About B&D Plumbing
About B&D Plumbing, a Licensed Plumber in Boulder
B&D Plumbing is a Boulder plumbing company that does its own work. A licensed plumber with more than five years of plumbing experience diagnoses and repairs the problem in your home. We are based at 2525 Frontier Ave in east Boulder and answer emergency calls 24 hours a day.
Who We Are and Who We Work For
B&D Plumbing provides residential plumbing service to homeowners in Boulder, Colorado. The work covers the systems every house depends on: water supply lines, drains, the sewer service line to the street, water heaters and fixtures. The person you talk to on the phone works for the business that sends the plumber, and the plumber who arrives does the work. We do not pass jobs to other contractors.
Our customers range from owners of historic houses in Mapleton Hill's older homes to families in 1970s and 1980s Gunbarrel homes. A 120-year-old house and a 40-year-old house fail in different ways, and we diagnose each house on its own terms.

How B&D Plumbing Handles a Job
Four rules guide every service call:
- Find the cause, not just the symptom. A clog that keeps coming back has a reason. So does a water heater that keeps tripping. We look for it.
- Explain before working. You hear what we found, what the repair involves and what it costs before work starts. If the fix can wait, we say so.
- Do it to code. Repairs and installations follow the plumbing code that applies in Boulder. Jobs that need a City of Boulder permit and inspection are planned that way from the start.
- Leave it tested and clean. Repairs are tested under normal use, and the work area is cleaned before we leave. You are told what to watch afterward.
Plumbing Knowledge Specific to Boulder
Working in one city means knowing its conditions. Boulder's city water is soft, around 2.4 grains per gallon according to the City of Boulder, so we rarely recommend softeners for homes on city water. The Front Range's expansive clay soil is hard on old sewer pipe. Boulder's elevation, above 5,000 feet, affects how gas water heaters must be set up. Hard freezes catch exposed pipes every winter. And in Boulder, the homeowner owns the sewer service line all the way to the city main. That local knowledge goes into every recommendation we make as a plumber in Boulder.
