Arvada Plumbing Company handles residential and commercial plumbing across Arvada and Jefferson County, from routine repairs to urgent callouts. Whether the job is urgent or you want to plan it ahead, call and someone who knows the trade will scope the work and confirm what is available. Call for a quote, get the price before anything is scheduled, and decide from there. Every call gets treated like it matters, because it does.
From century-old homes to new commercial builds, we handle the full range of plumbing work. That covers residential plumbing for homeowners, commercial plumbing for businesses, and everything in between: landlords managing rental properties, property managers overseeing apartment buildings, and contractors who need a reliable plumbing subcontractor on a job site.
Everyday plumbing work is the core of what we do. Leaks, drains, water heaters, sewer lines, fixture installation, and pipe repair are all on the table. When you call, someone who knows the trade picks up and can scope the job on the phone. That means you understand what you are looking at before a visit is ever booked.
Straight answers on the phone. Real plumbing work. Quick to respond.
Staying ahead of plumbing problems keeps your home dry. A slow drain is easy to ignore until it backs up completely, and a backed-up drain in a kitchen or bathroom can shut down a household fast.
We clear kitchen drains, bathroom drains, tub drains, and clogged toilets. For slow drains with partial blockages, we find the point of restriction and clear it properly. For stubborn main-line buildup that keeps coming back, hydro jetting pushes through grease, scale, and debris in a way that a basic snake cannot match.
Reach out and tell us what the drain is doing.
Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and a leak is rarely where it first appears. Water stains on a ceiling, a spike in your water bill, or a soft spot in drywall can all point to a pipe that has been failing for longer than you realize.
A visit starts by tracing the source. We assess the line, identify what failed and why, and make the repair with the cause confirmed rather than guessed at. That applies to supply line leaks, water line breaks, and burst pipe repair. We handle the repair and leave it tidy.
Whether this is your first plumbing repair or your tenth, a dripping faucet or a running toilet is worth addressing sooner rather than later. A toilet that runs continuously can waste a significant volume of water before the month is out, and a leaking faucet under the sink can quietly damage cabinetry over time.
We repair and replace faucets, toilets, sinks, showers, and bathtub drains. If you are mid-renovation on a kitchen or bathroom remodel, we handle fixture installation as part of the broader project. New sink going in, shower valve being swapped out, or a complete bathroom fixture replacement: call us and we will walk you through the repair.
No hot water is one of those problems that cannot wait until next week. Whether the issue is a tank that stopped heating, a pilot that will not stay lit, or a tankless unit throwing an error code, we diagnose the unit and tell you what it needs before any work begins.
We service and replace both tank and tankless water heaters. If the unit is beyond repair or simply undersized for the household, we help with sizing and handle the full installation. The diagnosis comes first, the price is confirmed before the job starts, and the work is the plumbing done properly, start to finish.
A sewer backup or a main line clog affects every drain in the building at once. Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors near floor drains are all signs the main line needs attention.
We clean, repair, and replace sewer lines from the house to the city connection. For lines that are damaged but otherwise accessible, trenchless sewer repair is an option that avoids digging up a yard when the situation allows for it. We stay on the line itself: clearing it, repairing it, or replacing it as the condition requires.
Don't let a small leak turn into a flooded floor. The services below come up regularly and we handle all of them.
Arvada sits at the edge of the Front Range, where winters drop hard and fast, snowmelt runs heavy through spring, and the freeze-thaw cycle puts real stress on pipes and drainage systems. These services come up every season here.
When temperatures fall sharply overnight, pipes in unheated spaces, exterior walls, and crawl spaces are the first to freeze. A frozen pipe that is not addressed quickly can split, and a split pipe can release a significant amount of water before anyone notices. We locate the freeze point, thaw the line safely, and assess whether the pipe held or needs repair. In Arvada's cold-weather months, this is time-sensitive work. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what you are dealing with before we start.
Most homes in this area sit on full basements, and spring snowmelt combined with seasonal rainfall can push groundwater against foundation walls faster than it drains naturally. A sump pump keeps that water moving out before it becomes a moisture or flooding problem. We install sump pumps in new pits and replace units that have failed or aged out. If you are not sure whether your basement needs one, we show up ready to work and give you a straight answer on the call.
Outdoor hose bibs, pipes running through unheated garages, and supply lines in exterior walls are all vulnerable once temperatures drop into the teens. Pre-winter insulation and winterization wraps exposed pipes and prepares the system before a freeze event rather than after. For Arvada homes with outdoor irrigation connections or frost-free hose bib upgrades on the list, getting ahead of the season is the practical move.
We work across property types throughout the area. Homeowners in Arvada, rental property managers, apartment building owners, and commercial clients all have different needs, and we handle the full range.
