# Denver Metro Plumbing, Neighborhood By Neighborhood

Afford-A-Rooter Plumbing publishes a page for each neighborhood we work in most often, because the plumbing problem in a Denver bungalow is not the plumbing problem in a Broomfield ranch. Each page covers the construction era, the pipe material that era left behind, the failure that material produces, and the services those homes need.

## Denver

Central and west Denver blocks where most of the housing stock predates the war. Galvanized supply, cast iron waste, and repipe work in occupied homes.

- [Baker](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/baker-denver): Victorian era cottages and terrace rows still running on galvanized supply and cast iron waste.
- [Barnum](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/barnum-denver): Modest west Denver houses where a lot of the plumbing runs through an unheated crawlspace.
- [Capitol Hill](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/capitol-hill-denver): Converted mansions and walk up apartment blocks where one riser and one stack serve four floors.
- [Congress Park](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/congress-park-denver): Bungalows and squares built for one bathroom, most of them now carrying two or three.
- [Curtis Park](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/curtis-park-denver): Denver's oldest surviving row houses, many split into duplexes, with risers and stacks buried in party walls.
- [Harvey Park](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/harvey-park-denver): Mid century ranches, a good number of them on slab, where a supply leak hides under the floor.
- [Park Hill](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/park-hill-denver): Tudors and brick homes on wide lots, built across the era when galvanized gave way to copper.
- [Platt Park](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/platt-park-denver): Small bungalows on narrow lots, many carrying an added second storey on original supply piping.
- [Sloan's Lake](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/sloans-lake-denver): Surviving bungalows beside three storey townhomes, each needing a completely different kind of plumber.
- [Sunnyside](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/sunnyside-denver): Original bungalows and brand new infill duplexes side by side, needing two completely different kinds of work.
- [West Highland](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/west-highland-denver): Brick bungalows and Denver squares with heavy remodel history and mixed pipe materials in one house.
- [Whittier](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/whittier-denver): Century old brick homes carrying decades of partial repairs, where diagnosis is mostly archaeology.

## Westminster

Our home city. The shop sits on North Dover Street, which makes these the shortest drives we make.

- [Countryside](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/countryside-westminster): Late century tract homes where the original copper, fixtures and water heaters are all reaching the same age.
- [Historic Westminster](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/historic-westminster): The old Westminster core, minutes from our shop, mixing pre war cottages with early postwar bungalows.
- [Legacy Ridge](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/legacy-ridge-westminster): Larger, newer Westminster homes where the plumbing is sound and the appliances are the weak point.

## Arvada

An old rail town core surrounded by postwar and late century subdivisions, so the pipe material changes street by street.

- [Lake Arbor](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/lake-arbor-arvada): Split levels and ranches where a good part of the living space sits below the level of the drain.
- [Olde Town Arvada](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/olde-town-arvada): An old rail town core where a restaurant kitchen, an apartment and a century old house share one block.

## Broomfield

Postwar starter subdivisions and late century master planned neighborhoods sharing one city.

- [Broomfield Heights](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/broomfield-heights): The original brick ranches that grew into the city, most of them built with exactly one bathroom.

## Thornton

Mid century tract housing north of the city line, much of it still on its original branch piping.

- [Original Thornton](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/original-thornton): Postwar tract ranches where somebody already replaced the pipe they could see and stopped there.

## Northglenn

A planned postwar community built from repeating floor plans, which makes diagnosis unusually predictable.

- [Original Northglenn](https://www.affordarooterplumbing.com/neighborhoods/original-northglenn): A planned community of repeating floor plans, which means we usually know the layout before we arrive.
