Water heater repair in Aurora, CO
Water heaters are the most common reason Aurora homeowners search for a plumber. The symptoms are usually one of four: no hot water, lukewarm water, a puddle at the base or a rumbling tank.

Housing from several eras
Wikipedia records that the community began as Fletcher in 1890 and 1891, was incorporated in 1903 and became the City of Aurora in 1928. Fitzsimons Army Hospital opened in 1918, and Lowry Air Force Base opened in 1938. Growth then surged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the population rose 17.6 percent from 2000 to 2010 and 18.8 percent from 2010 to 2020.
A house from the surge years is now more than forty years old. A house near Fitzsimons may be far older. A subdivision from the last decade is a different case again. Share the approximate age when you call, then see repiping if the pipe material is in question.
Three counties, one city
Aurora straddles Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties. In 2020, about 47,720 residents lived in the Adams County part, which is the side closest to Brighton. Permits and inspections can differ with the address. Your bill names your water and sewer provider. Share it with the dispatcher, along with the street and the nearest cross street. That detail also helps place your address on a very large map.

Landmarks that help place an address
Aurora straddles I-70 and I-225, and the E-470 beltway runs along its eastern side. All of the city lies east of I-25. Landmarks callers use include Aurora Reservoir, the Anschutz Medical Campus, Buckley Space Force Base, Southlands Town Center and Stanley Marketplace.
Tell the dispatcher which of these is nearest. In a city this large, arrival depends on where you are, so ask for the earliest window.
What to tell the dispatcher
- Your street, the nearest cross street and your county.
- Whether water is still running and the main is shut.
- The fuel type and age of the water heater.
- Any gate code, dog or locked meter pit.
- Whether the home is a house, a townhome or an apartment unit.
- A callback number you will answer.
Older homes, newer subdivisions
An older Aurora house may have steel supply lines or a clay sewer lateral. A newer one more likely has plastic or copper and PVC. The failures differ: corrosion and roots in one case, fittings and valves in the other.
Drains and sewer trouble
A floor drain that bubbles or a toilet that gurgles when the washer runs is a main line signal. A camera shows whether the cause is grease, roots or a break. See sewer line repair when the camera finds damage.
