In a Bennett plumbing emergency, close the main valve, and if you smell gas, leave and call 911 and Colorado Natural Gas at 1-800-883-3181 from a safe place. Then call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Bennett.
How the call works
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who covers Bennett. You will be asked what failed, whether the water is off and where the home is, including whether it is inside town limits. Ask about after-hours pricing before anyone heads out. Arrival depends on the hour, the drive and the plumber's workload, so no specific time is promised.
Cost factors
- Timing. Night, weekend and holiday visits usually cost more.
- Distance. Bennett sits about 29 miles from downtown Denver, so travel can factor in.
- Access. A leak in an open basement is quicker to fix than one behind finished walls.
- Scope and code. A fitting is quick; a water heater replacement is bigger. The Town of Bennett Building Department reviews permits and enforces the 2024 International Codes, including the plumbing and fuel gas codes.
Local conditions in Bennett
Inside town limits, the Town of Bennett supplies, treats and delivers water drawn from Denver Basin aquifer wells and disinfected with chlorine. The town also runs its own sewer treatment plant, the Water Resource Recovery Facility. Bennett Public Works answers at 303.644.3249, extension 1014. The 80102 ZIP also covers unincorporated land in Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties outside town limits, where water and sewer service were not verified in our research, so if you do not get a town utility bill, your provider is someone else. The sheet we use does not say where the town's part of a service line ends; call Public Works before assuming a yard leak is yours.
Housing is mostly recent: the median home was built in 2000, and about 27.4% predate 1980. Newer homes tend to have emergencies involving water heaters, washer hoses and frozen hose bibs, while the older share is more likely to have worn valves and drain lines. Natural gas in town comes from Colorado Natural Gas, not Xcel Energy, and its 24-hour line for a gas emergency or suspected leak is 1-800-883-3181. Plains wind and hard freezes are rough on pipes in garages and exterior walls.
Before the plumber arrives
- Main valve closed and a low faucet opened
- Water heater gas or power off if it is leaking
- Drains unused if anything is backing up
- Photos of the damage
- Driveway and path to the mechanical room clear
