COMMON REPAIR SITUATIONS

Problems homeowners ask about most

These are everyday issues that usually get worse if they are left alone.

Leaking faucets and fixturesA constant drip wastes water and can damage the cabinet or countertop below.

A toilet that runs or refills on its ownWorn internal parts can waste a surprising amount of water without any visible leak.

Low water pressurePressure that drops throughout the house is different from one weak showerhead.

Damaged or corroded pipesRust, mineral crust or wet spots around fittings can signal a failing section.

Water supply problemsNo hot water, discolored water or noisy pipes can point to valves, lines or the heater.

Damp cabinets or stainsSlow leaks under sinks often go unnoticed until the cabinet base swells.

COMMON CAUSES

What is usually behind these repairs

Worn parts and fixtures

Possible causes: Washers, cartridges, flappers and supply hoses wear out with use and are common sources of drips and running toilets.

What to check: Which fixture is affected, and whether a shutoff valve under it works.

When to call a plumber: If the problem returns after a simple part swap or the valve will not close.

Older pipe materials

Possible causes: Older Denver homes can contain galvanized steel or mixed piping, and interior corrosion narrows pipes and reduces flow over time.

What to check: Whether low pressure is at every tap or one, and any orange-brown water when a tap first opens.

When to call a plumber: If pressure has dropped house-wide or the water is discolored.

Pressure regulation

Possible causes: A failing pressure regulator can produce pressure that is too high or too low for the home.

What to check: Banging pipes or fixtures that spit and sputter.

When to call a plumber: If several fixtures behave oddly at once.

DENVER HOMEOWNER NOTES

Denver household plumbing notes

Climate and housing age in the Denver area make some repairs more likely than others.

Freeze-and-thaw swings

Front Range weather can go from mild to hard freeze quickly. Disconnect hoses in fall, and protect exposed pipes in garages and crawlspaces.

Older neighborhoods

Many established Denver homes still have original piping in places. Your water utility publishes information about service line materials, which is worth reading if your home is older.

Dry climate, less obvious leaks

Dry air can evaporate small leaks before they leave a visible stain. Watching the water meter and your bill can show a leak that the walls do not.

FAQ

Denver plumbing repair questions

When should I repair a fixture and when should I replace it?

If the parts are inexpensive and the fixture is in good shape, repair is often reasonable. Very old, corroded or repeatedly failing fixtures may be better replaced.

Why is my water pressure suddenly low?

It can be a single clogged aerator, a partly closed valve, a failing regulator or a problem in the supply line. Checking whether it is one tap or the whole house is the first clue.

Can a running toilet cause real damage?

It usually does not cause flooding, but it wastes water and raises bills. A worn flapper or fill valve is a common cause.

Is a small leak worth a call?

Yes. Small leaks tend to worsen and can damage cabinets, floors and framing before they become visible.

Can I check availability before I call?

Yes. The ZIP checker on the service areas page shows whether your ZIP code is in the coverage list, and calling 833-505-1423 lets you confirm for your specific address.
