Spartan Plumbing is encouraging Arvada homeowners to follow Denver Water’s frozen pipe tips, including locating the shut-off valve before temperatures plunge.
Arvada, CO (PRUnderground) November 10th, 2026
With Colorado’s first deep freezes of the season on the way, Spartan Plumbing is encouraging Arvada homeowners to take a few simple steps now to keep water pipes from freezing and to know what to do if one does.
Spartan Plumbing, which provides drain cleaning arvada and plumbing service across the northwest Denver metro, said cold snaps bring a predictable wave of calls from homeowners dealing with frozen or burst lines.
According to Denver Water, the same cold-weather forces that break water mains can burst pipes inside a home. The utility notes that pipes along exterior walls, in unheated basements and in attached garages are the most vulnerable.
Denver Water advises homeowners to learn where their home’s water shut-off valve is located, usually in the basement or crawl space on a wall facing the street, and to make sure everyone in the household knows how to use it.
To prevent freezing, the utility recommends insulating pipes along exterior walls and in unheated basements, opening cabinet doors to exposed pipes during a deep freeze, keeping attached garage doors shut, dripping the faucet farthest from where water enters the house, and keeping the thermostat above 65 degrees when leaving for several days.
If a pipe does freeze, Denver Water says to act quickly, shut off the water or test the shut-off valve before thawing, and thaw the pipe slowly with a hair dryer. The utility warns against using an open flame such as a blow torch.
“The shut-off valve is the one thing every homeowner should be able to find in the dark,” said Sammy Carr of Spartan Plumbing. “When a pipe splits, every minute the water runs is more drywall, more flooring and a bigger repair bill.”
Cold weather affects drains as well as supply lines. Slow drains that already struggle in the fall can back up when usage climbs during the holidays, and arvada drain cleaning before guests arrive can head off a problem, the company said.
For stubborn buildups in older lines, clogged drain arvada co service using hydro jetting can clear grease and debris that a standard cable may leave behind.
Kitchen and bathroom sinks that drain slowly are often the first warning sign. The company said clogged drain cleaning arvada is usually simpler when handled early rather than after a full backup.
When a backup or burst pipe happens after hours, emergency drain cleaning arvada and repair service can help limit water damage, but the company stressed that shutting off the water first is the homeowner’s most important step.
“Most frozen pipe calls are preventable,” Carr said. “Open the cabinets, drip the faucet on the coldest nights and know where your valve is. That covers most of it.”
