What to expect from the plumbing in a 2020s Painted Prairie home
Painted Prairie covers 628 acres in Adams County and is planned for about 3,400 homes at build-out, with most built in the 2020s. The mix includes front load and alley load single family homes, paired homes and townhomes, all built recently. Supply lines are PEX, drains are PVC or ABS, and water heaters are often tankless or high efficiency tanks in a garage or utility closet, depending on the plan.
New construction plumbing is generally solid, but the first years can bring small surprises. A PEX fitting that was not fully seated may start weeping months after move-in. Drains can collect construction debris. A shutoff under a sink may have been left half open, which shows up as weak flow. Paired homes and townhomes share walls, so a leak can affect the neighbor too, and quick action matters.
Many owners also want upgrades soon after moving in: a better kitchen faucet, a water filter, a softener for the moderately hard water or a gas line for a range or patio grill. Gas work needs a permit and inspection, and any digging starts with a call to Colorado 811. For anything the builder still covers, check with them first. For everything else, we can handle it.

A weeping PEX fitting or a drain joint behind new drywall can show up months after closing. We pinpoint it so the repair is one neat opening.

Builder grade faucets often get swapped for something better. We install the new faucet, replace the supply lines and check the shutoffs at the same time.

Patio grills, fire tables and gas range upgrades need a properly sized line. We pull the permit, call 811 for buried runs and pressure test the new line.

Settling in to a new Painted Prairie home
- Find every shutoff nowLocate the main valve and the shutoffs under each sink and behind each toilet. In a townhome, knowing them saves you and your neighbor from water damage.
- Check builder coverage firstIf a problem appears in the first year or two, read your builder paperwork to see what is covered. For urgent leaks, stop the water first.
- Clean the aeratorsNew homes can push small debris through the lines. Unscrew faucet aerators after the first few months and rinse out any grit.

Questions
Plumbing questions from Painted Prairie
What should I do about a small leak in my new Painted Prairie townhome?
Turn off the shutoff at that fixture, or the main valve if you cannot find the source. Let your neighbor know if you share a wall. Check whether your builder still covers the issue. If it is urgent or no longer covered, call us and we will find and fix the leak.
Can you install a gas line for a grill at a new Painted Prairie home?
Yes. We size the line for the grill and everything else on your gas meter, route it safely and call Colorado 811 before any digging. Gas piping needs a permit and inspection in Aurora, which we pull. We pressure test the line before your first cookout.
Why is my tankless water heater in Painted Prairie showing an error code?
Common causes include low flow at a fixture, a blocked vent or air intake, a gas supply issue or scale in the heat exchanger. Some codes clear after a reset, but a repeat code points to a real problem. We read the code, test the unit and fix the cause.
