What We Handle
Residential Plumbing Services in Fort Collins
We cover the full range of residential plumbing — from quick repairs to full bathroom remodels. Here's what we're typically called for:
Leak Detection & Repair
Visible and hidden leaks, including supply line leaks, fixture leaks, pipe joint failures, and leaks behind walls. We find the source before we fix it — not just the symptom.
Fixture Installation
Faucets, toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, and utility fixtures. We install properly — level, sealed, and with correct supply and drain connections so nothing drips or backs up later.
Pipe Repair & Replacement
Corroded galvanized, cracked PVC, failing copper joints, pinhole leaks — we repair or replace problem sections and advise when a full repipe makes more long-term sense.
Bathroom Remodel Plumbing
Rough-in and finish plumbing for bathroom remodels — moving drains, relocating supply lines, adding fixtures, and venting correctly so your new bathroom meets code.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sink and faucet installation, dishwasher connections, garbage disposal install, under-sink supply line repairs, and water line work for refrigerators and ice makers.
Toilet Repair & Replacement
Running toilets, phantom flushes, rocking bases, cracks, clogs that won't clear — we diagnose and fix the actual problem, not just the part that's most visible.
Water Pressure Issues
Low pressure throughout the house, pressure that varies between fixtures, or pressure that's recently dropped — we trace the cause and fix it at the source.
Shutoff Valve Replacement
Old angle stops, main shutoff valves, and whole-house pressure regulators that are corroded, stuck, or leaking. Often overlooked until they fail when you need them most.
Outdoor Plumbing
Hose bib replacement, outdoor shower connections, irrigation supply lines, and frost-free valve installation for Fort Collins winters.
Local Knowledge
Fort Collins Plumbing Has Its Own Quirks — We Know Them
Older Homes in Old Town and City Park
A lot of Fort Collins' older neighborhoods — Old Town, City Park, Collindale — have homes built in the 1940s through 1970s. Many of these still have original galvanized steel supply lines that have corroded significantly from the inside over the decades. You might have decent flow now, but a slow reduction in pressure is often the first sign.
Cast iron drain lines are also common in homes from this era. They eventually develop cracks, scale buildup, and root intrusion at joints. We see this regularly in Fort Collins, and we know how to assess whether a section needs to be replaced or whether cleaning can extend it a few more years.
If you're buying or renovating a home in one of these older neighborhoods, a plumbing assessment before you commit to finishes is worth doing. We'll tell you what's there and what its realistic lifespan is.
Newer Builds in Rigden Farm, Fossil Lake Ranch, and Stetson Creek
Homes built in Fort Collins from the 1990s onward typically use PEX or CPVC supply lines and ABS or PVC drain lines. These are generally more reliable than older materials, but they have their own failure modes — PEX fittings can corrode at connections in high-mineral water areas, and CPVC becomes brittle with age and can crack from freezing or physical impact.
In our experience, newer homes' plumbing issues tend to cluster around a few things: improperly secured supply lines that create noise or vibration, CPVC that's started cracking in utility spaces, and fixture failures as original builder-grade fixtures reach the end of their useful life after 15–20 years.
We work in these neighborhoods regularly and know what to look for in different construction periods and builders' typical practices.
How It Works
How a Plumbing Service Call Works with Us
Call Us, Describe the Problem
We'll ask a few questions over the phone to come prepared — the right parts, the right tools, no extra trips to the supply house mid-job.
Same-Week Scheduling
Most jobs get a next-day or same-week slot. You get a specific 2-hour arrival window, confirmed the day before.
On-Site Assessment
We look at the actual problem — not just what you described on the phone. Sometimes there's more to it. We'll tell you what we find, plainly.
Written Estimate
You get a written price before we start. If we find additional issues during the job, we tell you before adding anything to the scope.
Repairs Completed
We do the work cleanly, protect your floors and fixtures, and test everything before packing up. The job is done right, not just done.
Good to Know
When Should You Call a Plumber vs. Handle It Yourself?
