Plumber in Denver, CO
Denver is home base for Perez Plumbing. We work in the older neighborhoods where clay sewer lines and iron pipe are still in the ground, and in newer homes too.
Plumbing for Denver homes, from a Denver plumber
Denver is where Perez Plumbing is based, and it is the city we know best. The core of Denver, from Capitol Hill and Washington Park to the Highlands, Baker and Park Hill, was built out from the 1880s through the 1930s with brick bungalows, Denver Squares and Victorians. Many of those homes still have parts of their original plumbing: clay sewer pipe, cast iron drain stacks and galvanized supply lines.
Denver is also a city of alleys. Many older blocks have an alley behind them, and the sewer main can run there, which shapes how a sewer line replacement is planned and where the connection point is. Before any digging, buried utilities are marked through Colorado 811, a step that matters in dense neighborhoods where gas, water and sewer lines run close together.
At about 5,280 feet, Denver's elevation also affects gas appliances, and winters with real freeze-thaw cycles are hard on shallow or exposed pipes. We know what the houses here look like, so a conversation about your plumbing starts from the real conditions, not a generic checklist.
What Denver homeowners call us for
Sewer & Drain Line Replacement
Clay and cast iron lines in older blocks fail at the joints, and replacing them with PVC ends the repeat backups.

Older housing stock
Much of central Denver was built before 1940, and many of those homes still have a mix of original and later plumbing. A single house can contain clay, cast iron, galvanized steel, copper and plastic.
Alley sewer mains
On blocks with alleys, the sewer main can sit under the alley, so the line from your house crosses the yard to reach it. That affects the trench route and the restoration work.
Mile-high elevation
Gas water heaters and furnaces have to be installed per the manufacturer's high-altitude instructions, which matters for any water heater replacement.
Colorado 811 before digging
Denver's older neighborhoods have buried utilities close together, and every excavation starts with a locate request.
