A plumbing emergency in Denver doesn’t wait for office hours. High-altitude freeze nights, 1920s galvanized still hiding in bungalow walls, and clay sewer laterals that pick the worst Saturday to fail — we built this company around those calls.
What counts as an emergency
- Water that will not shut off, or a pipe spraying into a ceiling or wall
- No water to the house, or no hot water with people in the home
- Sewage backing up into a tub, basement, or cleanout
- The smell of gas near a water heater, stove, or boiler
- A slab or basement leak you can hear but cannot find
What to do before we arrive
If water is moving, find the main shutoff — usually in the basement, crawl, or near the water meter pit. Turn it clockwise. For a gas odor, leave the house, don’t flip switches, and call us from outside. We’ll talk you through the next two minutes on the phone so the damage stops spreading while the van is rolling.
How we work a night call
We stabilize first: stop the water, make the house safe, and get you a usable bathroom or hot water if we can do it that visit. Then we tell you, in plain numbers, what a lasting repair looks like versus a bandage. No surprise invoice for work you didn’t approve. If the right fix is a next-day part, we leave you dry and scheduled — not stranded.
