Plumbing service built for Applewood homes
Applewood sits on the west edge of the metro between Golden and Wheat Ridge, and its lots are large, mature, and full of old trees. That combination is the whole story for plumbers here. Big cottonwoods and silver maples put root systems straight through clay sewer laterals that were laid in the 1950s and 1960s. We spend more time running cameras and cable in Applewood than almost anywhere else we work. Call us and we will tell you what is in the line before we quote a repair.
What the housing stock means for your pipes
Most of Applewood was built out between 1948 and 1972, which puts nearly every original home in the galvanized supply and cast iron or clay drain era. Galvanized supply lines scale shut from the inside and drop your pressure a little every year until a shower on the second floor turns into a trickle. Clay drain lines do not corrode, they simply separate at the joints and let roots in. Homes that have been remodeled often have copper or PEX in the finished areas and forty year old pipe everywhere else, which is why we inspect the whole system rather than the one fixture you called about.
