Serving Clear Creek County
High-country plumbing done right.
Clear Creek County sits above 7,000 feet, and the pipe systems up here face things the flatlands never deal with: hard mountain water that builds scale fast, freeze-thaw stress on supply lines every shoulder season, and infrastructure in Idaho Springs, Georgetown, and Silver Plume that dates back to the mining era. Empire and the scattered rural properties along Clear Creek add a few more wrinkles: long supply runs, well and spring-fed systems, and propane water heaters that see hard use.
We make the drive from Littleton regularly, and we arrive ready for whatever the county throws at us. One master plumber and licensed GC handles it all, from a busted water heater in Idaho Springs to a full bathroom remodel in Georgetown.

What this county throws at pipe
Altitude, age, and hard water in one county.
The plumbing challenges in Clear Creek County are a direct result of where the county sits. Idaho Springs is the hub town, and the older neighborhoods there carry cast-iron drain lines and galvanized supply that were installed decades ago, long before modern materials. Georgetown’s Victorian-era homes on the National Register have beautiful bones and plumbing that needs careful, experienced hands. Silver Plume sits at nearly 9,100 feet where winter is long and hard on every pipe in the wall.
Across the county, scale buildup from the hard mineral content of mountain snowmelt runs through every water heater and fixture. Tankless units struggle without regular maintenance, and traditional tanks calcify and lose efficiency years before they should. We address the root cause every time: descaling, anode rod service, proper installation for altitude, and real pipe repair instead of a patch that fails again next season.
Whether you are full-time in Empire or splitting time between Denver and a Georgetown cabin, one call to (303) 883-9075 gets a master plumber on the road to you.
Across Clear Creek County
One pro for the whole mountain county.
When you are dealing with a plumbing problem in the mountains, the last thing you need is a company that subcontracts the job out or sends a crew that has never worked at altitude. Wes makes the run himself. You get the master plumber on the truck, not a helper who has to call someone else when it gets complicated.
That matters in a county like Clear Creek where a “simple” water heater swap in a Georgetown basement means working in a tight Victorian crawlspace with an old vent configuration, or where an Idaho Springs kitchen remodel involves original knob-and-tube plumbing that has to be brought up to code before the new fixtures go in. Wes holds both a Master Plumber license (#MP.03001972) and a Plumbing Contractor license (#PC.0005413), so when the plumbing work uncovers a framing or permitting issue, we handle that too. No handoffs, no gaps.

Whole-job plumbing for Clear Creek County.
Clear Creek County is not a place where you want to learn on the job. The combination of altitude, hard water, aging infrastructure in the historic towns, and the seasonal demands of a mountain climate means a plumber working up here needs experience and a broad scope. Wes brings both, plus the Plumbing Contractor license to back it up.
Idaho Springs homeowners call us for water heater replacements, drain cleaning, leak detection, and full kitchen and bathroom remodels. Georgetown property owners trust us with their historic homes, where the work has to be careful and code-correct. Empire and Silver Plume residents count on us to show up when other contractors wave off the drive. We take the whole county.

Straight answers
Questions we get about Clear Creek County.
Do you serve all of Clear Creek County?
Yes. We cover Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Empire, and Silver Plume, along with the rural and unincorporated parts of the county. If you are not sure we reach your address, call and we will tell you straight.
How far is the drive from Littleton to Idaho Springs?
Roughly 45 minutes on I-70 under normal conditions. We factor drive time into our scheduling so you are not waiting half a day for a plumber. For genuine emergencies we move as fast as road and weather allow and communicate our ETA honestly.
Do you work on older homes in Georgetown and Silver Plume?
Yes, and we do it carefully. The historic Victorian-era homes in Georgetown and the older mining-era properties in Silver Plume have original cast-iron drain lines, galvanized supply, and vent configurations that require real experience. Wes has worked on houses like these many times and holds the Plumbing Contractor license to handle any structural work the plumbing uncovers.
Does altitude affect water heaters and plumbing up here?
It does. Water heaters, especially gas units, need to be rated and installed correctly for high-altitude combustion. Hard mountain water also builds scale faster than lowland water, shortening the life of tanks and clogging fixtures earlier. We size and install units properly for Clear Creek County elevations and advise on maintenance that extends the life of your equipment in this climate.
Do you handle plumbing for cabin and vacation properties in Clear Creek County?
Yes. We work with both full-time residents and part-time cabin owners throughout the county. We can coordinate access when you are not on-site and communicate with you by phone or text, and we provide written documentation of everything done so you have a record for insurance and future sales.
Are you licensed and insured for work in Clear Creek County?
Yes. Wes holds Master Plumber license #MP.03001972 and Plumbing Contractor license #PC.0005413. The company is fully insured. All work is permitted and inspected where required, whether in Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Empire, or Silver Plume.
