"Al and James completed my annual maintenance yesterday and they were very professional. They fixed some plumbing issues on my sump pump and fortified the sump pump outlet piping to prevent possible further issues. They also took special care to replace and improved upon the original floor linear over the sump pump and left the crawl space spotless."

"I had not had a working toilet for 7 months. I could not find a plumber in my area, Pagosa Springs, who would even talk to me about the job. No one returned my calls and one even hung up on me. VIP Plumbing told me what I needed to do and came on time and had the job done in under an hour. I now have my new toilet which is helping me no end. I am 76 years old, have movement issues and have my bathroom back instead of trying to navigate to the other end of the house at night. Thank you, VIP Plumbing."

"My old water heater went out yesterday and of course leaked water all over. I shut it off and stopped the leaking. Called early this morning looking for someone to install a new one. Jim was actually sent over by another plumber who could not get to my job right away. Jim showed up, looked at the job, we talked about the options and he gave me a bid. Let to get the new water heater. We back in about thirty minutes. He had to make some changes to the water and gas lines. Added shut offs and installed new one. Took the time to explain operation and maintenance of the new one. Cleaned up the work site. Removed all debris and old water heater. I was impressed with his work and his attitude.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Plan your plumbing projects four to six weeks in advance, as local contractors experience high demand before winter. Ensure any new gas-fired water heaters are properly adjusted for the high altitude. Be aware that expansive clay soils in CO shift frequently, which causes underground pipe separation. Understand state water laws before adding outdoor irrigation, as specific usage rights govern these connections.

Helpful?

Address drips and slow leaks immediately before November, as freezing temperatures in Cortez quickly turn minor issues into burst pipes. Sudden water pressure drops also demand urgent attention. Schedule non-leak plumbing upgrades during spring or early fall to avoid the harsh winter and the summer monsoon season. Address any drainage concerns before July to prevent monsoon flooding.

Helpful?

High mineral content in CO water requires regular plumbing maintenance, including descaling water heaters and cleaning aerators to prevent severe buildup. Inspect your exterior hose bibs and replace pipe insulation every year before November to prevent winter freezing. Clear your roof drains before the summer monsoons arrive. For rural properties, schedule annual water quality testing and septic pumping assessments.

Helpful?

You must decide whether to pull permits yourself or hire a licensed contractor for major plumbing work. In Cortez, you also need to choose water treatment systems to combat heavy mineral scaling. Select appropriate pipe materials with your contractor to withstand the local hard water. For vacation properties, determine your winterization strategy, choosing between maintaining heat or completing a full system drain-down.

Helpful?

Hard water accelerates plumbing wear at every stage of a home's life in Cortez. Within the first fifteen years, expect rapid mineral scaling and sediment buildup in water heaters. Between fifteen and thirty years, plan to replace degraded supply lines and failing water heaters. In homes older than thirty years, replace corroded galvanized steel pipes and cast iron drains damaged by shifting clay soils.
