Faucet Repair in Colorado: Call a Local Pro
From Denver to Fort Collins, Colorado faucets deal with sudden freezes, dry mountain air and water that ranges from soft to moderately hard. Call (888) 554-0426 and we connect you with an independent contractor who serves your area.
How do I get faucet repair help in Colorado?
Call the number on this page, tell us your city or zip code and what the faucet is doing, and we connect you with an independent local contractor. Our service is free to homeowners. You agree on the price and timing with the contractor and pay the contractor directly.
Colorado has big temperature swings, older brick homes in the cities and many newer suburbs. A spigot split by a surprise October freeze in Denver is a different problem than a drip in a newer Aurora home. That is why we build local pages for each city, with the details that matter there.

Why do faucet problems differ across Colorado?
Faucet problems differ across Colorado because climate, building age and water hardness vary. Sudden freezes crack outdoor spigots and pipes. Older homes have old valves and galvanized lines. Water is soft to moderately hard in the big Front Range cities, so scale is lighter than in the Southwest.
Water
Utility-reported data puts Denver, Aurora, Thornton and Arvada in the moderately hard range, Westminster in the hard range, and Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder, Greeley and Longmont in the soft range. Soft to moderately hard water means thinner mineral film and fewer scale problems, but sediment, worn parts and old pipes still cause plenty of faucet trouble. Sources do not always agree, so your water provider can tell you more.
| City | Water hardness (utility-reported) |
|---|---|
| Denver | Moderately hard |
| Colorado Springs | Soft |
| Aurora | Moderately hard |
| Fort Collins | Soft |
| Boulder | Soft |
| Thornton | Moderately hard |
| Arvada | Moderately hard |
| Westminster | Hard |
| Greeley | Soft |
| Longmont | Soft |
Weather
Colorado has cold winters, dry air and wide temperature swings. A warm day can be followed by a hard freeze, which catches people with hoses still attached. Pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces can freeze and burst. Hail and wind are also common along the Front Range.
Homes
Many Front Range cities have older brick bungalows and Victorians with original valves and galvanized pipes, often remodeled in pieces. Suburban homes from the 1970s through the 2000s have builder-grade faucets now wearing out. College towns and military areas have many rentals, so a repair may involve a landlord.

How do I protect faucets from freezing in Colorado?
Remove and drain hoses by October, shut off the indoor valve to outdoor spigots and drain them. Insulate pipes in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls, keep heat on when you travel, and know where your main shut-off is. Never use a torch to thaw a frozen pipe.
- Hoses: remove and drain them before the first hard freeze, usually by October.
- Spigots: shut off the indoor valve, drain the outdoor faucet and add a foam cover.
- Sprinklers: have the system blown out in fall.
- Exposed pipes: insulate pipes in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls.
- Away from home: keep the heat on at a safe setting, or shut off and drain the water.
- Shut-offs: find the main valve now, not during a leak.
After a freeze: Cracked pipes may only leak once they thaw. If you see water, shut off the main valve and call a pro. See our outdoor faucet repair guide and emergency faucet repair guide.
