Denver plumbing company · based in Athmar Park

Plumber in Denver, CO.

Plumber in Denver, CO for drains, sewer lines, water heaters, leaks and repipes. We are based at 567 S Eliot St in Athmar Park, and we work on the pipework Denver's housing stock actually has: galvanized and cast iron in the pre-1980 homes that make up more than half the city, clay sewer laterals under mature trees, and copper and PEX in the newer builds.

A Denver plumbing company built on Denver's housing stock

Denver's median home was built in 1975, and 55.5% of the city's housing was built before 1980 (American Community Survey 2020-2024). That means galvanized steel supply pipe, cast-iron drains and clay sewer laterals are everyday work here, not exceptions. Add expansive bentonite clay that moves with the seasons, a freeze season that runs from early October to early May, and Denver Water's lead service line program for pre-1951 homes, and Denver plumbing is a local trade with local rules.

5280 Denver Plumbing Solutions LLC started business on 7/22/2022, according to the BBB. The BBB rates the business A+; the business is not BBB accredited, and no complaints have been filed in the last 3 years. Our Master Plumber licence was verified by Thumbtack in September 2026.

Sewer Camera Inspection

A recorded camera scope with footage marks and a locate, used to diagnose a problem or to check a lateral before buying a home.

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure scouring that clears grease, scale and roots from the pipe wall, used only after a camera check confirms the pipe can take it.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Pipe bursting and cured-in-place lining that replace or renew a lateral with less digging, where a camera inspection shows the pipe qualifies.

No hot water, strange noises, leaks and pilot or ignition faults diagnosed first, so a repair is only done when a repair makes sense.

Tankless conversion sized for Denver's cold inlet water, with gas, venting and condensate work planned as part of the job.

How a job with us works

1. Call

Call (720) 599-7253 and describe the problem: what is happening, where, and how old the house is. We confirm what we can do and arrange a visit.

2. Diagnose on site

We find the cause before quoting the fix. On drains and sewers that usually means a camera; on leaks it means meter, acoustic or thermal checks.

3. Agree, then fix

We confirm the scope and the price with you before work starts, then carry out the repair or install and test it before we leave.

Denver plumbing problems we solve

Water heater stopped heating

No hot water in a Denver winter is urgent. We diagnose repair vs. replacement, and a replacement needs a Denver permit and inspection. See water heater repair and water heater installation.

Sewer backing up into a basement floor drain

In Denver's older neighbourhoods this is usually a clay lateral blocked by roots or a belly in the line. The homeowner owns the lateral all the way to the city main. See sewer line repair.

Water bill doubled with no visible leak

A hidden leak under a slab or behind a wall, or a running toilet wasting water. See leak detection.

Frozen pipes in a crawlspace or exterior wall

Denver's freeze-thaw cycling, not steady cold, does the damage: the split often only shows at thaw. See frozen pipe repair and our frozen pipe prevention guide.

Low water pressure at every fixture

Often galvanized supply pipe closing from the inside in a pre-1970 home, or a failing service line. See repiping and main water line replacement.

A drain that keeps clogging after cleaning

Snaking punches a hole; it does not always remove the cause. A camera inspection shows whether it is roots, scale, a belly or a collapsed section. See drain cleaning and sewer camera inspection.

FAQ

Plumbing in Denver, CO: questions, answered.

How much does a plumber cost in Denver, CO?
It depends on the job: where the problem is, what is causing it, how easy it is to reach, and what parts are needed. We confirm the scope and the price with you before work starts. Call (720) 599-7253 and describe the job for a quote.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Denver?
It depends on the job. Denver generally requires a permit to replace a water heater, and a Sewer Use and Drainage Permit may apply to main-line sewer work — confirm the trigger with Denver before work starts. Like-for-like fixture swaps in one- and two-family homes are generally exempt under the Denver Building Code. We confirm the permit position for your specific job before work starts.
How hard is Denver's water?
Denver Water classifies its supply as soft to moderately hard. Its annual reports put the distribution average in the range of about 89-105 mg/L (about 5.2-6.1 grains per gallon) depending on the year, with samples from about 48-124 mg/L. Water is harder in winter and in the southern collection system. Softener sizing should be based on a test at your tap, not a citywide average.
My home was built before 1951. Could it have a lead water line?
Homes built before 1951 are the most likely to have a lead service line. Before paying a plumber to replace a lead line, check your address on Denver Water's Lead Reduction Program pages: the program replaces customer-owned lead service lines at no direct cost to the customer, and more than 35,000 lines have been replaced since 2020.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the water at the main shutoff, which in most Denver homes is in the basement near where the service enters, on the street-facing wall. Then call a plumber and move valuables out of the water's path. Do not touch water near electrical outlets or panels.
Which Denver neighbourhoods do you serve?
Denver neighbourhoods only, including Athmar Park, Baker, Capitol Hill, Park Hill, Highland, Washington Park, Montbello and Green Valley Ranch. See the full list below. We do not list adjacent cities as service areas.
