Plumbers in High Country, Colorado

A huge fraction of High Country property sits empty for weeks at a time, which is why freeze-burst events here are discovered late and cause far more water damage than the same failure in an occupied Front Range house. Mountain municipal water is generally soft and low in minerals, which is kind to heaters, but soft, slightly acidic water is harder on copper over time and produces pinhole leaks in older systems. The recurring calls are drain and sewer blockages, water heater failures, hidden leaks and emergency supply-line breaks.
