Emergency Plumber Lakewood is a local plumbing team based at 200 Union Blvd in Lakewood, Colorado, open 24 hours every day. We work on the plumbing Lakewood homes actually have: 1950s to 1970s houses with galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and clay laterals, alongside newer homes with PEX and copper. The citywide median year built is 1977, and 56% of Lakewood homes were built before 1980, so much of the pipework we see is at or past the age it was built for.
What we do is straightforward: we look at the problem, explain what failed in plain language, and talk through the work and the cost before anything starts. Emergency calls, drain cleaning, sewer repair and replacement, water heaters, leak detection, repiping, fixtures, and gas lines are the work we do across Lakewood's 23 neighborhoods, from Applewood and Eiber in the north to Bear Creek and Grant Ranch in the south.


One team handles the whole system, from the main shutoff to the last fixture. Lakewood's housing shapes the work: most homes were built in the 1950s to 1970s, and homes of that era typically have galvanized supply, cast-iron drains, and clay laterals, with bentonite clay soil shifting sewer joints and a first freeze that usually arrives in late October to mid-November. Water comes from more than one provider, and the provider follows the address, so we confirm it per job. If you need an emergency plumber in Lakewood, call (720) 909-6690 any hour.
For a burst pipe, a sewer backup, or no hot water at any hour, call and we will talk through the next step and arrange a visit.

Most Lakewood homes were built in the 1950s to 1970s, and homes of that era typically have galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and clay laterals. We work with that pipe stock every day, from Applewood to Green Mountain.

Call (720) 909-6690 any hour. Tell us what is happening, and we will talk through the next step and arrange a visit.
We inspect the problem, run a sewer camera or leak detection gear if the job calls for it, and show you what failed. You see the issue before we talk about the work.
We explain what the repair or replacement involves and what it costs. If you want a second opinion, that is fine too. No pressure.
We make the repair, then pressure test or flow test the line. You see it working before we pack up and clean the work area.
You call, we answer. From there it is a simple path: diagnose, talk through the work, fix, test.
Most calls fall into a handful of categories. Here is what we see most often and how we handle it, from frozen pipes in January to slab leaks in summer. If you smell gas, leave the property first and call 911 or Xcel Energy, then call us.
Shut off the main if you can do so safely, then call us. We cut out the failed section and replace it with copper or PEX, test the repair, and check the surrounding line for weak spots before we leave.
We clear the main line, then run a sewer camera to confirm the pipe is intact. If we find a crack, offset, or root damage, we talk through a targeted repair or replacement.
We diagnose the water heater on site. If it is a failed element or thermocouple, we fix it. If the tank is rusted through, we talk through a replacement, sized for Lakewood’s altitude and colder winter inlet water.
We pinpoint the leak with acoustic gear and camera equipment, then repair the line with minimal concrete removal. You get a tested line and a clear explanation of what was done.

Amazing company! These guys would put Mario and Luigi to shame. Very detail oriented and thorough with their jobs and surprisingly affordable. Also extremely quick with follow up and responding to messages and phone calls.
