A Henderson plumbing inspection covers the water heater, supply and drain piping, shutoffs, fixtures and pressure, and can include a camera run of the sewer line. Henderson is a patchwork of unincorporated land and parcels annexed by neighboring cities, so the plumber will also help you pin down who serves the address. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Henderson.
When it makes sense
- You are buying and the general inspector flagged the plumbing
- Nobody is sure who supplies the water or handles the sewer
- The water heater is old or its age is unknown
- A floor drain is slow or there has been a sewer backup
- You plan to remodel and want to know what is behind the walls
How things work in Henderson
Henderson is a small unincorporated community in Adams County, with a post office dating to 1894 and a few older buildings along Brighton Road. Much of the surrounding area has been annexed by Commerce City, Brighton and Thornton, so the water provider and permit office depend on the exact address.
We could not confirm a single water or sewer provider for Henderson homes. Annexed parcels may be served through Commerce City's provider, Brighton or Thornton, and Hazeltine Heights Water and Sanitation District, a small domestic water district based in Henderson, serves some customers. Where Hazeltine Heights serves, the customer is responsible for the service line from the downstream side of the meter pit to the home and for any required backflow devices. For any other address, check the water bill or ask Adams County before assuming who owns what. A plumber can also look at how the line enters the house and whether the home has a second water source.
Because providers vary, there is no single backflow testing schedule to point to here. If the property has irrigation or a well, ask the provider on the bill what it requires.
What affects the price
- House size and the number of bathrooms and fixtures
- Adding a sewer camera run
- Older outbuildings or additions with their own plumbing
- Crawl space access
- Whether you need a written report
When you call
You'll be connected with an independent plumber who covers the Henderson area. Have the address and any water or sewer bills handy. For unincorporated addresses, Adams County requires a building permit for water heater installation or replacement and for plumbing modifications, issued through its One Stop Permitting Center; annexed parcels go through Commerce City, Brighton or Thornton. We could not verify the gas utility for Henderson, so if you smell gas, leave the house first, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside.
