CPVC Failures in '90s-Era Highlands Ranch Homes

CPVC (cream or light yellow rigid plastic) was widely used for hot water supply in Highlands Ranch homes built between 1990 and 2000. After 25-30 years, CPVC becomes brittle, especially near water heaters where temperatures are highest. Fittings crack, joints weep, and the pipe shatters if bumped. We see it most often in second-floor ceiling leaks that trace back to a CPVC fitting above. The fix is a PEX-A re-pipe — flexible, freeze-resistant, and rated for the life of the home.

Bathroom and Kitchen Remodel Plumbing

Highlands Ranch homeowners doing kitchen or bath remodels need plumbing that's done on schedule. We rough in supply, waste, and vent lines before your contractor frames, pass the Douglas County inspection, then return for trim-out (faucets, fixtures, connections) once tile and countertops are in. We coordinate directly with your GC to eliminate scheduling gaps.

Water Heater Replacement Done Right

Most Highlands Ranch homes have a 50-gallon atmospheric vent tank in the basement or mechanical closet. When it's time to replace, we evaluate the current setup: Is the flue properly connected? Is the gas line sized correctly? Does the T&P discharge terminate where code requires? We don't just swap the tank — we bring the entire installation up to current code. Douglas County inspectors are thorough. We pass on the first visit.
