Emergency Plumbing Services in Littleton
3 situations account for many urgent calls in Littleton. Each has a first step to take while you wait.
- Pipe burst after a cold front: close the main shutoff and open a faucet. See burst pipe.
- Sewage backing up: stop using water. See sewer backup.
- Water heater leaking: turn off the gas or power and the cold inlet. See water heater leaking.
For any of these, an emergency plumber can often come out to Littleton the same day, including nights and weekends. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.

Common Plumbing Problems in Littleton Homes
Denver Water supplies all Littleton residents. Denver Water owns the mains, and the property owner owns the service line from the main to the house, including the meter pit.
Sewage is treated at South Platte Renew, a plant owned jointly by Littleton and Englewood. The city or a local sanitation district maintains the sewer mains, depending on the address. The median Littleton home was built in 1982.
The Water Service Line Is Yours
Denver Water's responsibility stops at the main. The line from the tap on the main to your house belongs to you, even the part under the street. A wet spot in the yard or a hissing meter pit usually means a service line leak, and the repair is the owner's to arrange. Denver Water is replacing lead service lines in older areas at its own cost; ask whether your address is on the list.
Before a Front Range Cold Front
- Disconnect hoses; a hose left on splits the faucet inside the wall.
- Blow out sprinkler lines by mid-October.
- Open cabinets under sinks on outside walls.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
Aging Sewer Lines
Clay sewer lines from the 1950s through the 1970s crack and take in roots.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Littleton
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Littleton.
- Service line leaks. Digging to the main is a larger job than an indoor repair.
- Sewer line condition. Roots clear quickly; broken clay pipe needs repair.
- 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.
How to Find a Licensed Plumber in Littleton
