Common Plumbing Problems in Arvada Homes
Arvada treats its own water at 2 plants. About three-quarters comes from Denver Water's northern system by way of Gross and Ralston reservoirs; the rest comes from Clear Creek through Arvada Reservoir.
The city describes its water as soft to moderately hard, averaging about 84 mg/L or 5 grains per gallon. The median Arvada home was built in 1979.
Sewer Lines Under Brick Ranches
East Arvada's ranch houses were built with clay sewer pipe in short sections. Sixty years on, joints have shifted and roots have moved in. If the basement floor drain backs up when the washer drains, the main line is the suspect. A sewer camera inspection shows whether cleaning, lining or digging is needed.
Before a Front Range Freeze
- Disconnect hoses before the first hard freeze.
- Blow out sprinkler lines in October.
- Open cabinets under sinks on outside walls during cold snaps.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
Water Heater Replacement
Homes from the 1970s are on their fourth tank.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Arvada
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Arvada.
- Sewer line condition. Roots clear quickly; broken clay pipe needs repair.
- Freeze damage. Several fittings can crack in one cold snap.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
