When a plumbing emergency strikes in Aurora, every minute counts — water spreads fast across finished basements and open-plan living areas, sewage damage compounds quickly in tightly-built neighborhoods, and a gas leak is an immediate safety risk that demands a licensed response right now. That's why Larimer Denver Plumbers was built around a single promise back in 1990: when Aurora has a plumbing emergency, a licensed professional answers the phone, day or night.
As the same-day emergency plumber Aurora homeowners and business owners call first, we know the city's pipe configurations, soil behavior, and aging infrastructure block by block — from the galvanized steel supply lines still running beneath post-war bungalows in the 80010 and 80011 ZIP codes to the copper-fed ranch homes of central Aurora's 80012 and 80014 corridors and the newer PEX systems in southeast Aurora's 80015 and 80016 developments — so our technicians often arrive already knowing what they're likely to find.
Our team of 50 skilled professionals runs 10 fully-equipped service vans staged throughout the Denver Metro, each stocked to resolve the most common Aurora emergencies on the first visit. From a burst galvanized line under a slab to a failed water heater corroded by hard Aurora Water mineral deposits, or a backed-up main sewer choked with roots from Havana Street's mature tree canopy, our trucks carry the parts, pumps, cameras, and diagnostic tools needed to stop the damage and complete the repair on site — without waiting for a supply run.
Larimer Denver Plumbers holds Master and Journeyman Plumber Licenses issued by the State of Colorado and carries comprehensive General Liability, Workers' Compensation, Commercial Auto, Inland Marine, and Contractors Errors & Omissions Insurance — so every emergency repair in Aurora is documented, code-compliant, and fully protected from the first shut-off valve to the final cleanup.

Most Aurora emergencies are repaired on the first visit, tested to confirm the fix, and cleaned up — with full documentation for your insurance records and Aurora building permit requirements.
Aurora's aging west-side housing stock, hard water from the Aurora Water municipal supply, aggressively expansive clay soils, Front Range freeze-thaw cycles, and dense urban and suburban development produce a predictable set of plumbing emergencies. As a 24-hour plumber Denver Metro residents have relied on since 1990, Larimer Denver Plumbers has handled thousands of these urgent calls across Aurora's ZIP codes and neighborhoods. Here are the emergencies we respond to most — and exactly how we stop the damage.
Many Aurora homes built before 1970 in neighborhoods like Hoffman Heights, Del Mar, and Kingsborough still run on original galvanized steel pipe that corrodes from the inside out over decades until a section suddenly fails — often behind a finished basement wall or beneath a concrete slab, releasing water fast across flooring and framing. Our emergency crew shuts off the supply at your Aurora Water main, locates the failure using electronic detection equipment, and completes a repair or replacement on the spot. For west Aurora homes with repeated pipe failures throughout the system, we recommend whole-home repiping in modern copper or PEX — materials engineered to withstand Colorado's hard water and freeze-thaw environment for decades.
Aurora sits on some of the most aggressively expansive bentonite clay soil in the Denver Metro. This soil absorbs moisture and swells significantly in spring, then shrinks and contracts during Colorado's dry summers and winters — repeatedly stressing copper water lines buried beneath concrete slab foundations until they fatigue and fail. A slab leak in an Aurora home can surface as warm or wet spots on the floor, a sudden unexplained spike on your Aurora Water bill, or the sound of running water with every tap shut off. Our specialists use electronic listening equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak's exact location beneath your slab, then repair it using the least invasive method possible — minimizing concrete cutting and protecting your flooring and foundation.
Aurora's mature residential neighborhoods — particularly along Colfax Avenue, Havana Street, and the established east Denver border communities — were planted with large shade trees throughout the mid-20th century. Today, those root systems reach deep into aging clay and cast iron sewer laterals, causing raw sewage to back up into tubs, floor drains, and toilets without warning. This is a health hazard and an active emergency. We inspect the affected line with a waterproof sewer camera, clear the root mass completely with professional hydro jetting equipment, and repair or reline the compromised pipe section using trenchless methods — protecting your Aurora driveway and landscaping from excavation.
Aurora Water delivers high-mineral-content water throughout the city. Calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate inside conventional water heater tanks and scale the heating elements of tankless units, accelerating corrosion and dramatically shortening service life. When an Aurora water heater ruptures, it can release dozens of gallons across a garage or utility closet floor within minutes. We respond immediately to shut off the unit, contain the spill, and repair or replace the water heater the same day — restoring hot water before your household or business is further disrupted. For Aurora homeowners looking to reduce future hard water damage, we also service and install whole-home water softeners.
Aurora's elevation and Front Range location expose the city to sudden, severe cold snaps that can drop temperatures well below freezing within hours — often faster than homeowners can protect their plumbing. Exterior hose bibs, pipes running through uninsulated garage walls, and water lines in unconditioned crawlspaces are particularly vulnerable. A frozen pipe that thaws unattended almost always bursts, releasing water inside walls or below floors. Our emergency crew responds quickly to thaw, locate, and repair freeze-damaged pipes throughout Aurora, and can advise on insulation solutions to protect your most vulnerable lines before the next cold event hits.
Aurora's spring season brings heavy snowmelt from the Front Range combined with intense rain events that rapidly saturate the clay-heavy soil and raise groundwater levels around foundations. When a sump pump fails under these conditions — due to a failed motor, tripped float switch, or power outage — basement flooding can begin within hours. We provide immediate sump pump diagnosis and repair or replacement for Aurora homes and businesses, restoring the system before rising groundwater causes structural water damage.
Pre-1980 Aurora homes with original black iron gas piping can develop leaks at corroded threaded joints and deteriorating fittings — a serious life-safety emergency that demands an immediate, licensed response. If you smell gas anywhere in your Aurora home, leave the property immediately, avoid operating any switches or electronics, and call us from outside or from a neighbor's home. Our licensed technicians locate the leak using calibrated gas detection equipment, repair or replace the affected pipe with approved materials, and pressure-test the entire system before signing off for permit and insurance compliance.
Not every plumbing issue can wait for a scheduled appointment. If any of the following is happening in your Aurora home or business, call right away — fast action limits damage and cost.

