When something breaks in your plumbing, you want it diagnosed right and fixed right, not patched over. FoCo Plumbing, powered by Top Notch Plumbing, handles plumbing repairs across Northern Colorado for homes and businesses. Our three Colorado licensed master plumbers bring 60 years of combined experience to every call, which means we spend less time guessing and more time solving.
Leaks and Pipe Repair
Leaks are the repair we chase most, and they come in every form. A visible drip under a sink is easy. A hidden leak inside a wall, under a slab, or in a supply line running through the ceiling is the one that quietly does damage. We track leaks to their source, repair the pipe or joint properly, and check the surrounding lines so you're not calling back next month for the next weak spot.
Water Heaters
No hot water, water that never gets hot enough, rusty water, or a tank that's leaking at the base; these are all water heater issues we handle. Sometimes it's a repairable part like a heating element or a valve. Sometimes the tank is done and replacement is the smarter move. We give you the honest read so you can make the call that fits your situation.
Drains and Clogs
A clogged drain that won't clear with the basics needs a real fix, not more chemicals down the pipe. We clear stubborn kitchen, bathroom, and main line clogs and figure out what's causing the backup, whether it's grease, buildup, or something in the line that shouldn't be there. Recurring clogs usually point to a deeper issue worth addressing.
Fixtures and Everything Else
Toilets that won't stop running, faucets that drip, shower valves that won't hold temperature, and shutoff valves that have seized; we repair the day-to-day fixtures that wear out over time. And because we back our labor with a one-year warranty, the repair is meant to hold. If it doesn't, we come back.
One thing that sets a good repair apart is diagnosis. Plenty of plumbing problems have a symptom in one place and a cause somewhere else. Low pressure at a single faucet might be an aerator; low pressure across the house points to a regulator or a supply issue. A recurring drip after a fixture repair might mean the underlying valve seat is worn, not just the washer. We take the time to find the actual cause so the fix lasts, and we tell you plainly what we found.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I shut off my water in an emergency?
For a single fixture, look for the shutoff valve under the sink or behind the toilet and turn it clockwise. For a whole-house shutoff, find your main valve, often near where the water line enters the home or by the water meter, and close it. Knowing where your main shutoff is before an emergency saves a lot of water damage.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the age of the unit and the problem. A bad element or valve on a reasonably new heater is worth repairing. A tank that's corroded, leaking at the base, or well past its expected life is usually better replaced. We'll look at yours and give you a straight recommendation.
Why does my drain keep clogging after I clear it?
Recurring clogs usually mean the underlying buildup or obstruction wasn't fully removed, or there's a deeper issue in the line. Chemical drain cleaners often just punch a temporary hole through the blockage. We clear the line properly and identify what's causing the pattern so it doesn't keep repeating.
Do your repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. We back our labor with a one-year warranty. If a repair we made doesn't hold up, we'll come back and take care of it. We'd rather do it right and stand behind it than rush and leave you with the same problem.
