Plumber in Littleton, CO
From the older homes near historic Downtown Littleton to the established neighborhoods around them, we handle drains, water heaters and buried pipe.
Plumbing in a historic downtown and the neighborhoods around it
Littleton is the county seat of Arapahoe County, and its Main Street is a historic downtown with homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s nearby. Moving outward, the neighborhoods are a mix of mid-century ranch homes and later subdivisions, and the older housing near downtown is where we most often see original clay and cast iron lines.
The South Platte River runs along Littleton's west side, and Chatfield Reservoir and State Park lie just to the south-west. Properties near the river can have a shallower water table, which affects how a trench is dug and how damp a basement gets.
Many Littleton homes have basements, and basement plumbing, meaning the sewer cleanout, floor drains and the water heater, is where trouble tends to show first. We start by looking at what is in the basement.

Historic downtown housing
Homes near Main Street date to the late 1800s and early 1900s, and many have had piecemeal plumbing updates over the decades, so old iron, copper and plastic can all be in one house.
Arapahoe County seat
Littleton is the county seat of Arapahoe County, and permit and inspection requirements for plumbing work follow the jurisdiction your address falls in.
River and reservoir nearby
The South Platte River runs along the city and Chatfield Reservoir sits nearby, so properties close to the water can have a higher water table, which affects trenching and basement moisture.
Basement-heavy homes
Many Littleton houses have basements, so sewer cleanouts, floor drains and water heaters are often below grade, where a backup or a leak does the most damage.
Plumbing in Littleton: your questions
Do you work in Old Town Littleton?
Yes. Older homes near the historic downtown are a good fit for our line replacement and old pipe work. Tell us your address when you call.
My Littleton home has a basement. Does that change anything?
It often makes the work easier to reach, since plumbing runs through the basement ceiling, and it makes a leak or backup more damaging, since it ends up below grade. The water heater and floor drain in a basement are worth checking now and then.
Does a high water table affect sewer line replacement?
It can. Trenches near the river may fill with water, which affects how the pipe is laid and how long the job takes. We take that into account when we look at the property.
