When something goes wrong with the plumbing in a Lafayette home, the first question is usually the same: how soon can someone be out, and what is this going to cost. We handle plumbing repair and installation throughout Lafayette and the surrounding Boulder County area, from a backed-up kitchen drain to a water heater that stopped working overnight.
Call (720) 449-7895 and someone who knows the trade will scope the job with you on the phone, give you a price, and confirm availability before anything is scheduled.
Lafayette is a city where a lot of the housing stock carries real age. Older neighborhoods mean original piping, fittings that have been patched more than once, and supply lines that were sized for a different era. We work across all of it, for homeowners dealing with a recurring leak, for property managers keeping rental units running, and for businesses that cannot afford a plumbing problem to shut down a workday. Every call gets treated like it matters, because it does.
A burst pipe, a sewer backup, or a water heater that went cold overnight does not fit neatly into a scheduled appointment. We take urgent calls every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, including evenings and weekends. When you call about an emergency, the first thing we do is talk through what is happening so you know what to do right now, before anyone arrives. Shutting off the water at the right valve, or knowing whether the drain line is safe to use, can make a real difference while the job is being scheduled.
For rental properties and commercial spaces, a plumbing problem that sits unresolved affects the people inside the building. We work around occupancy where the job allows for it, and we confirm the scope and timing on the call. The price is confirmed before anyone shows up, and the work is completed to the code inspectors in Boulder County enforce.
Right diagnosis. Right repair. Right the first time.
Whether this is your first plumbing repair or your tenth, a kitchen or bathroom renovation is the kind of project where plumbing decisions made early save real money later. Rough-in work, fixture placement, and drain routing all need to be set before tile goes down or walls close up. Getting a plumber involved before the finish trades arrive means the layout works with the plumbing rather than around it.
We handle new bathroom additions, kitchen remodel plumbing, and fixture installation as part of a broader project. That includes coordinating with other trades on the job so the plumbing rough-in is ready when it needs to be. If a renovation involves a gas line connection for a range or a new water heater location, we handle the plumbing side of that as well. Permit and inspection work is part of the process where the scope requires it, and we confirm what applies before anything starts.
The rate is given on the phone, before a visit is booked. What moves a quote is what the fault actually turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A straightforward fixture swap and a leak that has been running inside a wall for weeks are different jobs, and the price reflects that difference once the scope is confirmed.
No-pressure estimates, priced up front. You know what it covers before any work begins, and if something changes once we are into the job, we explain what changed and confirm the updated price before we proceed. Nothing moves forward without your go-ahead.
Homes built before the 1970s often have galvanized steel supply lines. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out over decades, narrowing the pipe diameter and creating weak points at fittings that fail repeatedly. Low water pressure throughout the house, discolored water at the hot faucet, and leaks that come back in the same area are all signs that the pipe material itself is the underlying problem rather than any single fitting.
Cast iron drain lines and older copper with lead-based solder joints are also common in this age of housing. These materials can still perform well, but they require a different approach when repairs or extensions are needed, because modern fittings and connections do not always match what was installed in an earlier era.
A patch or spot repair is appropriate when the surrounding pipe is otherwise sound and the damage is isolated. When the same section has failed more than once, or when corrosion has spread beyond the immediate repair area, replacing that section or repiping the supply lines is the more durable path. We explain which situation you are in before any work begins. The plumbing done properly, start to finish, is what every callout comes down to, whether that means a single fitting or a whole-house repipe in copper or PEX.
A backflow preventer keeps contaminated water from reversing direction and entering the supply line. These devices are required on irrigation systems, commercial properties, and any connection where a cross-contamination risk exists. They need periodic testing and occasional repair or replacement when the internal components wear. If a backflow device is due for inspection or has started to leak, we handle the service and confirm the work meets what local inspectors require.
A washing machine or dishwasher that is not connected correctly can cause a slow leak behind the appliance that goes unnoticed until it has damaged the floor or the cabinet underneath. We handle supply line connections, drain line routing, and shutoff valve installation for both appliances. If an existing connection has been leaking, we assess what the water has reached before the repair is made.
A new sink or vanity involves more than setting the fixture in place. The drain has to be routed correctly, the supply lines have to reach the shutoffs, and the connections have to hold without dripping at the wall or under the cabinet. We handle the full installation, including any adjustments to the existing drain or supply lines that the new fixture requires. Reach out and tell us what the drain is doing or what the fixture situation looks like, and we will scope it on the call.
Pressure that drops at one fixture usually points to a flow restrictor, a partially closed shutoff, or a failing valve at that location. Pressure that is low throughout the house points further back: a failing pressure regulator, a corroded supply line that has narrowed over time, or a partially closed main. We trace the cause before recommending a fix, because the right repair depends entirely on where the restriction actually is. Call us and we will walk you through the repair.
Straight answers on the phone. Real plumbing work. Quick to respond. If you are comparing options, the page covering our plumbing services puts them side by side.
We serve Lafayette and the communities around it throughout Boulder County. That includes Louisville, Broomfield, Erie, Superior, and Paragon Estates. If you are in one of these areas and need a plumber, call and we will confirm whether your address is within our current service range.
Coverage extends to rental properties, commercial spaces, and residential homes throughout the county. The scope and the price are settled on the call, so there is no ambiguity about whether your address qualifies before a visit is booked.
Galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drains are common in homes built several decades ago, and both materials show their age in similar ways: recurring leaks at fittings, low water pressure, and slow drains that clear temporarily but keep coming back. The underlying cause is usually corrosion or buildup that has been building for years. A call to scope the problem on the phone is usually enough to figure out whether a spot repair or a broader fix is the right path.
We can describe the condition found on arrival and the work completed. If you need a written record for a specific purpose, such as an insurance claim or a property sale, let us know when you call and we will confirm what we can provide.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the work and, in some cases, whether the work affects the main line or involves new rough-in. We confirm what applies to your specific job before anything starts, so the work is completed to the standard the local inspectors enforce. If a permit is required, that becomes part of the job scope discussed on the call.
Call ahead and describe the property's location relative to a nearby landmark or intersection. For urgent calls, having that information ready when you phone speeds things up considerably. We confirm the address details before the visit so there is no delay on arrival.
Work beneath a shared surface involves access and coordination questions that depend on the specific situation. We assess what the job involves and what access is needed before scheduling.
Call (720) 449-7895 and describe the layout so we can give you an accurate picture of what the repair entails.
The main difference is coordination. A tenant is living in the space, which means the scope, the timing, and the water shutoff need to be communicated clearly before the visit. We confirm all of that on the call so the tenant and the property manager both know what to expect. The pricing process is the same: the rate is given before anything is scheduled, and nothing proceeds without approval.
Not necessarily. If the work is straightforward and access is not an issue, the property does not need to be occupied while the water is off. For larger jobs where decisions may need to be made during the visit, having someone reachable by phone is helpful even if they are not on site.
Running water through a system with a main line blockage can make the backup worse by adding more volume to a line that is already restricted. If you suspect a main line blockage, it is better to stop using fixtures and call us rather than continuing to run water until it backs up further.
Some plumbing problems get ignored because they seem manageable. A slow drain, a faucet that drips only at night, a water heater that takes longer than it used to. The longer those sit, the more they cost to fix. A slow drain that gets cleared early is a different job from a main line backup that has spread to three fixtures.
