Plumber in Aurora, CO
Aurora covers a lot of ground and a lot of building eras. We help Aurora homeowners with drains, water heaters, and the buried lines under older and newer streets alike.
What plumbing looks like across Aurora
Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city, and it stretches across parts of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. That size means very different housing: the original Aurora neighborhoods along and around East Colfax Avenue, and Hoffman Heights, date from the 1950s and 1960s, while areas like Meadow Hills and Tallyn's Reach grew later, and the newest subdivisions farther south and east are recent builds.
Aurora has its own water utility, Aurora Water, rather than relying on Denver Water, so questions about service lines, shutoffs and meters go to a different provider than they do in Denver. Because the city crosses three counties, permit and inspection requirements for plumbing work can differ depending on which part of Aurora your house is in.
Closer to Colfax, we see the same kinds of problems we see in older Denver: aging drain lines and iron or galvanized pipe from mid-century construction. Further out, the work is more often water heater replacement and fixtures, where the main risk is a failed connection rather than failed buried pipe.

Three counties, different rules
Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties each have their own offices, and requirements for permits and inspections can differ across Aurora. We check which applies at your address.
Aurora Water
Water service in the city is through Aurora Water, so shutoffs and service line questions go there instead of to Denver Water.
Mixed ages, mixed problems
Mid-century homes around Hoffman Heights and Colfax face aging pipe, while newer areas like Tallyn's Reach see failed connections and fixtures more often than failed buried lines.
Open plains, cold winters
Aurora sits on the open plains east of Denver, where cold, windy winters make unheated garages and exposed lines a freeze risk.
Plumbing in Aurora: your questions
Do you serve all parts of Aurora, including the Adams and Douglas county sides?
We serve Aurora from Denver, and we will confirm your address when you call. Permit requirements can differ by county, and we plan around the ones that apply to your property.
Is Aurora water different from Denver water?
Aurora has its own water provider, Aurora Water. For service line or shutoff questions, you contact Aurora Water rather than Denver Water. We can help you understand which part of the line is yours.
Do you work on newer Aurora homes or only older ones?
Both. Older homes more often need line and pipe replacement, and newer homes more often need water heater and fixture work.
Can I get a call back in English or Spanish?
Yes. We have Spanish lines and an English line, and you can request a free quote in either language.
