If a pipe bursts in your Parker home, shut off the main water valve and keep away from wet electrical outlets. A plumber can locate the split, replace the damaged length and test the line. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Parker.
What happens when you call
The number here puts you in touch with an independent plumber who works in Parker. Tell them where water is showing up, whether the main is off and what the pipe looks like. Once on site, the plumber confirms the shutoff, opens the wall or ceiling only as far as needed, cuts out the damaged pipe and joins in new. The water goes back on gradually while the plumber watches the fittings and checks other lines that run through the same cold space.
What changes the cost
- Access: finished basements and vaulted rooms mean more drywall to open and patch.
- Pipe type: matching copper or PEX is routine; mixed materials take more parts.
- How many breaks: one cold night can split a line in several places.
- Underground work: a leak on the buried line to the house means digging.
- Permits: plumbing alterations in the Town of Parker need a Building Division permit.
- Timing: nights and weekends usually cost more.
Parker's water districts
Parker Water and Sanitation District (PWSD) is a special district separate from the Town of Parker. It serves the town and nearby areas, but not everyone: the Parker Chronicle reports that Stroh and Hess Ranch residents are outside its boundaries, and The Pinery south of town is served by Pinery Water and Wastewater District. Your bill tells you which one to call about anything on the public side. PWSD's office line is 303-841-4627 during business hours, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Most of Parker's homes are relatively new, so bursts here tend to come from lines in garages, attics, cantilevered floors and exterior walls rather than worn-out pipe. A sharp cold front after mild weather is the usual culprit. The Town's Building Division handles permits inside town limits through eTRAKiT; for unincorporated areas such as The Pinery and Stonegate, permits come from Douglas County.
Checklist before the plumber arrives
- Main valve off, and a low faucet open to drain the lines
- Power off to wet outlets and appliances
- Water heater off or on pilot
- Photos of the break before cleanup
- Clear access to the area and the main valve
