Do you really answer the phone at night?

Yes, our line is answered 24 hours a day, every day, by someone who dispatches a plumber, not an automated system that takes a message until morning.

What should I do before the plumber arrives?

Shut off water at the fixture if that isolates the problem, or at the main shutoff if it does not. If you smell gas, leave the area and shut off gas at the meter if you can safely reach it, then call from a safe distance.

Is a burst pipe always an emergency?

Yes, a fully burst pipe is actively losing water under pressure and needs immediate isolation and repair.

What if I am not sure it is a real emergency?

Call anyway and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you honestly whether it needs immediate dispatch or can be scheduled as a standard visit, so you are not guessing on your own.

Does emergency service cost more than a regular call?

After-hours dispatch carries a different rate than daytime scheduled work, which reflects round-the-clock availability. We tell you the rate when you call, before dispatching, so there is no surprise.

How much does a plumber cost in the Denver metro?

Cost depends on the job, not a flat menu. Afford-A-Rooter scopes the work first, then gives you a free quote before anything starts, so you approve the number in advance. Drain and rooter calls sit at the lower end. Sewer line and water line repairs sit higher because they involve locating, access, and restoration.

How fast can you get here, and how long will the work take?

Most standard repairs are booked for the next available window and finished in one visit. Drain cleaning and fixture work usually take a few hours. Sewer and water line work can take a day or more because of excavation and inspection. You get a realistic time window up front, not a guess.

Do you handle emergency plumbing at night and on weekends?

Yes. Afford-A-Rooter runs 24/7 emergency plumbing across the Denver metro. Call for active leaks, sewage backups, no hot water, and burst pipes. Shut off the water at the main valve first, then call so we can stage the right truck.

Is your plumbing work guaranteed, and are you licensed?

Afford-A-Rooter is a Colorado Master Plumber and licensed Colorado State Plumbing Contractor, family owned and serving Denver since 2006. Work is performed to code, permitted where required, and backed by a workmanship guarantee. Manufacturer warranties apply to installed equipment such as water heaters.

What counts as a plumbing emergency

Not every plumbing problem needs a call at 2 a.m., but some genuinely cannot wait. Active water loss that is damaging the house, sewage backing up into a living space, and a complete loss of water in freezing weather are all situations where the delay itself causes more harm than the repair costs. We triage every call the same way: is water actively causing damage right now.

Burst or actively leaking pipes
Sewage backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
No water at all, especially during freezing weather
A water heater leaking heavily or showing signs of failure near a gas line

Call the emergency line when

Water is actively running, spraying, or pooling and you cannot stop it
Sewage is coming up through a drain inside the house
You have no water anywhere in the house
You smell gas near a water heater or gas line

What affects emergency plumbing pricing
