Why does my faucet still drip after I turn it off?

A dripping faucet after shutoff almost always means a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring inside the fixture, not a problem with your water supply. Replacing the worn part usually solves it.

Why does my toilet keep running?

A running toilet is most often caused by a worn flapper that is not sealing the tank properly, or a fill valve that is not shutting off at the right water level. Both are straightforward repairs.

Should I repair or replace an old toilet?

If the tank and bowl are undamaged, repairing the internal flush mechanism is usually enough. A cracked tank or bowl, or a toilet using well above current water-saving standards, is a better case for replacement.

Can a slow-draining sink be fixed without replacing it?

In most cases, yes. A slow sink drain usually comes from a clog in the trap or line rather than a problem with the sink itself, and clearing that resolves it without replacement.

Do you install low-flow toilets and faucets?

Yes, we install current water-efficient toilets, faucets, and showerheads as part of both repair and replacement work.

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.

Should a leaking faucet or running toilet be repaired or replaced?

A faucet with a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring can almost always be repaired without full replacement, especially on newer fixtures where parts are still available. A toilet with a worn flapper or fill valve is a simple repair, but a cracked tank or bowl means replacement. Sinks are usually a repair situation unless the basin itself is damaged or the style no longer fits the space. We check the actual failure point before recommending which one you need.

Worn cartridges, washers, and O-rings account for most faucet leaks
A running toilet is usually a flapper or fill valve issue, not the tank itself
Cracked porcelain in a toilet or sink means replacement, not repair
