Plumber in Severance
Northern Weld growth corridor north of Windsor.
Severance has grown rapidly from a small rural community into one of northern Weld County’s significant residential towns. Located north of Windsor and east of the Cache la Poudre River on US 85, the town has attracted families pushed out of the more expensive Larimer County communities to the west, and its housing stock reflects that growth: a small historic core and a large expansion of newer construction built in the 2000s through the present. Severance is still growing, with new subdivisions continuing to break ground on the surrounding farmland.
When a town grows that fast, a lot of houses get plumbed by crews working on a production schedule, and the quality of a rough-in shows up years later rather than at final inspection. The things that matter are unglamorous: whether PEX runs were supported at proper intervals or left to sag and trap air, whether they were kept off sharp framing edges and away from heat sources, whether the manifold is somewhere a person can actually reach, whether every fixture got a real shutoff instead of the cheapest plastic stop in the bin. A house with those details handled right stays quiet for decades. A house without them starts generating small annoying calls around year seven.
The good news is that most of it is correctable without tearing a house apart. Angle stops swap out in minutes. A poorly supported run can be secured through an access point. A manifold buried behind finished storage can be given a proper access panel. Wes would rather fix the two or three things that will actually cause trouble than sell a homeowner on a repipe they do not need.
Wes serves Severance with the same standard as every community on the Northern Front Range: straight diagnosis, honest price, master plumber and licensed GC who owns the whole job. Holding both licenses is what makes that literal. When a repair means opening a wall or a ceiling, the same person patches, textures, and puts the room back rather than leaving you to find a drywall crew.

Rapid growth, Weld County hard water, new construction
Growth community: new construction at its first service interval.
Weld County water is hard across the county, and Severance is no exception. Newer construction in Severance has PEX supply that handles hard water better than older galvanized, but water heaters in homes built during the growth period are reaching their first service interval and accumulate scale from the local hard water faster than manufacturer timelines suggest. Wes services water heaters in Severance with the local water chemistry in mind and advises on water softener installation for homes where the hard water problem is worth addressing.
Softeners get sold badly, so here is how the decision actually works. Sizing comes from two numbers: how hard the water tests, and how much water the household uses in a day. Multiply those and you get the grain load the unit has to handle between regenerations. Undersize it and it regenerates constantly, burns salt, and still lets hard water through late in the cycle. Oversize it and you paid for capacity you will never use. A unit sized to the house, plumbed with a bypass so it can be serviced without shutting the whole home down, and set to regenerate on demand rather than on a timer is the version worth owning.
What a softener will not fix is worth stating too. It does not remove iron staining, it does not address a sulfur smell, and it does not make water safe that was not safe already. Those are filtration questions, and the only responsible way to answer them is to test first. Wes would rather test and install the right equipment once than sell a softener for a problem it cannot solve.
The last predictable cost here is winter. The frost line runs deep, the wind across open ground north of Windsor is constant, and the failures land in the same places every year: hose bibs with a hose still attached, irrigation manifolds that were not blown out early enough, and supply lines run through garages or along exterior walls. Pull hoses in the fall, winterize before the first sustained freeze instead of by the calendar, and insulate exposed runs. It is cheap work compared to the ceiling underneath a burst line.

One pro, the whole job
Every plumbing need in Severance covered.
Severance homeowners have one number for plumbing. Water heaters, drain cleaning, leak detection, fixture installs, gas line work, and emergency calls. Call (303) 883-9075 or reach out here.
All of it runs through one shop: drains and sewer lines, water heaters, pipe and leak repair, fixtures and appliances, and remodels and new construction. Because Wes carries a master plumber license and a general contractor license together, a job that turns into drywall, tile, or framing does not need a second contractor. One person is answerable for the finished result.
Around town
Where we work in Severance.
We cover all of Severance, from the older established neighborhoods near the original town center to the newer subdivisions that have grown rapidly in the past decade along the US 85 corridor north of Windsor.
Because so much of the housing here went up in the same stretch of years, the calls tend to arrive in waves. A neighborhood built together reaches its first water heater failures together, its first round of angle stop and fill valve replacements together, and its first cartridge-and-shower-valve complaints together. That is not bad luck, it is just a build date showing up on schedule. Knowing roughly when a house was finished tells us a lot about what is coming, and it makes maintenance something you can plan for instead of react to.
Severance sits inside the wider Weld County service area, alongside Windsor, Greeley, and the towns along US 85. Travel is part of the job, not a separate charge on the invoice.

Questions we get in Severance.
What plumbing services do you provide in Severance?
Just about anything on a residential or light commercial system: drains and sewer lines, water heaters tank and tankless, leak detection, pipe repair and full repipes, fixtures and appliance hookups, gas lines, softeners and sump pumps, and full bath and kitchen remodels. Because Wes carries a GC license too, remodel work does not stop at the pipe.
How is a water softener sized, and how do I know I am not being oversold?
Two numbers set the size: how hard the water tests and how much the household uses in a day. Together those give the grain load between regenerations. Undersized units regenerate constantly, burn salt, and still pass hard water late in the cycle. Oversized units are capacity you paid for and will not use. Ask for the test result and the sizing math. Any honest answer includes both.
How far do you travel to Severance?
We serve Severance and all of Weld County. Wes drives out regularly for service calls, repairs, and project work. Travel is included in the job, not a separate charge.
Everyone on my street seems to need the same repair at the same time. Why?
Because the street was built at the same time. A neighborhood that went up together reaches its first water heater failures together, its first round of shutoff valve and fill valve replacements together, and its first shower cartridge complaints together. It is a build date showing up on schedule, not bad luck. Knowing when a house was finished tells us most of what is coming next.
Can plumbing problems in a newer home be fixed without a full repipe?
Usually, yes. In newer construction the pipe itself is generally sound and the trouble is in the details: cheap plastic angle stops, unsupported runs that sag and trap air, a manifold nobody can reach, builder-grade cartridges. Those are correctable one at a time through small access points. We would rather fix the two or three things causing actual problems than sell a repipe that is not warranted.
Do you answer emergency calls in Severance?
Yes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Burst pipes, sewer backups, and water heater failures do not keep business hours. Call (303) 883-9075 any time and we will get moving.
