My house is from the 1990s. Does it still need plumbing work?
Parts wear out in any house. Heaters, shower cartridges, toilet valves and supply hoses reach the end of their working life after a few decades, and a repair is smaller than a failure.
Plumbers in Fort Collins
Toilets that run, shower valves that will not hold a temperature, aging heaters, slow drains and leaks behind walls make up our work in Fort Collins.
Fort Collins has the newest homes on our list, with a middle build year of 1992, and more than 3 in every 10 of them predate 1980. Even recent plumbing eventually needs parts.
Repairs in newer homes
The valve cartridge is where a drifting shower starts. A tank that hisses and refills by itself needs a flapper or fill valve instead. Both fall under fixture repair.
If a drain slows down again within weeks, hair may not be the whole story. Drain cleaning with a camera check finds out what else is in there.
Cold nights in Fort Collins
Fort Collins saw about 153 days a year with a low of 32°F or colder over the ten years to 2024, and January lows average 18°F. Even a recent house can have pipes in a garage or an outside wall, and spigots, that the cold reaches first.
Pull the hoses in the fall and close the inside shutoff for each outdoor spigot, if it has one. A spigot dripping after a cold snap may have split inside the wall.