Landlords dealing with a tenant-reported leak or a failed water heater need the job done quickly and correctly. Property managers overseeing multiple units need a plumbing contractor who can scope the job on the first call and confirm pricing before scheduling. Businesses dealing with a commercial drain backup or a fixture installation as part of a build-out get the same straightforward process.
We also serve the surrounding communities throughout Jefferson County: Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Westminster, Broomfield, Golden, Edgewater, Applewood, and Northglenn. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask.
The process is simple. You call, describe what is happening, and someone who knows plumbing scopes the job with you on the phone. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. There are no-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you are not committing to anything until you know what it costs.
The visit covers what was discussed on the call. We trace the issue, confirm the scope, and complete the repair. If something changes once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed.
We are open daily from 8 AM to 9 PM, including evenings and weekends. If you need a plumber on a Saturday evening or a Sunday morning, we are available.
Right diagnosis. Right repair. Right the first time.
A clog in one fixture, like a single sink or toilet, usually points to a blockage in that fixture's drain line. When multiple drains in the house are slow or backing up at the same time, or when you hear gurgling from a floor drain when another fixture is used, the main line is the more likely cause. We diagnose the location before clearing anything, so the right section of the line gets addressed.
Turn off the water at the shutoff closest to the problem, or at the main shutoff if you are not sure which valve controls the affected line. Do not run any other fixtures connected to the same drain if a sewer line is backed up. Move anything in the affected area that can be damaged by water, and leave the rest for us to assess on arrival.
We locate the freeze point first, which is often in a crawl space, exterior wall cavity, or unheated utility space. The line is thawed safely before we assess whether the pipe held or split during the freeze. If the pipe is damaged, we repair or replace the affected section and test the line before the job is closed.
We inspect the sump pit, confirm the pump is sized correctly for the space and the water volume the basement is likely to see during snowmelt or heavy rain, and handle the full installation including the discharge line. The discharge line is routed so water moves away from the foundation rather than draining back toward it. If the pit itself needs work before the pump goes in, we scope that as part of the job.
The most effective time to insulate exposed supply lines and prepare outdoor connections is before the first hard freeze of the season. Pipes in unheated garages, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are the most vulnerable in Arvada's winters. Getting ahead of the cold months is significantly less disruptive than dealing with a burst pipe after temperatures have already dropped.
Roots follow moisture and find their way into sewer lines through small cracks or loose joints, then grow inside the pipe until they restrict or block flow. The restriction builds gradually, which is why a main line that has been slow for months can back up suddenly. We camera-inspect the line to confirm root intrusion before recommending repair or replacement, because the extent of the damage determines whether clearing the line is enough or whether a section needs to be replaced.
Most supply line repairs, fixture replacements, and pipe work require the water to be shut off to the affected area or to the whole house, depending on where the shutoff is located. We confirm what needs to be shut off before the work begins and restore water service as soon as the repair is tested and holding. For drain work and sewer line service, the water supply typically stays on.
A burst pipe, a major leak that cannot be controlled at a shutoff, a complete sewer backup affecting all drains in the home, or a total loss of hot water in a household are all situations that warrant an emergency call.
If you are not sure whether what you are dealing with qualifies, call (720) 449-7895 and describe what is happening. We will tell you what the situation calls for.
Galvanized steel supply lines, which are common in homes built before the 1970s, corrode from the inside out over decades. That internal corrosion narrows the pipe diameter and causes pressure to drop, and it creates weak points at fittings that fail repeatedly. Spot repairs on heavily corroded galvanized lines can extend the life of individual sections, but when the corrosion is widespread, repiping the supply lines is the more permanent solution.
We start with what you describe on the call and use that to frame the visit. On site, we assess the symptom, trace it to the source, and confirm what the repair actually involves before starting. A slow drain that looks like a simple clog can turn out to be a main line issue, and a leaking fitting can point to a pipe section that has corroded further back. The scope is confirmed with you before any work begins.
Clear the area around the work: under the sink for fixture and drain work, around the water heater for heater service, and near the cleanout or access panel for main line work. If anything is stored in front of the main shutoff valve, move it before the visit. That keeps the job moving without delays once we are on site.
A patch or spot repair is appropriate when the pipe material is otherwise sound and the damage is isolated to a single fitting or a small section. When the surrounding pipe is corroded, brittle, or has failed in the same area more than once, replacement of that section is the better call. We explain which situation you are in before any work begins, so you are not paying for a patch that is going to fail again in six months.
Inconsistent hot water, water that takes much longer than usual to heat up, discolored or rusty water at the hot faucet, a rumbling or popping sound from the tank, or visible corrosion around the base of the unit are all signs worth calling about. Some of these point to a component that can be repaired, like a heating element or a thermostat. Others indicate the tank itself has reached the end of its useful life and replacement is the more practical path.
