Common Plumbing Problems in Broomfield Homes
Broomfield has 2 water sources. About 40% is treated water bought from Denver Water. About 60% is mountain water from the Colorado-Big Thompson and Windy Gap projects, stored at Carter Lake and piped 33 miles to Broomfield's own treatment plant.
The 2 are usually blended, though at times the whole city gets one or the other. Broomfield holds 29.4% of the storage in the new Chimney Hollow Reservoir. The median Broomfield home was built in 2002.
Test the Sump Pump
Pour a bucket of water into the pit each spring. The pump should start, empty the pit and stop. If it hums without pumping, runs nonstop or does nothing, replace it before the wet season. A battery backup keeps it running when a storm knocks the power out.
Before a Front Range Cold Snap
- Shut off and drain outdoor faucets from the inside valve before the first hard freeze.
- Insulate pipes along outside basement walls and in crawl spaces.
- Blow out the sprinkler system by mid-October.
- Find the main shutoff, usually where the water line enters the basement. See frozen pipes.
Water Heater Replacement
Tanks installed around 2000 are at the end of their life.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Broomfield
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Broomfield.
- Finished basements. Opening and patching drywall adds to a leak repair.
- Pump setup. Adding a battery backup costs more than a like-for-like swap.
- 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.
