Winters are long and cold at about 7,500 feet, which makes plumbing a seasonal emergency business here. Of the 26 plumbers listed, only 8 keep a shop in the valley. The other 18 are based on the Front Range, and a call from a Loveland or Fort Collins crew means a drive up US 34 through the Big Thompson Canyon or around through Lyons on US 36.
I have lived in twenty small towns, and the rule is the same in all of them: call the plumber who lives where your pipe is. Up here it matters more, because a crew from Loveland is a canyon drive away when the line freezes at dusk.
Most listed plumbers are based on the Front Range, so ask about arrival time before booking an emergency call.
Based in Estes Park
Hydronic boilers and radiant floor heat show up in a lot of mountain houses, and they are the reason to keep this number. Mountain Valley Plumbing and Heating is a veteran-owned outfit on Dunraven Street, next door to M H Plumbing & Heating, covering Estes Park, Allenspark and Meeker Park.
Along Big Thompson Avenue, next to La Cabaña Mexican Grill and Longhorn Liquor Mart, EP Plumbing, Heating & Air is a family-owned, licensed and insured shop for homes and businesses. The daily work is faucets, toilets, showers, leak detection, pipe and water line repair, water heaters and clogged drains, with boilers, furnaces, gas lines, sump pumps, sewer lines and new construction plumbing on the bigger end.
Plumbing, heating and cooling, and refrigeration all come out of one shop on Graves Avenue near the fairgrounds, next to 7522 Electric and Glacier Creek Construction.

Brad Jensen has been plumbing in Estes Park and the towns around it for nearly 30 years, and Knockout Plumbing & Heating is his outfit. The work covers the usual list and then some: water heater installs and repairs, leak detection, pipe repair, showers, toilets, faucets and garbage disposals.
Faucets and toilets are the two jobs Schwab Plumbing names outright, alongside general service and repair work. The day starts early.
Out in Allenspark, about thirteen miles south of town down Highway 7, Ironclad Mt. Plumbing works on the systems that matter most up here: boilers and hydronic heat, propane gas lines and gas appliances, tankless water heaters, and winterization for places that sit empty through the cold months.
Hot water heat is the specialty here, from boiler service to designing in-floor radiant systems. Every plumber on staff is a Certified Colorado Master Plumber, and the techs are factory trained on furnaces, air conditioning and tankless water heaters as well.
Serves Estes Park from the Front Range
If the furnace quits at two in the morning in January, someone at Lion Home Service will pick up the phone.

In January, when a cold snap catches a cabin nobody has checked in a week, frozen and burst pipe repair is the line on Swan's list that matters.

Veteran-owned and based in Longmont, this plumbing and heating company lists Estes Park among the towns it drives up to. Furnace repair is the call it gets most, and the techs are polite and send updates by text.
A furnace that quits overnight in January is the call Balance Point is built for, and the phones are answered around the clock.

Water heater and sewer line replacement are the jobs this Northern Colorado outfit is called for most, with drain snaking and main line cleaning filling in the rest. It's licensed and insured, works on homes and commercial buildings, and answers 24 hours a day, with flat-rate pricing and no overtime billing, so a night call costs the same as a Tuesday morning.
When an old boiler finally gives out, this Wellington outfit is worth the call, and it makes the drive up from north of Fort Collins to cover Estes. Boiler replacement and radiant heat are the specialty, with furnaces, heat pumps, mini-splits and AC on the heating side.
Hot water heater replacement is the job this Loveland crew is best known for, and the phone is answered around the clock, weekends included. Estes Park is on its regular route along with Greeley, Longmont and Fort Collins.
Water heaters are the bread-and-butter job, tank or tankless, Navien included. Ace Hi Plumbing, Heating & Air works out of Loveland and lists Estes Park among its service towns, handling furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, ductless systems and air conditioning alongside the plumbing: drains, sewer lines with camera inspection, main line replacement, sump pumps and leaks in the crawl space.
Tankless water heaters are the reason to call Chambers. The Loveland shop bills itself as the Rinnai Guys, keeps a Rinnai showroom in downtown Loveland, and works on other brands too, Navien and Rheem among them.
Crawl space problems and hard-to-find leaks are the jobs that come up most for Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, a Loveland-based outfit that drives up to Estes along with the rest of Northern Colorado.

A cabin left empty for the winter needs someone to drain it properly, and Streamline Plumbing will winterize homes and businesses while the owners are away. It's a Front Range outfit with licensed, insured plumbers and more than 21 years in business, and Estes Park falls within its service area.
When a main line backs up and roots are the suspect, this is a drain and sewer outfit rather than a general plumber. Hydro-jetting, sewer cleaning, camera scoping and trenchless line repair and replacement are the core, and a scope comes with a report and video that can be passed along to a buyer or an insurer.
A furnace that quits in the middle of a January night is the reason to know this name. Origin is a Loveland-based plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical company, a subsidiary of Fort Collins Heating & Air Conditioning, with four generations behind it and licensed techs on call around the clock.

Start with the 8 in the valley when you can. A local crew knows how mountain houses are built and how long a frozen line takes to thaw. EP Plumbing, Heating & Air and Mountain Valley Plumbing and Heating, which has an Estes Park office, both list frozen pipe or emergency work, and Mountain Valley adds cabin winterization and service to Allenspark and Meeker Park.
The Front Range firms are still worth knowing. Thirteen of the 26 are flagged for 24-hour emergency service, and several list Estes Park in their service area, among them Rock Solid, Swan and Benjamin Franklin. Ask about arrival time before you book, and whether a travel charge applies.
Many homes outside town limits are on wells and septic, and not every plumber works on those. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Northern Colorado lists septic tank pumping and repair, drain field work and well pumps, and Lion Home Service lists septic. Ask the question before you book, because a plumber who does not handle wells will waste your morning. Entries with thin listings are worth a phone call rather than a guess.
Some do. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Northern Colorado lists septic tank pumping and repair, drain field work and well pumps, and Lion Home Service lists septic work. Many homes outside town are on wells and septic, so ask before you book.
