Emergency Plumber in Franktown, CO

Local conditions in Franktown

Franktown is a small unincorporated ranching and farming community at the junction of State Highways 83 and 86, about 7 miles east of Castle Rock and 9 miles south of Parker, and it has kept a distinctly rural identity. Our research did not identify a water or sewer provider for Franktown, and we are not going to guess. What serves a given property can vary, so check your water and sewer bills; if you do not receive them, Douglas County can help you sort out what serves the home. Inside the house, from the main valve onward, repairs are a plumber's job either way.

Natural gas in the Franktown area comes from Black Hills Energy, according to its Colorado tariff, though coverage of outlying rural parcels was not confirmed. If your home is on Black Hills gas, its emergency number is on your bill. Because Franktown is unincorporated, plumbing permits come from the Douglas County Building Division in Castle Rock, which issues a mechanical and plumbing permit.

Plumber or someone else?

Signs it is an emergency

• Water spraying or pooling inside the house
• Sewage rising in a tub or floor drain
• A water heater leaking from the tank
• No water at any tap
• A pipe in a garage, barn or exterior wall that froze and split

Timing and seasonal notes

Hard freezes and fast temperature swings are tough on pipes in garages, outbuildings and exterior walls, and the leak often appears when the pipe thaws in the afternoon. Shut off and drain outdoor lines before winter. Rural calls can take longer to reach, and night, weekend and holiday visits usually cost more. Ask about pricing when you call, and have the address and a description of what failed ready. No arrival time is promised.
