Here2Help Plumbing, close to home in Aurora
Our office is on Dallas Street in Original Aurora, a few blocks off Colfax, and our plumbers spend their days in basements, crawlspaces and utility closets across the city. Here2Help Plumbing handles the work most homes need sooner or later: clogged drains, sewer line trouble, water heaters, leaks, frozen pipes, fixtures and gas lines.
We keep the conversation simple. You describe the problem, we tell you what it usually means and what it usually costs, and the plumber at your door confirms the cause before anything gets taken apart.
Emergency steps
Something just broke? Do these things first
Pick what is happening. These are the same steps we walk callers through on the phone at 2 a.m.
A burst or split pipe: your first five minutes
- Shut off the main water valve. In most Aurora homes it sits where the water line enters the basement or crawlspace, often near the water heater.
- Turn off the water heater: switch the breaker off for electric, or set a gas control to pilot.
- Open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain pressure out of the lines.
- If water is near outlets or the electrical panel, stay out of the wet area and shut power off at the main breaker only if you can reach it from a dry spot.
- Call us and move what you can off the floor.
Photos of the break help later with any insurance claim.
Then call (720) 894-1012Sewage coming up a drain: your first five minutes
- Stop running water anywhere in the house. Every flush or load of laundry adds to the backup.
- Keep kids and pets away from the wet area. Sewage carries bacteria.
- If you have an outdoor cleanout and can open it safely, the backup may drain there instead of inside.
- Do not pour chemical drain openers into a main line backup.
- Call us. Main line clogs need a cable or a jetter, and a camera tells us why it happened.
Basement floor drains are usually the first place a main line backup shows up.
Then call (720) 894-1012A gas smell inside: your first five minutes
- Leave the house now and take everyone with you.
- Do not flip switches, start a car in an attached garage, or use a lighter on the way out.
- From outside, call 911 or the gas utility emergency line.
- Once the utility has made the area safe, call us to find and repair the leak on your side of the meter.
- Do not go back inside until you are told it is safe.
Gas line repair needs a pressure test before the gas is turned back on.
Then call (720) 894-1012No hot water: your first five minutes
- Check the breaker for an electric heater, or look through the sight glass for a pilot flame on a gas heater.
- If there is water around the tank, turn the cold supply valve on top of the heater to off.
- Smell gas near the heater? Leave and follow the gas steps instead.
- Note the brand and the age on the label if you can see it.
- Call us. Most repairs are done in one visit.
A tank that leaks through its wall cannot be repaired.
Then call (720) 894-1012A frozen pipe: your first five minutes
- Open the faucet the frozen line feeds so melting water can move.
- Warm the area with a space heater or a hair dryer held a safe distance away. Never use an open flame.
- Find the main shutoff now in case the pipe has split and starts leaking as it thaws.
- Open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls to let warm air in.
- Call us if you cannot reach the pipe or it does not thaw within an hour.
Most frozen lines we see in Aurora run through outside walls, garages or crawlspaces.

Local knowledge
Plumbing problems that come with an Aurora address
Aurora grew in waves, and each wave left its own plumbing. The older blocks around Colfax and the original town date to the 1940s and 1950s and often still have galvanized supply pipe and clay or cast iron sewer laterals. The ranches and split-levels of the 1960s and 1970s across central Aurora are now at the age where drain lines, water heaters and shutoff valves wear out together.
Homes built across southeast Aurora in the 1980s and 1990s sometimes have polybutylene supply line, a gray plastic that was used widely in those years and is prone to failing at its fittings. Newer neighborhoods to the east and northeast are mostly PEX and plastic drain pipe, where the common calls are water heaters, pressure problems and fixture work.
Two things affect every one of those houses. Front Range clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which can shift buried sewer and water lines over the years. And our winters bring sudden hard freezes, so pipes in outside walls, garages and crawlspaces need attention every fall.

Plumbing advice written for Aurora homes

How to find and shut off the main water valve in an Aurora home
When a pipe splits, the first minute decides how much water ends up on the floor. Here is where Aurora homes usually hide the main valve, how to close each type, and how to keep it ready for the day you need it.

Why pipes freeze in Aurora homes even with the heat on
A warm living room doesn't protect a pipe inside a cold exterior wall. This guide explains how freezes happen in heated Aurora homes, which spots fail first during an arctic front, and the fixes that actually work.

Tank or tankless at 5,400 feet: choosing a water heater in Aurora
Both kinds of water heater work well in Aurora, but altitude, winter groundwater temperatures and moderately hard water change the math. Here is how to compare them honestly for the way your household uses hot water.

Questions people ask before they call a plumber
Do you really answer the phone at 3 a.m.?
Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including holidays. At night we help you stop the damage first, then send a plumber or set the first morning slot, depending on how urgent the problem is.
How much does a plumber cost in Aurora?
It depends on the job. A basic drain clearing usually runs a few hundred dollars, a water heater replacement runs well over a thousand, and sewer work varies the most. Our price guide lists typical ranges, and you get a firm price before work starts.
Do you charge more for nights and weekends?
After-hours calls can carry a higher rate. We tell you on the phone, before anyone drives out, so you can decide whether to have us come now or first thing in the morning.
Which parts of the metro do you cover?
All of Aurora plus nearby cities such as Denver, Centennial, Parker, Littleton, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield and Commerce City, and much of Arapahoe, Adams, Douglas, Jefferson and Elbert counties. Check your ZIP code on this page or call to ask.
Can you work on my water heater brand?
We work on the brands most Aurora homes have, including Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Rinnai, Navien and Noritz, both tank and tankless, gas and electric.
Is a slow drain worth a call, or should I wait?
One slow sink is usually a local clog. Several slow drains at once, or water rising in a floor drain when you run the washer, point to the main line. That is worth a call before it turns into a backup.
