Our Services
With a median construction year of 1977 and an established mid-century core where homes in Applewood, Harvey Park, and Green Mountain Village are approaching or past 50 years of service, Lakewood presents a consistent and genuine demand for supply line inspections, water heater replacements, and drain system assessments. The city’s primary water provider, Consolidated Mutual Water Company, has served northwest Lakewood and surrounding Jefferson County since 1926, drawing from Clear Creek and Denver Water’s Continental Divide watersheds through its Maple Grove Water Treatment Facility.
Here are the plumbing and drain services available to homeowners in the area:

Where We Serve
Lakewood’s residential geography stretches from the brick ranches and split-levels of its mid-century eastern and central neighborhoods, where homes from the 1950s and 1960s carry plumbing infrastructure that is now five to seven decades old, through the foothills-adjacent developments of Green Mountain and Solterra where newer construction and mountain terrain create their own service demands. Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric serves the whole city, including the following neighborhoods:
Here are the areas across the community where Precision provides residential plumbing services:
A galvanized supply line in a Harvey Park ranch that has been in service since the Eisenhower administration, a water heater approaching the end of its useful life in an Applewood Knolls home, or a sewer lateral in a Friendly Hills property encroached by decades of root growth: each requires a contractor who arrives already familiar with what it is likely to find. Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric has maintained that level of preparation across Jefferson County for over four decades.
Contact Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric to schedule a licensed plumber and get the plumbing issue at your Lakewood home assessed, permitted where required, and resolved with the standard of care this company has delivered since 1982.
FAQ
Still have a question? Call our team for help.
Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric covers the full city, from established mid-century neighborhoods like Harvey Park, Lasley, and Applewood through to newer foothills communities including Solterra and Friendly Hills. The same licensed, insured team services every part of Lakewood regardless of neighborhood age or construction era.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors working in Lakewood must hold active city registration before performing any permitted work; permit applications are submitted through the city’s eTRAKiT online portal and fees are assessed based on project valuation. Precision’s licensed plumbers maintain that registration and manage the permit process correctly on every qualifying job, so homeowners are not responsible for navigating those requirements independently.
Most of Lakewood is served by Consolidated Mutual Water Company, a private non-profit cooperative established in 1926 that draws from two sources: surface water from Clear Creek and Lena Gulch treated at the Maple Grove Water Treatment Facility, and water purchased from Denver Water’s Continental Divide watershed system. Seasonal variation in source water composition is a routine condition in dual-source systems, and the age of distribution infrastructure in some areas means that plumbing inspections for older homes in the service area remain a worthwhile investment.
Homes in Harvey Park, Lasley, Applewood Knolls, and Green Mountain Village were built primarily between the 1950s and early 1980s, a period that produced galvanized steel supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and early copper installations with lead-soldered joints, all of which are now at or well past their expected service lives. Reduced water pressure, slow drains, and discolored hot water from an aging tank are common indicators that a professional inspection of these systems is overdue.
Lakewood’s western neighborhoods, particularly those near Green Mountain, Bear Creek, and the higher-elevation areas around Solterra, experience more pronounced temperature swings than Denver’s urban core, increasing the risk of pipe freezes in uninsulated crawl spaces and exterior wall plumbing during winter cold snaps. Terrain-related drainage considerations also make sump pump reliability a practical concern for lower-lying properties, and Precision’s emergency service is available when those situations develop.
Non-emergency appointments are typically available within one to two business days, with tighter scheduling windows during the peak demand periods of mid-winter and early spring. Precision’s around-the-clock support availability means urgent plumbing situations, including active leaks and water heater failures, can be addressed without waiting for standard business hours.
