Before you sign
What to ask a Aurora contractor first
- 01
How many days will water be shut off, and will a temporary supply keep at least one bathroom usable overnight?
- 02
Does the scope cover drywall patching, texturing and paint, or only closing the access openings in rough condition?
- 03
Will every fixture, hose bib and appliance line be reconnected, including the water heater, ice maker and outdoor spigots?
Before anyone touches a pipe
Verify the licence. It takes two minutes.
- Who licenses the work: State Plumbing Board, Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations (DORA) together with the local jurisdiction.
- Who pulls the permit: Aurora Building Division — the licensed contractor, never the homeowner.
- What to ask for: the licence number, the registered name behind it, and an insurance certificate issued to the property address.
Answers first
Repiping in Aurora — common questions
How do I know if my house needs repiping?
The usual triggers are the material itself (galvanised steel or polybutylene), repeated pinhole leaks across the system rather than at one spot, and discoloured water at multiple fixtures. One leak in one place is a repair; a pattern across the house is a repipe conversation.
PEX or copper?
PEX installs faster, costs less in labour, tolerates freezing better and has fewer joints in walls. Copper has a longer track record and is preferred by some jurisdictions and some buyers. Local code, water chemistry and your resale plans all factor in — ask the contractor to justify the choice for your specific house.
How long does a whole-house repipe take?
For a typical single-family home, commonly a few days of pipe work plus separate drywall repair and inspection. Water is usually off only for part of each working day rather than continuously.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Aurora?
Permits in Aurora are issued by Aurora Building Division. As a rule, water heater replacement, gas work, sewer laterals and repiping are permitted work, while a like-for-like faucet or disposal swap usually is not. A licensed contractor pulls the permit — if one offers to skip it, that is the signal to stop.
Which areas does PlumberColorado cover?
All of Colorado: the site lists every covered city with real ZIP codes, the county permit authority and nearby coverage, so requests route to a professional already working that area.
Is PlumberColorado a plumbing company?
No. Independent licensed professionals perform and contract the work directly with you. PlumberColorado routes the request and links every page to the official Colorado licence register.
Does PlumberColorado charge homeowners anything?
No. PlumberColorado may be compensated by a partner when a homeowner connects with a professional through the site. That never changes what the contractor charges for the job.
Does calling create any obligation to hire?
None. A call or a callback request is a conversation, not a contract. Scope, timing and price are only agreed if you decide to proceed with the professional handling Aurora.
