Our Services
Lafayette’s housing spans from late-1800s mining-era cottages in Old Town to mid-century neighborhoods and newer master-planned communities, giving the city one of the wider construction-era ranges in Boulder County. The city’s water supply originates from Rocky Mountain snowmelt via the Boulder Creek and Upper Colorado watersheds, treated at Lafayette’s own Baseline Water Treatment Plant, a 1994 facility the city’s own reports note is under increasing operational stress as peak summer demand regularly approaches its maximum capacity of 12 million gallons per day.
Here are the plumbing and drain services available to homeowners in the area:

The City of Lafayette requires all plumbing contractors to hold both a State Master Plumber License and a State Contractor License and to submit copies to the city’s Building Division before any permit is issued; the city also adopted the 2021 International Plumbing Code effective August 1, 2023. Precision carries both required licenses and manages permit applications through Lafayette’s MyGov online portal on every qualifying job.
Lafayette’s water supply is sourced from Rocky Mountain snowmelt via the Boulder Creek and Upper Colorado watersheds and treated at the city’s Baseline Water Treatment Plant, which was constructed in 1994 and can produce up to 12 million gallons per day. The city’s own published materials note that peak summer demand regularly approaches that capacity, placing operational stress on a facility now more than thirty years old, which makes the performance of home plumbing and fixtures progressively more important to maintain.
Old Town Lafayette was developed during and after the coal-mining era that defined the city’s late-1800s and early 1900s origins, and homes from that period may carry original galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, or early copper installations that are well past their expected service lives. A professional plumbing inspection is a worthwhile first step for any Old Town homeowner who has not recently had their primary supply and drain systems professionally assessed.
Lafayette’s position at approximately 5,236 feet exposes homes to sharp winter cold snaps that can freeze supply lines in uninsulated crawl spaces and exterior walls, while spring snowmelt from the Boulder Creek watershed creates seasonal sump pump and drainage demand. Precision’s emergency plumbing service is available around the clock when either condition escalates into an urgent situation.
Non-emergency appointments are generally available within one to two business days, with tighter windows during peak winter and spring demand periods. Precision maintains around-the-clock support availability for urgent situations, so homeowners are not left without recourse outside of standard business hours when a leak, water heater failure, or other active plumbing issue requires immediate attention.
