Drain Cleaning
Slow drains, recurring backups, and main-line clogs. We use motorised drain machines and hydro-jetting to clear tree roots and grease — a frequent issue in older Littleton laterals under mature trees.
Drain cleaningLocal, licensed plumbers for Littleton homes of every era — from 1890s Old Town bungalows to brand-new Sterling Ranch builds. Diagnosed fast, quoted in writing, done right.
Grig Plumbing is a licensed, owner-operated plumbing company serving Littleton, CO and the south Denver metro. We handle drain cleaning, water heater repair and installation, leak detection, pipe repair, and sewer line work — and we are equally at home in a century-old bungalow near Main Street or a new build in Sterling Ranch. Free estimates, written pricing before any work begins.
Finding a reliable plumber in Littleton shouldn’t feel like a gamble. National franchises treat you like a ticket number, and a general handyman rarely has the diagnostic gear a real plumbing system needs — let alone the experience an older Littleton home demands. Based in Aurora, an easy run east, we cover the whole city and the communities around it, from Old Town and Columbine to Ken Caryl, Grant Ranch, and Roxborough Park.
Littleton has one of the most varied housing stocks in the metro, and that is exactly what makes local experience matter. What a 1905 Queen Anne needs is not what a 2022 smart home needs — and we work on both.

Drain cleaningNo hot water, leaks, or a tank past its prime. We repair and install tank, tankless, gas, and electric units — including the Ultra Low NOx models Colorado now requires.
Water heatersHidden leaks in walls or under slabs cost thousands if ignored. We locate them acoustically before cutting, then repair with minimal disruption — including galvanised and repiping work in older homes.
Pipe repairFrom camera inspections to trenchless sewer replacement, we handle the big underground jobs — and tell you honestly when a repair beats a full replacement.
Sewer & water linesBurst pipes, gas line issues, and sudden water heater failures don’t keep business hours. We dispatch fast to limit the damage, day or night.
Emergency serviceToilets, faucets, sinks, garbage disposals, and fixture upgrades — including sensitive work in period bathrooms where matching and preservation matter.
Bathroom & kitchenFew metro towns span as many building eras as Littleton. A home’s age tells us more about its plumbing than its address does — here is what we typically find, and fix, across the three.
The bungalows, Victorians, and Queen Annes near historic Main Street. Beautiful homes, decades-old plumbing.
Grant Ranch, Columbine, Bel-Vue Heights, and the Mid Mod Mile. The bulk of Littleton’s established housing.
Sterling Ranch, Chatfield Farms, and newer infill. Modern systems — but not maintenance-free.
Why it matters when you call. A plumber who only knows new construction will struggle in a 1910 bungalow, and one who never sees new builds misses how modern manifold systems fail. We work across all three eras every week, so the diagnosis fits your actual home — not a generic script. If your older Littleton home still has galvanised or possible lead lines, see our pipe and leak repair approach.
Littleton was settled in 1862 and incorporated in 1890 — the Arapahoe County seat, with a historic Main Street and housing stock to match. Old homes bring old plumbing, and old plumbing needs a plumber who has seen it before.
Greater Littleton spills across three counties, which means different building departments, permit rules, and inspection expectations depending on where your home sits. We work within all three.
Like the rest of the metro, Littleton sits above a mile high. Gas water heaters need correct high-altitude venting and combustion setup, or they backdraft and burn inefficiently. We size and vent for elevation as standard.
Most of the City of Littleton is served by Denver Water, which classifies its supply as soft to moderately hard — gentler than the hard-water suburbs east and south. Hardness still varies by which collection system feeds your block, and outlying Littleton-addressed areas may sit on their own districts. Scale builds more slowly here, but it still builds, so we flush water heaters and spec the right anode rod regardless.

Minor work such as a drain unclog, faucet repair, or fixture swap generally falls in Grig Plumbing’s published $150 to $400 range. Larger jobs like water heater installation, repiping, or sewer line work run higher, typically $800 to $3,000 or more. Older Littleton homes can add scope — a failing galvanised line or a cracked cast-iron drain is more involved than a modern PEX repair. We give a free estimate and a written price before any work starts.
Yes — it is one of the things we do most. We regularly work on late-19th and early-20th-century homes near Old Town and mid-century ranches across the city, dealing with galvanised steel supply lines, cast-iron drains, aging sewer laterals, and the layers of prior DIY work that older Littleton homes accumulate. That experience is exactly what a period home needs.
Most of the City of Littleton is served by Denver Water, which classifies its supply as soft to moderately hard — gentler than the hard-water suburbs to the east and south. Hardness still varies by which collection system feeds your neighbourhood, and some outlying Littleton-addressed areas sit on their own water districts. Scale builds more slowly here than in Aurora or Parker, but it still builds, so regular water heater flushing is still worth it.
Yes. Galvanised steel corrodes from the inside out, choking water pressure and discolouring water, and is a common repipe job in pre-war Littleton homes. If a service line may be lead, we identify the material before recommending anything — a leaking lead line should be replaced, not patched. See our pipe and leak repair page for how we approach it.
We offer same-day scheduling and 24/7 emergency service across Littleton and the south metro. Based in Aurora, an easy run east, we reach most of the area quickly — often within a couple of hours for urgent calls, with active leaks and total outages given priority.
Yes. Grig Plumbing is fully licensed and insured in Colorado. We are owner-operated, so the person quoting your job is the person doing it — not a rotating crew from a national dispatch centre.
No. Estimates are free. We assess the job, explain what it needs, and give you a written price before starting. For simple jobs you can often text us photos and get a ballpark before we even drive out.
All of them, plus the surrounding south metro. That includes Old Town and Downtown Littleton, Columbine, Columbine Knolls, Columbine Valley, Ken Caryl, Grant Ranch, Roxborough Park, Chatfield Farms, and Sterling Ranch, across the 80120 to 80130 ZIP range.
Both, from a single faucet repair to a full repipe, water heater, or sewer line replacement. If a repair is the smarter call, we will say so rather than pushing an unnecessary replacement.
Old bungalow or brand-new build, we know the difference. Free estimates, written pricing, and a licensed local plumber who treats your home like their own.
