Emergency Plumber Bow Mar, CO Near Littleton
Licensed plumbing for Bow Mar's original one-story, one-acre-lot homes, built around the town's private lake since 1947.
A Slab Leak Or A Repeat Leak Isn't Random Here
If you own one of Bow Mar's original homes and you've had more than one leak in the past few years, that's not bad luck. It's the age of the town catching up with the plumbing. Bow Mar's first home was built in 1947, the town incorporated in 1958, and most of its roughly 300 single-family homes on one-acre lots date from that founding era, many designed in Frank Lloyd Wright's one-story prairie style. That makes Bow Mar one of the oldest housing stocks in this entire service area.
Why Age Matters More Here Than Elsewhere
Original copper and galvanized supply lines from the late 1940s through the 1950s are now nearing or past 70 years old, well beyond any reasonable service life expectation. Slab leaks in particular show up more often in a town this age than in newer-built parts of the network's coverage area. Bow Mar's own water and sewer utility, the Bow Mar Water and Sanitation District, has managed steady infrastructure upgrades since the 1980s, but that district-side work doesn't extend to the plumbing inside individual homes.

Repeat Leaks In Your Bow Mar Home?
We know what founding-era plumbing looks like here.
Named For A Founder Of King Soopers
According to town records, Bow Mar's original developer, Lloyd King, also founded the King Soopers grocery chain, and the town's name itself combines Bowles Lake and Marston Lake, the two bodies of water the community was built around. Many of today's residents are second- or third-generation families, and a private lake, yacht club, and tennis courts are still part of daily life here, a level of continuity that's rare this close to a major metro area.
What We Get Called For Most In Bow Mar
Slab leak detection tops the list, given the age and construction style of the original homes here. Whole-home repiping is a close second, often requested proactively by homeowners who've already dealt with one leak and don't want to chase the next one.

Service Details →Serving Bow Mar's ZIP
Bow Mar shares ZIP 80123 with neighboring Columbine Valley. We dispatch across the full town, from the lakefront streets to the properties bordering Columbine Valley and Littleton.
We take the same slab leak and repiping calls from neighboring 80120 and 80128 addresses just outside Bow Mar's town limits, since 1940s and 1950s-era copper lines don't stop at a town border either.
Why We Check The Whole System, Not Just The Leak
When we find one slab leak in a Bow Mar home, we check the rest of the accessible supply line for the same age-related wear. A single leak in a 70-plus-year-old system is rarely an isolated event. That approach saves homeowners from paying for a repair, then a second repair, then finally a repipe, when a single honest conversation upfront could have covered the real scope from the start.

Common Questions From Bow Mar Homeowners
Is my home old enough that a slab leak is likely?
If it's one of Bow Mar's original 1947-1950s homes, age alone makes a slab leak a real possibility, especially if you've had prior leaks or a rising water bill with no clear cause.
Does the Bow Mar Water District handle plumbing inside my house?
No, the district manages the water and sewer infrastructure up to your property. Plumbing inside the home, including slab lines, is the homeowner's responsibility.
Are one-acre lots harder to service than smaller properties?
Longer runs from the street to the house can mean a longer water service line, which is worth factoring into any water line repair or replacement estimate.
Do you work on homes near the lake specifically?
Yes, we serve all of Bow Mar, including homes directly on the lake.
Do you cover every ZIP code in Bow Mar?
Yes, all of Bow Mar falls within the single 80123 ZIP code, and we cover every street around the lake, from the Bow Mar Drive loop out to the town's border with Columbine Valley.
Is emergency service available in Bow Mar?
