A Boulder-Based Plumbing Company
Boulder Express Plumbing is a local plumbing company serving Boulder, CO, from routine fixture repairs to full sewer line replacement. We're built around the Front Range conditions this city actually deals with: expansive clay soil, high-altitude venting requirements, and hard freeze-thaw winters, rather than a generic national script.
Plumbing work in Colorado is licensed at the state level through the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), and that statewide standard governs the work we do here in Boulder the same as it would in any other Colorado city. Every repair we perform, from a simple faucet fix to a full sewer line replacement, follows the same International Plumbing Code standards Colorado has adopted statewide.
We built our approach around what we've actually seen come up in this city's housing stock. Pre-1910 Victorian homes on Mapleton Hill still run original galvanized supply lines. Mid-century ranch homes in Table Mesa are reaching the age where copper pipe starts to show pinhole leaks, and newer PVC and PEX construction in Gunbarrel and Southeast Boulder behaves differently again. A technician who treats every Boulder home the same way misses the details that actually matter to the repair.
What You Can Expect
Upfront pricing given before any repair work begins, not after.
Free on-site estimates for non-emergency work.
Licensed technicians who work on Boulder's specific mix of construction eras.
Answered 24 hours a day for genuine emergencies.
We don't publish flat prices for every job because the honest answer is that the right number depends on your specific pipe material, access, and the scope of the actual problem, not a generic rate card. What we do commit to is telling you that number, in writing, before any work starts, and explaining the factors behind it rather than leaving you to guess.
Call-Only, By Design
We work by phone rather than an online booking form, because a plumbing problem usually needs a real conversation before anyone can give you a useful answer. When you call, we ask what you're seeing, walk through what's likely happening, and get a technician scheduled or dispatched based on the actual urgency of the situation, not a generic time slot.
For genuine emergencies, that means we're answered 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. For routine repairs and installations, we schedule around your availability and give you a free on-site estimate before committing you to anything.
This matters more in a city like Boulder than it might elsewhere, since the right questions to ask depend heavily on your home's age and construction. A quick phone conversation about when your house was built and what you're noticing often tells us more than a generic online form ever could, and it means the technician who shows up already has a reasonable idea what to expect.
Serving All of Boulder

About Boulder Express Plumbing
Yes. Plumbing work in Colorado is licensed at the state level through the Department of Regulatory Agencies, and our technicians work under that statewide standard.
Yes, for non-emergency work. For active emergencies, we give you an upfront price before any repair begins rather than making you wait on a separate estimate visit while the situation gets worse.
Yes, and we treat them differently on purpose. An 1890s home on University Hill and a 1980s home in Gunbarrel have genuinely different plumbing profiles, and we adjust our approach accordingly rather than running the same script on both.
Call us at (303) 552-3896 and we'll set up a time that works for you, along with a free on-site estimate before any work begins.
Yes, every job comes with a detailed invoice, which is useful whether you're filing an insurance claim, tracking home maintenance, or need documentation for a rental property.
All of it. See our service area page for the specific neighborhoods we get the most calls from, along with the housing and plumbing patterns typical of each.
