer to 150 now. But it’s still on the hard side. You’ll usually notice it in the white film on your shower door, the spots on your dishes, the way your skin feels after a shower, and the shortened lifespan of anything that water runs through. A water softener or whole-home filter takes care of it at the source. We install and service both.
Gas Line Services
Don’t ever attempt gas line work on your own. It has to be done by a licensed plumber. We are. Whether you’re adding a gas appliance, extending a line, or have a concern about an existing one, we do it right and by code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions we hear from Englewoodians about plumbing.
How fast can you get to my home in Englewood?
For emergencies, we aim to be there within a couple of hours. For regular appointments, same-day and next-day slots are usually available. Call us, and we’ll find something that works for your schedule.
My water heater is 11 years old, but still works. Should I replace it?
It depends, but it’s worth considering. Tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, and in Englewood, hard water tends to lower that range. We can come take a look and give you an honest read on how much runway it’s got left.
