Residential plumbing for Highlands Ranch homes
Highlands Ranch has been growing since 1981, and that history shows up in its plumbing. A home from the early years of the community is often on its second water heater and its second set of supply lines, while a newer home in BackCountry is more likely to have a tankless unit, a finished basement and a softener loop that needs service. We work on all of it.
An Affordable Plumber is a Littleton plumbing company with more than 25 years of experience, and every job is done by a licensed master plumber. Highlands Ranch is a short drive from our shop, same-day appointments are available, and you will know what a job costs before any work begins.
What we fix most often in Highlands Ranch
Water heaters past their prime
A tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years, and hard water can shorten that. Units from the original build are well past it. We repair what is worth repairing and replace what is not, including upgrades to tankless.
High water pressure
Plumbing codes generally cap household pressure at 80 psi. When the pressure reducing valve near your main shutoff wears out, pressure creeps up and you get banging pipes, dripping faucets and shorter life for toilets and appliances.
Basements and sump pumps
Many homes here have finished or walkout basements, which makes a failed sump pump or a slow leak expensive. Test your pump before the spring thaw and the summer storm season. We install, repair and replace sump pumps.
Hidden supply line leaks
Braided supply lines under sinks and behind toilets are a common source of hidden leaks, and many plumbers suggest replacing them at about 10 years. If a cabinet floor feels soft or smells musty, call us before it spreads.
Who is responsible for which pipe?
Highlands Ranch Water maintains the public water main and the service line up to your meter. From the meter into your home, and the sewer line running from your home out to the main, are typically the homeowner's responsibility.
If you are not sure where the utility's part ends and yours begins, ask the district or give us a call. For sewer problems we use video inspection, so you see the actual condition of the line before deciding on a repair.

Highlands Ranch plumbing questions, answered
Straight answers to what homeowners in Highlands Ranch ask us most. Do not see yours? Call or text (720) 571-7466.
Is the water in Highlands Ranch hard?
Yes. Highlands Ranch Water reports hardness of roughly 11 to 13 grains per gallon, which is considered hard. It is safe to drink, but over time it leaves scale on fixtures and inside water heaters.
Do I need a water softener or a whole house filter?
They solve different problems. A softener targets the minerals that cause scale. A whole house filter targets things like chlorine taste, odor and sediment. Tell us what you notice at home and we will recommend what fits, even if the honest answer is that you do not need either one yet.
How do I know if my water pressure is too high?
Screw a pressure gauge onto an outdoor spigot and read it with no water running. Most plumbing codes set 80 psi as the upper limit. If your reading is higher, or you hear banging pipes, the pressure reducing valve near your main shutoff probably needs service. We can test it and replace it.
My water heater came with the house. Should I replace it before it fails?
A tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years, and hard water can shorten that. If yours is near or past that range, or you see rust, moisture at the base or rumbling noises, a planned replacement is usually far less disruptive than a failure in the middle of the night.
Who is responsible for the pipe between the street and my house?
Typically the utility maintains the water main and the service up to your meter, and the homeowner is responsible from there into the house. The sewer line from your home out to the main is also usually the homeowner's. Confirm the exact boundary with Highlands Ranch Water, or call us and we will help you sort it out.
Do you work on commercial properties near Highlands Ranch Town Center?
Yes. We handle commercial plumbing, including grease traps, backflow prevention and commercial water heaters, for restaurants, offices and retail spaces.
How much does an estimate cost?
There is a $49 service fee so our plumber can properly inspect the problem and give you a clear estimate. If you approve the estimate right away, or within 30 days, the $49 is waived.
