Colorado plumbing FAQ
How do I check a plumber's license in Colorado?
Colorado's State Plumbing Board, part of the Division of Professions and Occupations, licenses plumbers; most jurisdictions also require permits.
Do pipes freeze in Colorado?
Yes, regularly. Colorado winters freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and attics, and outdoor spigots that aren't frost-free. Keep the heat on, disconnect hoses in fall and know where your main shutoff is.
Is Colorado water hard?
Generally moderate, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.
How old are homes in Colorado?
Census estimates for Colorado put 16% of homes as built before 1960, 24% from 1960 to 1979, 29% from 1980 to 1999 and 31% in 2000 or later. Older homes are more likely to have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay sewer lines.
