Plumber in Erie

Erie’s growth demands a plumber who keeps up.

Erie sits at the north end of Boulder County, right where the plains roll into the foothills, and it has grown fast. Subdivisions have spread across what was farmland a decade ago, and with that growth comes plumbing calls that range from a brand-new tract home with a warranty issue to a 1980s house in Old Town Erie where the original galvanized supply is finally giving out.

Wes is a master plumber and a licensed plumbing contractor, which matters in Erie because a lot of jobs here are not just a plumbing fix. They are a remodel, a basement finish, or a bathroom addition that needs both a plumber and someone who can handle the build-back. One pro owns the whole thing, start to finish.

What Erie homes deal with

New homes, hard water, and fast growth.

Erie’s newer construction is not without plumbing problems. Homes built during the big subdivision booms of the 2000s and 2010s often went up fast, and Wes has seen his share of undersized supply lines, improperly vented drains, and water heaters that were never quite right from the start. Add in the hard water that comes with the Front Range mineral content, and water heater failures and scale buildup in fixtures are a regular call in Erie neighborhoods like Erie Commons, Compass, and Colliers Hill.

On the older side of town, the homes near Old Town Erie and along the original railroad corridors have their own issues: galvanized supply that has corroded down to a trickle, cast iron drain lines that have shifted with the clay soils, and gas lines that have never been properly tested. We scope, repair, and repipe with as little disruption as possible, and as a licensed GC, Wes handles the build-back so you do not end up with a plumbing fix and a wall that no one will close up.

Around Erie

From Old Town to the new subdivisions.

Erie started as a coal mining town in the 1800s, incorporated in 1874, and it sat quiet for most of a century before the Front Range growth wave hit. The town has grown from roughly 6,000 people in 2000 to well over 30,000 today, and that pace means you get two very different housing stocks sitting side by side.

In Old Town and the adjacent blocks, homes date from the early 1900s through the mid-century. These are the houses with narrow lots, original galvanized supply, cast iron drains, and crawl spaces that have never seen a plumber. We scope the sewer, check the supply pressure, and do the work carefully so the character of the house stays intact.

In the newer subdivisions like Colliers Hill, Compass, Erie Commons, and Vista Ridge, the calls are different: hard water scale on fixtures and heating elements, water heaters that have hit the end of their run, sump systems that were not sized right, and bathroom remodels in homes that are finally at the age where owners want to update them properly. Wes handles all of it, one pro from first look to final fixture.

One pro, the whole job

Everything plumbing in Erie.

From a backed-up drain to a full rough-in on a basement finish, Wes handles the lot in Erie for both residential and commercial work. Master plumber and licensed plumbing contractor under one hat means one person owns your job start to finish: no subbing it out, no finger-pointing, and a single number on the work. Take a look at our gallery to see how we leave a job.

That covers drain and sewer cleaning, water heaters tank and tankless, leak detection and pipe repair, repipes in copper or PEX, fixtures and appliances, water softeners to handle Erie’s hard water, and full bath, kitchen, and basement remodels. The combination of a master plumber’s license and a GC license is not common, and it saves Erie homeowners real money and real headaches because there is no handoff between trades, no contractor managing a subcontractor, and no one pointing at someone else when something needs fixing.

Erie is growing fast enough that we stay busy out here year-round. Whether you are in an older home near the coal-era neighborhoods or a newer build off Arapahoe Road, you get the same standard: honest diagnosis, a straight price before anything starts, clean work, and quality parts that will outlast the next owner too.

Straight answers

Questions we get a lot from Erie homeowners.

My Erie subdivision home has low water pressure. What causes that?

In Erie’s newer construction, undersized supply lines, a failing pressure regulator, or scale buildup from hard water are the three most common causes. We check all three before recommending anything. In older homes near Old Town Erie, corroded galvanized pipe is often the culprit, and a repipe in copper or PEX restores full pressure for good.

How do Erie’s hard water conditions affect my plumbing?

The Front Range has some of the hardest tap water in the country, and Erie is no exception. The calcium and magnesium in the water builds up inside water heater tanks, on heating elements, and in faucet aerators over time. It shortens water heater life and reduces fixture performance. A whole-house water softener is the permanent fix, and we install and service them across Erie.

Can you handle a bathroom remodel in an Erie home, and the finish work?

Yes. Wes holds both a master plumber’s license and a plumbing contractor license, so he can handle the plumbing rough-in, the tile work, fixtures, and the full build-back. One pro owns the project from demo to done, which means no hand-off between trades and no one pointing at someone else if something needs correcting.

Do you work on sump pump systems in Erie?

Yes. Erie’s clay soils and the water table in lower-lying parts of town make sump systems important in a lot of basements here. We install, replace, and service sump pumps and can add a battery backup so you stay protected when the power goes out during a storm.

Can you handle an Erie sewer line that keeps backing up?

Yes. We camera the line first to find out exactly what is going on, whether that is a root intrusion, a belly in the pipe, a cracked section, or buildup from years of use. From there we repair or replace, trenchless where the line allows, to keep your yard intact. Do not keep snaking the same backup over and over when a camera scope tells you what is really there.

Are you available for emergencies in Erie?

Yes, 24 hours a day. A burst pipe or a backed-up sewer does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call any time and we will get moving toward Erie as fast as we can.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Erie?

Yes. Wes holds a Colorado Master Plumber license (#MP.03001972) and a Colorado Plumbing Contractor license (#PC.0005413), and the company carries full insurance on every job in Erie and across the Front Range. That combination means one licensed pro can own your whole project, plumbing and the build around it, without needing to bring in a separate GC.

How do I get a price on an Erie plumbing job?

Call (303) 883-9075 or send a note from the contact page. For most jobs we will come look at the work and give you a straight number before anything starts, no pressure and no surprise charges. For simple repairs we can often give you a ballpark right over the phone.
