Common Plumbing Problems in Loveland Homes
Loveland Water and Power treats water from the Big Thompson River, the Charles Hansen Feeder Canal and Green Ridge Glade Reservoir, which is filled with Western Slope water from the Colorado-Big Thompson project.
The city describes its water as soft compared with other systems. Its plant can treat 38 million gallons a day. The median Loveland home was built in 1993.
Late-Summer Taste From the Reservoir
Green Ridge Glade Reservoir grows algae in late summer, more so since the 2013 flood washed nutrients into the watershed. The city can now bypass the reservoir and bring canal water straight to the plant, and it says treatment removes the algae. A faint earthy taste in August is a source issue, not a pipe problem.
Fall Checklist for a Loveland Home
- Blow out sprinklers by mid-October.
- Disconnect hoses; a hose left on splits the faucet inside the wall.
- Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and garages.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
Frozen Pipes
Cold fronts split hose bibs, sprinkler lines and pipes in outside walls.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Loveland
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Loveland.
- Freeze damage. Several fittings can crack in one cold snap.
- 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.
