Licensed and insured in Colorado. Serving Denver, Lakewood, Arvada, Aurora and Englewood.

What's wrong?

Pick the closest one. You'll see how urgent it is, what to do before we get there, and roughly what it costs.

Choose the problem

Smell gas? That is not a plumbing call. Leave the house first, then call your gas company or 911 from outside.

This is an emergency. Call now, whatever the time.

Do this right now

  1. Turn off the main shut-off valve, usually where the water line enters the house.
  2. Open a cold tap on the lowest floor to drain the line.
  3. Keep out of any water that is near outlets or the electrical panel.
  4. Move what you can out of the wet, and take a few photos for your insurer.
Usual price
From $280for the pipe repair. After hours it is 1.5 times.
How soon
About an houris usual, day or night. We give you a time when you call.
Call (303) 555-0161Where is my shut-off valve?

Unpleasant, not dangerous. Usually a same-day visit.

Check these first

  1. Try another hot tap. If one tap is cold and the rest are fine, it is the tap, not the heater.
  2. Electric heater: look for a tripped breaker and reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off.
  3. Gas heater: check the status light near the bottom of the tank against the label on the side.
  4. Water around the base of the tank? Close the cold valve on top of the heater and call.
Usual price
$180 to $450for a water heater repair. A new tank is priced before we start.
How soon
Same dayis usual if you call before mid-afternoon.

It can usually wait a few hours. It can't if sewage is coming back up.

Do this right now

  1. Stop running water into it. That includes the dishwasher and the washing machine.
  2. Leave the chemical drain cleaner on the shelf. It rarely clears the blockage and it burns whoever opens the pipe next.
  3. Try a plunger: a flat cup for sinks, one with a flange for toilets.
  4. More than one drain slow at once, or water in the basement floor drain? That is the main line. Stop using water and call.
Usual price
$160 to $290for one drain. A main sewer line is from $320.
How soon
Same dayis usual. For sewage backing up we treat it as an emergency.

Depends how fast. A drip can wait for daylight. A spray cannot.

Do this right now

  1. Put a bucket under it and a towel around it.
  2. Look for a small valve on the pipe feeding that fixture, under the sink or behind the toilet. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
  3. No small valve, or it does nothing? Turn off the main shut-off.
  4. Skip the tape and the sealant. They hide the leak without stopping it.
Usual price
$140 to $320depending on where the pipe is and how we get to it.
How soon
Same dayis usual for a steady leak. A slow drip, the next working day.
Call (303) 555-0161Where is my shut-off valve?

Rarely urgent, unless it is overflowing or it is your only one.

Do this right now

  1. Overflowing: turn the valve on the wall behind the toilet clockwise until the water stops.
  2. Bowl full? Don't flush again to see what happens.
  3. Running: lift the tank lid and check the rubber flapper is sitting flat and the chain isn't caught under it.
  4. A running toilet wastes a lot of water. Close the wall valve between uses until we get there.
Usual price
$120 to $260for a repair. Tell us if it is the only toilet in the house.
How soon
Next working dayis usual. Same day when it is your only toilet.
Call (303) 555-0161Or send us the details

No rush. We book these for a time that suits you.

Helpful to have ready

  1. The make and model of what you want fitted, or a link to it. We can supply it too.
  2. A photo of what is there now, including the pipes underneath or behind.
  3. Whether the little shut-off valves under the fixture still turn.
  4. Anything that has leaked or been repaired there before.
Usual price
$180 to $320to fit a faucet you supply. Toilets $250 to $420. Water heaters priced on site.
How soon
Within the weekis usual, on a day and time you choose.

You hear the price before we pick up a wrench.

We come out, find the fault, and give you one number for the whole job. Say yes and we start. Say no and you owe the call-out, nothing else.

The ranges in the picker above are what these jobs usually come to in a normal house. Yours gets its own price once we have seen it.

Call-out and diagnosis
$89

A plumber at your door, the fault found and explained.

If we do the work
minus $89

The call-out fee comes off the bill.

The job itself
Fixed

One price for parts and labor, agreed before we start. It does not go up if the job takes us longer.

After hours
1.5 times

Weeknights after 6pm, weekends and public holidays. We say so on the phone before a van leaves.

If we find something else
You decide

We stop, show you, and give a new price. Nothing extra happens without your yes.

Where is my shut-off valve?

Worth finding today, while the floor is dry. It is the one valve that stops all the water coming into the house.

If you have a basement, look on the wall that faces the street, low down, where a single pipe comes through the foundation. The valve is on that pipe, often next to the water meter.

No basement? Check the crawl space, the utility closet beside the water heater, or the garage wall nearest the street.

A lever handle needs a quarter turn, until it sits across the pipe. A round wheel handle turns clockwise, several full turns, until it stops. If it is stiff, don't force it with a wrench. Old valves snap.

Once it is off, open a cold tap on the lowest floor and let the line drain. If you can't find the valve or it won't move, call us and we will talk you through it. The valve out at the curb belongs to the water utility, so leave that one alone.

Water onThe lever runs along the pipe.
Water offThe lever sits across the pipe.

Four vans, five towns.

  • Denver
  • Lakewood
  • Arvada
  • Aurora
  • Englewood

Every van carries the same stock: copper and PEX in the common sizes, shut-off valves, traps, wax rings, water heater parts and a drain cable. The ordinary repairs don't wait on a trip to the supplier.

One van stays on call overnight. Somewhere just outside these towns? Call anyway. If we can't get to you in sensible time, we will say so straight away.

Tell us what's wrong.

(303) 555-0161

If water is going where it shouldn't, call. The form is for jobs that can wait until morning. We ring back the next working day.

Smell gas? Leave the house and call your gas company or 911. Not us.
