What faucet problems are common in Denver?

Denver faucet problems include pipes frozen in sudden cold snaps, outdoor spigots split after a warm day is followed by a hard freeze, light mineral film from moderately hard water, and old valves and galvanized lines in the city’s many pre-1950 brick homes.

Denver has big temperature swings, and a 60-degree day can be followed by a hard freeze. Water is moderately hard, so some mineral film forms. Many central neighborhoods have brick bungalows and Victorians with original plumbing.

What you see	Common cause in Denver
No water after a cold night	Frozen line in an exterior wall or crawl space
Spigot cracked in spring	Frozen after a warm spell and a sudden cold snap
Low flow through the whole house	Old galvanized pipes narrowing inside
Film on the spout	Moderately hard water minerals
Basement faucet drips	Old valve or washer in an unheated space

Many Denver homes from the early 1900s have been updated in pieces, so new faucets may sit on old valves and old galvanized lines. A pro can check the faucet, the valves and the supply lines together and tell you whether to repair or replace.

How does Denver's water affect faucets?

Utility data puts Denver water in the moderately hard range. Some film builds on spouts and aerators, but it is lighter than in the hard-water cities of the Southwest. Clean aerators now and then, replace worn parts early and focus on protecting pipes from freezing.

Moderately hard water leaves a thin crust and can slowly clog aerators. Heavy scale is less common. In older homes, rust and sediment from aging pipes can also clog screens, so brown water or weak flow at every faucet may mean the pipes, not just the faucet.

How does Denver's weather affect faucets?

Denver has cold winters, dry air and sudden swings between warm and freezing. A warm day can lead to a hard freeze overnight, which catches people with hoses still attached. Remove hoses by October, shut off and drain outdoor lines and insulate exposed pipes.

Many Denver homeowners blow out their sprinklers in the fall, and that is also the time to shut off indoor valves to outdoor spigots. Hail and wind storms can also damage outdoor fixtures. A pipe that froze may only leak once it thaws. Our outdoor faucet repair guide has steps.

What should I do first if a faucet leaks in Denver?

If a faucet is leaking in Denver, shut off the valves under the sink right away, turning each one clockwise. If there are no valves, or they will not turn, shut off the main water valve. Then call a pro, and use towels to protect the floor and cabinets.

Turn the sink valves clockwise until they stop.
Use the main valve if the sink valves fail.
Move rugs and items away from the water.
Soak up water so it does not reach cabinets and floors.
Take a photo of the leak for the contractor and your records.

If a faucet has no water after a cold night, a pipe may be frozen. Shut off the main valve, open the faucet and call a pro. Do not use a torch. In an older brick home, find the main valve before winter.