We're genuinely fine with homeowners doing simple tasks themselves. Here's a practical guide for Fort Collins residents:
Usually Fine to DIY
- Replacing a toilet flapper or fill valve
- Swapping out a faucet aerator or showerhead
- Replacing a simple P-trap under a sink
- Fixing a loose toilet seat or handle
- Replacing a supply line hose under a sink (if valves work)
These jobs are low-risk, require basic tools, and don't typically involve permits or water damage risk if something goes slightly wrong.
Call a Plumber For
- Any pipe repair inside walls, floors, or ceilings
- Water heater replacement (permit required in Colorado)
- Drain issues that keep coming back — especially if chemical cleaners haven't worked
- Shutoff valves that won't fully close
- Any new rough-in work or line relocation
- Anything that requires a permit
- Sewer or water main repairs — these need permits, utility locates, and excavation
Unpermitted work can void homeowner's insurance coverage on related damage claims and create problems at resale. When in doubt, a quick call to us costs nothing.
Why Us
What Makes Us Different as a Fort Collins Plumbing Company?
Honestly, there are a lot of plumbers in Fort Collins and the surrounding area. Most of them can do the physical work competently. What varies is everything around the work: how accurately they estimate, whether they show up when they say they will, how they communicate when something unexpected comes up, and whether the price you agreed to is actually the price you pay.
We're a small team, and we want to stay that way. That means every job gets one of our experienced plumbers — not whoever happened to be available that day. We know our customers by name, not by job number.
We give written estimates before any work starts. If we open a wall and find something that changes the scope, we tell you before doing anything about it. You approve changes. We don't add line items at the end and explain them after the fact.
And if something we did doesn't work right, we come back. Not because there's a complicated warranty policy — just because that's what doing good work means to us.
We come to you, assess the problem, and give you a written price before any work begins. No obligation to proceed. Call (970) 672-3282 to schedule.

Pricing
What Does Plumbing Work Cost in Fort Collins?
Plumbing costs vary significantly depending on what needs to be done. A simple fixture swap takes less time and fewer materials than a pipe repair inside a wall. A bathroom remodel rough-in is a different scope entirely from a running toilet fix.
What we can tell you: we charge fairly for actual labor and materials, we don't inflate estimates to leave room for negotiation, and we give you the real number in writing before touching anything. Most Fort Collins homeowners tell us our pricing is straightforward and in line with what they expected after seeing the scope of work.
Minor repairs — faucet replacements, toilet repairs, supply line fixes — typically fall in the low-to-mid hundreds. More involved work like pipe repairs, full fixture install packages, or remodel rough-ins will cost more and we'll quote the specific job. Call (970) 672-3282 for a free estimate.
Questions
Plumbing FAQs — Fort Collins, CO
Yes — and we're experienced with the materials and issues common in older Fort Collins construction. Galvanized steel supply lines, cast iron drain lines, and old-style shutoff valves are all things we work with regularly in Old Town and surrounding historic neighborhoods. We'll assess what's there honestly and give you options.
Absolutely. We work alongside general contractors and remodelers regularly. We handle the plumbing rough-in and finish work, coordinate with your GC on timing, and make sure the plumbing inspection passes before finishes go in. Communication is straightforward — your GC can reach us directly.
Pressure loss can come from several places: a failing pressure reducing valve (common after 10–15 years), mineral buildup inside older galvanized pipes reducing the effective diameter, a partial shutoff somewhere in the system, or — in well homes — a pump or pressure tank issue. Diagnosis is the first step. We can usually identify the cause on the first visit.
Common indicators: water bill higher than usual for no apparent reason, damp or soft spots on floors or walls, musty smell in areas without obvious water sources, or a water meter that keeps moving when no fixtures are in use. If you suspect a hidden leak, call us — catching it early is significantly less expensive than dealing with the water damage later.
Most non-emergency jobs are scheduled same-week, often within 1–2 days. For urgent situations like active leaks or no water, we work to get out as quickly as possible. Call (970) 672-3282 directly — we'll give you an honest timeframe on the phone.
