Local Plumbing company in Parachute, CO

From one end of Parachute to the other, and out across Garfield County, our crew covers it, working Una. Parachute is one of the communities of Garfield County, Colorado. Homes here sit in Colorado's high country, and we tailor every job to it. Every job runs from a fully-stocked truck at a flat, written rate, backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Parachute's climate story is Colorado's high country — a high-elevation mountain climate — cold, snowy winters, dry, mild summers, and large elevation-driven temperature swings. On a home's plumbing that translates to deep winter cold that freezes exposed and buried supply lines, a long frost season that cracks pipe at the joints, and frozen exterior spigots and hose bibs at altitude — which is why we spec corrosion- and freeze-rated pipe, fittings, and equipment for the local climate.

Ask what breaks most in Parachute homes and the answer is frozen and burst supply lines at altitude, low water pressure from scaled supply lines, and sediment-packed water heaters losing capacity. None of it is coincidence — 164 days below freezing a year freeze and split supply lines and outdoor spigots, 30 inches of snow and a long frost season keep buried lines cold enough to crack at the joints, and 42 days above 90°F push water heaters and expansion tanks to their limit. We stock every Parachute truck for precisely this corrosion and wear, and fix it in a single visit.

30 inches of snow, 164 days below freezing, 42 days above 90°F, barely 14 inches of rain, and a 30°F day-to-night swing a year: that's Colorado in NOAA's 1991–2020 normals, and the baseline we protect Parachute plumbing against.

Per the Census, pre-1980 construction makes up 17% of Parachute's homes (median build year 1989). At that age, original galvanized or polybutylene pipe, corroded fittings, and worn-out water heaters are the rule rather than the exception, so we treat age-related wear as part of the job, not a surprise. Detached single-family houses make up 41% of the Parachute stock (median value ~$245k) — the housing type with its own water heater, service lateral, and outdoor spigots to maintain.

Here's what actually prevents plumbing calls for Parachute homes in Colorado's high country: insulate exposed supply lines and disconnect garden hoses before winter — 164 freezing days a year can freeze and split unprotected pipe; keep outdoor spigots and any exposed pipe runs clear of snow and ice so they can't freeze solid (30 inches fall here in a normal year); and flush the water heater and check the expansion tank each summer — 42 days above 90°F push water heaters hard.
