Fort Collins Neighborhood Plumbing Quirks
Housing age dictates plumbing vulnerabilities. We understand the distinct architecture across Fort Collins:
Old Town & City Park (Pre-1980)
Pre-1980 homes frequently have rusted galvanized supply lines, fractured cast iron drain stacks, and tree roots in exterior clay tile joints. We specialize in non-invasive PEX repiping and targeted cast iron stack replacements.
Fossil Lake & Rigden Farm (1990s+)
Newer subdivisions utilize PEX and CPVC systems. Typical issues include high municipal water pressure exceeding 80 PSI (requiring PRV replacements), aging original builder-grade fixtures reaching end-of-life, and finishing basement rough-ins.