Arvada Plumbing Company is available daily from 8 AM to 9 PM.

What causes drains to clog and back up, and how do you clear them?
Most clogs in kitchen drains come from grease and food debris that builds up gradually on pipe walls until flow slows or stops. Bathroom drains clog from hair and soap residue. Main line blockages often involve a combination of buildup, root intrusion, or a partial collapse in the line. We diagnose the location and cause before clearing, because a main line issue needs a different approach than a fixture-level clog. For stubborn buildup that keeps coming back, hydro jetting scours the pipe wall rather than just pushing material further down the line.
What does hydro jetting clear that snaking cannot?
A drain snake breaks up or dislodges a blockage and pushes it through, but it does not clean the pipe wall. Grease, scale, and mineral buildup that coat the interior of a line are not fully removed by snaking, which is why some drains slow down again within weeks of being cleared. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the pipe from the inside, removing buildup along the wall rather than just opening a channel through the middle of it. It is the better call when a drain has been cleared multiple times and keeps backing up.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing out walls?
We start with the symptoms: water stains, soft spots in drywall, a spike in the water bill, or the sound of running water when nothing is on. From there we assess which line is most likely involved and use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to narrow the location before any access is made. The goal is to confirm where the failure is before opening anything up, so the repair is targeted rather than exploratory.
Cause Found Before Anything Is Replaced
We trace the source of a leak, clog, or pressure problem before recommending a repair. The scope is confirmed with you before any work begins.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it heated continuously. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, so there is no stored volume to run out of. Tankless units take up less space and do not have standby heat loss, but they have a higher upfront cost and require adequate gas line capacity or electrical supply to handle the demand. We help with sizing either type based on the household's actual hot water use and confirm what the installation involves before anything is scheduled.
What are the signs a sewer or main line has a problem?
Multiple slow drains throughout the house at the same time, gurgling sounds coming from floor drains or toilets when another fixture is used, sewage odors near drains, or sewage backing up into a tub or floor drain are all signs the main line needs attention. A single slow fixture usually points to that fixture's drain line. When the whole house is affected, the main line is the more likely cause. We diagnose the location before clearing anything so the right section of the line gets addressed.
When does a home need repiping rather than spot repairs?
Spot repairs make sense when the pipe material is otherwise sound and the damage is isolated. When the supply lines are galvanized steel that has corroded from the inside out over decades, the corrosion is typically widespread rather than limited to one fitting. Pressure drops throughout the house, discolored water at the faucet, and repeated leaks at different fittings in the same system are all signs the corrosion has progressed to the point where replacing the supply lines is the more practical path. We scope the job on the call and confirm pricing before scheduling.
Code-Compliant Work on Every Job
Plumbing work finished to the local code on every callout. Work in this area gets done to the code inspectors here actually enforce.
What causes low water pressure, and how is it fixed?
Pressure that drops suddenly usually points to a partially closed shutoff valve, a failing pressure regulator, or a break somewhere in the supply line. Pressure that has always been weak can indicate a regulator that was never set correctly, or in older homes, supply lines that have narrowed from internal corrosion over time. We trace the cause before recommending a fix, because the right repair depends on which of those is actually happening.
How are estimates and pricing handled before work starts?
When you call, we scope the job on the phone based on what you describe. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. If something changes once we are into the job and the scope needs to shift, we tell you before proceeding. You are not committing to anything until you know what it covers and what it costs.
Older and Newer Plumbing Both Handled
From century-old galvanized supply lines to modern tankless water heater installations, we handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing.
When should I call a plumber rather than attempting a fix myself?
Fixture-level work like replacing a showerhead or a toilet fill valve is within reach for a handy homeowner. The situations where calling makes more sense are those where the cause is not clear, where the work involves supply lines or shutoff valves that affect the whole house, where a leak is behind a wall or under a slab, or where the fix requires cutting into pipe. Getting the diagnosis wrong on a supply line or a sewer line can turn a small problem into a larger one. Call and describe what is happening and we can tell you on the phone whether it is something to tackle yourself or something worth scheduling.
How long does a water heater replacement typically take?
Most tank water heater replacements are completed in a few hours once the unit is on site. Tankless installations can take longer depending on whether the gas line or electrical supply needs to be upgraded to handle the demand. We confirm the scope and the timeline on the call before anything is scheduled, so you know what the visit involves before we arrive.
What should I do if a toilet is running or leaking at the base?
A toilet that runs continuously is usually a failed flapper or a fill valve that is not shutting off correctly. Both are repairable without replacing the whole unit. A leak at the base typically points to a wax ring that has failed or a flange that has shifted. Left alone, a base leak can damage the subfloor over time. Call and describe what the toilet is doing and we will tell you what the visit is likely to involve.
