Faucet Repair in Dacono, CO

What's behind most Dacono faucet calls?

Ordinary wear. Every time a faucet opens and closes, its seals flex and rub. In single-lever faucets, the cartridge seals eventually flatten or crack, and the faucet drips from the spout or leaks under the handle. In two-handle faucets, rubber washers press against a metal seat until they wear out. Dacono, settled in 1901 by coal miners and now one of the Carbon Valley Tri-Towns with Frederick and Firestone, has both older homes near the original town and newer subdivisions such as Eagle Meadow, so plumbers here see both types. Information about the hardness of Dacono's water was not available for this page, so whether scale is adding to the wear is something the plumber judges by looking at the parts.

Who supplies water in Dacono?

The City of Dacono runs its own water department under Public Works, with customer service at City Hall on Cherry Avenue; the Water Department's number is 303-833-2317, extension 121. Central Weld County Water District's service area also includes the Tri-Town area, so if your bill comes from a district rather than the city, that district is your contact for water outside the house. Sewer service comes from St. Vrain Sanitation District, which treats the building sewer line as the property owner's responsibility and staffs a 24-hour line for backups. Inside the house, faucets, stop valves and supply lines are the owner's.

Do I need a permit to work on a faucet in Dacono?

Building services in Dacono run through City of Dacono Community Development, with the work contracted to SAFEbuilt. A like-for-like faucet repair rarely needs a permit, but adding or moving water lines is a different matter. The plumber can tell you whether your job requires one, and Community Development can confirm.

A local note

Dacono sits on the open plains along I-25, where winter winds make hose bibs on exposed walls vulnerable. Disconnect hoses in fall so water can drain from the spigot. If a bib leaks inside the wall when you first use it in spring, shut it off and have it replaced, ideally with a frost-free model. Indoors, if one builder-installed faucet in a newer home starts to drip, others of the same age may soon follow, so it can pay to have them checked in one visit.