No. Larimer Denver Plumbers provides 24/7 emergency plumbing service at no extra charge in Aurora. A burst pipe at 2:00 a.m. on a holiday weekend is handled at our standard service rate — no after-hours surcharge added. Aurora families and businesses should never have to weigh a middle-of-the-night upcharge against the damage an active plumbing emergency is causing while they wait. We removed that barrier entirely.
For most Aurora plumbing emergencies, your first step is to shut off the water supply. For a single fixture such as a toilet or sink, turn the small shut-off valve beneath it clockwise until it stops. For a burst pipe or major leak, locate your main water shut-off — typically near the street at your Aurora Water meter box, in your garage, or where the water line enters the home — and close it fully. If you smell gas, leave the property immediately without operating any switches or electronics, and call us from outside. Once you've taken those steps, call Larimer Denver Plumbers at (720) 343-5151 and our dispatcher will walk you through any additional protective measures until our technician arrives.
Larimer Denver Plumbers handles every category of plumbing emergency in Aurora, including burst and leaking pipes, sewage and drain backups, water heater failures and tank ruptures, slab leaks beneath concrete foundations, gas line leaks, frozen and burst pipes from Front Range cold snaps, overflowing toilets, sump pump failures during snowmelt events, and major fixture leaks. We also provide emergency boiler repair for Aurora homes and buildings that rely on hot water heating systems, emergency water damage mitigation, and 24/7 commercial plumbing for Aurora restaurants, medical facilities near the Anschutz Medical Campus, offices, and multi-unit residential buildings.

We carry the commercial-grade equipment needed to diagnose and repair most Aurora commercial emergencies on the first visit.
Yes — significantly. Aurora Water delivers high-mineral-content water throughout the city, and over time the calcium and magnesium in that supply deposits scale inside water heater tanks, coats the heating elements of tankless units, narrows pipe interiors, and corrodes fixtures and valves. The practical result is that Aurora water heaters fail earlier than in low-mineral-content areas, drain flow decreases as scale builds on pipe walls, and fixtures wear out faster. If you're experiencing reduced hot water, low pressure, or a water heater that seems to fail prematurely, hard water scale is often the underlying cause. We can diagnose and address hard water damage during any emergency call and advise on water softening solutions to protect your system long-term.
