Boulder plumbing has a water quality problem and an age problem
Two things shape almost every call we take in Boulder. The first is the housing: the Whittier, Mapleton Hill, and University Hill neighborhoods hold some of the oldest continuously occupied homes on the Front Range, with sewer laterals that predate the Second World War. The second is what Boulder does to fixtures. The city's water is treated well but runs hard enough to scale heaters and seize cartridges, and homes on wells outside city limits deal with sediment on top of that. Fixing the symptom without addressing the water usually means seeing us again.
Victorian cores, student rentals, and mountain-adjacent builds
Mapleton Hill and Whittier homes from the 1880s through the 1920s have had their plumbing replaced in pieces over more than a century, which means a single house can contain lead-jointed cast iron, galvanized, copper, and PEX. University Hill carries the same age with heavy rental use layered on top: eight people sharing a kitchen designed for four puts grease and load through drains at a rate the original pipe never anticipated. Homes up toward the foothills and in the canyons add well systems, pressure tanks, and freeze exposure on lines run through uninsulated crawlspaces. Each of those three Boulders needs a different first question.
