Local plumbing issues in Boulder

01

Historic-home plumbing

Older homes on Mapleton Hill and the Hill often need repiping and sewer work, with care around historic finishes.

02

Tree roots in sewer lines

Boulder's mature tree canopy sends roots into clay sewer joints, causing repeat main-line clogs.

03

Flood-prone lower levels

Homes near Boulder Creek and its tributaries can see water in lower levels during heavy rain, which makes backwater valves and working sump pumps important.
