Incorporated in 1969 and built out almost entirely within its first decade, Northglenn is a city where moderately hard Standley Lake water at 7.18 grains per gallon has been accumulating scale in the same water heaters and supply fixtures for more than 50 years, and Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric brings licensed technicians with the maintenance and replacement services built for exactly that combination of age and mineral load. Precision’s water heater maintenance, repiping, and softener services address exactly what that produces. Reach out to Precision today to schedule a licensed plumber for your Northglenn home.
Our Services
Northglenn draws its water from the Clear Creek Watershed, traveling via the Berthoud Pass Ditch and Church Ditch, which Northglenn owns, to Standley Lake before treatment and distribution; the city’s own consumer confidence reports have recorded average distribution system hardness of 123 mg/L, or approximately 7.18 grains per gallon, a moderately hard level that contributes to scale accumulation in water heaters and supply fixtures across homes that are now more than 50 years old. Combined with the galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and original copper installations common in the city’s 1970s construction era, that mineral load makes Northglenn one of the more demanding plumbing service environments in Adams County.
Here are the plumbing and drain services available to homeowners in the area:

Where We Serve
Northglenn’s residential fabric is largely continuous, with ranch homes, tri-levels, and bi-levels from the 1960s through the 1980s covering most of the city’s 7.4 square miles; Fox Run and Hillcrest are among the city’s most established and populated areas, while Webster Lake Terrace and Huron Crossing represent the later residential expansion along the city’s eastern and northern edges. 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 1974 ranch where the original galvanized supply lines have never been inspected, a water heater that has been accumulating scale from 7-grain-per-gallon water for 20 years, or a cast iron drain stack showing the first signs of joint deterioration: each is a condition that reflects the reality of Northglenn’s housing stock rather than an outlier. Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric has served the Denver metro region for over four decades with the preparation that homes like these genuinely require.

FAQ
Still have a question? Call our team for help.
Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric covers the full city across both the Adams County and Weld County portions of Northglenn, from the established 1970s neighborhoods of Fox Run, Hillcrest, and Park Vista through to newer developments along the city’s eastern and northern edges. The same licensed, insured team services every part of Northglenn without restriction.
The City of Northglenn contracts its building division services to SAFEbuilt; permits are required for all plumbing system work, and licensed professionals must perform the work when the property is a rental or intended for sale or resale; the city is scheduled to adopt the 2024 ICC codes by summer 2026. Precision’s licensed plumbers manage permit applications and inspections on every qualifying job so homeowners are not responsible for navigating that process independently.
Northglenn’s water originates as snowmelt in the Clear Creek Watershed, travels via the Berthoud Pass Ditch and Church Ditch, which the city owns, to Standley Lake for storage before treatment. The city’s own consumer confidence reports have recorded average distribution system hardness of approximately 7.18 grains per gallon, consistent with the moderately hard classification, and Northglenn partners with Thornton and Westminster through shared use of Standley Lake to serve over 300,000 residents across the three cities.
Homes built in Northglenn during the 1960s and 1970s are now approaching or past their sixth decade of service, a stage when galvanized steel supply lines have typically corroded to the point of flow restriction, cast iron drain stacks develop joint failures and root intrusion, and original tank water heaters that have been absorbing moderately hard water throughout their service lives are well past their expected replacement window. A professional plumbing inspection is the practical first step for any Northglenn homeowner who has not recently assessed these primary systems.
With nearly 4,900 residents per square mile, Northglenn’s homes sit on relatively compact lots where sewer laterals running to city mains can be short but experience heavy use; mature street trees that were planted as part of the city’s 1970s development are now large enough to send roots into aging clay and cast iron sewer lines throughout older sections of the city. Precision’s camera inspection, rooter, and trenchless sewer repair services are the appropriate response when those conditions surface.
Standard non-emergency appointments are typically available within one to two business days. For urgent situations, including active leaks, failed water heaters, and burst pipes during cold weather, Precision’s around-the-clock support availability means homeowners are not left without recourse outside of standard business hours.
