Which city or district handles your address
Wikipedia notes that portions of the Henderson area have been annexed by Commerce City, Brighton and Thornton. In practice, two neighbors on the same road can have different water and sewer providers. The ZIP code, 80640, does not settle it.
Look at your latest bill for the utility name, and tell the dispatcher the street and the nearest cross street. That detail also decides which building department covers a permit if the job needs one.
Landmarks that help us find you
Henderson sits at about 5,033 feet. Many addresses are best described by a landmark. The Adams County Regional Park and Fairgrounds occupies the site of the old Henderson area, and a few historic buildings remain along Brighton Road north of 120th Avenue. The Henderson Community Church has stood for more than a century.
If your property has a long drive or a gate, say so on the call. Mention any dog on the property. A clear arrival note saves time when it is dark.

Drain and sewer trouble
A sink that drains slowly is a branch problem. A basement floor drain that bubbles when you flush is a main line problem. The two need different tools, and only the second usually needs a camera. If the camera shows roots or a collapsed section, read about sewer line repair. For grease and paper clogs that return, hydro jetting scours the pipe wall instead of only opening a channel.
Hot water that quit overnight
Check the breaker for an electric heater and the pilot for a gas one. A tank that leaks from underneath is finished, and our water heater replacement page explains sizing and venting. A leak at a fitting above the tank is a smaller repair.
Tell the dispatcher the fuel type, the age on the data plate and where the heater sits. Those three facts shape what the truck carries.
Before the plumber arrives
- Close the main valve if water is spreading.
- Cut power or gas to a leaking water heater.
- Hold off on sinks and showers while a drain is backing up.
- Photograph any damage for your insurer.
- Move valuables away from wet floors.
- Note your road, the nearest cross street and any gate code.
Cold snaps and exposed pipes
Detached garages, barns and pump rooms are where lines freeze first. A split pipe may not leak until the thaw, so run each faucet after a hard freeze. The water line repair page covers what happens when the service line itself fails.
