A county that spans seventy years of suburban plumbing
Arapahoe County had 655,070 residents at the 2020 Census, and about 336,000 of them lived in Aurora. The rest are spread across older inner suburbs like Englewood and Glendale, mid century and later neighborhoods in Littleton and Centennial, and estate properties in Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills Village. Each group of homes brings its own mix of pipe materials and the failures that go with them.
The older western suburbs often have galvanized supply pipe, cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals. Homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s brought copper, and some from roughly 1978 to 1995 used polybutylene, which fails at fittings. Newer developments on the eastern edge of the suburbs use PEX and plastic drains, where the issues shift toward heaters, valves and fixtures.
East of the suburbs, the county opens into plains and smaller communities with more rural properties. Across all of it, expansive clay soil swells and shrinks with moisture, slowly stressing slabs and buried pipe. Gas appliances need high-altitude setup, and water heater replacement, gas piping, sewer replacement and repiping usually require a permit and inspection, which we pull.

We cover Aurora, Centennial, Englewood, Littleton, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and Glendale, along with unincorporated areas between them. Each city has its own page on our site with details for its housing. We answer 24/7 for emergencies anywhere in the county.
Is Littleton or Aurora the seat of Arapahoe County?
Littleton is the county seat, even though Aurora holds far more of the county's population. For plumbing, the county line matters less than the age of your house and the city you live in, since permits and water service come from your city and your water provider.
